  1. Welcome, Stephanie! You've found a great place with a wealth of information and camaradarie (I'll need spell check on THAT word).... I know it was hard being diagnosed just before the holidays, but consider it this way--you got your first holiday season under your belt right away! It will get easier. I've been diagnosed around 9 months and feel like...
  2. Woodchuck ciders are gluten free, and I get mine at the local grocery store. They're GREAT!
  3. Crest--all of the varietys are gluten free.
  4. Welcome back, Penguin! You have been missed. I particularly have missed your humor and your insightfulness. Sorry to hear about the Chron's but glad you can now be treated for the problem. Keep us updated on school, especially any new gluten free gems!
  5. As for the toothpaste, crest toothpastes are all gluten free. I think colgate is as well, but you might want to double check on that. According to this website, Open Original Shared Link, the inhaler is okay, too. Check out the site, it's been a great help to me! Best, Lisa
  6. Nantzie. Thanks so much for this post. I had brought up in an earlier thread (ysterday, I think) that I sometimes feel ignored here, and I had serious trepidation about posting that. People responded very kindly and with great insight to that comment, and to ALL I say thank you. I sometimes just lurk, I sometimes am too overwhelmed to read whole posts...
  7. Keep us posted on your mom
  8. Turtle, this quote comes directly from this site. Go to the site index, then click on the section about testing and diagnosis and there's lots of good info. This comes from Dr. Peter Green. "What about the patient who seeks a diagnosis, but has already eliminated gluten from the diet? It is very difficult for many patients to go back on a gluten-containing...
  9. ........spoonworthy (eating it directly with a spoon, no dippers needed). now THAT'S my kind of recipe
  10. I second what Momma Goose says. Your symptoms certainly sound like they could be celiac. Do push for the upper endosopy with the boipsies, as this will check for the blunting/flattening of the villi and is consideredd the "gold standard" diagnosis for celiac. Whatever your results turn out to be, if you feel better off gluten, there's your answer ...
  11. Jessica, that sounds AWESOME! I can't wait to try it--thanks for sharing
  12. Here's the way I see it. Srokie came onto the board trying to be helpful with information that she believes to be true. I do think that her source on the toilet tissue is heresay and that we need clarification/documentation on the planter's statement from her doctor. When people questioned her, in a nice way, actually stating that they were not trying...
  13. Welcome, Diane! and check your email Hey...we have three. that's enough for a group, right? Let's do this thing!
  14. Thank you, Richard. You are a voice of reason.
  15. Welcome!! I'm from the Raleigh area and tried to contact the TGIG group numerous times. I finally emailed their webmaster after the other contact person never replied and he did write back. He basically said that the group isn't active (lack of attendance/interest) and that the leaders were just burned out. I'm trying to decide if I have enough time...
  16. hey. I'm glad you guys liked the article. I found it so helpful. I'm just posting to try to get it back to the new posts so more folks might benefit from it....hope it works
  17. Let us know what you think
  18. I wasn't even sure what catagory to put this under since there isn't one called "stupid ways I've glutened myself." Two nights ago I began with symptoms and didn't sleep at ALL after 3 am. Yesterday was rough, to say the least. I thought it must have been the coffee shop I'd visited Friday night, but I called them yesterday, and we went back over what...
  19. Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free bread mix is the BEST! Even my family and friends who are glutenoids love it I buy it by the case at amazon .com because it's so much less expensive than the stores. Enjoy!
  20. my understanding is that all yoplait is gluten free unless it has something obvious in it like cookie crumbles. I eat yoplait all the time. it's YUMMY Enjoy!
  21. Momma Goose is exactly right. I always try to call ahead (at a non-peak time) and speak with a manager or even better the chef. When you get the chef, they'll sometimes even help you plan a meal right then and there on the phone, and have the wait staff alert them when you arrive. I also try to go at non-peak times when possible. I've worked as a waitress...
  22. Pei Wei has just opened a restaurant in our area. According to their website, they are owned by PF Changs, but I think you go through a line and order your food, then sit down and they bring it out. Has anyone tried them? What was your experience? From the website, it looks like they have the Spicy Chicken dish just like Changs. Oh, Happy Day!!
  23. I decided to take citricel to try to regulate my system, and for a day and a half, I've had serious GI symptoms and a terrible headache last night. I don't know of any gluten I could have gotten, but can citricel cause this? thanks.
  24. Open Original Shared Link This is a great article I found which was so helpful to me. So much good information, and you really need to listen to the part about how to take care of yourself when dining out. I'm in my 9th month gluten free and really struggled with not wanting to seem "pushy" or "high maintainence" in restaurants. After a couple of...
