    I drink Smartwater or fruitwater by Glaceau. The magnesium helps with muscle cramps. Some migaraines can be brought on by tightening of the neck muscles and dehydration. I also use a mind trick. Remember what it feels like not to have a headache. Sounds strange, but try it. Laura

    Has anyone tried the Glutino pre-made duo cheese Pizza or the frozen rice mac -n- cheese? The buying co-op is starting to carry them and they offer new products at 20% off, so I really want to order them now. I just haven't found them in any store to try one before I buy an entire case. Laura

    I agree with the Kinninick tapiocca rice bread suggestion, but what ever bread you try, TOAST it. Glutino makes very good bagels, and Foods by George has a good english muffin (It is about three times the size of the english muffins I was used to). The recipe in Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet for French bread is awesome right out of the oven, but it...

    Yes, my son has constiption when he ingests gluten. He also gets a rash so I do know that gluten is the main problem. Keep trying to retrain his b.m. habits. Have him sit and try after meals. It also helps to tell him to use the same muscles for voiding urine. Laura

    I told her that I thought that I had just maxed out my ass , seriously, you need to be tested for polycystic ovary and you need to have a fasting insulin level done. That is some good advice because PCO is considered to be pre-diabetes. We all know that we have a higher chance of developing another auto immune disease.

    I'm anti-splenda. Your body can not digest it, therefore it has no calories. Do you think you should be putting something into your body that you can not digest? Splenda is Gluten free.
  8. mommida
    Yes. Check the next time you get glutened they come right back.

    Would it be possible for you to look into a local farm? We have been ordering from a local farm and it is so much easier having to make a trip to the freezer for a dinner choice. We have found it is cheaper too. Cheaper than buying it from chain grocery market. We have been lucky to have found organic farmers and since they are sharing the meat they don...

    Celiac can cause vomiting, especially in children. Celiac can also cause constipation, even though most complain of the "D". Laura

    I went through ten years of thyroid symptoms and "normal" test results before being diagnosed by an endocronologist. Most of the test should be ordered by your regular doctor, and the results should be taken to the endocronologist for diagnoses. For example, the test results for my thyroid uptake test would have been considered extremely overactive thyroid...

    I actually have hairline fractures in my feet. Laura

    WOW! Didn't look at this post because Mc D ff make me sick!! Any posters that have said that here have been BLASTED with the gluten-free list. So I think any supersensitve people have considered it cross contamination. We are not just Mc Freakin over french fries, we are trying to figure out what this oversight means for the bigger picture. We have...

    I do think you should consult an endocronologist. The diagnoses of of Hashimoto's, in my case took... blood work checking for T3, T4, ultra sensitive TSH, an ultrasound of the thyroid, and a thyroid function/uptake test. There is a reason why thyroid disease is in the top 10 misdiagnosed, your primary care doctor is only taking one test into consideration...

    Was it a special flavor of Fritos? Always read the labels. To pin point a reaction, is very difficult. The different variables of digestion can depend on how much liquid content, how much physical activity, the fat content of the food, and many other thing. No matter what, the most important thing is to listen to your body. If you get sick after you...

    A very interesting post. The glue on the roll would explain why your son (and any other Celiac child that age) would have a higher cross contamination from the rolls. Kids play with them constantly. We will only use wrapping paper rolls for all the cardboard fun from now on. Did you break down and buy the lightsaber yet? Laura

    Tiffjake has told you the same thing I would have. If you are going through with the testing you have to damage from gluten for any type of results. You past history has many symptoms of Celiac. The anemia, gall bladder problems, and GI distress are all symptoms of Celiac or a gluten intolerance. If your test results are negative, you can still try the...

    My treatment for Hashimoto's was just to go on the thyroid medication. Hashimoto's can make you thyroid levels go over active and underactive. The tests should find the tell tale characteristics of Hashimoto's, one of which is one side of the throid will be enlarged more than the other. There is a link between Celiac and auto immune thyroid diseases...

    You notice your significant other is giving you "the look" , you smile and inform him the parts he's eyeing are gluten free. Laura

    Is that the new slogan for our t-shirts? "Gluten free is beautifull"

    Cranbrook!!? You are really close to me. I'm about 6 minutes north from DTE/Pine Knob. Let me know if you need help. Laura

    ARCHIVED Hi

    mommida replied to justsc's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Welcome, I notice a reaction from 15 minutes to about 14 hours from eating. I notice at first my belly starts to bloat and then... well let's just say it is not pretty! I can feel tired for up to 3 days afterwards. Laura

    You might be reacting to the artificial sweetener. The Pepsi and Coke products are listed as gluten free. I did run accross an article that said test subjects did have elevated blood levels of gluten reaction after consuming COLA (gluten free). The article was somewhat vague in areas, or it isn't that much of an issue for me because I don't drink cola...

    My favorite cook book so far is The gluten-free Kitchen by Roben Ryberg. Check with your library they may have some of the Gluten-Free Gourmet books by Bette Hagman on hand. I am glad you have finally been diagnosed! I hope you find all the help you need here. Laura

    Yes. I definately noticed after diagnoses when I was feeling better and drinking smart water. A definate increase in drive when some of the vitamin defiencies were resolved.
