    Yep...of course, make sure it looks like a credible site. The shipping is high, so you're best off with a nearby healthfood store, but with some sites they have a flat shipping rate so you can just order in bulk and the shipping doesn't seem as extreme.

    Yes--it disappeared because it wasn't pinned. That means that a moderator hadn't seen it yet, verified that it was a valid post, and thus, moved it to the front of the forum. I have just pinned it, so it's now at the front of the foods, products, shopping, and medications section.

    Rice, though it seems innocent, can be problematic. First, you need to make sure that it doesn't have anything weird added to it, such as spices, etc. Most likely, though, it was made with chicken broth instead of water, which means that it very likely wasn't gluten-free. I'll bet that's your problem--very common. Feel better!

    Cool idea...there isn't any program here with that, obviously, but I guess you could just ask someone who seems knowledgeable via e-mail if they'd be willing to help with questions or whatever--I guess this board is sort of like that, just with many different people, some of them in the same beginning stages of the diet.
  5. celiac3270
    That's definitely true. I got a chart from Jessica's Yahoo Support Group that says which nutrients you're lacking if you have certain cravings...really helpful...I think I posted it up here awhile ago, but I don't remember where--
  6. celiac3270
    Yes...you also start to forget what the old version tasted like after awhile, which makes you all the more satisfied with the gluten-free version. I've been almost a year on this diet and lately I've been literally rechecking that the bagel I'm eating is gluten-free...and of course it is--it has it on the package--I'm just saying that it gets better. Especially...

    Bread is very difficult to replace. I think I read an article that somewhere in Northern Europe somebody made a break-through in celiac bread , but so far there isn't anything exactly like the old bread. The main problem, I think, is density. For store-bought breads, I think the Ener-G and Kinnickinick breads are the best. I think I usually use Ener...

    Some publicity for celiac...and this site!

    ARCHIVED Columbia Presbyterian

    celiac3270 replied to mela14's topic in Doctors

    I live in NY and know that Columbia Prebyterian has a good reputation. It is known also for having some sort of celiac program. Of course, I don't know about the individual doctor, but the hospital is good

    You can definitely get gluten-like symptoms even if you ate no gluten, particularly if you haven't been on the diet for too long. If gluten snuck in several days ago, that would make you more prone to getting such symptoms, as well.

    celiac3270 replied to a topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    Sure--sorry, I didn't see this reply until I was browsing through old messages in this forum. You can't pin a topic yourself. Instead, one of the moderators on the board has to do it. The moderator will read the topic and if it's in the wrong place, move it. Once it's in the right spot on the board (right section), the moderator will pin your topic...

    It takes awhile...I didn't like food for the first few months. First, I hadn't found many good gluten-free foods to begin with. Second, I had a sort of aversion to food (not anorexia or anything--just that i wasn't hungry) because I knew that when I ate and my stomach didn't digest, I'd eventually get stomach pains, vomiting, etc. I'd been this way for...
  13. celiac3270
    Sounds interesting. I use Ener-G bread crumbs, which are pretty good, but I'll try this, too
  14. celiac3270
    I, too, relucantly agree. I mean, I'd love to be able to eat a lot of the stuff I can't, but at least I know that I'll be much healthier as a result. --and this label reading makes you much more aware of the junk that you would be putting in your body.
  15. celiac3270
    Right--there's a very good chance the person would've gotten it regardless. I wasn't breastfed and I probably developed celiac around 6-8 years old. Being breastfed might have put it off awhile, but I think I would've eventually triggered it somehow. I guess it doesn't really matter why I--or anyone--developed celiac. However it came about, we all...
  16. celiac3270
    Thanks--no, haven't tried that because the tests said that I didn't have any intolerances/allergies with milk products/dairy/casein/lactose, etc. Yes--the first year does seem to take forever. It's hard to believe that only a year ago I was eating wheat-filled bagels every morning, pizzas, pastas, etc. Congrats again, Stargirl
  17. celiac3270
    Yes, congrats! I'm exactly one month away from my 1 year anniversary--not feeling great in terms of health, but I feel like an expert on the diet, etc.

    On Open Original Shared Link, I remember seeing a sample table for doing th tax returns, but I looked for this a couple months ago and couldn't find it. You might try e-mailing them, cause they had one, but then it seemed to vanish...maybe they could link you. I think that it is more worth it for low-income families, anyway. I don't know the procedure...
  19. celiac3270
    Don't think it's refractory--first, refractory is very rare, and second, you said that she had been getting much better. With refractory, the symptoms come, stay, and don't get any better even if you're 100% gluten-free. Play Dough is very likely the culprit. It definitely contains gluten, and she probably touched it and then touched food or put her...

    Don't have any details, but my father said he heard about a celiac "forum" w/ doctors on the radio in Chicago. It should be aired around 6:00...I don't know what station it's on or anything, but for those who live in Chicago, if there are any on the board, it might be worth doing a bit of research for.
  21. celiac3270
    I've tried gluten-free replacements...I think I like Chebe the most so far, but right now acidic foods really bother my stomach, so I haven't even had a gluten-free pizza in months....which in itself doesn't entirely replace the old pizza. Thanks, though
  22. celiac3270
    Oh, sorry...I thought you said you had been gluten-free two months ...yes, I'm not a dr., but I think that would suffice.
  23. celiac3270
    If you're going to get a positive endo., you need to eat a lot more wheat than one graham cracker a day...and you should start as soon as possible eating it so that you can mess up your intestines enough for the test.....I know that sounds terrible. Of course, your other option is to not have the endo. at all, which is fine as long as you believe that the...
  24. celiac3270
    Hi, welcome! I'm also fourteen...on the gluten-free diet for 11 months... Yes, modified food starch CAN contain gluten, but doesn't always. You should call the company if you find that on a label except for with some celiac-friendly companies, such as Kraft (as tarnalberry said). Kraft will label any source of gluten or other common allergens (soy...
  25. celiac3270
    Biopsies are not always accurate. If the doctor selects samples from areas of the intestine that aren't damaged, it can result in a negative biopsy. If you have positive blood results, you almost definitely have celiac. Though people think of the typical celiac as being the extremely thin person with diarrhea, bloating, gas, etc., that's not actually...
