ARCHIVED Possible Milk/soy Allergy
Corkdarrr replied to Corkdarrr's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks Vicky - I suppose I'm still in a bit of denial and hoping for the best. I wouldn't wish food allergies even on my worst enemy! Courtney -
ARCHIVED Possible Milk/soy Allergy
Corkdarrr replied to Corkdarrr's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
No one? I'm so confused because we just had the most perfectly pleasant day with none of the troubles we had over the weekend...wouldn't it be more consistent if it was a food allergy? -
ARCHIVED Possible Milk/soy Allergy
Corkdarrr posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hey all - I'm hoping someone on here can give me some more information on all this. My daughter is two and a half weeks old and up until about two days ago, it was all smooth sailing. I am breastfeeding her and she's been eating fine and gaining weight normally. Two days ago she started getting extremely fussy, crying until she's hoarse, she vomited... -
ARCHIVED Celiacs And Appendixes
Corkdarrr replied to Kyalesyin's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've never seen or read about a correlation between the two. A good friend of mine who is Celiac had her appendix out several months ago. Really, the Celiacs just made it harder to diagnose because she spent hours convinced that she'd just eaten something wrong and her stomach was acting up again. It wasn't until the pain became intensely localized and... -
ARCHIVED Progresso Soups
Corkdarrr replied to Corkdarrr's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Oh Sweetfudge, I cried, too!! The Progresso's Cream of Mushroom was just way too thin and watery to make casserole with!! I know there's ways to thicken it up, but nothing is the same as Campbell's gelatinous mass of can-shaped soup... Anyways, I had a can of the Chicken and Corn Chowder last nite and it didn't appear to affect me adversely, so that's... -
ARCHIVED Progresso Soups
Corkdarrr replied to Corkdarrr's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks Laura - That's my logic, too. Plus after I put my post up I started to do some more Google-Research and it seems that Progresso is quite good, in fact, about listing gluten ingredients. I guess all my questions will be answered in about an hour or so!! Courtney -
ARCHIVED Progresso Soups
Corkdarrr posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was just at the grocery store staring longingly at the ease of the canned soup aisle when I decided to pick one up - Progresso's Chicken Corn Chowder and Progresso's Southwestern Style Chicken both have no gluten ingredients listed. While checking other varieties I realized that they are good about listing the main allergens at the bottom of the ingredient... -
ARCHIVED Johnsonville Brats
Corkdarrr posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know I've read on several occassions that Johnsonville brats are all gluten-free - except, of course, for the beer brats. We just got a new, fancy, shiny grill and I had a brat today for lunch. The kind that has cheddar infused into the deliciousness of the bratwurst ...ooooooooh, but it did NOT sit well. I don't know if I feel like I was glutened... -
Seriously...I'm 25 and I've never even heard of this concept! I checked out the Diva Cup and the Instead online and found stores locally that carry it. I'm SO giving it a try! - Courtney

ARCHIVED Amy's Soups
Corkdarrr replied to mamatide's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know a lot of people have had problem's with Amy's products. I've personally had problems with some of her frozen entrees. But I had a can of Amy's tomato soup a few weeks ago and had no problems with it. It was the first time I'd ever tried it and YUM! Based on my experience, I'd say it was the candybar -Courtney -
Anyone see Scrubs on tonite? They mentioned gluten in a one-liner and my boyfriend and I couldn't stop laughing until the commercial break...fabulous. It may have been an insignificant joke, but at least they said gluten!

ARCHIVED Feeling A Little Bit Sad
Corkdarrr replied to runnerjen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hey Jen I can SO sympathize. I've been gluten-free for 7 months now, but I still feel like I need to find a doctor who will prescribe me valium specifically to be taken before going to the grocery store. It's so frustrating! Especially because before all this happened, I used to LOVE to cook. Now it's a huge daily struggle just to figure out what I'm going... -
ARCHIVED So I Had Some Blood Work Done
Corkdarrr replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have been hypothyroid for over 13 years. And just in the last few months I have finally found a competent doctor. I would highly recommend that you find a doctor who prescribes and understands Armour thyroid. For a lot of people it makes a HUGE difference. You can find doctors that prescribe this type of med several ways: 1. ask your local pharmacist... -
I always thought my thyroid was the problem. And it IS a problem. It's just that it all links back to my adrenal glands failing. From what I understand, anything you do for your thyroid without helping your adrenals is like a band aid and it will never really address the real problem. I have just started on AdreCort and several other supplements to help...
