  1. Ooooh...that's great! Thanks for sharing!
  2. Yeah.....I told relatives before going to their house for a "family reunion". They had Classico tomato sauce, Kraft singles cheese, Heinz ketchup, mustard, gluten-free hotdogs, kinnickinick bread, gluten-free pasta, and other things I have forgotten to mention. They also had a cheap pot, spatula, sautee pan, and flipper thingy. If I had gone there and...
  3. Hmmm.....I'll talk to the doctor about enzymes. I am very pleased with how seriously he's taken this--not just saying "keep doing what you're doing and we'll see in a month." The fact that you're free after seven months makes me feel good, Judy---maybe there is hope that by my eighth month, or so, I'll be at least on the road to recovery--I guess it's...
  4. Yikes...forgot to mention that genisoy bars are only gluten-free if it's the PB chunky southern style and another pb kind with honey.
  5. It's been 5 days.........seems like everyone else is confused, too....lol
  6. Envirokids has a frosted flakes type thing that's gluten-free......cereal is good, I guess, cause it doesn't require refridgeration................................. How 'bout genisoy bars? They don't need refridgeration and they're a good source of a lot of vitamins/minerals/protein. PB was a great suggestion -- never would have thought of that. Of...
  7. Ooooh.....sounds great.....a lot of celiacs from Georgia on the board......too bad it's so far from me.
  8. Alexolua: That's interesting (aspartame)....I thought that there was something bad about aspartame and artificial sweeteners that was bad......actually, I think I was thinking of cancers or something with large quantities of it. Thanks for the heads-up; I won't be drinking that. Karen: Thank you for sending that...I just checked your e-mails and I got...
  9. I sometimes use the medically incorrect "allergy" term when i don't want to get into something long. I find that when you start throwing around genetic disorder and intolerance, it gets complicated.........depends who you're dealing with
  10. I have Adobe--I got to the main site, but then I couldn't open the food list....it said something about the file not containing "&pdf" or something.......I have opened this list in the past--dunno what's with that....
  11. Right now, I think, the doctor finds symptoms the most important thing. Besides, if I'm not vomiting up my food, it's easier to gain weight. Digestive enzymes....we've talked about that---we're just gonna see what happens with the sugar. I don't know how much he explained -- I didn't have an appointment, but he talked to my mom on the phone. She...
  12. I'm sure nearly everyone here has heard me complain about symptoms many times before: Had symptoms including abdominal pains, vomiting, nausea, bloating, gas, loose stools, low weight, very loud stomach noises (gurgling and rumbling), etc. since first grade--I'm now going into eighth grade. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago with celiac disease. The...
  13. Thanks for the info.....that's what I thought, Gretchen, but I hadn't read anything about it, so I didn't know for sure. Jill, nobody in my family has had a biopsy. My dad tested negative in the bloodwork, which makes a lot of sense. Neither he, nor anyone else on his side of the family show any signs of celiac disease. My grandma has bloodwork done-...
  14. If you think your daughter has it, definitely test her. Since you have symptoms, you should be tested, too. If it turns out your daughter has celiac disease, then everyone in her family should be tested, regardless of symptoms (brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents, parents)....it's likely that if she has it, someone else in her family will have...
  15. Say what? I'm not, but a LOT of people, particularly under the "17 with celiac" thread, are seventeen.
  16. I, too, think it's a matter of opinion. In the beginning I told anyone who questioned my food or whatever. Now, I like to do as little explaining as possible. If someone offers me something (like a cookie), rather than going into a full-scale lesson on gluten intolerance I prefer to just say "no, thanks". I only like to explain the whole thing to people...
  17. Here are some recent posts you made: Open Original Shared Link -- breastfeeding Open Original Shared Link -- lactose intolerance vs. Celiac symptoms Open Original Shared Link -- think husband has celiac disease; this topic was already pinned, but not sure if you saw it. One of these should be the post you're looking for.
  18. Kathy, when you post something, it won't show up on the first page of whatever forum you posted it in. Rather, it will move all the way to the back. When a moderator reads it and pins it, it'll come to the front. Additionally, a moderator can move your topic and pin it under a different forum.
  19. By the way, Glen4Cindy, this means that Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew Code Red are gluten-free....
  20. Yay! I checked with Pepsi on the internet; they have some feature called "ask lisa".....it's like a search engine. I typed in "gluten free" and one of the results: are pepsi products gluten free? They say that ALL Pepsi products are gluten-free and none contain gluten! That encompasses everything such as their other soft drinks and non-carbonated beverages...
  21. My opinion is that unless it's some medical book that contains celiac disease, it's not going to tell you much that you don't already know. There are a fair number of books, but they all seem to be quite similar: forbidden ingredient lists, how to deal with it, no cheating, what's the disease, etc. You already know that stuff.....celiac disease books are...
  22. I have celiac disease. Nobody else in my family does according to tests, although my mom, grandmother, and brother all have problems that would make you think they had it. Grandmother -- EXTREMELY SEVERE osteoporosis Mother -- Bloating, distended stomach after eating gluten Brother -- Low weight (exact size/weight I was at his age...very thin). The...
  23. Wow......many, many, 17 year-olds.........see, stargirl? I told you there were a lot!
  24. Seems like a lot of 17-year-olds on the board
