  1. Hmmmmmm.........good thing I brought my Crest down to NJ for that family reunion -- i got sick anyway -- imagine if i had used their sensodyne toothpaste
  2. Latest update: Yesterday, starting around when I woke up, I started to feel little twinges. It was the last day of camp (a day camp where I'm a CIT.....you get paid). Anyway, I've gone before with twinges and by noon felt fine again. So, I went. By 11:30 the pains started getting really bad. Now, the really little kids (3-4 years old) go home on...
  3. That's very interesting.......I'll have to try that once I can eat tomato sauce again.
  4. I, too, use whipped Philadelphia cream cheese -- since it's made by Kraft, I trust it more than other brands......sticking with Kraft, I use their cheese. I don't eat much salad, so I don't have any dressing suggestions.
  5. That's terrific.........I feel that way about the second floor of Fairways! Happy shopping!
  6. kvandorselaer hit the report button instead of the add reply button when adding to the thread. This is what was said:
  7. First off, your diet could be so low-gluten already that the tests messed it up. More likely, however, you're just one of those common celiacs who get negative blood results and postive biopsies.
  8. It's great that your story is getting out.......I've heard numerous cases on the boards about people's stories getting published in local newspapers. Congratulations. That is quite a story. This is how we're going to educate people about the disease.

  10. You don't.........now you could always ask to see the area where they cook it, or something, but this is all about trust. And properly explaining how careful they have to be and how important it is. Thank you, Alexoula.....
  11. I don't know, but would that have to do with sugar level and diabetes? I have no idea, but I've never heard of that having a connectoin with Celiac Disease.
  12. The doctor suggested that i might not be better because my digestive system is having trouble with certain sugars and acidic foods. Therefore, he told me to stay away from sugar and acid. I outlined the whole story under this post: Open Original Shared Link -celiac3270
  13. Congratulations!
  14. The restrictions aren't too bad, as long as it makes me feel better. Besides, I don't believe they are permanent, even. Once my intestines can absorb normally, I'll be able to go back to more acidic foods and high-sugar foods. YankeeDB -- I have been checked for food allergies. When the GI was trying to figure out what was wrong with me, he tested for...
  15. I've gone over six months without dramatic symptom improvement. I don't think symptoms are good at finding out if you have the disease or not.
  16. Very true, Jessica. I'll have to start my own: I'll have food by george and chebe......lol.......even though I can't eat that stuff anymore. Bring a pad and pen so you can report back with the great foods!
  17. But very true -- we're finding that more and more people have celiac disease. If 1/200 have special dietary needs, restaurants are bound to be more accomodating. After all, these chain restaurant names we're throwing around on the board are getting a lot of business from celiacs, just because they can tell you that the meat isn't contaminated and the vegetables...
  18. Mine says 48, too, and doesn't contain natural flavors. Tropicana OJ w/ calcium is gluten-free. Thanks again, Joanna.
  19. You're definitely more sensitive now that you're gluten-free. Additionally, some can get sick from simply inhaling gluten. Making the foods, perhaps you were inhaling something--like a flour or something.
  20. Good luck! We'll get this stuff under control....keep us posted. -celiac3270
  21. That's terrific! Can we look forward to this soon? I would think so. We've made such advances in awareness over the past years. Although this probably isn't a change that'll occur in the next year or two, I know I'll see the day when waiters and chefs immediately recognize celiac disease and know about the gluten-free diet.
  22. I might have said it the wrong way when I said that I just called it an allergy. When I'm dealing with people who need to know (like waiters at restaurants, family members, etc.), I give them the whole story. It's just with people who I really don't want to talk to about celiac disease that I call it an allergy.
