Thanks, everyone, for your views. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone in this.
On another note, I downloaded the radio show on Celiac called "Gut Reaction," from Audibles.com & gave it a listen. It's very moving & powerful, but left me confused. Everyone at the end of the show was saying that the gluten-free diet was a like a miracle cure & that they feel so much better. I've been on the diet now about a year, as strictly as possible, & although I've seen a decline in bowel problems & migraines, I still have a lot of other problems, like joint/muscle pain & fatigue. I definitely cannot call the gluten-free diet a miracle cure, but it's certainly helped some.

There's a Mexican fast food chain in LA called El Pollo Loco. They grill their chicken right in front of you, with no added bread crumbs or flour. I recommend them.

Excellent! I live in HB, and know where Spark is.

Hey Tifanny...I grew up in HB but now live in Virginia. I've heard that the city has undergone a lot of development in the last decade since I left...

Yesterday I bought some mascara by Loreal "Panoramic Curl", applied it, & by the end of the day my eyes were very irritated. I got all of it off of me, but my eyes were killing me all night long, they felt like sand was in them. Today, my eyes are two big puffy balls. I look terrible. I am glad I tried this stuff out now. I'm trying to find make up to wear to my wedding in June & I can rule this out! Dont know if it contained any gluten, but it's definitely not for the allergic.
Just thought I'd pass that on...

Jill...I'm going to Yellowstone for my honeymoon & was interested in learning about some gluten-free restaurants there?
Thank you!
