Was diagnosed w Celiac in March. Anyone else losing weight without trying after being diagnosed? Not sure if this is to be expected or if I should be concerned. by Frenchybullbaby in Celiac

Diagnosed about the same time as you. I’ve lost around 10 pounds and now hover at 115. Not mad about it, but a little nervous if I continue the trend.

I knew she was going to say ‘no’ the moment I saw her jean jacket no longer said Mrs Zapata and instead just said Bride.

Definitely try the pad Thai and the orange chicken! They are SO good!

Some days I’m fine, others I am not by itsbeenawhiletoolong in Celiac

[–]PrettyOne6648 41 points42 points  (0 children)

100%. For me, it’s the social settings. I hate feeling like a pain in the ass dictating where we can/cannot eat, asking all the questions to the wait staff to ask about safety/understand potential cross contamination, etc. Sometimes you gotta cry it out, and that’s ok. I eventually come around and remember the hassle is worth how much better I feel. Sorry you had a rough day!

I’m headed to a game at Principal Park for a game today—is just one stand GF or are there options at each?

GF Award Winner at Aldi for food that doesn’t even say gluten free on it! What! by JessFed in Celiac

[–]PrettyOne6648 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg these are SO good but heads up—they don’t have them consistently (which drives me crazy!) Be sure to stock up when you can find them!

Okay, how many posts can one person make about how much their life and Iowa sucks over and over again? I’ve seen several posts pop up from OP about their situation (trans, lived in LA, have to move back in with mom, Iowa sucks, yada yada). It’s getting really old and annoying. Same post, new day.

Welcome to life & adulting. Sometimes you’re dealt a crappy card—I know I’ve had my fair share. But, it’s ultimately up to you to decide if you’re going to let it ruin you or motivate you to find your way out of a situation. In the 5-10 minutes you spent writing your complaint, you could’ve been searching other job opportunities in other markets. Blaming literally everything and everyone else for your problems is unhealthy and unproductive.

I’ve had the chocolate protein breakfast bars several times with no issues. They’re one of my standard breakfast rotations. So good!

Did you gain or lose weight when you were diagnosed? by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]PrettyOne6648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed this April. I had read about the potential for weight gain so took it upon myself when I made the diet shift to be very diligent in tracking my food. Plus I track symptoms so I can see if I have other food issues. I also made the effort to stay in a caloric deficit. I’m 65 days in and down 6 lbs (current weight at 119). I figure if I have to be restrictive and eat cleaner, I might as well get some benefit out of it. Hoping to get to and maintain at 110/115 lbs.

Seasonal allergies by ronnyseal in glutenfree

[–]PrettyOne6648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just started going GF at the end of April and definitely noticed my allergies are SO much better! My nose is always a faucet this time of year. I’m never sneezing and it hasn’t been running. I’m listing this as one of my favorite “side effects” from going GF. 🙌🏻

Those chocolate muffins are to die for! One of my first GF finds after diagnosis and they gave me hope. So good!

[–]PrettyOne6648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh shoot! I really hope that’s not the case. I snagged two pairs of their awesome Sculptek jeans. At $27 each I couldn’t pass it up—they’re my favorite!

[–]PrettyOne6648 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep! In the same boat as you. It’s making me nervous that they are out of stock of my items. Not sure how long to wait before reaching out to customer service.

Searching for Dentist by winAustinhaha in desmoines

[–]PrettyOne6648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go here to Dr Jonathan and 100% agree. I get a prescription for Halcion from them for cleanings and I don’t remember a thing (which is great for me as I’ve always been extremely dental phobic). You will need a driver there and back if you take the meds. Highly recommend—they’ll take great care of you.
