    I hope that the tests can be scheduled very quickly so you can feel better sooner.

    I don't even bother to give it a name or accurate description to someone new. I simply explain that wheat, oats, rye and barley will make me very ill. Most people assume it is an allergy, which is ok. I will answer any further questions anyone may have. My family, co-workers, and friends receive the details.

    Angie, You might consider calling each of you hotels and ask microwave access is available. We will be going to Yosemite in April with no kitchen facilities. I asked about access to microwave and the hotel explained that while none was available in the hotel room there would be a microwave I could use at the food court or the Yosemite grocery store....

    Below is the website for Chick-fil-a "Plan a trip" Works just like Mapquest but retrives all the Chick-fil-a restuarants between two places. Open Original Shared Link Consider taking a hard cooler with you. We always travel by car with one. Our cooler has wheels. I have found that packing individual prefrozen meals works well in tupperware. One...

    The hot meal below is only meal I think my husband, who knows almost nothing about cooking, could put together: Costo pre-cooked gluten free chicken (Only use if chicken marked gluten free, they were when I bought one last week) Baked Potatoes Salad It's not quite homecooked but its the thought that counts. I think I'll try lonewolf's chicken...

    I would add rice bread and Gluten Free Bars (i.e. Enjoy Life, Glutino) packed in your suitecase when you leave. Ask the airline if there will be milk for coffee on the plane. If you can drink milk you can bring along gluten free cereal and eat it from one of the drink cups. I am not sure what restrictions you have on liquids. I bring a 2 oz bottle...

    Welcome lunches are not the norm where I work. Below are a couple of thoughts for your consideration: 1) Contact the departments' OA (Office Administrator aka secretary) and ask although I expect you'll will have to explain why you need to know. The OA should be able to find out. 2) Have the names of several safe restaurants in the area available...

    Find a new doctor. This one is not well informed. I had no symptoms until I was 20. I was very lucky to receive a proper diagnosed in only 9 months.

    I have been telling people I can't eat wheat, oats , rye, or barley for the last 28 years. I explain that it will make me very sick. Most of the time people think it is an allergy and that's ok. The only people who end up with the explanation of celiac and gluten are friends, family and co-workers. By trail and error I have found this to work the best...

    I agree everything with Momma Goose said. I have a Scharffen Berger Milk Chocolate Bar in front of me. It is not marked gluten free but the company confirmed by e-mail that all their chocolate is gluten free.

    I eat generally eat Yoplait. If I am at Wild Oats I will buy the Wallaby yogurt. Below is the information of gluten from Wallaby's web site: Wallaby Yogurt Does your yogurt contain any of the following: gluten, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, or soybeans? Wallaby yogurt does not contain any gluten, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts...

    I live in Irvine. I can be contacted by sending a PM. celiac.com and celiac.org both have listings for local support groups.

    I eat them about once a month without issues.

    Congratulations. Celiacs have healthy babies all the time. Listen to your body. Fat was giving me a lot of gas so I had to temporarily eliminate high fat foods it. Yep, Gluten Free, low fat and 2,000 calories a day.

    Although specialty cereals I like Perky's Nutty Rice(NOT the Nutty Flax) and Nu-World Foods Amaranth Cereal Snaps - Cinnamon (NOT regular).

    Congratulations. Below is how I handle and view the world of office work: I pack my lunch with two blue ices and keep it under my desk (I don't want to be obligated to clean the refrigerator). Also, everything in my lunch is in either a container, a plastic ziplock bag or in it's original wrapping. I also bring snacks. I eat at my desk, but this is...

    Below is the url to find a Wild Oats store. Wild Oats has a good selection of gluten free food. I don't know if the stores listed in Illinois are anywhere near where you are staying but it is worth a try to look. Open Original Shared Link I have also located stores with gluten free food by going to the internet sites that specialize in gluten free...

    Below is my list of standby lunches when I don't have any leftovers: Tuna, Cheese, heated in the microwave on corn tortillas, rice cake or gluten free bread Pacific Foods soup or chili, add rice cakes, chips or rice (www.pacificfoods.com), check their website for gluten free products, Peanutbutter and jelly on rice cake or gluten free bread Ian...

    I have never been but I am interested in the answer. Maybe I'll put it on my place to visit list.

    Just like the rest of the population each individual should decide whether a flu shot is beneficial to their health. After a bad bout of the flu about ten years ago I try (I have missed a couple of years) to get a flu shot each year. Other than a sore arm for a couple of days I have never had a problem. I have also be flu free.

    Hi Shirley, We my family travels on vacation we rent someplace with a kitchen. We have rented condos, cabins and hotel rooms (Marriott Townplace Suites or Marriott Residence Inn). Yes, I have to cook but this works best for us. If we are traveling by car I precook and freeze meals. I have simply do not want to deal with frustation of finding a resturant...

    Over time you living gluten free will become second nature. Eventually it will not bother you to eat differently when you are with family and friends. I was diagnosed 28 years ago when I was 21. I promise you will adjust and adapt.
  24. Phyllis28
    I hope you are feeling better. Relatives, even though they do their best to accommodate a gluten free diet, don
