Okay, so I'm new to this forum, and I've found it super helpful. I've been gluten free for 6 months now, and dairy free for three years.
Anyways, while reading through this site, I almost need a translator! Here are some things I have come across..
g.f. which I assume means Gluten Free
CC..cross contamination?
D
DD
DH
...
others?

Ex: "There was some cc and now I'm feeling serious D" or "my dd was glutened"

Want to let me in the loops so I know what i'm reading? Thanks a bunch.. ;)

D = diarrhea
C = constipation
cc = cross-contamination or cross-contact
DD = Dear Daughter
DS = Dear Son
DW = Dear Wife
DH could have the usual chat meaning of Dear Husband, or here it could mean Dermatitis Herpetiformis
g.f. is gluten-free, if you type it without the periods it will change automatically (not a good thing if you meant girlfriend)
c.d. is celiac disease, if you type it without the periods it will change automatically (this can cause confusion if you meant a Compact Disc) :lol:

A couple more that come up often refer to stores:

TJ = Trader Joe's
WF = Whole Foods Market

And don't forget ED (explosive diarrhea, not the other meaning :lol:)

BIL and SIL and MIL --brother, sister and mother-in-law

And then there's the really medical ones -- SLE (lupus); EE (eosinophilic esophagitis), etc. You are probably going to just have to google these ones like a lot of us do :D

Funny I always wondered also and sorta just figured out by the context around it. Didn't know the actual words the abbreviations were for though. :lol:
Me:

DS2(age 7):
celiac disease(positive IgA tTG, no biopsy- 11/2010)

DS1(age 11):
repeated negative bloodwork and negative EGD/biopsy. Started on a gluten free trial(8/2011). He has decided to stay gluten free due to all of the improvements he has experienced on the diet.
