    Since we don't have a lunchroom with tables where I work I eat at my desk. If you don't want to eat at your desk you might consider bringing in a TV tray or foldable table to eat on if there is room to set it up. I am always careful with the microwave. I wipe down the outside front and the counter area in front of it. If the microwave looks dirty I...

    A gluten free household is best if it can be done. You might consider a gluten limited househould. This works in my family. I am the only one gluten free. Basically the only gluten foods in the house are store bought bread products and cereal. All gluten products and food needed to prepare gluten containing meals are kept outside the kitchen. I call...

    This is the method I use when I travel. You might want to consider checking the ice every couple of hours. You can dump the water in a restroom (on the plane or at the airport) and replace the ice. The flight attendants should be able to provide cup(s) of ice during the flight.

    There wasn't much available that was edible in the way of gluten free pastas when I went gluten free 30 years ago. I simply substituted rice for any sauce (like spagetti or a meat sauce) that is usually poured over pasta.

    I live in a gluten limited household. Basically, the only gluten items are cereal, store bought bread products. After many years of sharing the kitchen I removed the gluten items from the kitchen. They are in a mini-kitchen setup where a buffet would go. There is an apartment size refrigerator, a large kitchen cart with cabinets and a small microwave....

    I have been gluten free for 30 years. My gallbladder problems are related to being female, over 40, and overweight. I do not know if celiac had anything to do with my gall bladder problems. The first symptoms showed up about 7 years ago.

    I went to four doctors when I was told I had to have my gallbladder taken out and did research in the internet. I did not find any viable alternatives to surgery. The four doctors (1 internist, 1 family doctor, 1 Celiac knowegelable GI, and 1 surgeon) I had it out and feel a lot better. No more dibilitating attacks and a lot more energy. One of the points...

    Be very careful where you eat the night before the race. You would not be at your best if you were accidently glutened. You might consider bringing your own food to eat the night before and the morning of the race. Hope everything goes well.

    Very interesting discussion. They found the beginning stages of arthritis in my back when they did a cat scan last year. I don't have any pain. Do nightshades always make arthritis worse or only if you are sensitive to nightshades? I have never had any trouble with nightshades in the pase.

    Costco rotisserie chickens are marked gluten free in the red stripe. I still check the label each time I buy one.

    My son was generally heathly enough to go to school so my experience is not the same as the other posters. I implented the following rule for my son very early in elementary school: No video games, TV, Computer or eletrontics during the school day if he stayed home sick. If he had to come home from school these activities were prohibited until the end of...

    Nature Made marks there bottles gluten free. They are available at Costco in large bottles which makes it a lot less expensive than buying them at a health food store. Also, the Kirkland (Costco brand) mutli-vitamins are marked gluten free on the bottle.

    I hope you feel better soon. If you call the Oral Surgeon everyday you might get be able to get in earlier if there is a cancellation.

    FlyGirl, I suggest that you read the posts in the Travel Catagory of this forum before your next trip. There are lots of great tips for eating while traveling.

    I have Gluten Free Girl. The book part autobiography, part embracing the gluten free diet, part coping skills and some receipes. Retail price is $24.95. I prefer to look at books in the store before I buy them. Barnes and Noble and Borders both allow you to check store inventories online. If you can not find these books within a reasonable driving distance...

    One of the things I consider is how long I am going to be gone. If I know am going to be out all day or all evening I will pack a whole cold meal plus lots of snacks.

    Thank you Momma Gooose. This information will help me add lots of items to my very basic earthquake emergency kit.

    I like to freeze: Spegetti sauce or chili over rice or rice pasta. Cooked chicken, I put it into the refrigerator to defrost a day in advance and eat it cold. This should work with any cooked meat that can be eaten cold. Soups and Stews.

    When I needed a marinade I did an internet seach for "chicken marinade". There are many receipes on the internet to choose from. I ended up with a lemon, olive oil and garlic marinade. Hope you can locate one you like.

    ARCHIVED My Brother

    Phyllis28 replied to JerryK's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I also hope you get through to you brother. If you have not already done so suggest a gluten free trail run of one or two weeks. You might even include a little bribery and supply the food for a trail run. Another option, which includes bribery, would be to take him on vacation where you control the food. Camping for a week out of easy reach of...

    I would take a print out of the test for celiac with you to the doctor's office. Below is a link to the page relating to diagnosis at the Columbia University celiac disease center: Open Original Shared Link

    I always use scotch tape of envelopes that are not peel and stick.

    I agree, no unsupervised visits right now. Explain that this will continue until you are sure he can be safe. One safe arrangement might be to send all his food if she will agree not to feed him anything else. She would also have to agree to handle and store the food in a safe manner. Hope you are able to resolve this.
