I've only been on the diet for a little over a month, but I hope that I can maybe help with some suggestions. For breakfast I have found some gluten-free corn cakes that are super thin and light. I spread strawberry jam on them and eat them like I used to eat toast. Then I take a container of yogurt and a piece of fruit with me to work to eat during the...

I am new to this diet, but I have a question. I hope that it doesn't sound silly. These products create reactions in some people based on the gluten in them or the gluten that they have been contaminated with. So, what I'm wondering is if one person eats a product that causes them to have a gluten reaction, yet the next person doesn't have a reaction (and...

I am also currently reading Dr. Greene's book. I ordered it the day that I was diagnosed with Celiac because even though I had found a TON of information on here about the diet and gluten, I wanted to know more about the actual disease, its consequences, etc. This book is doing a very good job of teaching me just what exactly this disease is that I've been...

May I hop onto this thread and chime in about how great my GI is? I have read on here about people who can't get their doctors to listen to them and they continue to go to them with these symptoms but can't find any relief. That's what going to my primary care phsyician is like. However, my gastroenterologist is wonderful! The first appointment I had with...

I am O+, but my parents and both of my sisters are all A+.

Thank you so much for the websites! The next time that I get up to Buffalo I might have to check some of those places out. The unfortunate thing is that I only get up there once a year because it's an hour and a half drive just to get there. I love living out in the country, but there's nothing out here! lol Yes, isn't Wegman's wonderful? Since being put...

Thanks for the welcome, everybody! I really appreciate it. Yes, I do feel very lucky to have been diagnosed so quickly. It wasn't until I was reading about Celiac that I realized that so many people go undiagnosed for such long periods of time. ravenwoodglass- Nope, I didn't grow up in the Finger Lakes, but I did attend Keuka College. I still have friends...

I didn't know where to post my introduction, so since this is the meeting room I thought that it might fit in here just fine. I have been lurking around the message board since the beginning of July when my gastroenterologist first mentioned the term Celiac. I had been really sick since February of this year when I came down with a stomach virus. It seemed...

I'm fairly new here, though I have been lurking for the last couple of weeks. I didn't want to register until I had my official diagnosis. I was actually lucky that my doctor discovered fairly quickly what was wrong with me (which seemed like a miracle after being so sick for so long). I felt so lost after having the phrase 'Celiac Disease' handed to me with...

Thanks so much for starting this topic! I have to admit that I've been lurking here since I first heard the term 'Celiac disease' a couple of weeks ago. The one thing that I've said over and over is that my one friend just doesn't get it. She makes comments to me that make it sound like it's a diet that I choose to be on and that if I cheat then there's not...
