ARCHIVED Who Has Done Weight Watchers?
shellhoo replied to penguin's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have been on the core program and the flex program. I am on flex now. I only do online. I find it is very easy to follow boing gluten free. You pretty much just stick to 5 fruits, 3 dairy, and you have soo many points in a day. You can eat whatever you want as long as you track points. I did the meetings about 5 years ago, and it didn't work for me... -
ARCHIVED Witness The Amazing Flip-flopping Mom!
shellhoo replied to penguin's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
In my early days as celiac before I knew I had it, i would do that all the time. I would just go into the bathroom and vomit and feel better immediately. -
I agree, try upping the potassium intake. Another food that has potassium is peaches. I try to eat both once a day. Sometimes I make vanilla pudding and cut up peaches and bananas and throw them in the pudding. Makes a yummy night time TV snack.

Do you think maybe the migraines and brain fog are connected?
-
I was wondering about the whole brain fog everyone occasionally lists as a symptom. Last night, I had something really weird happen. I don't know if it is associated with my celiac or not. First I got a bad headache and then I was talking to my kids but it was like what I wanted to say and what I was actually saying were 2 different things. i was making...

I am sorry you are having a hard time. Glutenfree packaged products like bagels, do not sit well with me either. I really have to make things from scratch. the only thing that does not bother me at all is the kinnickinnick donuts.But i can only eat one at a time. I bought some animal crackers from them, and I hope they don't bother me, cause when i was...

ARCHIVED Trix
shellhoo replied to Mindy35's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Are you sure that it does not contain wheat starch? I have a box with 75% less sugar, exp is sep 14 06, and the 4th ingredient from the last says wheat starch. I missed it at first, so i bought it. Just checking. -
I was Dx when I was 19, and I didn't really understand the disease too well. I was pretty much told to just stay away from bread and cookies and stuff like that. I still had a lot of symptoms but the bulk of it went away. I got pregnant for my son fairly easy and had a normal pregnancy. I had some symptoms just from not knowing all the hidden glutens and...

ARCHIVED Shampoo & Conditioner

I've been getting little sores on my scalp recently. I think it is because of my shampoo. Maybe I am more sensitive lately. What kind do you all use? Your responses are greatly appreciated! -
ARCHIVED Apt. With Nutritionist Last Night
shellhoo replied to danikali's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ha Ha. I know what you mean! I've explained celiac to my family numerous times. My stepmother thinks that I can't have starch, as in potatoes. It's odd. I go to family functions where there is food and she thinks she's being nice to me by making brownies. She says here Shell, I made these for you. I'm like yeah, sure, thanks. I'll pass on those, I... -
ARCHIVED Mental Laws Or Mental Health
shellhoo replied to Claire's topic in Publications & Publicity
That is soo right that you said that you could not stand yourself, because I remember on one occasion I actually told my doctor those exact words!!!! She put me on depression meds back then. They didn't help too well. -
I've gained some weight since going gluten free, i think because I am absorbing nutrients now and i was not before. I too binge occasionally.. I agree with the whole potato chip thing!!

ARCHIVED Mental Laws Or Mental Health
shellhoo replied to Claire's topic in Publications & Publicity
That article is soo true. I am soo much more calm and easier to live with now that i am gluten free. I used to be hot headed and fly off the handle a lot. My mind is much more clear now. Now, I find that I am just soo much more patient. Soo, being gluten free does have it's benefits! -

ARCHIVED Real People Cereal
shellhoo replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have a box of Trix 75% less sugar sitting in front of me right now. I can tell you that I'm sure it is gluten free. I've been eating it at work all week and have not had a reaction and i am sure to get a reaction if I am glutened at all. when I went to the grocery store last week i saw that the regular boxes of trix had flour as one of the first ingredients... -
ARCHIVED Am I The Only One Who Feels This Way?
shellhoo replied to glutenfreeheather's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I agree with celiacruz. I've had celiac disease for a long time and while sometimes it is hard to see people eating things that i can not eat, I just think that their is soo much more to my life than food. I ahve 2 beautiful children and one more on the way and I try not to really focus on the disease anymore. I know what I can and can't eat so I ... -

ARCHIVED What Does A Typical Day Of Eating Look Like For You All?
shellhoo replied to BeccaM's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello- I've had celiac for a long time now. My typical diet for breakfast is fruit, an organic crispy rice bar ( i like peanut butter) and sometimes I eat a homemade muffin or a piece of homemade banana bread. I make and freeze. For lunch, I have tortilla chips and cheese, or a baked potato with cheese. Somtimes, i have a cold plate with ham, cottage cheese... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Bakeries
shellhoo posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello everyone! Does anyone know of any bakeries that specialize in gluten free foods that maybe ship their products out? Goodies they make themselves that are fresh? Michelle -
I am pregnant and have celiac disease. I've known since I was 17. I'm now 28. I have 2 children who do not have celiac disease.I'm not sure how it runs in families. I know that my grandmother had it. But my parents and my sisters do not. I guess if my kids started showing any signs of being sick, I would have them tested. I'm not too worried about passing...
