ARCHIVED Skepticism From Family
melrobsings replied to Janniec6's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I think the true test will be putting him on the diet. Just stop doubting yourself, breath and eat gluten-free. If he gets better great, if not, try something else....easy peasy! (not really with gluten-free food but yall know what i mean) -
ARCHIVED Celiac Disease And Mental Illness
melrobsings replied to ASwinger's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm bi-polar and going gluten-free did nothing for me. I have found one drug that works BRILLIANTLY for me and I have found meditating helps a LOT. Have you looked into reiki, acupuncture or any other eastern medicines? I have done reiki for mental health and pain management and I found a VAST difference!! I would still be doing it but insurance doesn... -

ARCHIVED Normal Food Suggestions
melrobsings replied to Suffering in Ohio's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have found in restaurants with waiters/waitresses that don't give a crap about their job and think we are all head cases I just say "I have a SEVERE allergy to Gluten and it's not just an allergy it's also a disease" then they sometimes take pity on you. i hate to pull that route but I found it sometimes works. Also I have learned if you don't have a... -

A friend of mine told me about this company that makes a vitamin type thing in a shake base that you take 2 times a day.

His friend then told me that she has depression and fibro milga (i know i spelled that wrong, sorry!) and... -
