    I was to dine at 11 Water St. so e-mailed about gluten-free choices. Dorine Caswell, owner VERY gracious and helpful, as was Chef Erin. New gluten-free menu comes out this week and staff are being educated on topic. Great menu, view over water, sweet restaurant. Be sure to try if in area.

    I watched my friend do SBD and thought she was nuts, but saw how she went from junk food junky to health nut and loved it, also, lost lots of weight. Upon my celiac disease DX AND a huge weight gain, I started searching for other ways to eat, so I wouldn't starve. I explored SBD and SCD (we all know as Specific Carbohydrate diet), if you look at them,...

    The longer I am doing this, the more I go towards SCD diet. I must admit, don't follow absolutely to the letter (still use Lactose free milk in my coffee), but I can go for hours without eating and I am honestly almost never hungry. It is a lot to adjust to, but I found the gluten free substitutes (flour, noodles), only made me hungrier. I bake a lot with...

    Hello to All, Don't go back to Gluten!!!!!! I must admit it is nice to hear other's having problems, not that I want others to have problems but you feel so alone sometimes. My DX was 2/07, I gained about a pound a month!!!! I am now short and round. I am over 50 so my doc says, "well, you are over 50". UGHHHH, boy, that was a scary moment. I figured...

    Hey Folletto145, Hang in there! I got DX 2/07, I have gained a pound each month, makes me NUTS, especially since I know people with DX that lost 20lbs easily going glulten free. Others are correct, get thyroid checked, and there was a response a long time ago from someone who said your metabolism may be slower, and you are no longer starving your body...

    I don't usually respond but you are so young, best to look into this for a better future. Celiac my not be your only problem but it may well be the underlying force to exacerbate or trigger your issues. I am much older than you with DX in my 50's. I see now how it was likely my problem for many years, including youth. Anxiety, depression, and many of the...

    Hi, I have lived in Maine for 30 yrs,, came here to play "Grizzly Adams" with husband (log cabin in the woods thing",. It's really hard having Celiac in ME because Bar Harbor Ale Micro Brew is like the best beer in the whole darn world. The Blueberry beer was a little bit of heaven, we would hike a small mountain with wild blueberries on it and actually...

    I'm new, love this forum, helps a lot. There was a site, don't remember name, but some people journaled their days food intake, wondered where it went. I wrote to it and now it's gone. Now I think I did something to make it go away!!!! That can't be, right? This wheat free life is cutting my anxiety, but paranoia has heightened.

    I am just learning how to use this site. I checked at work, didn't see my note, so figured I screwed up. Checked it tonight and found all the responses. Just want you all to know how supportive this feels. I tell myself this is a little thing, but it ends up being overwhelming at times, especially since I am still figuring out my body. I get the feeling I...

    I know the turkey question is an old one, but wanted to add something... We use a baking bag when we cook turkey or sometimes big chicken. It cuts down on the time. When you do this, or even if you don't, it is customary for us to put a couple of tbls. of flour in the bag. Also, some may add flour wtih salt and pepper to skin. So, when eating out, you...

    Hello to you all. Your info. has been helpful. I'd like to join, not so much to write list but to connect. I was DX'd with Celiac 1 month ago. Long story and health issues with that, but you've heard them all. Thing is, I thought I would lose weight and I am not, in fact, I've probably gained a pound. I feel like my body won't give anything up, like it was...
