Hey-- After Pres. Clinton's comment on Rachel Ray's show about eating gluten free granola, I know a bunch of us were wondering if he had celiac. Good Morning America reported to today that Chelsea Clinton's wedding cake is going to be gluten free, so I think that pretty much confirms that he does. Just thought that I'd pass along the news that another...

Hi-- I am on continuous birth control for a long list of female issues, and I have been spotting heavily on a daily basis for over a month. Around the same time, and then again two weeks ago, I ate gluten and I have yet to fully recover. I have been malnourished (I am not absorbing potassium and getting charlie horses) and was wondering if my birth control...

I know this is an old post, but I found this great article with information about gluten free wedding cake options and ideas that I thought I would share: Open Original Shared Link

Hi guys- I always entertain at my house. If people ask me what to bring, I tell them bring something to drink because I have control of the food. This is what I made last weekend: Open Original Shared Link People loved it and it was cheap and gluten free!

You hit it on the head, unfortunately. For wheat I get sick right away. But barley (and now oats) hits me the next day. Ugg.. they are not safe.

Hey everyone, I took a really early flight this morning, and without thinking I grabbed Quaker oatmeal to eat at the hotel buffet before I left. I bothered to check to see if it contained wheat, but at 5 in the morning the fact that celiac is more than wheat didn't sink in . After this I was expecting to get sick, but am showing no symptoms, normal...

Just to update anyone moving to DC, here is what I found-- In Georgetown: SweetGreen, Qdoba, Chipotle, 5 Guys, and the Tombs were my staples. The Tombs is amazing with allergies, I highly recommend it. The same people (I think) own Clydes, so I am sure they would be easy too. In Rosslyn/Court House: Silver Diner, Pho 75, Baja Fresh, California Tortilla...

I go to a Jesuit university, and have talked to priests and lay catholics about the best options to receive without appearing to be different. When I am at school, I watch to see which chalice the priest places the host in (although most of the priests don't seem to place it in any of the chalices, they hold it over it and then eat it). Then I wait in line...

I completely understand about just wanting to be normal and go out with friends, as well as the dating issue. My advice is to assume that people are stupid and don't care. Thus, find 2 or 3 great places that are naturally gluten free with low cc risk. This means 0 special ordering, or, if you must, "no bun" or "no toast". For me this is a Vietnamese restaurant...

I am flying to the Honduras in a few months, and I need advice. I have flown and traveled a ton since being dxed and never had a problem, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the international restrictions were on bringing food into a foreign country are. I was going to pack a couple of cases of Lara bars and other pre-packaged food to hold me over when...

Hello everyone! I just found out I got accepted to go on a service trip to Honduras in March, which I am so excited about. The first question from all of my relatives was about food. Because of where we'll be staying, I can't expect them to have food for me (if they do, it'll be a coincidence). Does anyone know if you can bring prepacked food (like...

Hello, I just found out that I will be moving to Washington, DC in the summer for at least 2 years, but probably longer. I will be spending most of my time at/near Georgetown U, but I will be most likely living in Virginia or Maryland. Does anyone have any experience in eating on Georgetown's campus or the surrounding area, or any recommendations...

I saw this in today's paper. Open Original Shared Link What do you all think?

I completely get the crankiness... I still get cranky when I think about it. Here is my advice: - cravings go away if you are completely gluten free. They are horrible for the first month. Especially the smell of pizza and brownies (I have been known to start crying at the smell of pizza). However, you will get through them and it gets easier - the...
