    Meredith - what kind of gum are you chewing? Or does it happen with any kind of gum you chew? I chew TONS of Wrigley's Spearming, no problem.

    Hi Rachel - here's the message I'm getting: You are not allowed to upload that type of file as an avatar or personal photo I don't think it's too big, 681 bytes, but will investigate.... heck, I'm practically Amish when it comes to computers, it's really like an alien in my home and as long as everything's working fine, we get along, but, I don't...

    Patti - I get it now, why some Celiacs don't work. I'm pretty depressed over it actually, and wondering what I"m going to do. Might have to look for a "work from home" job.....and the immodium is definitely in my purse at all times now!

    I, too, cannot upload any photo at all - either under the AVATAR setting or the UPLOAD PHOTO setting. Can we fix this? it doesn't seem to matter what I try - cannot put a photo of my doggies on there - - what should I do???

    Oh THANK you guys for that advice.....I managed the entire eight-and-a-half-hour shift, no breaks, on my feet all day...only 3 potty breaks, NO D all day so that was a bonus. I will definitely get some immodium for those occasions. Driving a bus and being out on sales calls - I don't know how you guys can do that! Kudos to you....at least I can RUN...

    It is odd.....I never had stomach pain at all, just intestinal issues I attributed to nerves and medication. Now, five weeks gluten-free and 3 times, after accidentally ingesting, I am in SEVERE distress for a couple of days, with major D and really pronounced abdominal pain. It's no fun at all!

    Hi all - I'm working myself into a panic about this....but, what do you all do at work when there are major intestinal problems? I went out Sat. night (never go out any more to eat ), obviously ate something bad, suffered most of the day today. Not only my gut but even my emotions/mind feel messed up.....tomorrow I work 8 hours, six of them alone - ...

    Within a week of removing gluten, I felt incredibly energized......it has been this way for most of the five weeks I've been following the diet. I don't know if I"m manic or not......it doesn't really FEEL like mania, just high energy, kind of like someone who's hyper, maybe. I don't know. However, the 3 or so times I've accidentally had gluten, I feel...

    thank you, THAT is good news....I've never really binged before, and am just CRAVING certain kinds of foods! Hopefully this shall pass....

    I have been gluten-free for 3 1/2 weeks after positive biopsy/blood tests and all of it.......I was always thin and never cared about food at all, forcing down 3 meals a day before dx and severely malnourished. I started feeling *fantastic* just five days gluten-free, but this week - trouble. Anywho, I have gained 8 pounds and now find myself RAVENOUS at...

    Michelle - I wrote a week or two ago about how *fabulous* I was feeling just two weeks gluten-free......Oh, I feel your pain. This last week has not been good at all. STarting last Monday with *EXPLOSIVE* D and from what cause, I know not! I've carefully reviewed everything.....now there is bloating every day, brain fog, fatigue, and just a general sense...

    Carla - I was diagnosed 2 1/2 weeks ago, have been gluten-free for only that long.....felt GREAT five days into it until today - obviously I ate something yesterday... Still researching what it was. But, I have to go to LV in May for my niece's graduation, and I don't know WHAT to do or where to eat, and since I'm so sick today, I am really concerned...

    Hey there - I"ve been gluten-free for two-and-a-half weeks - I noticed improvement in my bowels and mental health in just five days. I am using the same pots and pans, the same toaster that I used before, without any special treatment. Everything was great until today - 3 major bouts of D. I think I ate something with gluten yesterday, either the Basking...

    I am really new here, just 10 days gluten free, but I, my family and friends literally cannot believe the change already. I was so severely malnourished that I could hardly perform the most simple and basic tasks. My "brain fog" was debilitating, to the extent that I lost jobs, relationships, and most of my former self, as the list of things I "used to...

    Um, wait a minute....where is that Kellogg's Corn Pops information? My heart is pounding......can I really eat those? that would make me extremely happy, and replace my pretzel habit at night.....
  16. DingoGirl
    Oh dear....did you not get my reply? I responded to your pm, I think it was yesterday, wrote a rather lengthy message. Let me know if you got it or not, it seems to me some people are having trouble with private messaging..... I was diagnosed just one week ago and cried for the first three days. Thought life was over. But, after 6 days of being gluten...

    I am new here, new to this whole, surrreal situation......but I can tell you that I think I've had brain fog for most of my life, and I'm 44. Have lost many jobs due to almost complete inability, at times, to process information. I have been clinically depressed and exhausted for over half my life. I am on my 6th day gluten free, and yesterday, I...

    thanks for those suggestions.....I am seeing my GI next week and I'll talk to him more in depth then. My ferritin level is just under 3, I guess that's pretty low? Oh, the good news is, they were very understanding at work yesterday when I told them, and I'll be working in the office for a while - much less strenuous. I haven't gone gluten-free with...

    Hey! I am in Fresno, RIGHT in the center of the state. Can't remember how far Manteca is, seems to me it's about a two-hour drive? I don't spend much time in the Bay area, used to, but not too much now. Oh, I am a little daunted by the thought of travel now....just diagnosed four days ago, what would I eat???
  20. DingoGirl
    Trader Joe's saved my life! There are so many things to eat there, many things I was already eating. I got the bread....yes, it will take some getting used to. The Prairie Bread at Whole Foods is ridiculously expensive at $8.29 a loaf, but I do like it better (toasted with butter and jam!) so will splurge occasionally. This site has helped me so much...

    Hey, I am here in Clovis, just diagnosed last week, feeling lonely and like I've entered a bizarre universe!! Thankfully, Trader Joe's saved my life. This thread is from last summer, but if you guys check it again, let me know! We could meet for gluten-free coffee..... Susan

    I'm new here....just diagnosed last week. I am severely anemic and my doctor has presribed 325 mg. of iron twice a day. What I purchased last week has maltodextrin. Do any of you know of any iron supplements that contain amounts that high (the pharmacist said it would be ferrous sulfate, and that dose would provide 65 mg. of elemental iron) that do not...

    I am new to this site.....any celiacs in central California? Would love to hear from you. Also would like to know about restaurants.....can we EVER eat mexican food again???
  24. DingoGirl
    THANK YOU so much!! It is great to hear about specific cosmetic products.....AND I can still chew my gum. I am so encouraged to hear about your anemia and that it actually turned around. My hair has been falling out in handfuls for about a YEAR. I bought very expensive shampoo which seemed to stop it, but hopefully this diet will help as well. It makes...

    Thank you all for these words of comfort and advice. I am just continuing to read and study as much as I can. I know my ferritin level is 3, so I feel very weak, am taking iron supplements 2x day - hope that helps. I ate bacon today and yesterday, thinking that was okay, happened to look at ingredients - SOY SAUCE. Super! So I'm still eating gluten...
