ARCHIVED Brand New - Could Really Use Some Insight
loco-ladi replied to mmcdaniels's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have eaten at arby's but always go at an off time to get the "personal" service and I order a salad WITHOUT the meat As for "just take the meat out of the sandwich"...... honey you will still have bread crumbs allllllllll over it so don't even think about it... order it breadless instead. -
ARCHIVED M&m's
loco-ladi replied to loco-ladi's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Have no idea why they bothered me 2 days in a row.... they were the regular old plain kind.... and I opened the fresh bag on day 1 and was the first to grab a handful so I cant blame this one on my hubby sticking his contaminated hands into my treat.... but regardless he inherited the remaining of the bag -
Ok, someplace I read M&M's were ok........ and to treat myself I bought me a bag, yeah I read the ingredients and have since re-read it as well and see nothing to get nervous about... yesterday I had maybe 1/4 cup and last night had major upset tummy which I figured was from CC when cleaning out the hubby's gluten items in the freezer... today I...

ARCHIVED Decrease In Hunger
loco-ladi replied to Kathy'sUnicorns's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I did have a sharp decrease in appetite after going gluten-free.... I also lost many inches, I still pretty much weight the same as before but I think I lost almost all my fat... Actually dropped 3 waist sizes!!! -
Ok, this is so off topic but WOW I love hearing those names of towns again and I can just hear the accent too!!!

ARCHIVED Frustrated And Still Not Feeling Well!
loco-ladi replied to suzimarie06's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am going to place my "vote" with find a new job and limit dairy (at least for a little while) but placing the new job ahead of everything else, I also would try to stay out of the "food market" when finding a new job, many restraunts are going to give you the same levels of possible CC you have now. -

ARCHIVED Eating What Other People Cook
loco-ladi replied to woolwhippet's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My cousin who gave me my "list" in the begining of my ordeal was actually diagnosed due to my diligence of research after getting her "list" My mother who lives next door to her and my gram's came to visit, she asked where my hot dog rolls were....... after getting over my shocked look inquired why she thought I would have any since I can't have wheat... -

I want to say a special thx to our wonderful moderators who keep the nasty spam off our forum...

ARCHIVED Questions For Experienced Celiac Veterans
loco-ladi replied to Joe Hoffman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Well, I am not so much a "veteran" but here goes anyways..... I am just under 1 year 100% gluten-free (not including a couple accidentals every so often) I found if the food I was eating was high in "oil" I would get simular symptoms as if I were glutened As for the "sprinkles" almost any I looked at this year had the words "natural flavorings" thats... -
ARCHIVED School Fundraising Cookies
loco-ladi replied to Lisa's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
wrong lid.... yet one more reason I am so very glad I moved into "the country" no kids or parents coming to sell me anything! -
Since you obviously have at least 1 gluten eater in your house it may sound funny but a note to yourself on "their cupboard" saying something like "if you eat it you will be sorry!" or " do you have time to be sick for the next week or do you have plans" and my personal favorite "a moment on the lips... a week in the john" may help you to take a moment and...

ARCHIVED Genetic Markers Question - Need Help!
loco-ladi replied to ljturner's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
keep in mind I am no expert by anyones standards and most of what I learned came from this very forum..... as for the blood test you can get false negatives, so you may want to concider retesting... as for the DNA marker, you at least are a "possible" at the very least You do however have multiple symptoms which may or may not be celiac related ... -
ARCHIVED Newbie Needing Help :)
loco-ladi replied to slee's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Most of what I was going to say has already been said, so rather than repeat it I will just add a "yeah what they said" one thing I will add as I didnt see it above is that testing in young children is very common to show a "false negative" -

ARCHIVED Exciting Christmas Gift
loco-ladi replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am so happy not only for you and your parents but for Sierra, she is quite a luccky little girl. I think your parents are wonderful people for doing foster care.... most people aren't capable of taking in a small child caring for it, loving it then being able to let go when its time for the child to go back to their parents. I think thats the hardest... -
ARCHIVED How Do I Deal With The Feelings?
loco-ladi replied to nutralady2001's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I dont blame the doctors back then as much as I do the newer ones....... assume you are a student of medicine in the late 1940's, you hear a 5 minutes blip about celiac and its REALLY rare you most likely will never see a case in your life....... 1950's they hear the same thing.... 1960's ......... yup same thing 1970's ... begining to sound like... -
ARCHIVED Flattened Villi Visible, Still No Diagnosis
loco-ladi replied to mrskchart's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Lets assume you go gluten-free (gluten free) things improve, I would also however suggest going dairy free or VERY dairy light for at least 6 months then add it back very slowly as some have issues with dairy at first but some can add it back AFTER they heal...... Is the diet results alone going to be enough to keep you on the diet or will you need medical... -
ARCHIVED So I Glutened Myself...
loco-ladi replied to An-Onion's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
um..... been there done that, lol Think most of us have I think. It takes practice and a stubborness not to mention willpower. My willpower came the day I called my neighbor over to the house and told her to "bring boxes" she inherited ALL my gluten foods, my flours, canned soups, pastas....... bet they ate for months on my pasta alone, even had...
