    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Yep, that all describes how I feel. How long must I be gluten-free before it goes away? I'm at 3.5 months now. WH

    Yes, pure Kettle, their potatoe chips have been manufactured in a completely gluten-free facility since January of this year. WH

    My family and I attended this dinner last night. It was a great event and the price was superb (1/3 the regular price). Kudos to the group for organizing it. WH

    Welcome Ed. I'm nearby in northern Virginia. WH

    My wife makes me chicken tenders that are great. She rolls them in cornmeal and fries them. I eat them straight, put them on salads, etc. Sure are good. Another good idea would be to get some gluten free pasta. It is easy to prepare. You may have to change sauce brands if your current one is not gluten free. Fresh fruit and vegetables are also...

    Yes, fruit plate is often an option. Here is a typical list of special meals provided by the caters, although individual airlines may not offer all of the options: Bland Meal Diabetic Meal Gluten Free Meal High Fiber Meal Low Calorie Meal Low Cholesterol/Low Fat Meal Low Protein Meal Low Sodium Meal Non Lactose Meal Low Purine Meal Asian...

    Delta does not make any of their own food. Nor do most of the other global airlines. In the US, only one airline makes it's own food. That is Continental and even then at only six locations: Houston, Cleveland, Newark, Los Angeles, Denver and Honolulu. Most airline food is made by Gate Gourmet or LSG SkyChefs. Together these two companies make about...

    I understand Delta Air Lines has now made gluten-free meals available as a special meal option. United already did this. So, one more choice for gluten-free travels. WH

    Thanks for the info. Friday will be four weeks gluten free for me. Somedays, I think I might see a slight improvement and other days are about the same. I've been very careful with the diet eating only things made at home and carefully prepared to prevent CC. I've tried experimenting with some of the frequent problem items. I believe I'm sensitive to...

    So, for those of you that are corn sensitive, is it to just the heavy corn items (cornbread, corn tortillas, corn chips, etc.) or do you also have to eliminate the incidental sources of corn (items with corn syrup as an ingredient, etc.)? WH

    Lara Bars does not make a blueberry yogurt bar as far as I know (and it is not listed on their website as one of their flavors). You must have had a different brand (that perhaps was not gluten free). WH

    Open Original Shared Link is my favorite desert of all time. I haven't made it since going gluten-free but I suspect even with the normal brands I was using it is already gluten free. If not, it would be easy to substitute a gluten-free brand for any gluten containing item in this list. A couple of warnings however. This is not a desert you make and...

    Thanks for the website. That will make it easy to check other medication. I did not, however, see the list of drugs that are not gluten-free. Can you post a link to that? WH

    Don't go gluten-free yet. It is likely your GI will want to do an endoscopy to confirm the blood test through biopsy and see how much damage has been done. Going off the gluten before this can skew the results. Now is a good time to start learning about the gluten-free lifestyle. Maybe select and order some books from Amazon, do a little research to find...

    I will second the recommendation to try the lettuce wrap. I haven't been to PFC since I have gone gluten free but will soon. There is one by our house and another in a city I frequently travel to. The lettuce wraps have always been a favorite of mine and I'm looking forward to trying the gluten-free version. I would guess the only difference is the use...

    I'm three weeks ahead of you. Don't fret the biopsy. You don't feel a thing and there is no pain or discomfort at any point before, during or after. I'm a huge chicken when it comes to this type of stuff and can honestly tell you that the worst part is the prick from the IV needle. Trust me you felt more pain and discomfort with the blood test and...

    WHinNOVA replied to Jo.R's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Yes, that's plenty if you're not drinking. On the other hand, depending on how far away it is to the "city", it is pretty easy to burn $50 in gas these days. WH

    I see Enterolab mentioned in a lot of posts as the method of diagnosis. What is this? I had a blood sample taken and a "celiac screen" done. There were four tests in the panel and I flunked all four. The doctor then did a endoscopy and biopsy to confirm the test results. Is Enterolab a different way of determining if one has celiac or is this another...

    This may have been posted before (I'm new here) but I don't see it in any of the recent threads so I'll post anyway for the benefit of others who may not be aware. I see amazon .com has 529 items listed as Gluten Free in their grocery section. The prices appear to be quite attractive vs. my local Whole Foods and Trader Joes. They are for bulk lots so...

    I live in Fairfax and am newly diagnosed and new to the forum. Thanks for the list of dining out options and please keep me informed of any new ones. I live in the Fair Oaks area and work in Reston. WH

    I was diagnosed two weeks ago and have been on a rigid gluten-free diet since then. I like dairy, especially cheese, and have not eliminated it from my diet. I read here that sometimes during the first few months of the gluten-free diet it is not unusual to be lactose intolerant. I'm wondering how I will know if I am or not. Before diagnosis and going...

    I signed up for membership at both sites awhile back. My membership here was promptly approved and I can now post. However, I celiacforums.com, I'm in a black hole. The account is created but not approved. So, I can't post or PM the moderator to resolve the issue. I've tried emailing but get no response. Can someone who is also a member there, please...
