Your comment about the pizza is exactly what I meant! The people who declare its safe to just scrape it off, wipe it off, eat around it....They have no clue and if they are doing that are obviously still damaging their body. They are not clean. That is what I meant about the people who claim it is so easy. Thank you for putting it into words better than...

I read on here daily, but am not the wealth of information most of you are, so I rarely post, however I know this is one place my vent will be understood. So.... People who don't really get how difficult it is to stay gluten free drive me up a wall! "Well, just don't eat bread!" says an aunt, who I know means well, but just doesn't understand. The common...

Yes! That is my biggest complaint! I don't really miss the bread in my meals, but I rarely feel full. Every now and then, I tell my husband I want a steak, baked potato and a vegetable (with a side salad mind you!) just to feel full. That seems to be the only meal that does it for me. Otherwise, I don't feel full, I just quit eating when I am sick...

You guys are so right, I have to totally retrace my steps and think outside the box a little here. Thanks for some good advice about things and for understanding the issues! No one else does.......

1. Sex: Male or Female Female 2. Age: 35 3. How long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease? 1 year 4. Does anyone in your family have celiac disease? No 5. How severe is your celiac disease? Severe enough that I avoid gluten like the plague. 6. Is it difficult to eat out at restaurants or anywhere outside of your home? Yes, and usually not...

I am so frustrated right now I could scream. I was glutened this past weekend, and I can not figure out where. The first sign that hits me is my skin, it gets red and itchy, and from there the joint aches, brain fog, etc. continues on....So I know that's what the problem is, and I can not figure it out. I have been racking my brain for 2 days trying to...

I find that I get paranoid too. DH is working out of town for the summer, and I don't usually think twice about being home alone with the kids, but after being glutened, I jump at every little noise, and lay in bed at night with my heart pounding. I also have no control over my emotions. Last Sunday, after being accidently glutened the day before, I completely...

The last real gluten free meal that I remember enjoying was a pizza with everything on it from my favorite local pizza joint, with a side order of onion rings. However, I say remember because....one night I was having a particularly bad day, was really pissy about a lack of choices in my personal menus and went out with my hubby for a couple of drinks...

I crave a pizza too, and every now and then I think about a chicken sandwich from Burger King, why I don't know. But I agree with the comment that what I miss most is the options. I miss being able to order anything I want, wherever I want and not think twice about it. I miss the options more than anything.

I certainly don't know the medical reasons for it either, but I kind of assumed that the whole grain sort of acted as a filler. For me that was usually pasta or bread, and that is filling. Much more so than an apple. I can honestly say, since I have gone gluten-free about a year ago, I have not felt that feeling of, oh I am so stuffed. You are not alone...

I practically live on Honey and Almond Rice Chex. It is easy, quick, and even if I wasn't gluten free I would still love it. Unfortunately it doesn't stick with you all that long, so I always have to bring a snack for the 10:00 hour...yogurt, string cheese, or more Rice Chex to just munch on without milk.

I went to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist for almost this exact problem. I always had sinus issues, a lot of drainage, etc., however would notice the feeling that my throat was closing up on me and a lot of the same symptoms that you explained. My doc referred me to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, and he declared I had food allergies. The test was...

and I have to ask, does anyone just not care about food anymore? I honestly couldn't care less what I eat, it is simply something that I have to do to stop from starving. The foods that I enjoyed are all off limits, and so far the gluten-free breads and buns that I have tried have been awful. I have only been gluten-free for a little under a year,...
