    Those are great goals. I wish you sucess. We always need more good gluten free bakeries and/or cafes.

    Kilcan, I think that the South Beach diet lends itself to the gluten-free requirements of celiac disease. It is pretty easy to follow. I do not use the artificial sugar substitutes and other things that he recommends, but I try to focus on lean meats, veggies, fruits and lots of spices, vinegars and tasty recipies using fresh ingredients, not processed...

    Hi Jessica, Yes, I think exercise is the answer, at least I hope it is for me. I, too, stopped at diagnosis since I felt so bad and just started again last week. I'm going to really kick the exercise into gear this week and see if that helps. Good luck! ~Laura

    Redharmony, The answer to the above is Enterolab testing. It is cheaper than paying for tests via your doctor AND it has the added benefit of not appearing on your kids' medical records. It should also satisfy your husband because they are true medical tests. Going gluten free as a test might show your husband, but Enterolab results can't be ignored...

    Jessica, I'm not sure why you've gone down with the swelling but up on the weight. It could just be losing water weight puffiness for your face and waistline but gaining glycogen stores elsewhere or something like that. I don't have any answers on the weight. The dietitian that I saw said that I may hold onto weight after going gluten free because...

    The Seattle restaurant is just north of the Seattle Center on Roy. The Bellevue restaurant is just south of Bellevue Square. ~Laura

    Waving to Tiffany from Bellevue I, too, have eaten at Mediterranean Kitchen in both Seattle and Bellevue, probably for 20+ years. I've been once since going gluten free and I was worried, but the Bellevue staff was great and a I had a great meal, plus 2 leftover meals, since they give you so MUCH!. Two other good Bellevue restaurants are Moghul Palace...

    I use www.dietwatch.com mainly because I have all my own recipes added there from the past (even the non-gluten free, which I can't use anymore...but I digress). A good , FREE site is www.fitday.com which also has a good journaling feature. ~Laura

    I'll be there! Maybe bring some friends/family!

    Sorry you got gultened. What my baby-brother, an M.D., told me to do (long before I was diagnosed with celiac) was to eat raw garlic. So whenever I got sores (none since going gluten-free) I would make some homemade hummus or some ceasar salad or greek salad. It worked every time. Good luck to you.

    Hi Wooly, My story is unusual, but here is my take on the biopsy for celiac. It's called an endoscopy and you can google it to get a definition. Basically, they give you a small sedative dose, then they spray the back of your throat with numbing spray and put a small tube down your throat. Takes all of 20 minutes. The tube has a camera in it and they...

    Hi Kelly, no need to apologize for being "cranky". I'm not veggie but try the blog of the gluten-free goddess. Karina is veggie but her recipies are to die for AND she is too cool for words. Very helpful to the new celiac in terms of cooking. Open Original Shared Link Good luck! ~Laura

    Thanks Mariann. I am calling the doc tomorrow morning.

    Hi PTKDS I can relate to a lot of what you say. I am slowly working through the sources of my CC (used tupperware, colander, microwave at work, etc) and think I've been accidentally glutened once each week since 2/15/07. I have 30 more pounds to lose. I have lost some since diagnosis, only because I've been too sick or too scared to eat...and that...

    Hi everyone, I was diagnosed in February of this year. My almost 16 y.o. daughter "thinks" she has some celiac symptoms but I haven't been able to twist her arm to get the blood test, as she's afraid of needles. This past week she got the most unusual itching on her upper back. I drives her crazy (and me too, since I have to listen to her). Now...

    I have had the same thing off and on and pain too for the past month. Doctors don't know what is causing the pain but did diagnose tumors in my kidneys and liver, non-cancerous thankfully. I'm beginning to wonder if my twitching and pain is from hidden gluten. ~Laura

    I am in a very technical profession and finished my Masters in Finance in May 2005. Right after that I kept having problems understanding things at my job. It was one of the reasons my job went sour and I had to find a new job (which turned out to be a good thing). In my pre-diagnosis days, I'd look at a spreadsheet and tell myself "You have a Masters...

    Walter, I really feel for you. And I agree with Liz/Lonewolf. Try a really bland diet, chicken, applesauce, bananas, rice. Take care of yourself and try to relax. ~Laura

    Thanks to Shawn, I'm so happy! I'm an American, but my in-laws always have a full English dinner for holidays- roast beef, yorkshire pudding and plum pudding at Christmas. I LOVE Yorkshire Pudding and was worried that I wouldn't be able to have it now. I enjoy cooking and decided to try the recipe. It was FABULOUS! I'm so excited. To make the recipe...

    I've never had a problem either. I don't get the free "Boost" (and didn't before diagnosis either" so I don't know what is in that but they are good about CC, at least at my local outlets. ~Laura

    On most cruises, including RC, you can go to the buffet at any time but if you want a meal, you can go to the dining room. The hours are more limited, but as a new celiac, I would expect that I would only go to the dining room and avoid the buffet if at all possible. The dining room food is a bit better and it only takes a little longer. ~Laura

    I may have to have major surgery soon and will be in the hospital 5-7 days. All the comments from hospital workers are depressing me. I've already told my mom and sis that they will have to keep me supplied with applesauce, gluten-free jello, pudding, cottage cheese and yogurt. And soups too. I am lucky that my sister is an RN and has promised to spend...

    I have 25 left, have lost 8. I agree, it will be a long time, for me at least. I teach college-level classes online, mainly business/economics. So cyberprof is a shorthand way of saying it, although I don't really consider myself a "professor" more like an instructor. I have a non-teaching day job. ~Laura

    I ate at the Bellevue Square restaurant my first week after diagnosis (last month). My server was excellent. He didn't make me uncomfortable at all and promised me AND DELIVERED a gluten-free meal. I had the red tomato/fresh mozzarella salad with vinegar for starter (most of the salads had blue cheese) and for the entree I had grilled salmon with a...

    Hi Tiffany, I'm in Seattle too. Can anyone tell me how much a gene test is and how likely I could get insurance to pay for my son's test, given my diagnosis?
