    It took probably 2 - 3 months to gain back the weight, I didn't have much of an appetite. I have been underweight for a while and started losing again before Celiac diagnosis. Now gaining on gluten-free diet. I remember also feeling really awful on the antibiotics for c-diff and it takes a few days, after finishing, to get THAT fully out of your system...

    Anyone know for sure if Wellbutrin is definitely gluten-free? Took half a pill today and am crawling out of my skin - have taken it before with great results, though..... Thanks! Susan

    Rachel - I don't know what the SCD diet is (but will research) but I do hope that between that and HOPEFULLY curing your c. diff and other bacteria that you will be feeling SO much better soon! I lost a ton of weight during my siege wtih c. diff and didn't have it nearly as long as you seem to have had it....

    God bless all of you for your thoughtful replies and your prayers. I guess I feel REALLY discouraged about this breakup because I AM 44 YEARS OLD!!!! Bless you Robbin...the man I just broke up with WAS mydream man - - the most kind, caring human I have ever known. To a fault, though....all of the people he was taking care of financially, emotionally...

    ARCHIVED Juicing

    DingoGirl replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    I have a juicer and used to LOVE my fresh juices, but haven't used it in a while. But, I just read on here yeterday on a thread about - memory problems or something? - I CAN'T REMEMBER - - that carrot, apple and grape would help restore our brains.....I immediately ran to store to stock up on carrots and apples. Also peel and put in fresh ginger...

    sniff....Lisa that REALLY made me burst into tears.....how kind you are! That photo was a year-and-a-half ago, in healthier days....hoping to get back there again! (would rather have a picture of my two dogs on here but can't seem to make that work) Am goign to watch the Oscars now, that is always good fun! Well Ian, if you...

    I'm practically Amish when it comes to the computer... I am wondering how to highlight and reply to part or parts of a post....when I hit reply, the whole message shows up. Also, what does "DH" mean? People use it a lot and I can't figure it out - something to do wtih spouses, I think, but I've seen it used in other references also, maybe...

    I just came and read what you guys wrote, and promptly burst into tears. But in a good way....no one in my immediate world understands what this is like, but you all do. Yes, losing the fiance at the same time is doubly hard..... Have to keep telling myself there is a reason and purpose for all of this.....and that that really WASN'T the man God had...

    I just posted something under weight loss/gain/depression but I thought I'd better post separately. I have suffered from deep depression for years, it got worse the sicker and more malnourished I became. Been gluten-free just 6 weeks, felt FANTASTIC the first 3 or 4.....but now find myself kind of dangerously sad, slipping into a black hole, and...
  12. DingoGirl
    I know how you feel....I have put on about 15 pounds in 6 weeks, and I know we NEEDED to as we were malnourished, but I don't like it either. And, as of the last couple of weeks, am NOT eating any junk except potato chips here and there. I've never eaten better in my life, in fact - - tons of veggies, fruits, lean meats, fish and chicken....no dairy as...
  13. DingoGirl
    Wow German Guy! Thanks for all of that, when my brain's not so foggy (like maybe in the morning) I am going to look at that more closely...it sounds hard but maybe it's not that hard? We will see. I have about a 5-second memory now, hopefully that will improve...

    It's an old thread, but oh my gosh! I didn't even know, and I have taken Gas X a few times - ugh! Good for us newbies to know!!
  15. DingoGirl
    I've been gluten-free for about 6 weeks and I don't know what's goign on......was in a FOG for years, then came out of it dramatically after being gluten-free for just 5 days......but am kind of in it again. A more alert fog, I will say, but, I can't remember anything for more than about 5 seconds and everything seems really confusing. Can barely perform...

    Wow Veronica, I think working in a checkout line would be one of the worst things for us! I could imagine having to run off several times a day.... I had to give notice yesterday at work, in a way. I won't be assistant manager and work the front any more - there is just too much pressure if I'm the only one there and there's no bathroom nearby....

    ARCHIVED Amazing

    DingoGirl replied to BamBam's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    And you know what, it is SO awesome to have this board, since no one in my world understands this like you guys do!!

    Hi Sassy! You sound really fabulous and perky for a "newbie" - usually, those are the saddest, most bewildered ones (myself included!). What's your secret??????
  19. DingoGirl
    Sigh. It's hard to be us, and only WE understand!! If it's not ONE thing......
  20. DingoGirl
    THANK YOU, THANK YOU guys for those suggestions! Somehow I was just drawing a blank and kind of in a state of grief at not only losing GLUTEN, but then dairy. But, my stomach is about 3 inches flatter than yesterday.... I think that in heaven, there are great, fluffy clouds made of ice cream, BREAD, good fluffu gluten-filled muffins, homemade CHOCOLATE...

    It's a toaster oven, and it was kind of an expensive one.....and if I've run my cookware through the DW, shouldn't all of that be okay? I think it's dairy. Today I ate a big helping of tapioca pudding, oh, and also a big glass of milk at breakfast, and if you didn't know me, you'd SWEAR I was 6 months pregnant! BIG BLOAT!!!
  22. DingoGirl
    Hi all - I'm SO sad to have to give up dairy, hopefully it is temporary. I can handle the rest of the day, but I really don't know what to do about breakfast. You guys are awesome, anybody have any dairy-free breakfast hints? I can only think of peanut butter on gluten-free bread of gluten-free waffles......no more cottage cheese wtih fruit, yoghurt...
  23. DingoGirl
    Rachel your memory is better than you think....I have NOT replaced toaster, etc. But, if I live alone, and cleaned everything, do I really need another??? Grrrr.....this is SO taxing! I mean, when we're feeling great, it seems worth it, but when we're not....it's just TAXING!!!

    When I met with my GI after biopsy results he said that I had NO villi whatsoever, the surface of small intestine was virtually flattened. I have been reading that it is the tips of the villi that produce the lactase... Frankly, Nisla, I am worn out from checking for GLUTEN in everything but you could be right, it could be in SOMETHING that I've...
  25. DingoGirl
    Hi all, I hope you can help.... I've been gluten-free for almost 6 weeks now. Felt really great the first 3 - 4, but I don't know what's going on. checked everything. My stomach sticks out really far now, and always hurts. I was glutened Sat. night and had major D on Sunday. D again Tues. morning. Now, constipated, nothing, just lots of stomach...
