go NOW and buy "The Gluten-Free Bible" by Jax Peters Lowell. you'll find lots of enouragement, tips, etc. i don't know where i'd be without this book. i know it's hard to stick to this diet, but you need to know that it's not a choice. you already have serious illnesses, why would you want to hurt your health now? you WILL NOT HEAL if you keep cheating...

ARCHIVED Tired All The Time...
kristing replied to Elizabeth-Elindel's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
make sure you're getting enough vitamins and minerals! it's tough to do sometimes with a gluten-free diet. i'm in a nutrition class right now and we had to do a diet analysis. i found that i'd been getting less than half of alot of vitamins and other nutrients i need. i got new vitamins to take daily, but you should check with your doctor first to make sure... -
ARCHIVED Am I The Only One Who Feels This Way?
kristing replied to glutenfreeheather's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You're not the only one who feels this way, and don't feel bad about it. There's nothing worse than feeling crappy because you feel crappy. My advice: MOURN YOUR LOSS. To quote the wonderful Jax Peters Lowell: "Something very important is missing from your life, an entire food group. It deserves its own mourning period. This is the first step in healing... -

kristing replied to marciab's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am a 25 year old college student (it's taken me so long because of the brain fog and other problems with celiac disease, as you guys have experienced). i started having seizures about 4 years ago, and last year they got so bad, doctors began testing for brain tumors, epilepsy, etc etc. i did my own research and found celiac disease, made an appointment... -
i'm new to this forum so i'm not sure if this topic has been reviewed before or not, but i'm really confused on the issue of vinegar. i've heard from some people that it's ok as long as it's distilled, but then others say it's ok whether it's distilled or not. it's a pretty big deal since it's in alot of things, i was just wondering if anyone knew for sure...

ARCHIVED Self-diagnosed, Looking For Help Understanding..
kristing replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
like you, i had to 'self-diagnose'. i was having seizures about this time last year, and after being tested for brain tumors and epilepsy, i did some reasearch and found celiac disease. even though i thought this was what was wrong with me, no doctor agreed. i began following the diet on my own, then this summer i finally made my own appointment with a gastroenterologist... -
i've been gluten free since this summer, and i work in a restaurant. it's really hard, especially when you see food that you want to eat but can't. it's important that your co-workers and bosses are behind you 100% and understand that this disease IS a disability! the dust mask is a good idea, and gloves are important as well. like i said, it's hard but as...
