    wow - so you KIND of get to eat the poison, but not really.....not sure which is worse!

    I have never cared about food my whole life, basically just ate to live (EXCEPT always loved bistro dining and great food when anyone else prepared it ) - been gluten-free about 2 months - suddenly I'm dreaming of food nearly every night, and it's always things like brownies, cookies, fluffy desserts, hamburgers, all gluten-containing items. I never eat...

    This is good news, my best friend lives in San Jose and that sounds like a place we can go. I lived in the Carmel area for seven years, wish I'd known about that! (Wish I'd known about celiac disease also, back then.....could have changed many things)! Thanks for the info! Susan

    Robbin, I am lactose-intolerant....don't really know anything about casein at this point - is it not derived from milk? Just eliminated dairy recently with great success in the stomach area....not bloated and painful as before. So sorry about your rice....maybe I"ll try the lactaid and see what happens - - - look out, I feel a binge coming on....

    This is good news.....I don't care about nutrition if I'm going to make my mom's choc. chip cookies.....just some semblance of that heavenly morsel would be fabulous..... I bought some sweet rice flour from Trader Joe's - will that work? Thanks - susan

    Had to ban myself from Kozy Shack, it's not allowed in the house.....my favorite binge food after going gluten-free, but then, had to give up dairy...I could put away a 6-pack of the stuff in no time...sniff....

    I was startled to learn, as I had never heard of Celiac, that I had literally NO villi left at all, intestine was completely flattened.....which explained complete malmutrition and chronically not being able to keep weight on......

    I second the request, I LOVE rice pudding and was eating tons of it until last week, when I had to give up dairy.... A good recipe with rice or soy milk would be great!!

    That is good to know....I am very scared to attempt any baking. I just look at my new flours and just close the cupboard and walk away. Kind of a waste of money, I had better look into this....

    This is good news.....I can't stand Whole Foods but do go there once a month to get my Prairie Bread at $8.50 a loaf and the Moche rice thing I can't live without.... What do you use xantham gum for? Also - there is an Asian bakery here that makes these "steamed buns" - SOOOOO fantastic - they're made with rice flour and I don't know what else but my...

    Paula, you have no idea. That is just what I wanted to hear, your "issues" sound a lot like mine, esp. the psychological ones. (except what's weird is that my stomach hurts more now AFTER going gluten-free - PLUS I've gained 15 pounds that I"d like to lose part of). I was a bad (read: scatterbrained and totally disorganized) secretary a couple of times...

    THAT IS EXACTLT WHAT WE MEAN!!!! Thank you Nisla. My day just got a bit brighter! - Susan
  13. DingoGirl
    Yup, great minds.... I was going to remove my thread so there'd only be one, but there are responses. You're right, maybe we WILL get more this way!
  14. DingoGirl
    Aaagh! You read my mind!!

    Some of us were just writing in another thread that we'd LOVE to hear from old-time celiacs, who've had it for years, I guess? - to write and tell us that this really all does get better. And tell us, perhaps, how LONG it might take to stabilize....that the torture of going gluten-free (and in some cases giving up so much more than gluten, even) really...
  16. DingoGirl
    I didn't know about that list! Thank you! Hopefully today WILL be better.....yesterday was rough! Thanks, guys, for your support!! Blessings - susan

    Ohhh.....I DO feel your pain! I don't think anyone will be mad at you at all, and I think you're right - we should start a separate thread for ENCOURAGEMENT from veteran celiacs who feel so much better now! Great idea. Last night I just started eating icea cream, didn't care, but it wasn't that good so I was able to stop after a few bites....stomach...

    no, not the dog!!! Dogs are never disgusted with us! I have two and am constantly worshipped. You are really having a time of it Robbin, I will pray for you. I still dont' know what leaky gut is....excellent that you get the computer more during lent! I don't think you are weird and dramatic tonight.....these issues DO become consuming because they...
  19. DingoGirl
    Can someone explain what leaky gut actually is? Kind of confused on that. Thanks!

    Do you feel the C-Diff triggered your Celiac? I was worried about getting thrush but took plenty of probiotics...I think it helped. (still not doing the reply thing right as you can see) Rachel - I don't know if c-diff triggered Celiac but you know what, that's about when my bowels started slowlychanging. I just thought it was nerves. We have...

    Oh dear.....I believe you just stopped taking antibiotics a day or two ago? They are really savage and very strong.....I am so sorry you don't feel cured, but *maybe* a few more days without those drugs will help.....praying that you'll feel better just being off that. I remember it WAS an awful two weeks on that drug! I felt even sicker and yes, depressed...

    DingoGirl - do you make yourself gluten free pasta? If so, did you toss out your old colander? It's impossible to get all of the residue out of those little holes. There might be some old gluten hiding in there. I hope you feel better soon. Cindy Cindy - I had never thought of that! It's an ANCIENT metal colander.....and I have made gluten...

    One-quarter Norwegian and the rest, Scottish, Irish, English. I think there was another thread juts like this running the last few days, also inspired by that book (I'm waiting for my copy!). Seemed to me that it had gotten to be several pages....check it out!
  24. DingoGirl
    Ohhhhhh boy..... *my* experience - I think different from Rachel's - involved EXPLOSIVE and violent D which hit me very suddenly about three years ago. My bowels had been perfect to this point. I had been on massive steroids and antibiotics for this outrageous case of edemic/systemic poison oak. A few weeks later (after healthy bacteria had been wiped...

    I heard or read somewhere - maybe on this site? - that there is an Italian restaurant in Santana Row - might be Maggiano's - that has some good gluten-free choices or a menu, even. I got pretty excited about it! Let us know...... Susan
