    Thank you both for your responses. My heart rate got up to 136 per minute, and yes, it was very scary. I had pneumonia at the time, so I had attributed it to that. But after further research by the Doctor, it was AFIB. The cardiologist has called and has moved my appointment up to tomorrow. Plus ... I have found out that it can be caused by an untreated...

    Hi all, it has been a while since I have been on this board. Been gluten-free for about 10 years now. Was diagnosed this past Tuesday with AFIB because of rapidly increased pulse rate. 3 known triggers for that disease are: high blood pressure; high cholesterol; and smoker. I have none of those. My question is this: Have any of you experienced/heard...

    Thanks guys for all your suggestions. For the last week and 1/2, I have been eating very plain/blan foods. (ex. creamed potatoes, soup) Before that, I was eating a Yoplait yogurt for breakfast and a Vans gluten-free waffle, a sandwich with UDI's bread with Hillshire farm gluten-free meat, and usually homemade spaghetti or vegetables at dinner. I have been...

    Not sure if this will help, but I can sometimes tell a difference when I have too much sugar. I am a southern girl, which means sweet tea, so I call definitely tell a difference when I have too much tea and sweets. I try to stay away from it, but it is hard to resist. Hope that helps!

    I was diagnosed with Celiac apx. 7 - 8 years ago and have had on and off periods of problems with it. However, never this bad. I started getting sick last weekend with the classic symptoms of Celiac. It has gotten gradually worse, and I had to leave work 1/2 day Tuesday and haven't been back this week. I am so sick now that I can't even hold water on...

    Yeah, I had an Endoscopy when they diagnosed me and it wasn't bad at all. They knocked me out and I never knew when it was over. Good luck. I hope you get better; I am not feeling so well myself. :-(

    ARCHIVED Jason's Deli

    BamaGal replied to notme's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I have to agree on Jason's Deli. We have one here in Montgomery, AL and I eat there at least once a week now so I can get my gluten-free sandwich. They take great care wtih it also! According to the girl working the register, they have had a good response to the gluten-free sandwiches, so I hope that means they will be keeping them!

    I found it at the Publix in Prattville, AL. It was $4.50 + a box, but was well worth it. I made pancakes with it and they tasted just like the ones made with "real" bisquick. Also made a cobbler with the crust that rises from the bottom and it was awesome! I bought it a few weeks ago and already need to get another box. I highly recommend it and don...

    Thanks for the link to the picture of the box. I can't wait to try it. It would be so nice to be able to have a "regular" snack sometime! Plus, I don't think that $2.68 is that bad compared to the price of some gluten free stuff. jmho though.

    Does the package say gluten free right on the box? I have looked for these several times and haven't been able to find them. Please give me a description of the box. I would also like to be able to have a quick snack at times!

    So sorry to hear of your husband being sick. I suffered for many years before finally being diagnosed with celiac. My Doctor in Montgomery was very disappointing, to say the least. He pretty much just patted me on the back and sent me on my way. Anyway, I went to Birmingham to see Dr. Shallcross apx 6 years after original diagnosis. He goes to several...

    Which part of the store is it in? I hope my local Wal-Mart has a gluten free section!

    Hello again! I haven't been on the board in a while, so I just saw your message. Hope you had a good Christmas too. And yes, I am an Auburn fan also, but I am pulling for Alabama in the National Championship game! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!! Happy New Year from a Montgomery area Celiac!!!!!!

    ARCHIVED Anemia

    BamaGal replied to Wolicki's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hello, Just wanted to say hello and ask a question about neuropathy. I was diagnosed with Celiac apx. 6 years ago and have been doing fairly well on the diet. Still having some problems but the diet has really helped me a lot. In the last 5 months, I have been having excruciating right leg pain. My leg goes from feeling fine (a little heavy but...

    Hello Alabama folks. Just wanted to say hi. As far as the Mobile area, I don't know much about that area down there unless it is the chain restaurants. I live in Prattville, which is a suburb of Montgomery. And, for Sredrobin, I went to see a Gastroenterologist in Birmingham a couple weeks ago that specializes in Celiac. I really liked him a lot, and...
