ARCHIVED This Sucks With My Crazy-busy, Travelin' Life!
melrobsings replied to Rivergirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I travel for a living but a few years ago i worked all over the world. The only thing is can say is bring the "i can't eat what products" cards with you to EVERYTHING. If you can't get an answer from people just start bringing your own stuff....sounds tacky and it's a bit embarrassing at first but you get over it real quick cause you aren't playing a guessing... -

ARCHIVED What Do You Think?
melrobsings replied to angayla17's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
If you have a whole foods near you they have their own brand of bread and I can't get enough of it!!!! They have different flavors too! Otherwise just order stuff online. It is a pain, and expensive but I personally think it's worth it (if you aren't near a whole foods). Personally, I LIVE for whole foods! I have tried the Annes gluten-free mac and cheese... -

Do the entire house gluten-free. My best friend had a dairy allergy and I'm gluten-free and we are a dairy free/gluten-free house. i have a GREAT recipe for chocolate cupcake/brownie thingys. They sound like a pain but they really aren't and are GREAT! 1 1/3 cup chocolate chips (i think semisweet is the way to go) 3/4 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces...

So try the ginger ale...and I didn't fill it to the "fill line" I did it about an inch below so i didn't have to drink as much...it worked... -

I'm a full time actor and a full time psychic. I had to take a few months off from acting due to health issues though, I'm getting back in ASAP. I LOVE both jobs, acting more though...but not by much. My goal with psychic-ing is to work for the police, i have a great client base and hope to add NYPD on there! Acting has been my main income all my life... -

I HAD NO IDEA!!!! Thats why I got SICK when I was a kid....bastards! They should advertise that!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm going to an fertility doctor and he said with Celiacs it's scary and we can be up to 40% infertile. I see you don't live in NYC, but if you are ever in the area I'm more then happy to give you his number, he's WONDERFUL!!! I wish you all the luck and health in the world!

ARCHIVED How Sick Were You On Gluten?
melrobsings replied to amberleigh's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Every time I ate I would be doubled up in pain and spend HOURS in the bathroom. Sometimes I would be in so much pain i would see black spots and would put myself to bed and wake up a few hours later covered in hives, not to mention i would be in a horrid mood and refuse to speak. I bloat like you can't believe and get very spacey and can't focus as well...
