    I know I made one up myself when a friend said she was going to try her daughter on gluten-free and see how it affected her. She was worried about how to start and had asked me a ton of questions, so I went through my pantry and grabbed the basics that I use on a regular basis (that were unopened, of course). I included both rice and corn spaghetti and rotini...

    ARCHIVED Cruises

    natalunia replied to Turtle's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Alicegray27, if you have been cruising with Princess you will not like Carnival. My hubby used to work for Carnival Corporation and the caliber of cruisers on Carnival are not like that of Princess. Granted they are both owned by Carnival Corp, but they are two different animals. I don't know if you are aware of the cruisecritic website, but you can do a...

    ARCHIVED Cruises

    natalunia replied to Turtle's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    I just got back from a 10 day Baltic Sea cruise on Oceania Insignia (small ship: 684 passengers). Oceania had me listed as gluten free in their computer months ahead of time, after I notified them. While onboard the waiters were great about helping me choose gluten free items, and even checked with the chef if they were uncertain. There was always atleast...

    It sounds like plantar fascitis. Plantar Fascitis Plantar fascitis is an irritation and inflammation at the bottom of your foot. The plantar fascia is a tight band of elastic tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. They say exercise, arch supports, and taping the arch of your foot properly (when needed), can help. My husband had this and was really...

    My reactions have shown up anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours later. I have no idea on if the amount of gluten affects how severe or how soon the reaction shows up. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

    As long as I haven't gotten sick from a neighbors gluten free cooking before and the neighbor really understands cross contamination issues and what we can and can not eat, I would feel safe eating it. Since you have made things in the past and they have had no problems, the casserole should not be a problem.

    There is a yahoo group that is specifically for doing Weight Watchers while gluten free. They are an active group and you should get some good info. I am a member, but not doing WW right now. Here's the link to that yahoo gluten-free WW board: Open Original Shared Link I hope that helps!

    I ate lunch at Red Lobster with my DH and 2 other friends yesterday, and DH jokingly offered me a cheddar biscuit. I just looked at him like he was nuts (he knows and respects that I eat gluten free, he just is a big joker- the best at April Fools jokes. When he did that, one of our friends (not realizing he was joking) said, "That was soooo rude. Even I...

    I've had awful ones since I was a teenager. I always thought I was getting them from eating something too acidic. Now I know better. I got glutened last week and broke out in mouth ulcers within 12 hours.

    Here are my 2 faves. I've been eating these recipes since I was 2 or 3 years old. Cucumbers in Mayo 1 large cucumber + Mayonaisse (whatever type you want, just not Miracle Whip- that's not mayo), cover the cucumbers and stir + celery salt to taste, cover and refrigerate any uneaten servings. Fried Eggplant 1 large eggplant, thinly sliced, but not...

    Get your own toaster. I bought me a cheap basic one at Target for under $9. My mom has DH, and I had not had it until I was gluten free and got glutened somehow. I got glutened on Thursday and now I have a mouth full of ulcers, so you can see all kind of different things pop up that you may have not noticed before.

    Mexican food has been safe for me, but we only eat at one Mexican restaurant, and we happen to be friends with the owner, so I guess that doesn't count....

    I had all the symptoms except constipation. Diarrhea was my main complaint. I had it about once a week or more for over 8 months. I thought I had giardia at first (DD came home from orphanage in Russia with it). My bloodwork was negative, but I had been avoiding anything made with wheat for 6-7 months prior to diagnosis (It was 2-3 months after I started...

    I use the new Suave Healthy Curls Shampoo & Conditioner. It smells awesome and makes my hair feel great.

    I don't know, but I know my hubby (43) had his testosterone checked about 2 weeks ago and it was 249, when 240-1150 is the range. Our general practitioner sent him to a urologist (why? this is an endocrine problem), and the urologist has sent him to an endocrinologist. I have been having him eat gluten free at home alot, but I know he eats burgers and goodies...

    I am A+, and I know my dad is O+, and I can't remember my mom's.

    I wouldn't eat anything with gluten in that case, unless you put a big bowl of mac & cheese from Luby's in front of me. I'd cave in that case. I really miss their mac & cheese...

    My hubby is allergic to a lot of metals, so we each have Stainless Steel Wedding Bands. There are two main brands who sell really nice stainless steel jewelry (most is modern looking, though): TENO and B. Tiff are the two brands. My original wedding band is a (TENO) 7 mm stainless band with a small diamond set in it, but my fingers grew a half size when I...

    Okay guys, I think my mom glutened me with Beef Bouillon yesterday. Once I was home (sick) she read me the ingredients and I didn't hear anything suspicious really, but I still think it was that since I got sick (major D) within 30-40 minutes after eating pot roast that she had seasoned with beef bouillon. She bought the beef bouillon sometime last fall,...

    I hadn't thought about it, but yeah, mine have gone away completely too! Nat

    I couldn't care less about the Trix or Fruity Pebbles (even though I'm glad there are some mainstream cereals I can eat).... I miss my Cinnamon Life! I loved that stuff. I salivate looking at a box of it or thinking about it. It's torture. Nat

    Sometimes Giardia can be very resistant. My daughter (adopted from Russia) had it when we brought her home and the doctors at Texas Children's used Alinia on her. Alinia is newer than Flagyl and is much stronger. It usually kills the Giardia in one course. I would get tested for Giardia again. It tends to go in cycles, so you may test negative sometimes...

    I use Bare Minerals foundations, Mary Kay eyeshadows, lipsticks and mascara. Oh, and I use Mary Kay Timewise Cleansing Bar.

    I had D atleast once every other week, often every other day. I finally figured out what was causing the problems when I went on the South Beach Diet and during the 2 week induction phase I had no D. I went off of the South Beach Diet and started paying attention to what I was eating and linked my D with pasta, cake, bread. My GI symptoms were sporadic if...
