    ARCHIVED Im New!

    loco-ladi replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am recently gluten-free myself and have found that for me the best way to deal with my "before" food cravings is to search do the legwork, fingerwork whatever it takes to find the replacement.... Yes I have had chocolate chip cookies, brownies, pizza and am currently on the lookout for crackers, my dintymore beef stew just isn't the same without my crackers...

    Contrary to what hubby #1 thinks: Money can't buy you happiness ... since dumping hubby #1 and finding hubby #2 I have learned that money can buy you really cool toys!

    Mine is a name that recently came about in the last couple years but grew from my original name online... When I first went online and found this lovely little world I used ladistef... a combo of first initials of myself and hubby #1 and part of my last name way back then. I became attached to that name even after getting rid of hubby #1 I kept the...

    I also lost weight quickly after becoming totally gluten-free not long ago. My hubby is enjoying having a almost skinny wife back, when we met I was skinny but over the last 6 years had gained so much I didn't even recognise myself! I did find however it wasn't so much weight that I lost only a few pounds in actuallity but I lost many many inches which...

    24 hours or so later and NOTHING!!!!!!! I stopped by the restraunt on my way home after passing my "big bad test" today for work and talked to the owner personally, maybe my beatuful little chef dude will get a raise! And I have known for years my hubby is a keeper, thats why I let him catch me

    This is why when I find something I have not yet seen in here I post the entire email, letter or article I have, so that each of you have the same information that I do..... I will never edit anything I post into the forum with the exception of removing my personal information for obvious reasons using the {snip} I so love. I do not expect anyone to take...

    Well, I do not wear any socks with sandals no matter what color sock, type of sandals or even how cold it is, its just NOT done! as for the following posts: My baby brother said it was to keep it "locked" onto the head (he is 14 years younger so I assume he may know, lol) Well, I DID fail gym in high school because I DID refuse...

    I went out to eat tonight, to a local place where my hubby knows the "chef", he brought him out to the table and sat him down and we explained to him about my eating issues...... OMG that was the best meal I have had in ages! Rib eye steak, baked tater and salad, and now a couple hours later, still no signs of trouble! I figure one key was its a "off...

    First Welcome, here you will find great people who have gone through all this before you and have invaluble advice mixed right along with others at the same stage as you are, you will gain knowledge from their questions and they in turn gain from yours. Start slow and easy and I say that from my vast 2-1/4 months gluten-free expirience! It does and will...

    Puts on "dunce cap" Ummmm, people keep track of what they eat, should we do that seriously? Lets see, yesterday I ate 1 single serve can of carrots, 1/2 of a steak, 2 servings of pepperoni, 1 serving of cheese (cant eat pepperoni with out cheese ya know, but that reminds me to go cracker shopping), 4 mini reeses peanut butter cups, 2 apples, ...

    Stress makes everything worse! Or at least makes it feel bigger than it really is..... my grandmother always said "dont make a mountain out of a mole hill" which is exactly what stress does... amplify everything! I know its easier said than done but "try" not to stress over things, everything comes in time and you cant speed it up so work with it, you...

    One way to explain why you wont feel 100% right away is think of the gluten in your system as a toxic substance, it will take a bit to completely get rid of it, you will however notice one day down the road (different time frame for everyone) that WOW you feel great! This is when you will want to go out bowling again by the way, but don't just sit around...

    Dear {snip}: We received your request for information on Safeway private label products for those troubled with gluten-induced enteropathy or celiac-sprue. While we are somewhat familiar with the malabsorption syndrome, we do not presume to prescribe any of our products for any specific diet(s). On the other hand, we are happy to provide what information...

    I only gave her copies of the recipes, most are in my head passed on from my first hubby's grandmother to me (except for that coveted "melt in your mouth rolls" recipe I am not supossed to have ) I have tried a few of the pastas, I am however kind of disappointed in the types available that I have seen so far..... My baked Ziti wont taste the...

    NGG I hope your situation improves and I know that "OMG I am going to die" look... each year we get "temporary workers" here at the railroad, those that end up staying longer than others get that look when they find out about the tornado's... or in the wintertime, the "gee I need a winter coat" stupidity of wintertime is good also.

    Yeah what they said! My first husband developed a sore on his back that wouldn't heal, he kept asking me to look at it... it kept getting worse, 3 years later I "scared" him into going to see the DR, told him "OMG that looks very bad it could be cancer" unfortunately I was right, it was Malignant Melanoma (sp) deadly kind of skin cancer, he lived but was...

    Cindy you can be happy about your 30 pound gain, I am happy with my 2 pound loss, however that reduced me 3 pants sizes!!! I feel better (not perfect yet but getting closer) I have more energy and have actually eaten more in the last 2 months than I did for the 6 months prior!

    Congrats fellow Taurus!!! Just keep in mind we are a stubborn lot and you will get the hang of brownies very soon too!

    Had "one of those days" at work and came home to a house that was a disaster! so I think I will skip the toe remedy and head for my bottle of tylenol, may however try the "hammer remedy" on the hubby when he gets home from work.

    I have managed to stay off any medication for my prior depression, knowing most of it was directed at my Dr's inability to hear and read. I am glad to know you are lowering your dose and are finding alternative means to combat those "blue times" and I highly recommend walks outdoors, the last 2 days here wasn't such a good idea however as we reached the...

    I did use canola oil for my homemade chips, as recommended by the living gluten free for dummies book (thats where I got the recipe for them) The "frito's" says it uses corn oil the Taco shells used "hydrogenated soybean oil" I do realize corn is also a key ingredient in all three however I eat alot of corn, next to peas it would be my favorite veggie...

    I also have back pain, always had an excuse for it, most recently was the loco's seats, most generally are not in the best of shape and like all company owned viecles are not top quaility by any means... I am not sure if its my imagination or if its decreasing in severity in the last couple months, but I had been cutting down on my gluten intake for the...

    As with everything else it depends on your body, how long you've lived with it not knowing and how much damage it has done.... Myself, I am not an official diagnosis, the doctor wouldn't run any tests for it and since it runs in my family and I had the correct symptoms, heck it wont kill me so why not try it see if it helps, well it did help even just...

Second, you are in a great forum with lots of helpful and supportive members, dont...
