  1. I have been gluten free since August, I have been doing good at it I think. I have not been sick yet so I must be doing something right, right?? I used to have a huge bloated belly all the time, looked like I was pregnant, and I was always constipated...that was my problem, hardly ever D but always constipated. Now, I have lost my bloated belly (now its...
  2. I buy mine from Save on Foods. but I live in BC so I am not sure if they hav them in the states.
  3. Thanks.
  4. I was just DX with Celiac in August, but knew I might have it a year in Jan 06 but was pregnant so my Doc told me to stay on my gluten diet and I did with no problems. I did not get sick to often maybe a couple times a year I would have a bad "episode" and it would last for a week or two and be gone and BC I didnt know I was Celiac I went back to eating...
  5. My daughter is 3 1/2 and potty trained for about a year but she still wears a pull up to bed and the last couple of months she has been peeing in her pants ,all the time. She and her 12 month old brother have had bloodtests a week and a half ago so we are waitng for the resuls. She is the one that I a more concerned about.
  6. I am not sure that I can give you any advice as I am going through the same thing myself. I was DX in August and both my children were showing signs s owe took them to a ped. allergen and he wanted to get them tested, so we have since done that (last week) and now waiting for the results. My daughter is 3 1/2 years (she is the one I am most worried about...
  7. I am 45 mins. from Vancouver...there is alot there. I have found flours but only is small bags. Thanks for the flour mixtures, I wrote them in my notebook.
  8. I live in BC and I eat startbust all the time and there is no gluten in those!!!
  9. The doctors told me that I needed to be off Dairy for 3 months until I healed a bit. I have found it harder to be off of Dairy then gluten itself. But I have recently had a spoonful here and there of ice cream and never had a problem so I dont think that I will have to be dairy free for longer then the 3 months. I drink DairyLand Lactose Free milk and...
  10. Thanks for your responses. I have tried Nystatin and 3 other prescriptions and none of them worked, the rash is not typical diaper rash, it is definately ecxema but nothing clears it up. He had a diaper rash right now and I am using hyrodcortizone and another cream and that rash is getting better but not the other one. I am definately going to have...
  11. Thanks. Iwill ask for the Emla cream and the butterfly.
  12. I use Dairy Land Lactose Free milk. Doesnt seem to bother me. But I am only off Dairy temp. for three months and the I can have it back. I have not been sick yet, but I dont drink it. I just use it in baking and cooking. I am super picky with milk and if I cant drink my 1% then I wont drink any at all.
  13. His book was the one I really wanted to buy, I feel so much more knowledged after reading it.
  14. Iwas referred to a specialist for both my kids and now they have to both have bloodtests and I know that this is going to be super trumatic, especially on my 3.5 year old. We live in a small town and the Lab up here I swear is run by monkeys so I am going to go into the city to a better hospital to have the bloodwork done, probably Childrens Hospital (I live...
  15. I wanted to let you know that I just finished reading Celiac Disease: A hidden Epidmic by Peter H.r. Green and Gluten Free Living For Dummies by Danna Korn and I totally recommend them. Especially the first book. I think that even without having this I would change my diet to gluten-free. I have been gluten-free for a month today and I cant tell you how...
  16. I use Fleischmann's also and have not had any problems with it, I am only gluten and Dairt free though, but I am able to have dairy in a few months. I find this brand to be pretty good though. Sorry I was not too much help.
  17. I talked to my Specialists receptionist today, she asked him about the dairy and he said 3 months. I have been drinking the Dairyland Lactose Free Milk and Icant tell the difference between that and my 1% milk..I had cereal today and it was great. OKAY...whats this about dairy free chocolate and whats the name.....I am craving chocolate like CRAZY and...
  18. Sorry I am a bit of topic but does circles under the eyes yet another symptom of Celiac in children?? And also at DQ their ice cream is safe?? What would you order?? Thanks.
  19. My daughter is 3 /12 and she is exactly the same...super skinny and is always asking for food. She doesnt have regular BM either. She is irratable and sometimes looks a bit sickly but she is fine otherwise. I asked my doctor about it and he doesnt seem concerned about her weight, she is 34.4 lbs and in the 50th% for her weight. Since I just got DX I am...
  20. I am 2 weeks into this new diet and I have to admit that it is not really that hard, I thougth that here is my chance to get away from the junk food and get healthy, however I have found the gluten free jusnk foods and I am eating those...yes there are alot of things that you can still eat. I am a super picky eater, I thought what the heck am I going to...
  21. Actually I have noticed that my scalp itches, I thought maybe it was dry skin, I am almost done these bottles and I have bought Dove as I read it was gluten free. I do think that I tend to not worry all the time about things, but they could be harmful to me and I dont even know it...just like makeup...I dont know what to use so I dont wear any, I need to...
  22. I saw my regular GP today and he said that I could reintroduce very small amount of Dairy with 4 weeks of going off it, I mean like a small amount in my tea,scrambled eggs and mashed potatos. I had a small amount in my mashed potatos last night and it didnt seem to bother me any. I jsut hate that Lacctais stuff, I actually bought some Dairyland Lactose...
  23. I still use my same shampoo and conditioner that I always used...as long as you are careful not getting any into your mouth. My specialist wasnt to concerned about those as it is not ingested. I live with gluten eaters and I just make sure that I clean the space where I am going to prepare foods before I do. I wouldnt worry so much about the grocery carts...
  24. I talked to someone who has Celiac and has had it for a long time and she wears the same makeup she always did and doesnt ever have a problem, she said as long as it is not ingested...which Mascara and eye liner wouldnt be. So do you all still wear regular makeup?? B/C I cannot find makeup anywhere and I need it!!!
  25. Two of my favorite meals are Shepards Pie and Chicken soup, both require a broth mix to make them for taste. In Shepards Pie I always used OxO cubes, but now I need a product that will give it a beefy flavour and the Chicken Soup needs something for flavour also. Have not found anythig as of yet that is gluten-free...can anyone suggest something. Thanks...
