    does anyone have a list of companies that list all gluten? I know that Kraft and ConAgra are safe. What about others? Thanks so much.

    ARCHIVED My Toes Cramp

    olalisa replied to Joss's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Before my diagnosis and going gluten free, my feet cramped constantly, with the big toe curling up very painfully. I think part of it is vitamin deficiency, but I think it can't be all from that because when I accidentally get glutened now (which is very infrequent, thankfully) I will get foot cramps for a few days. That makes me think that it's possibly...

    this is a great website that includes both prescription and OTC meds: Open Original Shared Link I see that you already have the answer to your Nyquil question, but I thought that this website may help you and others who read this thread in the future. Feel Better, Lisa

    I went to their website a while back and did the online chat with a person there who sent me their official statement that none of the chocolates are safe for someone with gluten intolerance. I wish I had copied it so that you could read it here, but it was pretty clear. for me, the fact the M&M's are gluten free is proof that God still loves me...

    Here's a great site. Open Original Shared Link I hope that helps. Feel better!

    Wow! Sounds like I'm not alone in my sensitivity. I'll try the sensitive skin ones and see how that goes, then take further action if necessary. Thanks, everyone

    Wowzer--sounds yummy--can't wait to try it! THANKS for sharing

    Recently I'm noticing that when I use Bandaids I break out in a VERY itchy rash where the bandaid is. This is something new for me. I had a couple of moles biopsied last week and bandages became a real problem--itchier by the day. I tried Bandaid brand and also Nexcare brand. Does this mean I'm becoming latex sensitive or allergic? Could there be gluten...

    I just noticed that newbie Rook's Mommy has a birthday today-- HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (now go have some gluten free cake!)

    Fiddle-Faddle, Thanks for articulating so well what I was thinking as I read this thread. I felt like Geoff was getting pummelled for his point of view, and was trying to figure out how to say what I thought. You summed it up perfectly--especially the part about feeling like you have a choice some days and not others. I don't think ANY of us would choose...

    I really like the envirokids Frosted Flakes. They're GRRRRRREAT! (seriously)

    I'm right there with ya, Jesse! The first thing I checked after my diagnosis was M&M's and skittles Proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!!
  14. olalisa
    welcome, Jesse! I know how overwhelming it feels when you first get diagnosed. It took me a while to grieve, and sometimes I still tear up a little at pizza commercials. As for "fagels" (that's what I call my "fake bagels") the glutino ones are quite good, as are the kinnikinick (not sure I spelled that right). As for breads, make sure that whatever...

    Thanks so much for all your good suggestions, everyone. AND for your words of encouragement. As Saturday draws closer, I find myself getting more and more excited about the work I'm about to do. I just hope that it can give some families there some hope themselves. Send good thoughts....
  16. olalisa
    Momma Goose, thanks for the encouragement. I really do appreciate it. Those sound like good suggestions. Is McCains oatmeal okay? I haven't had oatmeal since my diagnosis and I REALLY miss it. Where do I find it?

    I agree with Fiddle-Faddle. Understanding the source of the stress and anxiety is the place to start. You might want to try massage therapy for relaxation (I'm a massage therapist so I'm a firm believer in that), and if needed, an anti-depressant. I'm also partial to chocolate. Dark chocolate in moderate doses works wonders for me.

    Hi everyone, I'm leaving Saturday to go "muck out houses" in New Orleans for a week. This means going into houses that haven't been opened since Katrina and taking everything out, including the sheetrock. I'm somewhat nervous about the work we'll be doing, but we'll have respirators, so I'm hoping that will keep me safe in that regard. What I...

    I was so excited when she said that today! I'm going to tivo it next week

    Open Original Shared Link check the link above. This really is a great substitution! Also, this site has lots and lots of great gluten-free recipes--enjoy!
  21. olalisa
    Welcome, Noelle! I also had gnawing hunger before my diagnosis. When I accidentally get glutened now, I'll have it again for up to a week. As for the other symptoms, many of yours sound like mine--the low BP, the candida, the dairy intolerance, low energy, anemia and other nutritional deficiencies, the list goes on.... I had some other symptoms that...

    hez, I just found that recipe this weekend and used the cream of mushroom recipe in a casserole. Turned out GREAT! That site has lots of good recipes and tips, by the way. Check it out, everybody!

    I have yet to find any rice cake that I can abide. To quote Bill Cosby when he first tried a rice cake-- "THE AIR IN MY MOUTH TASTES BETTER THAN THIS!"
  24. olalisa
    Yay! I'm so glad you found it! I think the cider is much better than the two gluten free beers that I've tried. They make several varieties-- my store has the granny smith kind and I can't wait to try it:) I just checked the website and they actually have pear and raspberry too...hmmmm....wonder if they're good. They also have, on the website, a direct...

    ARCHIVED Pf Changs

    olalisa replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I've eaten at two PF Changs locations (Raleigh and Durham, NC) and have had great experiences at both. The wait staff seems to understand and I've never gotten sick there. I probably go about once or twice a month. Some of my favorite dishes are the spicy chicken and whatever the shrimp dish is on the gluten free menu--can't remember it at the moment....
