    Dear Kassandra, Something else I do is get those little dot stickers in the stationary department. I stick them on my items so everyone knows not to bother my stuff. I told them, if you see a dot, then do not touch it, because I will know! Hell hath no fury like a Celiac scorned. I also saved some jam jars or some baby food jars a while...

    Dear sickchick, Actually, gluten can be found in some coffees. Luckily, Folgers is safe. I love Folgers! All of their coffees, including those delicious Capuccinos are safe! They are not dairy-free, though. I use the instant classic roast. I love my coffee, too. Going without it is hard. I tried to switch to green tea, but...

    Dear tom, There might be another kind of protein we do not know about. I wonder if I could do a bit of research to see. It could not hurt! I am sure I can find something. Cows and goats are probably similar with their milks for some reason. Riding the rails might not be so bad! I hope it worked out well for you. The positive attitude...

    Dear sickchick, That sounds delicious! I put that in my gluten-free food file. Is mascarpone low in lactose? I do not tolerate it well. I am going to get some Lactaid to use sparingly. It would be nice to eat ice cream once in a great while. This tart sounds like it is company special! Sincerely, ...

    Dear Dahlia and sickchick, Thank you so much for the compliments! I just want to make this as easy as possible. This is a huge adjustment. I do not want other people to have to spend an eternity on the phone every single day during the week talking to manufacturers, and the rest maniacally cleaning and cooking. I did that the first...

    Dear tom, I think I understand what you mean. (Donna, hold me I am scared, I am understanding tom! ) There is a possibility that cow's milk is the only kind of dairy with casein. Goat's milk may still have the sugar in it, however. Lactose could be an issue still. I agree that makes sense. Dear Andrea, I hope the...

    Dear noglutee4kt, I had my gallbladder removed four years ago. I had terrible gas afterward. That is probably what the pain is from. The wounds actually only stung a bit, it was the gas that was so uncomfortable! Thank goodness you got that thing out, it sounded like it was causing as much trouble as my gallbladder had been. ...

    Dear JNBunnie1, Is there any way that DH can mimic acne? I have it on my face, down my neck, on my chest, and it itches so bad that I actually scratch it until it bleeds at times. The more you scratch, the more it itches. The less you scratch, the more it itches. Sometimes my back feels like I am being poked with needles. ...

    Dear Rachel, My relatives are very inconsiderate, too! My parents often get Chinese takeout, and it always makes me want to cry. I also miss cheesecake, because I am also lactose intolerant. However, I could get some Lactaid. My father says it is too expensive, and that is crap. I am freakin' getting some! He sits there and eats pie, cookies...

    Dear Amber, Maltodextrin is safe as long as it is a product in the U.S. In Canada, it can be derived from wheat. Soy sauce is something I have to use, too. Chinese food is my lifeblood! LaChoy is safe, and so if Wal-Mart's Great Value Brand. I know all Durkee liquid colorings are safe. Many sodas are safe, too. Diet Rite is one of them....

    Dear Dahlia, I think we all feel this way! It is everywhere! You have to be scared of everything! It is not fair we have to freak out about foods and make-up while the rest of the world gets to shove whatever into their mouths and not worry about reading labels on hair spray or toothpaste. Gluten truly does seem to be stalking us, because...

    Dear JudyRN, Welcome to the forum! We are so happy to have another member! Your son is very valued in our community. You would be so proud of him! If you would like a copy of my beginner's list, just let me know! I will give it to you! Sincerely, ...

    Dear Kassandra, My parents are the same way. That is why I have to take my cookware, dish towel, utensils, and anything else I need or use and put them in one of those large Rubbermaid tubs. They seal airtight, and I keep it in the living room. I got a great stainless steel set at Wal-Mart for $22.88. It has a Dutch oven, two saucepans with...

    Dear JNBunnie1, I am sorry to hear you got glutened! I get a severe reaction, too. I get violently ill from even the most microscopic speck of the crap. I break out in a sweat, get terribly nauseated, start shaking, sometimes my hands go numb, have the sudden need for a bowel movement, and start getting horrible dry heaves that make me...

    Dear goldyjlox, It could be any of the things you mentioned as far as if you were actually glutened. You have to check everything from your hair stuff, to lotion, to cross-contamination from your kitchen. I have a shared kitchen as well. This is very difficult to manage. I actually had to get a plastic tub and put my cookware and utensils in...

    NoGluGirl replied to MLynn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Dear MLynn, My friend on here has Benign Positional Vertigo. Celiac probably caused it. Jacqui has had some major balance difficulties. I would not be surprised if the Celiac caused in you as well. This disease is notorious for causing all kinds of issues, neurological, gastrointestinal, and it can also result in nutritional deficiencies. Have...

    Dear Dahlia, Welcome to the forum! I have a present for you! I have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming. I went through this with myself eleven months ago. You spend most of your day cooking and cleaning obsessively. The rest you are on the phone with reps from companies trying to find out what is safe. I decided to save you...

    Dear Susie, I did not mention in my earlier post something that tom just reminded me of. Peanuts and pistachios are very moldy! They must be avoided. I do not think Valencia peanuts are even allowed, although they do not contain the aflatoxins like peanuts grown elsewhere. This is frustrating for me, due to the fact I am terribly addicted to...

    Dear tom, It sounds like the lunch with your former trainee went well! That sounds nice. At least if you decide to work there in the future, you will know someone. There is always some comfort in knowing another person in a new environment. Even if you do not end up working there, at least you got to touch base with someone. I am...

    Dear tom, Now you know we are teasing! Well, except for the chocolate being better than men part! I like trivia as well. Still, I cannot believe you do not own a tennis racket! What the heck? I have had an Agassi racket for nearly ten years! Dear Donna, We are way off base with Rachel gone. Where is she? Have you...

    Dear tom, How do you know I was not alive then? It might have happened during my past life for all you know! Besides, you have no excuse for not acknowledging that. You were alive at the time! You know what else? Bobby Riggs was not 70 at the time. I am sure of that. Carla has got you on this one! How do we know you will not...

    Dear tom, ROTFLMAO! Donna might just go to Starbucks instead! When chocolate calls, we answer! Chocolate is better than men for so many reasons. You can always depend on chocolate to make you happy. Men on the other hand, typically disappoint. My Lyme test is $190, so you know. Oh, and regarding your comment on women in tennis...

    Dear Carla, I would never have thought about Nystatin for the carpet! I wish I had! I will keep that in mind. You never know when your house could get a Candida infestation! That is a good idea! It is like I Love My Carpet, but for killing yeast! Limes help with detox as well? Great! I love limes! Fillet of sole with garlic is delicious...

    Dear tom, I really avoid the canned fruit most of the time. I rarely eat it. It is only a last resort when I do not have any other gluten-free carb source. This is almost never. Maybe once a month I do this. Corn syrup makes my father feel icky, too. I have fresh fruit when I can. I am careful about it, though. It is important...

    Dear Donna, I am phobic about bacteria as well! I am incredibly scared of food poisoning. My body is in bad enough shape right now! I can see why you would be nervous about it as well. You just do what you can to protect yourself. Let us know how the chicken does when you get more and are able to eat it. I would not have eaten...
