I just looked up what your diet is gonna have to consist of. That's horrible!

I feel so Sorry
fOr
You.

[TerryE]

Oh, Teri, that's awful. I hope you can at least get the symptoms under control. I feel bad for you, dearie. Good luck.

[Teriw]

Thanks guys. I eat ALOT of Breads and Pasta too and I just found out I can't have Hot dogs! WTF! Can't find anything in the house to eat right now. Gonna have to start buying my own groceries which = less books.

[srboone]

Just take care of yourself, Teri. It can happen to any of us...

[Teriw]

No wonder I was scared to eat anything, pretty well anything I eat was killing me. lol. Mom thought I was exaggerating n kept making suggestions n I kept saying I can't eat that...pretty well everything she kept telling me to eat has gluten in it. GO MOM! lol. I told her last night if he tells me I have Ciliac disease that i'd rather shoot myself. Any of you Americans got a gun I can borrow. lol. Anyway I am hungry and even more afraid to eat than before...same pain but now I KNOW what I shouldnt eat and its EVERYTHING

[Dan Hocker]

Luckily they make a lot of Gluten Free replacements, which are (from what I hear) pretty good. My one friend swears by gluten free pasta.

[Teriw]

I'll have to get my mom to try gluten free pasta. We eat ALOT of pasta...and chicken. Iunno but both of those things your pretty well guaranteed to see in my house twice a week at least. Thankfully Chicken is Gluten free or i'd die. Unfortunatlely the chicken I really like is Breaded and fried...I am so upset. and I am still starving. lol. I haven't eaten yet today because I was scared to after yesterdays pain. now I just don't know what to eat. Special foods are hard to get around here. Does this explain why Rice crispie squares are my WORST fear? lol. We do have a Pizza shop that offers a gluten free crust. I'll have to check that out. I'm sure it cost more though. I feel like this is going to be expensive all around. I am very glad I live in canada and that my job has a medical plan.

A friend of mine has the same thing. Fortunately there are a lot of restaurants out here that have gluten free menus. I've also seen gluten free cook books.

[peteOcha]

Yeah, have a friend who has this as well. Actually, once you work out your menu its not all that bad. There are many replacement foods and youll start feeling better!

[Grant Wootton]

Really sorry to hear the news Teri - keep on punchin' mate (your sass'll keep you on top of it)

[Teriw]

Theres no gluten in hamburger anyway. Although Mom does use crackers as most people do but I just meant it as far as spaghetti because I know she won't switch. We don't have Bob's Remeal here...havent heard of em. I was in the store today and we really dont have much In gluten free except for the naturally gluten free stuff like fruit, veggies, meat, potatoes, That kind of stuff.

Everytime I quit something ,Teri (smoking, coffee, etc.) it was the first month that was the problem. After that, the new routine kicked in. Just take it one day at a time until then. And remember, you can Always start a new thread:

Yup, all it takes is some time. You get used to it and then it becomes routine.
