    I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner and I am feeling stressed about what to cook. I have always made a traditional bread/sausage dressing for my family and they all love it, it is a family favorite. I was just diagnosed with Celiacs last month and just don't want to put myself thru making that dressing this year...I have already heard "can't you just make...

    I learned the wheat free is not gluten free lesson the hard way...I found these wonderful gooey wheat free cookies in the gluten free area of our tiny local health food store, Barbara's raspberry fig bars. My husband and I ate several of them...what a mistake...within an hour I was in misery and when I checked the label there was indeed gluten. I will...

    I learn something new about this disease every day. It is so interesting and helpful to me to know that the antibodies can remain in your system for a year. It makes sense that you can have bad days even after starting a gluten-free lifestyle. Not that I want to lower my expectations of feeling well, but at least I will be more hopeful that on days that...

    I think that I am beginning to relax a little and calm down after those first few weeks after learning I had Celiac disease. I am a true believer that natural whole fresh foods are best but I am still reading labels to replace all my condiments and things like that. I've cleaned out my cupboards and given away my glutenated foods, so my cupboards are now...

    I've started this post several times and deleted it thinking that as a new person here maybe I should keep my thoughts to myself. I said in a previous post this board has been a real source of support and hope. I was disappointed that one negative post from Kassianne was able to change the original helpful and optimistic mood of this Newbie thread. I have...

    Hi Everyone, I live in Cookson on Lake Tenkiller which is in in NE Oklahoma. I just found a support group that meets in Tulsa at St. Francis Hospital and hope to attend one of their meetings soon...I really want to find someone to just talk to about food, recipes and living thru this that will not be critical or just think I am nuts...I am going to post...

    As a newbie I so appreciate all the responses to my first posts, you have no idea how much it meant...the day I found this board I was at the depths of depression and confusion and I was very sick, weak and fatigued, I actually sat here with tears running down my face when I started reading...I not only got support and hope from the new posts, but I have...

    ARCHIVED Eating Out

    Sissy replied to kari's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Kari, I hope that this wonderful, thoughtful man was rewarded tenfold. This relationship sounds like something interesting...always nice to have someone who is understanding, but the bonus is that he cooks too. Sounds like a keeper to me. Sissy

    Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions, I will certainly be more careful and informed the next time I eat in a restaurant..I would do anything to avoid any more days like the days since I was glutened. It just happened so fast and it was a gluten monster of a reaction. Sissy

    Just the thought of a deliberate yummy food binge scares the heck out of me, I am still suffering the effects of being accidentally glutened last Saturday night at the Red Lobster..I have since discovered the culprit was the sour cream, or now I realize it was only a sour cream wannabe..after questioning Red Lobster health line 3 times about it..finally they...

    I have been so, so sick since the end of my meal at the Red Lobster on Saturday. I should have taken a clue when I told the waitress that I had to have a gluten free diet, she replied OK, then I asked her if she knew what that meant and she said NO! So I explained that I could not have grains, she thought I said greens...sounds like a SNL sketch...I thought...

    Yesterday I went to the book store to look for a Celiacs book and found this wonderful little manual..it is one of those yellow and black books that are written for so many different subjects, but the last thing I expected to find was "Living Gluten Free for Dummies". It is written by Danna Korn, her son was diagnosed in 1991 and as she said in the book...

    Creative Soul, You are one step farther than I am, I am still trying to accept the whole thing and make sense of some of it. I am 64 years old and this is the first allergy...sensitivity or reaction I have ever had to anything that I was aware of..looking back for a few years I realize that there were signs there I just wasn't picking up on them...I would...

    Thank you all for your encouragement and support. Yesterday was a nightmare, I feel weak and tired to begin with but I went grocery shopping and by the time I got thru reading every single label on every product I bought I was exhausted and a wreck physically and emotionally and at times even wanted to cry...I know this pity party will be over some day...

    I had no idea that externally used products containing gluten could be a problem, heck, I had no idea that those products even contained gluten...Like Creative Soul I too have been reading like a fiend on this board trying to absorb as much as I can in a short time..there is so much to know, but fortunately you all seem to be very generous in passing along...

    Lonewolf, 4getgluten and 2kids4me, thanks so much for your encouragement. It is a confort to hear it should get easier. Right now it is kind of a shock and it is confusing to me. I have always been into healthy eating...always making sure that any bread was whole grain and all my cereals were whole grain wheat, oat, etc...I have to rethink a lot of the...

    Hi, I am a newbie on your board. I am anxiously waiting for my tests results to come back. I am having some problems with depression and coming to the realization that I have Celiac disease. I am almost positive that I do...I have had symtoms for several years and did not know what was wrong with me. My aunt lived with me when she was diagnosed in the...

    Hi everyone, I'm Sissy, a newbie. Please don't take this wrong, but I am so happy to see so many of you here. I have had symptoms for several years and just did not know what it was. My aunt is a diagnosed Celiac, I knew this and it just did not occur to me. One day a few weeks ago after about 2 weeks into a particulary vicious edisode it hit me like...
