We ate at two different locations; Kennsington & near St. Paul's Cathedral. Both have great gluten-free menus and attentive staff. Belle Italia: also multiple locations throughout the city. We...

Ruth replied to Ruth's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks Gemini, She is going to look at Ithaca this summer. She also heard back from Colgate and Holy Cross dining services people. They both seem very accomdating and are going to meet with us and give us a tour of their facilities this week. We are feeling much more confident that she will find a school that "gets it." I'll keep posting as we go for others... -

Thank you so much Gemini ~ Ithaca is on her list of schools to visit over April vacation. This info will make her so happy Did your niece consider any other schools that seemed to "get" the gluten-free thing? -

Ruth posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My daughter is a HS junior and has begun her college search. She has been gluten-free for 9 years. She also has other food allergies. Obviously, the competance of the dining services will be a major part of her college decision. Does any one have any input on what colleges are really good or not good at handling gluten-free diets and food allergies? She... -

She is very well versed in working with waitstaff and finding food in supermarkets, however, she has never had to do this outside of the US.

ARCHIVED Getting Girl Scouts To Sell Gluten Free Cookies`
Ruth replied to suztodd's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My daughter has been a Girl Scout for 9 years now... we have often thought how great it would be to have a gluten-free Cookie to sell. I give you a lot of credit for starting this campaign. In the mean time.. your daughter may like to do what mine has done. We sell the cookies to friends and family that are not gluten-free and our family buys what we "normally... -
ARCHIVED Im Newly Diagnosed And So Angry
Ruth replied to ginnybean32's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I know it sounds trite, but it really does get better. Everyone goes through some level of anger/sadness for having to drastically change their lives. I've cried in the supermarket, mall (looking for makeup), the hairdresser (after they doused me with some hair product containing wheat) No doubt...food is so prevalent in everything social. Its been 6 years... -
ARCHIVED (autoimmune) Asthma, Allergies And Skin Issues (eczema)?
Ruth replied to EmmyLouWho?'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My son's severe asthma and excema went away completely after goning gluten-free. No more inhalers, singulair, albuterol, steroids.... it took about 3 months to see full improvement. It has been a blessing. -
I am celebrating my 5th Anniversary as a Gluten Free person! I just wanted to say thanks... I don't frequent this board daily as I once did... but I do refer to it often, and recommend it to people I meet who are newly diagnosed. It is amazing to me how far the world has come in 5 years regarding knowledge of celiac, products available, etc. I feel better...

In the Woodstock/Quechee area I would recommend: Restaurants: Simon Pearce (fine dining, great location, understand gluten-free...just let them know in advance) Bentley's in Woodstock has prepared a good gluten-free steak salad for me. Just let them know when you arrive. The chef seems very knowledgeable, came out and spoke to me. The Quechee Club...
