    What grocery stores are you people shopping at? None of the ones I have access to have gluten free specialty type products. I would really appreciate knowing where to shop at!

    Looking back, my first symptom was constipation. Then I would get anemic. I never did get any of the classic symptoms. I found out about celiac when I was researching causes for my mom's death. Her colon had ruptured in three places, and I wanted to know why. Her docs said it was allergies, stress, and smoking. When I looked into intestinal problems...

    I'm the only celiac in my family. Yes, it is hard watching my family eat all of the cookies and cakes that I use to love eating. I am getting to where it doesn't bother me, though. I have a shelf in my cabinet that is just for my food, and I keep snacks there that I enjoy. I have taught my family about celiac, even my teenagers. They have been wonderful...

    Hhmm. When I was a child, it was quite simple. I ate what was prepared, or I got nothing until the next meal. Instead of spoiling him by giving in to his demands, try that. Leave the food available, like in the fridge, but don't fix him anything different. I guess what I am saying is Who is the parent, you or him? Who knows what is best for him, you...

    I get them, and they itch and hurt horribly! Mine always come with a severe allergic reaction to something, so it is not just celiac-triggered. I have to wash my hair every day until the breakout subsides to get relief. Nothing I have tried prevents it.

    I have Celiac and was on Weight Watchers. It was the only plan that let me adjust the food to my needs. It is a very good one for Celiacs that need to lose weight.

    Yep, I had a doctor that told me all of the stuff I read is nonsense and untrue. Now I have a doctor that is glad I take responsibility for my health and research things. Amazing what changing doctors can do!

    In my family, everyone takes turn hosting the Thanksgiving dinner. Every time my turn has come up, my mother had a different excuse for why everyone was going to her house. One time, my house was too small, the next: "no one" would ever drive 45 miles just for a dinner. When my mom did her thing, my family just stayed home and had our dinner. We have...

    I agree with Mariann: I will just have to start taking my own little container with me for leftovers! By doing that, I also will not be filling another landfill with anything!

    Bridget, that is a good point. However, my concern would be the basting done while it is cooking, as bits of the stuffing would have dissolved into the juices. Also, All of the stuffed birds I have seen had extra stuffing packed around the ouotside of the bird, too. I am allergic to poultry and stuffing herbs, so this is not an issue for me. I make a...

    Don't the nutrageous bars have a cookie or wafer in the middle? If they do, then they are a definite "no-no." I really don't know, but they should have a label with the ingredients on them. Although some candy comes in great big bags, so the ingredients are not listed on each individual item!

    EnerG crackers, also made with corn starch and soy flour. These taste like saltines, and are yummy with blackberry jam on them!

    En-R-Gee's pretzels! Made with cornstarch and soy flour, yum yum!

    And avoiding all grain products is a problem because??? I am allergic to most grains, and have no problems with meat and veggies for meals. 0ppm is a goal worth achieving.

    What corn tortillas? At my local Taco Bell, the tortillas are all made of flour.

    I use ground flax instead of eggs in my baking; you could probably use water instead of milk, or try Rice Dream; I just plain avoid everything else I'm allergic to. It makes life much easier than trying to substitute.

    Do you need the test results to feel better about going gluten-free? If you do, then see the gi doc. If you don't, then why waste your money and time?

    "Who can eat fast food without fries?" Me. I don't like the contamination. I learned to eat burgers with no buns, going without fries and onion rings is very easy. As for Burger King's low-carb platters, I refuse to pay $4.29 for a $2.19 burger, just to have them hold the bun off. How dare they penalize me because I have a disease!

    Definitely go to the superintendent. The school staff are being ignorant, and the way they are treating your son is illegal. If you have to, pay a lawyer to speak to the school board about this. Talk to the school board yourself. Take them copies of your son's med reports, and explain to each one individually what is going on. Talk to your doctor, see...

    Thank you, Tiffany! I will keep looking until I find them! Maybe if I ask at my favorite whole foods store, they could order some in. My husband asked me when I was going to my store again, and would I please go on his day off, he would like to see my store. It makes it easier to handle, knowing that my hubby isn't mad at me for driving 40 miles one way...

    Perhaps we even live better and healthier because we do not eat all of the overprocessed foods. It is not that hard to eat gluten-free, it is not wanting to give up the conveniences of eating wheat that is hard. Let's face it, bread makes a great disposable plate. Put hamburger and a salad on it, and call it a meal. After everything I have been through...

    Do you have some brand names for us? If I go into the store and ask for natural charcoal, will they look at me like I just escaped from the sanitarium? Will they get out the overripe produce just in case I turn out to be a comedienne? Does it burn like Kingsford? Or will I have to listen to my husband rant and rave while he's pouring a can of lighter...

    Food isn't my only issue. When I was 12, I was diagnosed via blood test and xrays with Rheumatoid arthritis. Now I am 40, and the Rheumatoid factor was not in my blood, but the osteoarthritis factor was. It leads me to believe that I have both, since I do have symptoms of both. My doctor says no, it is impossible to have both. Is it really? The treatments...

    I needed this today, too. I get hurt when my "friends" make Sunday dinner dates at Pizza Hut, then tell me that I'm not being sociable when I don't go. I get angry when I read the soup labels in the grocery store, they have chicken, wheat, or rice in them, none of which I can have. I struggle to eat my burger wrapped in wax paper while whoever I'm having...

    Rolls, stuffing, and pies are the only things not gluten-free at my Thanksgiving table, so I just don't eat them. Due to allergies, the rolls are the only thing that I have eaten before that I cannot have now. My family is good about it, they are careful not to cross-contaminate me. I don't think they like listening to me complain about not feeling very...
