  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. I can be the next person to tell you that I know exactly how you are feeling right now. After a few months of gluten-free-ness, I still felt bad off and on. The people around me had a difficult time understanding the time it takes for your body to heal. Some days you will have good days, and some days you will have bad days. But I can promise you that it...
  3. It does get easier! I remember how extremely frustrating it was for the first part after my diagnosis. There were times when I was still sick, and had no clue what I could be getting gluten from. After getting all new pots, pans, drinking glasses, and containers, as well as double checking products with manufacturers, I talked to my doctor and she explained...
  4. That happened to me after first going gluten-free. My church also dips the waffer in the juice, which means that a gluten-free waffer doesn't serve a ton of purpose if it's dipped into a bunch of bread crumbs. Hope you are feeling okay!
  5. That is so annoying! I have run into many people with that same attitude. I was diagnosed when I was 17 (I'm now 19), and I know how your son feels. I used to not necessarily get embarrassed, but I would feel really bad, like I had to apologize for my disease, when that should not be the case. Tell your son not to let it get him down, and that some people...
  6. 81.) Watch too many epsiodes of your favorite show on DVD. 82.) Call your friend who let's you know that it's totally okay to feel awful and cry to let it all out. 83.) Remember other times when you've been so sick and someone has done something nice for you to make you feel better. 84.) As has been mentioned many times- sleep! 85.) Put on your favorite...
  7. I go to a community college right now, but I went to the University of North Texas the other day to talk about meal plans and if it would be possible. I talked to the nutritionist who appeared to have a pretty good understanding of Celiac disease and all it entails. She said that she has a current student who will come in once a week to look at the lunch...
  8. Thanks for all the help! My mom went and got me some plain aloe vera and hopefully that will help it heal quicker. Thanks again!

    ARCHIVED Dating

    I also wondered at one point how I was supposed to let the guys know about my dieting needs. Since I was diagnosed in high school, most of the guys I dated knew me and knew about what I'd gone through and at least knew I had the disease. However, when I went off to college I wondered how I would tell people- and especially guys I went out with- about my ...
  10. Hey ya'll, so I went to the lake the other day and came back really burned. I was curious, what kinds of lotion do ya'll use when this happens to you? I've been trying to check a lot of sites and past topics, but I couldn't find anything. My mom bought me some Johnson's baby lotion and Solarcaine Aloe. We tried to check with the pharacist at our drug store...

  12. I was browsing through other posts and noticed someone mentioned fruity pebbles are gluten-free? i just wanted to confirm if it was or not. if it is, i will be one happy girl
  13. i'm a little late coming onto this, but i've had the same problem trying to find easy things to eat. it seems like ever since i gave up gluten, eating became such a chore. with work and school, it is hard to find time to eat, especially eating healthy and gluten free. for me, i've found what works is packing some gluten-free crackers and a gluten-free energy...
  14. I know exactly how all of ya'll feel. A friend of mine invited me to his prom recently, and the group of people we were going with were really good about going to a place for dinner where I felt comfortable. Outback Steakhouse was what I suggested because it's where I've always felt the most comfortable, and most of the group seemed to agree that it would...
  15. Does anyone know exactly what to look for in ingredients for make-up and lip gloss...things like that. Will it say wheat or is the gluten in another ingredient? I was diagnosed with Celiac a little over a year ago. While I was sick for so long, I of course wasn't even thinking about make-up or anything like that, but now I'm trying to figure out what of...
