    Update: We had a long talk over lunch yesterday (we both go home for lunch). Neither of us slept the night before, so we were both exhausted. He’s decided to go see a GI. I guess he’s been having a lot of cramping lately, and I guess what could be described as spasms in his gut. They are random, but really bother him. I can often hear his stomach gur...

    Thanks everyone, I know I won't be able to get him to go to a support group...he doesn't even think that gluten could be the problem. But I'll see if there's one I can find. We have another friend going through this, but he's been gluten-free for over a year and feels better, so he's all gung-ho about it and seemingly has no problems living that lifestyle...

    He hasn't given up yet, but is talking about it. We've been gluten-free since late May...5 months. There have been some accidental glutenings, but only 2 or 3 that I'm aware of. As far as other items...that's where I have a hard time. Our toothpaste is either Crest or Colgate, can't remember which. He uses Finesse shampoo and Old Spice body wash...

    Terrified is more like it!! You’ve all been so helpful and supportive in the past. My husband had another mini meltdown last night, and I’m not sure how much more I can take. I suspect he’s gluten intolerant, and we’ve been gluten-free for 5 months now. I think there has been improvement, but he doesn’t see it. He’s frustrated beyond belief and ...

    Ugh...I don't like hearing that! Well, it's been a week and a half since the chicken. The diarrhea stopped within a day or so, which is good. But he's still got the cramping (worse in the morning), worse than before the chicken. He describes it as though his guts are being twisted. He's particulary upset this weekend because a friend is having a...

    Thanks Lorka, I'll take a look at your recipe! Suzie, I'm American, but hubby is a Newfie (grew up in Clarenville).

    I will. I feel really horrible though, because today for lunch he ate...you guess it...leftover chicken! Luckily he only ate a tiny bit. I'm going to throw it our right now.

    Geez, do I feel like an idiot!! I actually realized after I reread what I posted....it must have been the chicken! It really didn't occur to me until then! Back to baking whole chickens myself, I guess. I usually only grab a chicken at the store when I'm in a pinch. Thanks!

    Hi, I posted yesterday in the "Healing Time After Glutening" thread, but it seems I did so hastily... After 4 months gluten free, my husband has had quite an improvement, until the last 2 days. He complained of feeling bloated after eathing Wednesday night, and had diarrhea yesterday...the first time in a couple of months, I think. The thing that...

    I’m glad I found this thread…I was about to start a similar one! My husband is the one who we suspect is gluten intolerant. We have been gluten-free for 4 months now, and while there has been improvement, it’s very slow. He has not been tested, and probably will not because he does not want to go back to eating gluten. Before gluten-free he had c...

    I’m sooo looking forward to the cooler weather (don’t really have winters in Houston) so I can make pea soup!! I recently received my shipment of salt beef (took almost a month to get here!), and we have several bags of yellow split peas in the pantry. But what about the dumplings? The dumplings I make now are obviously made with white flour, and the...

    I’m posting this here because in the end, it DOES have to do with my spouse. We found out this weekend that a friend of ours (34 yr old male) has colon cancer. I found out Friday night when I saw this couple at another friend’s house. I was floored and got quite upset. You see, my DH was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 2 years ago, and I wouldn’t w...

    My husband has not been tested yet, and I'm not sure he will be, but we believe he is either gluten intolerant or Celiac. He didn't start showing symptoms of celiac disease until just 2 years ago, but at the same time he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, so we had no idea what was going on...as far as we were concerned, everything had to do with his thyroid...

    I never thought of doing a beef roast...oh well. I've also decided to make a batch of Mexican rice to go w/ the enchiladas. He's going to be on his own w/ the gluten-free spaghetti. We have some, plus the Classico sauce and meatballs I made...he knows how to operate the microwave. I'll do the rice tomorrow...and then I'm done cooking. ...

    Food Saver is a home vacuum packer. Comes in very, very handy! I buy our meats in bulk at Sams, then break it all into smaller packages, freeze, and vacuum pack them. Also works good for frozen french fries, hash browns, coffee beans, ground coffee. The website is Open Original Shared Link

    This should be interesting!! I'm leaving on Thursday for a week. My DH (who is the gluten intolerant one), if left to his own devices, would eat cereal for 7 days. What he would have done in the past is eat frozen pizzas, Kraft mac and cheese, or pick up Quiznos. No more, of course. So, this leaves me the unenviable task of spending much of...

    Hi, I have been wondering about something. My DH and I have been gluten free now for about 2 months. He is the one that we think is intolerant. Since we’ve been gluten-free, he has improved. Now 2 weeks ago, he had a bad week, but there was also the stress/anxiety of medical appointments and tests he was undergoing as a follow up to thyroid cancer s...

    Thanks! The funny thing is, I'm going by myself this time! My mother in law and the other women in the family get together one weekend every summer and have a "hen party." Just women, eating and drinking for 3 days. I'm lucky that my in laws have treated me as one of their own since day 1. My MiL doesn't know I'm coming...we (me, DH, my BiL and SiL...

    Hi! I'm not Canadian, but my husband is. He's from Newfoundland, but has been living here in the US for almost 10 years, which is where we met. He's also the one who is either gluten intolerant or Celiac. He hasn't been tested yet, and I'm not sure if he will be. But his dad has Celiac. We've been gluten-free for almost 2 months, and DH has improved...

    Well, it's been 7 weeks since we've been gluten-free! There's been quite a bit of improvement, but there's still a ways to go. His mood is better in some ways. He seems a lot more happy overall. We got into it a bit over the 4th of July, but it was because of what I was planning for supper. He's getting sick of grilled chicken or pork chops. However...

    Thanks everyone! Things have calmed down now. I was going to go to Whole Foods after work today, but we've had some heavy rains and flooding throughout Houston today, so I decided just to come home. DH doesn't eat breakfast during the week, anyway, so I can go tomorrow or the next day. I plan to buy more than one box of whatever I choose, so we'll be...
  22. Stacie H.
    Whoah...what a couple of days. DH has had a bad week, topped off with the fact that a computer he was building failed miserably. I'm not happy about the money lost on that either, but he thinks he can tear it apart and recoup a lot of it. Fine, he can afford that. Then a coworker of his had a birthday yesterday, and someone brought in a cake and kolaches...

    My DH is not feeling well tonight...crampy, gassy, uncomfortable. We've been gluten-free for just over a week, and we were seeing some improvement in him. Monday we went to my parents' house for a cookout. It was the first time in over a year that he's felt well enough to eat anywhere else but our house. My parents cooked hamburgers/hotdogs, and while...

    Thanks everyone! I have to say that most days are good days, and there are now more good days than bad. This weekend was very good. Mark decided on Saturday he just wanted to go out and drive around..."just to get out of the house." On top of that, he went with me to my parents' house and actually ATE!! My mom was so tickled...it's been well...

    Hi! My name is Stacie. My husband Mark and I live in Katy, TX (suburb of Houston). I'm here because of him. We've been gluten-free for one week now, because we suspect he has Celiac and/or gluten intolerance. He has not been tested. His dad was diagnosed with Celiac 20+ years ago, but Mark has never shown symptoms until the past year and a half...
