I'm allergic to lots of foods. Sometimes it does show up as a swollen spot on my lip - not the whole lip, just off to one side. It does subside on its own, but is annoying until it does. Annette

Hillshire Farms
nettiebeads replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use the hillshire farm brand quite often with no problems. And about that dream you had - believe it or not, it's normal. It's your subconcious coming to grips with the diet change and life style change. I've had some doozies in the past. It's usually of eating something, then realizing that I shouldn't have and getting the food out of my mouth. That... -
White Vinegar?
nettiebeads replied to jackie4's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
the current theory is that the gluten proteins are too big and are filtered out during the distiallation process. I've used grain based distilled items and haven't had problems. You could always switch to cider vinegar. Annette -
I don't know exactly what is in pectin, but think of it as a type of gelatin. It is gluten free, that I do know.

Loved your siggy!!! I have problems with mild UTIs whenever I eat too much sugar and stuff that's bad anyhow. Just my body telling me to be good, I guess. What the other ladies have posted here I've tried in the past and it works. Hope you're better soon! Annette

Right Abdominal Pain
nettiebeads replied to Moongirl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Sounds similar to mine. It was like I was being sliced with a red hot butter knife. Turned out it was fibroids and one had attached itself to my pelvic floor. 4 1/2 yrs after my hyster. I still get the pain occasionally. Annette -
It might, and I sure hope it does. The malabsorption part of celiac disease affects the body in so many areas and in so many different ways - the effects seem to be tied to the unique physiology in each person, along with how much damage done to the intestines and how long the malabsorption has occured. Since going absolutely 100% gluten-free, my foot feels...

Cool. I'm 9 1/2 AA so I can really really sympathize. Have you tried Massey shoes (catalogue) or Auditions (catalogue) or gone to qboutlet.com ? Or go directly to NewBalance. I swear by them when it comes to athletic shoes.

My left one has always been flat. But when I was born they thought I might be club footed. Had to wear braces for my ankles when I was two so I'd be able to walk. Then I had to wear cookies in the arches of my orthopedic looking shoes when I was in grade school. My right arch recovered, but my left arch was always flat. But I developed celiac disease...

I've used pepto, Wallyworld gas-x, ginger tea helps, chamomile tea does too. Also just curling up with a heating pad helps the tummy to relax some. Hope you're better soon (My tummy just gave me a sympathy twinge - it feels for you!)

How Long Does It Take For Skin To Clear Up?
nettiebeads replied to carrielynn's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
How long was he sick before going gluten-free? Even miniscule amounts can trigger full bore reactions. And it takes time. poor little guy. Have you asked your pediatrician if a low dose antihistime might help? Something to take the edge off while he's healing, since the skin can be itchy while it's healing even though the dh itself has cleared up, or... -
I'm new to this forum, but not to celiac. Yes, you can develop celiac later in life. I'm 46, developed celiac at 36 or so. Just lately it has really really started to bug me, constantly monitoring food, not eating something (just in case) and the ENDLESS reading of food labels. I've done lots of internet reading on this, and stress seems to be the trigger...
