  1. Hi Grissomz, The view new post feature simply shows all the posts that are new and have not been read (or were just recently read) by you. When I click on "view new posts" I see a differents selection of posts than another member because the view new posts feature is customized to each member. When you log on and click on view new posts, you just get...
  2. Open Original Shared Link Oh, they weren't debating that MSG is gluten, but Red thought that MSG had negative effects on the body the way gluten does and could be why some of us had trouble with symptoms despite a gluten-free diet.
  3. Though I would not recommend it, some doctors like to put their patients on a gluten challenge if the gluten-free diet seems to have helped them. The idea is that: 1. Prior to diagnosis you ate gluten...and you got sick. 2. You stopped eating gluten...and you're feeling better. so....if you start eating gluten again, you should feel sick again....
  4. Oh, cynicaltomorrow, I never got around to your question ...I wouldn't know the answer (strack2004 seems to know a lot about the sc diet...you might try asking her). My advice would be to remain dairy-free in the beginning. If the diet works for you, slowly add dairy back. Do not add a lot of dairy at once. If you do, your body might react since it's...
  5. Yesterday I did a bit of research on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet on the internet and I, too, thought it might be a good way to alleviate or eliminate my current symptoms. It does, however, seem very restrictive--with no grains allowed at all, I think you're left with vegetables, fresh meats, and some fruit...anyway, to anyone interested in learning about...
  6. Maybe, like the company suggested, the supermarket you go to has decided to stock other varieties/flavors of the soup. Or perhaps the Creamy Mushroom wasn't selling very well. If you ask them to, they might add it back...or just make smaller orders, knowing that you'll buy the soup.
  7. Hmm....sad to see that all of Red's posts have been deleted and replaced with dashes...i would've liked to hear his replies. Anyway, to reiterate Darlindeb's question, is MSG hidden as gluten is? And what exactly is it?
  8. Lol....I have REALLY long eyelashes...neither of my parents do, though...lol...yet another connection to celiac. My tongue is sorta weird, too, according to the homeopathic dr. I've been going to. I don't see what he's referring to, but he said it has "islands" on it.....whatever that means
  9. Thank you for all the replies I've received thus far. It's nice to know you're not the only one--that there are others who, if not with the same symptoms, have been on the diet just as long or longer than you and are having similar problems. Stacie, I'm not sure if I've been tested for either Chrons or Lupus--my mother said she thought I had been tested...
  10. Cheryllk tried to post this, but used the report button:
  11. Yes...there's a pretty good, but slightly bland, bread crumb-type thing...made by Ener-G. My mom sometimes makes me chicken nuggets with fresh chicken into good-sized chunks covered with the bread crumbs...they can be made more interesting with gluten-free spices or salt. I've also tried them on veal and pork...also pretty good
  12. I highly doubt that it's gluten-free. The seasonings could contain gluten, and the fryer is probably used for all chicken...probably not safe. You can Open Original Shared Link or see how accomodating they'd be.....
  13. Here's my message! I used your exact words in the end...
  14. I haven't used this soup, but will take a few minutes to write for the benefit of other Progresso Creamy Portabella Mushroom Soup users
  15. Hi everyone, I think I've asked this before when it weeks turned into months with minimal progress. My symptoms included stomach pains (due to gas, the doctor said), vomiting, nausea, bloating, gas, low weight, and loose stools. I was diagnosed with celiac on February 17th through after numerous tests: bone age, bloodwork (allergies, celiac), sonogram...
  16. Celiac: Yes Diabetes: No Sex: Male
  17. That could be from stress...some people gain a lot of weight when they're stressed, as you might be before finding out if you have celiac.
  18. For good meal/protein bars: Genisoy makes two gluten-free bars. One is called something like "Southern Style Chunky Peanut Butter". I like this one the best, cause it tastes sort of like a candy bar--chocolate on the outside, pb and nuts and stuff on the inside, it tastes good, and it's vitamin-packed. Genisoy also makes a "Pure golden honey honey yogurt...
  19. I know what you mean. I often think of that when I'm mad or sick. There is, however, another group that has had no health problems at all....there are also many 14-year-olds who have never had any dietary restrictions, not been vomiting and having stomach pains since they were seven, and never had to deal with ANY health issues! I think that's what upsets...
  20. Hi, I know I've read this post before, but I've never replied. The first few weeks of trial and error were miserable--eating soggy breads and hard breads and breads that fall into crumbs when you touch them...and getting tired of eating the same three or four foods until I could find out which others were gluten-free. Later it sunk in that this was...
  21. I know.....good points...luckily, nobody important in my life is a disbeliever . The end of your post made me think back, too, to the days where I would pop anything in my mouth that I wanted or would order anything off a restaurant menu based on what tasted good, or when going to the grocery store with my mom, just browse and look for something new that...
  22. Don't forget that chain restaurants are convenient...check the eating/dining out & restaurants section for those options.
  23. All you can do is call them. You'll probably get a good idea of whether or not they've dealt with this before and whether or not you can trust them--and of course, bring food of your own.
  24. If you have osteoporosis, there is a very good chance you also have celiac. Osteoporosis is one common long-term effect of gluten on a celiac's body.
