  1. Monday -- Surgery Day -- The doctor told me I was very lucky to have gone 14 years without a serious problem. Any one of the hundreds of times I've been sick, my intestines could have coiled around a vein cutting off the blood supply and essentially killing an organ. I had to sit around in the waiting room all day until about 4:00 in the afternoon (since...
  2. I agree with Kristina (mysuicidalturtle)-- Also, you could wear something that would trigger a question, giving you the right, I suppose, to mention celiac. Such as the Making Tracks for Celiacs Bracelet or a pin--just a thought--don't know what the laws restrict.
  3. Any candy can contain gluten--in terms of hard candies, Jolly Ranchers are gluten-free. I know that some conversation candies are gluten-free--not sure which ones--Russel Stover lists gluten on the package and I made a post somewhere with many lists from common Valentines Day companies.
  4. Girlygirl--MSG does not contain gluten so it would not affect us physically the way gluten was. MSG can trigger symptoms in people--celiac or not--but although the symptoms might resemble those of celiac, it wouldn't be due to gluten in the ingredient--I think that's what people were confused about.
  5. When did they change? I know they at least were gluten-free--if they aren't still. Yeah--very sure they are gluten-free.
  6. Momof3, If you e-mail Scott, he can change your username for you--then you can keep your personal statistics, signatures, PMs, etc.
  7. They may be, but I wouldn't eat them. I had read another article on this study, but this was recently on Jessica's support group, USA Silly-Yaks Quaker is the worst of all of these--stay away in my opinion.
  8. Many don't see any change in 3 weeks--give it a few months and you should feel extraordinary.
  9. I drink their apple juice--I believe that all juices are gluten-free if they're 100%--can't help you with the "Mauna" drink.
  10. Cool--thank you--another link to add to "my favorites"
  11. Manishewitz makes soups--Kosher, I guess, which I had been eating. Kitchen Basics makes a natural chicken broth or something like that--gluten-free--says it on the box. I haven't tried it, but it was recommended to me. Herb Ox -- the powdery stuff that you put in hot water--gluten-free--I had it in the hospital and the Clan Thompson booklet says it...

    Yes--not eating will make your metabolism slow down--thinking that it's starving. Thus, you will not only have the discomfort of not eating, but your body will cling to every calorie it can. That's why diet programs always stress eating breakfast to get your metabolism going and not skipping meals. Do try to get some support from someone you can see...
  13. I got my bracelets today--and my Living Without magazine
  14. I'm back! I can't give a complete update, but I just wanted to inform you . In the next hour I hope to get back here and I'll give you the full story.
  15. Yes--someone made reference to an article in the news awhile ago--it was about a girl whose First Communion was denied by the Catholic Church because she used a gluten-free, not gluten-containing wafer. Here is a post about it: Open Original Shared Link
  16. Hmm....is it questionable or definite no? I wouldn't have even thought twice if I saw it on a label.
  17. Molly, did they tell you that it wasn't gluten-free when you called? Because I heard that the extra strength caplets were and...I think some infants kind and maybe another. Anyway, did the company tell you this or do you suspect it based on your reactions?
  18. I do--I periodically e-mail/PM 3-4 people from the board, and exchange frequent e-mails/IMs with one person from here....I think I've made a few good friends so far--
  19. I am getting ready--and bringing many gluten-free foods in case I they try to give me white bread and saltines and I decide that I can't trust their food. I will post when I get out--which will be Wed. or Thurs., I think. And I know about the gluten-free diet--I'm just thrilled cause this should be the end of my symptoms.
  20. Wow.....that's a long time! Congratulations!
  21. I see your point, but I would think that if something really bad happens to you, you want people to give you whatever you need to get better--then you can deal with a gluten reaction.
  22. No--the extra strength caplets are gluten-free
  23. Yes--that's what I thought. I haven't tried the chat. Actually, I did once, but it didn't work. Then I realized that there are specific times. A moderated chat on Monday sometimes in the evening and another unmoderated chat on Wednesday, about the same time. I have yet to try it during a correct time, but would like to. I think a message board is...
  24. Just for future reference, here's another gluten-free medications list: Open Original Shared Link Which I got from Open Original Shared Link
  25. Open Original Shared Link This is a two week gluten-free survival guide....I thought this would be extremely helpful for newbies. I found it while poking around on the Delphi board. I don't post there, but occasionally poke around for interesting tidbits. It's an adobe file, so you need adobe reader, which if you don't already have, can be downloaded...
