ARCHIVED Sick From Wheat Flour In The Air? Does This Happen To You?
powderprincess replied to nederlandse's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I experienced an air-glutening a few months ago. My husband and I were packing up and moving to a new place. I was outside putting something in the car, meanwhile, my dear hubby dumped a container of wheat flour from the back of the cabinent down the sink, we wouldn't need it at the new place. Of course when I walked inside I could smell it and went outside... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else In Central Upstate Ny?
powderprincess replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi Everyone, I am not in Upstate anymore but I loved reading this post. I went to school at Syracuse and LOVED it there. I worked at Song Mountain in Tully my senior year. Clearly the best job I've ever had (alright, most fun job anyway). I have family and friends in a lot of the places you mentioned Just popping in to say "hey" and I love NY. -

ARCHIVED Anyone Else Have It Band Trouble?
powderprincess replied to julie5914's topic in Sports and Fitness
I have a non IT related chronic injury, don't want to jack the thread, but I use a styrofoam tube, too, and it works wonders! Hope the IT issues clear up. -
ARCHIVED How Long Should I Wait?
powderprincess replied to LoveBeingATwin's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My doc had logical advice. She said "you're body won't let you get pregnant until you're ready". Simplified advice for sure, but it also makes sense. So go by how you feel and hey. . .have fun in the meantime! -
ARCHIVED Overwhelmed With Gluten Free Food & Prices
powderprincess replied to Disney323's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Good advice has already been delivered. I will just chime in and say everyone is right. I enjoy the Tinkyada pasta; it's awesome & I eat a lot of fruits and veggies. With just beans and rice, one can make a lot of cheap good eats. You've got Mexican, southwestern, Indian, and who knows what else depending on the spices you add. -
ARCHIVED Will An Allergy Specialist Do? Or Do I Need A Ped Gi?
powderprincess replied to buttonburger's topic in Doctors
I took myself to an allergy specialist 3 years ago and saw them often when I was young. They didn't catch the celiac. The GI will most likely know much more. Good luck and hope your fam feels better soon! Rice krispies!!! bad! (except ones you make yourself) I think you answered your own question since you were told by someone in the allergy office... -
ARCHIVED The Other Side Cafe-boston, Ma
powderprincess replied to sallyterpsichore's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Hi Sally, Welcome to the forums! I love The Other Side cafe! It's a great place. I have eaten there since I have been vegan but I have not been there since being dg with celiac disease, too. They would be a great candidate for celiac friendly dining. I don't know what they offer now, but if enough of us ask them about it I am sure they will think... -

ARCHIVED Ma Gluten Free Event
powderprincess replied to jesscarmel's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I'm glad to hear the pizza was top notch! francelajoie: The restaurant in Worcester you may be refering to is Nancy Chang's; there is a menu online Open Original Shared Link. Woot. gluten free is on there home page, rock on! Maybe we could meet up there sometime, then take a road trip to Boston because there are quite a few gluten-free friendly places... -
Thanks for sharing your stories everyone. It's good to feel less alone in having a health issue that you are not supposed to get until later on in life. I have osetopenia at age 28. Not cool. I was shortly screened for it after being dg with celiac disease. I have only had one broken bone so far and that was in a freak accident in 8th grade. Also it was...

ARCHIVED Anyone Ever Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia?
powderprincess replied to Fiddle-Faddle's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I went to a rhumatologist for a concern about Raynaud's syndrome many years ago. Then the Dr. said I had fibromyalgia, too, which can be related. I wasn't looking to be diagnosed and didn't really know what it was. My joints hurt when it rains or is going to rain ever since I can remember, so I guess she thought that had something to do with it (I thought... -
ARCHIVED What To Eat To Lose Weight.
powderprincess replied to Nancym's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
A lot of garbage usually has a high caloric content but doesn't fill you up, so more junk is needed to feel full. Calories from fiber and complex carbs (brown rice instead of white rice in our case) make one feel full because they take longer to digest and don't make your blood sugar spike and then fall. Little meals rock and keep the blood sugar level... -
ARCHIVED Ma Gluten Free Event
powderprincess replied to jesscarmel's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
bummer There is milk powder in the dough. If they change the recipe and remove the milk, I would be getting pizza like 3 times a week. I have been on withdrawl. I live so close! Aaaargh. Yet. . .so far. I hope everyone going to The Boynton has a kick ass time and eats a lot of PIZZA!!!! -

ARCHIVED I Want To Scream And Have A Meltdown!
powderprincess replied to Turtle's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Wow, I am so sorry you have to go through all this. It's one thing for all the wedding demands, but over everything else, YOU need to be the one to decide what you put into your body. I'm sorry she does not understand that. I wish you the best and I hope you do not get sick. Perhaps you can bring it up so she's sees that it benefits her if you do not eat... -
I have very cold hands. They lose circulation easily. I am in the ladies room at work a few times a day running them under hot water (also. . .it is ridiculously cold in my office). Was diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome years ago (before dg with celiac disease). I am not sure if it was related. The best thing to do is stay warm and they gave me drugs...

ARCHIVED Anyone Doing Raw Foods Diet?
powderprincess replied to BRUMI1968's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Gotta get your B12 . I love raw food but I also eat cooked food (so long as it is gluten-free and vegan). Ethier way. . it is really important to get B12 via supplements and omega-3's which are in flax seed. It's easy to get omega3 via plants, just have to remember them I am glad you feel good! -
Cool, thanks for the link, I just send a message
