ARCHIVED Does Anyone Else Get These Symptoms
j9n replied to Almedingen's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I, too, was terrified of the endoscopy. It really freaked me out. I told the nurses and doctors I was frightened and they gave me more sedative. During the procedure I could not have cared less and actually don't remember much of it. Just tell your doctor your fears before hand. I did take a 6 hour nap afterwards though. Are the red spots on your legs... -
ARCHIVED Prego Garlic And Herb
j9n replied to j9n's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I emailed the company so I guess I will wait for a response. I usually use Newmans Own Marinara but I was in a hurry, not a smart thing because I have been ill now for 4 days. The list I have says only the traditional is gluten-free for Prego. I am really bummed though about missing the trip, my husband made reservations for a very nice hotel next to an... -
ARCHIVED Prego Garlic And Herb
j9n posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I made a pizza using Prego garlic and herb sauce and also had some on pasta. First came the dizzy spells and now the diarrhea. I was supposed to go on an overnighter with my husband (Angel game) but I am too sick to go, he went by himself. . I thought it was the water pills but I checked with the pharmacy and it was corn starch in the ingredients although... -

ARCHIVED Anxiety, Stress, And Ultra Sensitivity
j9n replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had to fight with my doctor and insurance company to get me an appointment with a dietian. I had to wait 2 weeks for the appointment. That day I forgot all about it. I called crying, I could not believe I missed the one appointment I though I might finally get some help. She was nice and forgiving and rescheduled it for me. oh, and I have never been... -
ARCHIVED Cold Lunches At Shcool
j9n replied to joemoe003's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I just bought the Kinnikinick white sandwich bread over the internet and today had my first sandwich in along time! I toasted the bread first and kept the other ingredients in baggies then made it when I wanted to eat it so it would not be soggy. I also had some potato chips and precut carrots and celery sticks. Also my favorite is Thai soup bowls. I... -
Got sick today so I bought some Imodium Advanced instead of the usual Imodium AD by accident. the ingredients mention "sodium starch glycolate". From what I can tell it is mostly derived from potato but CAN be wheat. Does anyone know for sure?

ARCHIVED How Heavy Duty Does The Mixer Need To Be?
j9n replied to brdbntL's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have a Kitchenaide with the pasta attachments but I used to always make my own pasta (wheat) so I am afraid to use it since it is contaminated. Does anyone know the best way to clean it? -
I think I may know what is causing it. I took a prescription water pill that is generic and one of the ingredients is starch but I have to check with the pharmacy to see if they know what kind. I am also starting hormone therapy.

I just came back from my gyno as I was having hot flashes, etc thinking I was getting close to "THE change". She put me on "continuous hormone therapy". I use a Nuvaring (a hormone ring you insert and leave for 3 weeks). After three weeks I use another and again the next 3 weeks. Then I remove for a week and use an estrogen patch until I use another ring...

I would talk to your doctor about this symptom. Excessive thirst is a symptom of diabetes. Have you had your blood sugar levels checked?
-
I, too, woke up with vertigo this morning. I am standing and I feel like I am going to fall over. The hardest part is to not nod when talking to someone! I was thinking it may be because it is "that time" and maybe I am low on something like iron? I am going to see my gyno tomorrow, right now she is the only doctor I trust, and see what she thinks.

ARCHIVED Dog Food
j9n replied to traci's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Actually wheat, corn and soy are common allergens for dogs. There is quite alot of people who feed a BARF (bones and raw food) to their dogs. All natural raw meat and veggies and rice. I have two boxers who have bad allergies! -
What types of foods are you having trouble with? I find we can eat alot of the foods we ate before with slight modifications. I love to cook and so maybe I can help you with some new recipes? I go to costco and buy alot of staples in bulk so I don't have to shop so often. I am sure there are others who have good food suggestions too.

I wonder about Carls jr low carb $6 burger. It is so good, the best fast food burger I have had yet. I haven't gotten sick from it yet so I am hoping it is ok. I love the way they wrap it in lettuce and you get to eat it like a burger! (not like the others where they give you a fork and knife)

ARCHIVED What To Avoid Early On In The Gf Diet
j9n replied to lilliexx's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My dietitian told me to stay away from dairy for a minimum of one month. Because we have done so much damage to our intestines they are unable to process lactose until they heal. I know how hard that is since I am a cheese freak!!! I did have a grilled cheese sandwich and my symptoms returned (not too bad though). I am still not ready for dairy, sigh... -
ARCHIVED Aciphex? Is This Common Medication For Celiacs?
j9n replied to azphil's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My doctor has me taking Prilosec. I, too, never had heartburn but he said my esophogus was pretty bad -
I had severe vertigo before I went gluten-free. I still have some small spells every once in awhile. I wonder if it is from accidental gluten ingestion?
-
I get shaky too if I haven't eaten. I do know I am VERY sugar sensitive. I can't have too much or not enough.

ARCHIVED Nutrient Dense Foods
j9n replied to j9n's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think I will try the nut mixture too. Do you use raw nuts? Fresh fruit smoothie sounds good too. I have some flax seed meal that I was experimenting with in breads and some honey and raw almonds. All I need is some smaller nuts and coconut flakes. Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, I love avocados too. And salmon and fresh tuna (I hate canned) Oh,... -
ARCHIVED Nutrient Dense Foods
j9n posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am not sure where to post this so I am posting here. I am having alot of trouble with vitamins making me ill (they say gluten free but.....) and am still dairy free. I feel as though I am not getting enough nutrients (spinach cravings again). What foods (natural) can I eat that have the most vitamins without all the "side effects". Green leafy veggies... -
Good luck Karen. I am glad that you are getting some positive feedback. I have been on that diet before too. I think I ate alot of rice, chicken, and sweet potatoes. Its all worth it if it makes you feel better. I hope you feel better soon!

ARCHIVED I Wonder About This Pain?
j9n replied to mysterypain's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I get this pain too. When I had my endoscopy they found a hiatal hernia and ulcers on my esophogus from reflux which is causing my pain. I also get some pain when swallowing at times, like the food is getting stuck (which it is). -
ARCHIVED Gf Frozen Pizzas
j9n replied to hjkmatthews's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love Amy's pizza. The first time I had it I ate the whole thing. I added a little of grated parmesean and romano. The health food store ran out and they promised me they would order some today and hold 2 for me. Yeah! Now when my family wants pizza I can have some too. Oh, the little things. -
Good luck Karen! My prayers and good thoughts are with you too!!
