    I just realized I forgot to let everyone know how the gluten-free brownie worked out. I did not get sick and I am very sensitive. I get very sick from cross contamination so that does not appear to have been the case this time. I say this time because I do have to agree that the risk of cc is probably extremely high and although I am very excited about the...

    Maybe I am just sleep deprived. My husband and I actually refer to gluten as "poison" cuz that is how I feel when I eat gluten, like I have been poisoned.

    Hi, I was just curious. I always experience extreme gi symptoms and brain fog when glutened. I went to dinner two days ago and had terrible brain fog after and all day yesterday but no gi symptoms. I am not sure that it was gluten since I had no gi symptoms but I really feel like the brain fog was the same. Can I have still been glutened even without...

    Ok so I just made a total scene at Starbucks. I went with a friend from work and I was standing near the baked good section (which I usually try to ignore) when I saw a sign that said "gluten free". I was so excited I grabbed my friend and yelled "OMG!! They have gluten-free brownies!!!!!!!!!!" The cashier looked at me like I was a crazy person and asked...

    Hi! Welcome to the forum! I love whole foods. I am there almost every day. I would be careful about some of their prepared food. I have gotten sick on more than one occasion from the prepared foods. One time they swore up and down that their eggplant did not have bread crumbs and after three people went to find out and they had already packaged my food...

    Hi, Maybe someone can help. I just went off birth control three months ago. Before going on birth control my periods were extremely irregular. (6 weeks, then 2 weeks, then 3 weeks then 5 weeks etc) I was diagnosed with Celiac 6 months ago and have been gluten-free ever since. I had read that Celiac can lead to irregular periods so I was hoping that...

    Hi, Maybe someone can help me. Is there any way to tell whether you are terribly sick from gluten or if you have a stomach virus. I really never run a fever, so that would not be an indication. My stomach is KILLING ME today. There is a stomach virus going around my office but the symptoms of the virus are the same as being glutened. (terrible cramping...

    I really appreciate everyone's feedback. I don't think I will trust my husband to cook for me until I see that he actually gets this. I really thought he did but I guess I was wrong. I think people in our lives sometimes resent all of the accomodations they have to make for us. I feel like my entire family seems to have completely forgotten how sick I used...

    Hi, I have really bad brain fog today so I hope this post makes sense. We have a strainer from back when we were having regular pasta. We had been using it to make rice pasta (for the past 6 months) and it seemed fine. Last week my husband made regular pasta in the strainer and even though the strainer had been through the dishwasher after I used it...

    Thank you so much everyone for all of your advice! Johnsoniu I laughed when I read this since this is Friday and every Friday my boss brings in bagels for the office. The thing that kills me is that no matter how many times I have told people about the Celiac there are still people that offer me a bagel every Friday. When I remind them they so "oh yeah! I...

    Hi, My birthday is on Monday. I was diagnosed in October so this is my first gluten-free birthday. I usually make a big deal out of my birthday and start planning something a month in advance but this year I can't get into it. My friends at work already told me they are not getting me a gluten-free cake (they get cakes for everyone's birthday) since...

    Hi, We have a few boxes of regular pasta left over and my husband made some for himself a few days ago. We put the strainer through the dishwasher and when I took it out it seemed clean. I made some rice pasta for myself yesterday and today I feel awful. I keep thinking it must be my imagination since we did put the strainer through the dishwasher...

    Hi Moscow, I would try to make absolutely sure you were not accidentally still eating foods containing gluten or are getting the brain fog from cross-contamination. It took me a few months to really understand what I could and could not eat. There is a great book called "The Gluten Free Bible" which goes into great detail regarding what you can...

    I guess it could be cross contamination and I could stop buying lunch entirely and always bring my lunch. I am already at the point where I virtually never go out to eat I don't want to get to the point where I never eat food prepared by anyone else for fear of cross contamination. I honestly don't know what to do.

    Hi, I am hoping someone can help. I am generally extremely careful about what I eat. I am probably a little overly cautious about being glutened. I never go out to eat anymore unless it's a gluten free restaurant or a restaurant with a gluten free menu. (I have had too many bad experiences with too many clueless waiters) I either prepare my own food...

    Hi, Maybe it's just me. I have never been great at swallowing pills but all of these pills seem gigantic. Has anyone found one that is either easy to swallow or chewable? Let me know!!!

    I'm a twin too! I actually came on here to post the exact same question! Must be a twin thing I have been gluten-free since October and I feel great but I was also not sure if it was too soon. Good luck!!!!

    Hi, I always have a very strong intestinal reaction to glutening but I have started to notice that I am in a total haze after eating gluten. I have also noticed that I am having problems with my hands. I was glutened yesterday and in addition to having an awful stomach ache, I feel very foggy and I keep dropping things. It was very difficult trying...

    Hi, I would like to go to Newport, RI for my anniversary but I didn't know if there was anywhere that would be better to stay (gluten-free b and b?) or to go and eat. We have not taken a vacation since I have been diagnosed a few months ago since I tend to get glutened pretty easily. Let me know!

    It's almost Valentine's Day and my husband used to get me Godiva chocolate for Valentine's Day but I have been afraid to eat it ever since I was diagnosed in October. Is any of it gluten-free?

    Hi, I am hoping someone can help me out. I know when you have Celiac your stomach can have trouble absorbing nutrients because of the damage caused by Celiac. Is it important that I supplement my diet to make up for any vitamin/nutrient defiencies caused by Celiac? I posted this before but I didn't hear from anyone so I wanted to try again. Can...

    Hi, This weekend I went to a local store that specializes in gluten-free products. They had a vitamin salesperson on staff who pretty much scared me to death about Celiac related disorders. He pretty much made it sound like I was virtually guaranteed to get all sorts of awful disorders if I did not take a slew of vitamins and supplements. Is there any...

    I sympathize on the pizza and chinese food. Yesterday my mom invited me out to, get this, The international house of PANCAKES. PANCAKES! Then proceeded to be completely offended when I would not go. Then my dad calls me up and tells me they feel I am being overly restrictive and is all this really necessary. I asked him if he does not remember how sick I...

    You guys have all made wonderful suggestions. Pot Luck Update: I have been looking on Epicurious.com for flourless recipes since ever since I went gluten-free my mother in law gives me grief about dessert every time I see her (I used to bake constantly and she refuses to eat modified recipes) I found a recipe for Flourless Chocolate cake and I guess...

    Hi, I don't know if this has ever happened to anyone else. We had a pot luck at work. My friends at work were incredibly nice about my Celiac and one of the girls even used gluten-free pasta for her mac and cheese. In spite of all this I got very sick from lunch. Since people had gone to so much trouble not to gluten me, I didn't want to make people...
