  1. They used to taste okay, but now they have an odd smell. It's hard for me to tolerate them.
  2. I have had IC for many years. Put up with alot of pain, then learned about being a celiac. I was so mad, sad, just plain furious about having both problems and also having scar tissue that has adhered to my intestinal tract. It has taken a few years for me to get a grip and quit abusing my body in every possible way. so I do understand. A funny thing...
  3. That is a good question. I usually don't peel them. I cover two counties for my job and eat alot of meals in my car. Apples are quick and easy to grab, so I haven't peeled them. I could try it though. Good thought. Thanks.
  4. some apples, not all, cause alot of pain for me. Green, fuji, jonagold, braeburns, cause massive abdominal and bladder pain for me. These also cause me to have sores in my mouth.
  5. I do acknowledge that part of my depression and anxiety are from being a celiac. But I have realized that I cannot continue to live my life with the depression and anxiety always at my doorstep. All of that said, I have had alot happen in my life, not all positive, so I have decided that antidepressants are what I need for now. I have also sought counseling...
  6. Pamela's bread is pretty good. I make it my bread machine and it turns out really well. I use it mostly for grilled cheese, rueben sandwiches, french toast etc.
  7. I have eaten at Outback a few times. My experience is that anything besides a steak, potato, and a salad is considered extremely risky. I ordered another meal on the gluten free menu, Alice Springs Chicken, and went through the meal step by step. I spent the rest of the night and into the next day on my bathroom floor, with the D and vomiting. ,massive...

    ARCHIVED Where To Now?

    The important thing is now you have a diagnosis. If you are like the rest of us, it has taken years to get an answer to why you have been sick. This forum has been a life saver for me. There is lots of information here that can help you learn to care for yourself. There are lots of experienced people with good ideas and can offer support when you need...
  9. Poppy Cat, The most important thing is to start simple. It's not wise to start buying out the store with every product out there. Keep it simple. You should really eat things like veggies, fruits, meat, fish, etc. when you start eating gluten free. You can start adding new things a little at a time so that you can figure out what it is that you...
  10. what a great idea! Gotta try it!
  11. This is too funny! My son lives in Chicago. His apartment has a few fine critters. He and his room mates chased a rat around their apartment and finally caught it in in a cooler. They felt sorry for it and let it go. Well, when there is one, there is usually a lot more. I had the pleasure of meeting one of them at Thanksgiving. I'm glad he has to...
  12. I have alot of questions, so bear with me. Where do I get Stevia? How long has this been on the market? This is a weird one.......the sugar craving has increased since I sustained a head injury over the summer when I fell down the stairs. not sure if this is related or not. How does Stevia taste?
  13. Can you tell me more about candida overgrowth?
  14. Wow! I didn't even think of this. I really do almost shovel sugar into my mouth all day long. I don't think that I get enough calcium now that you mention it. Nor any vitamin supplements for that matter. I have a few questions: What gluten free supplements are out there? My car is my office, so I eat on the road alot. Any suggestions as to proteins...
  15. I'm wondering if anyone is having problems with sugar cravings. I have been eating massive amounts of sugar. It's almost like an obsession. Any thoughts or similar experiences? solutions?
  16. you are absolutely right. Good point.
  17. I stopped eating both about a year ago. I have been trying to reintroduce, but the rice causes ongoing D and bloating. I can eat it, but if I have more than two meals in a row with rice, I have problems and need to leave it alone again. Corn causes the same problem. It's hard to not eat both of these though. Thanks for all of your information JerseyAngel...
  18. I have tried to introduce rice and corn into my diet and my body just can't tolerate them. I do not have a violent reaction, as when I am reacting to gluten, but I am experiencing muscle pain, headache, joint pain. Do these foods have the same effect on the villi as gluten?
  19. I have read several threads that have said that these fries are gluten free. I ate a large order of fries a few months ago, and this was a huge mistake. I had a violent reaction. I vomited and had the d for several hours. I'll never make this mistake again.
  20. I have been having problems with rice and corn. Does this mean that eating both can cause the same damage to the intestine as gluten?
  21. I have had this problem for several years. The problem seems to have gotten worse as have gotten older. Is this the start of DH? I did not realize that vitE has wheat in it! Good information thanks. I have been using baby shampoo, but it seems to work well at first when my hair is freshly cut, but as it grows, the sores being again.
  22. To figure out what you are reacting to, you will need to eat fruits, veggies, meats. then add other things, one at a time. I found that I react to corn and rice. Keep track of what you introduce and you at some point will find out what is causing you to feel bad. Good luck to you.
  23. good and funny! My oldest son has said this phrase to me on multiple occasions!
  24. I certainly understand how you are feeling. I am praying for you to feel better. The Outback has been a disappointment to me, as I have been glutened twice and both meals were from the gluten-free menu. I explained very clearly to the waiter and it appeared that my instructions and the need to have the food exactly as it was ordered were understood. ...
  25. I am one of those people who read a post about McD's french fries and believed that they were gluten free. I ate a large order and had the exact same reaction as you had. I vomited and had the D for several hours. I was miserable. I had a similar experience at the Outback when I ordered from their gluten free menu. So after many bad experiences from...
