Anybody Out There A Morbidly Obese Celiac?
ptkds replied to ts1986's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am obese too. I have been overweight since I was in Jr high. Sadly, I havn't lost any weight since going gluten-free. But everyones body is different. You may be lucky and lose weight, but you may not. -
Does Anyone Throw Up With Celiac?

Overwhelmed With Gluten Free Food & Prices
ptkds replied to Disney323's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I feel the same way as you, especially at first. It is very overwhelming. Especially if your entire family is going gluten-free at home (like mine did). Here are some tips I learned: Make your own bread. I invested in a good Kitchen aid mixer for bread and pizza dough. Buy some of Bette Hagman's cookbooks. They are wonderful and I haven't had a recipe...
