  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. Thanks for all the info! I called the restaruant, and they went over all the things I could eat there. I already have my own tamari sauce, so I'll just bring that. Hopefully I won't gag on the sushi =)
  3. I just found out that I'm going to be meeting a friend for dinner @ a sushi restaurant next week. She knows about my celiac and picked this restaurant because she thought that I could get something there. So, sushi's just fish, rice, and seaweed, so it should be okay right? I've never had sushi before, so I really don't know much about it (I actually...
  4. My cousin's 3 boys lived with me and my parents for a few months while she was in Iraq. While they were with us, I had the boys tested through enterolab, and all 3 of them tested positive for the celiac gene and two of them tested positive for gluten intollerance, soy allergy, dairy intollerance, and corn allergy. They all did so well on this diet that the...
  5. I hope Emmie's feeling better today! Gatorade helps me the best when I'm dehydrated.
  6. Me too! It's actually starting to worry me
  7. I wish I knew how to help with your dad. My dad's the same way. He has the same symptoms as I do, and he knows that since I have 2 copies of the celiac gene that one must have come from him (my mom was recently tested, and was negative). I think he knows deep down that he has it, but he doesn't want to admit it to himself. He is addicted to gluten. I have...
  8. Courtney, I've been gluten-free for about 10 months, and I still have brain fog. I am so spacy sometimes that it drives me crazy! I have only been this way for the past few years. But, I have an excuse for being an airhead... I'm blonde. Danielle
  9. I'm glad that Megan's doing well! I love the picture of them all dressed up; they are so cute!
  10. Red Robin is awesome! I work at one, and so I get to see exactly what goes on in the kitchen. They are very knowledgable about cc issues and will prepare everything using clean grills and deticated fryers (I made sure to educate them!). They will prepare your burger away from the buns, etc. I eat there all the time, and I always get the Vegetarian Red's...
  11. So I'm normal after all!! I guess I am greiving the loss of foods that I had eaten for 20+ years. You kind of grow attached to things after that long! I made a nice gluten-free cake this morning, and the boys and I have been pigging out on it all day! It was so good (yes, was; it's gone now!)! I agree that I should focus on what I can have as opposed...
  12. The classic white flour thing I hope you don't get sick.
  13. 1. How long have you known you’ve had Coeliac Disease and what is your age (age-optional)? I was diagnosed 9.5 months ago, but I've been sick since I was a young child. I'm 21 now 2. Is it hard to cope with this condition? At times. At first I had no problems, but I've recently hit a rough patch. 3. Do you understand what is wrong and what it’s...
  14. Wow, that's a lot of juice!! The boys are only allowed juice (watered down) on special occasions. Other than that, they only drink water and/or rice milk. I don't see the need to add juice to their diets, plus they eat plenty of fresh fruit, which I think is healthier. I know what you mean about seeing young kids drinking juice and soda from bottles...
  15. I'm so happy that Megan's doing better!
  16. When I was first diagnosed with Celiac back in Jan., I had no problem giving up gluten. In fact, I was excited to finally be doing something to help myself feel better. I never went through any kind of depression, gluten withdrawls, self pity or anything else. Why am I feeling that way now? Last week, I was almost in tears when my family decided to order...
  17. Two days ago, the boys and I were glutened on a flight back east. It was a really bad glutening too. The whole plane hated us! Plus the boys get really grouchy and have anger issues when they're glutened. That was the longest flight in my life...
  18. Agreed!
  19. I'm so glad that Megan's tasting food! That's a HUGE step for her!!! Go Meg! I hope you are all feeling better.
  20. I'm glad everything went well!
  21. I have one. Mine also lists allergies to medications, but I think I'd still wear one even if celiac was my only problem. Honestly, just by showing my Medical ID, I've been allowed to take food into places that have a "No Food" policy. It's really helped me. The boys wear ID bracelets too, and theirs just list food allergies (under celiac it says only feed...
  22. Their mom (my cousin) is doing well. Her injuries are not nearly as severe as the doctors first thought (she just has a punctured lung, broken leg bones, and minor internal bleeding which stopped right away). They are weaning her off of the vent, and she is awake and responsive. Her parents are with her now, and they said it does not appear like she has any...
  23. Court went great! My parents were given custody (which is what we wanted, since I'm really busy). Since I still live at home, I see them all the time and the boys don't know that anything is different. Their dad was ordered to fully reimburse me for all of the kids expenses, so I should get the $ soon. The best part is that his visitations...
  24. I read that too! hmmm...
  25. The boys had a drs appt today, and we got good news. Sean (2 years old) had gained 3 lbs, and now weighs 22 lbs and is 33 inches tall !!!! He now outweighs Matthew (who is 3). Matty still weigh's 19.5 lbs, but he has grown 1/5 of an inch. The doc said that's good news because it means he's getting more nutrients. Nicolas hasn't grown or gained...
