This site has periodically been posted here but just to remind: Open Original Shared Link There aren't a ton of them but there's an Outback not far from me and I want to visit it just to support them for having a gluten-free menu. PS how are they, never been there?

If you go to Outback, be prepared with elastic-band pants and some lipitor. I'm really glad it has a gluten-free menu, but it is definitely not the place to go for healthy eating! My boyfriend tells me he's always thought of it as a treat (not one I can have, though, because I can't digest red meat) rather than a default dinner option.

Well thanks for the warning. :o They do have salmon and grilled chicken but if you don't care for red meat the smell of it can be icky.

I also have the unfortunate disadvantage of despising salmon, and being unable to eat greasy/cheesy food. I think Outback and I just don't get along, which shouldn't influence anyone else's feelings about it!

Well now I know, if I dine there I WON'T run into you. :D

I read your happy news on the other thread. Congratulations! Have you picked out your dress and the location? Weddings are fuuunnn!

Ha! Right - if we ever dine together, we can go to Bonefish! Where I will not order salmon!

Thanks for the congratulations! We're going to get married in my parents' back yard. It's really beautiful - my dad loves gardening and has done a great job with it. I haven't picked a dress, but I probably won't go for the traditional white gown, because I don't like tight things (thanks for that bloating, celiac disease!), look pretty washed out in white, and we're getting married outside in Virginia in July, so I don't want to be sweating the whole time in something that doesn't breathe. We'll see! I did already line up a caterer who's thrilled to do a gluten-free wedding, so, yay! She doesn't do cakes, though, so hopefully some gluten-free cake tasting is in the future. :)

Oh that sounds beautiful. Not to mention the price is right. :D Keep me posted, okay, it'll be a special time for you planning it, and doing all the cake-tastings. Hey, you may need to do a LOT of research.

Definitely! Cakes are serious business, so multiple comparisons are only sensible!

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
