I have done alot of reading on here about the weight issues, wether it is gain or loss, it has helped me understand alot but I am still finding it emotionally hard. I have never had a problem like most of you on losing weight until now and the weight gain so depresses me. I will say that getting on here to read everyone's posts it helps me out alot and I...

I have to say this was so amazing and helpful. This was our first Celiac Event since I have been diagnosed and it was so helpful, friendly and felt so very normal. I just want to thank all the hard workers that made the Phoenix Event so much fun for all of us new comers! We will see you again next year!!!

Cross Contamination Is It Really That Easy?

Thanks for the advice and I am learning to be much more careful now. I do my cooking first in my pans before my husband cooks for him and the kids. I haven't been to whole foods yet..gonna go there for sure to get that book! Thanks again -
Last night I made some gluten free noodles (which I didn't care for, tasted very weird) and I put gluten free alfredo sauce on it. I made my stuff in there own pots but I was also cooking spagetti for my kids at the same time with their sauce cooking as well...their sauce popped some and got on the stove but I couldn't tell if it did get into my food so I...

Don't know of any bread myself yet, we are thinking of learning to make our own. I was shocked to find out that I had celiac disease because I was only having left side pain really bad for the past 6 months not stomach pain but my family thinks that I am so use to how I feel that I dont know the difference and I will once I get better. Good luck with...

Ok we have decided to stay home for New Years which I am glad about. Christmas Eve turned out to be horrible! I know its mostly me and my emotions but I felt that no one but my mom and hubby cared at all. They all just snacked and said how yummy it all was and there I sat, my first xmas, watching them all enjoy themselves. I did bring my own piece of...

Awwww what a real trooper! Thanks for sharing that with me. Reading this makes me realize that I need to find others that have this or know someone that has it, I think that would help me. I would have been mortified also and hurting for my child if they had to go through that. He got through a tough situation and that encourages me to do the same...

My husband and I went shopping yesterday to get a few thing for an early Christmas dinner with my kids as they will be with their Dad on Christmas Day. I really started feeling down as we were picking out the normal foods that they usually eat and I can not now. I felt myself getting angry and then sad as we picked up the pumpkin pie knowing I could not...

Well I just got a phone call from my dr.'s office on my chest CT and it came back with a nodula on the lower part of my lung. I will go for another test to see if I have Valley Fever or have ever had it because this nodula could be from that so I am not concerned as I have heard alot of people get scars on their lungs from it. I didnt get to see my dr...

This is all still very new to me and I know it will take some time for me to learn all of this. It has been scary to read all the posts and realize how much I will have to change my life style but I know I can do this. I have a wonderful husband and family that are supporting me and reading information along with me and that helps a great deal. Diagnosted...
