Have fun in Nashville!! I was there two years ago and was surprised at how much I loved the city!! I, too, am heading out of state for a bowl game and understand how difficult it can be trying to find restaurant info!! I googled "gluten free nashville" and here are two links that I found with quite a bit of information on local restaurants: Open...

Hi everyone!! I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions for restaurants/grocery stores in the Tampa area?? I'm going to be heading down there around New Years for the Outback bowl (I'm a senior in college at the University of Wisconsin ----- Go Bucky!!). Anyway, back to the point -- I'm going to be staying in Tampa and then heading...

sooo good to know this! i thought i was the only one being annoyed by the lack of three-letter searches! thanks!

Hey guys! I'm going to be a senior at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I was diagnosed at the end of my freshman year of college, so I know how hard it is to completely change your lifestyle and try to survive college at the same time! Good luck to those of you in dorms. I lived in the dorms for a semester after being diagnosed and it was really...

I alternated between constipation and diarrhea pre-diagnosis. When I get glutened, I get fatigued, nauseous, feverish, and want to curl up in a ball and never move! I have Crohn's, too, so I think that affects why sometimes I get diarrhea and sometimes constipation.... I hope it helps knowing you're not the only one with those symptoms!

I used to have the same problem. All of the supposedly gluten-free vitamins I was trying made me incredibly nauseous within an hour of taking them. I tried so many different kinds and they all made me sick, even though they were gluten free. I even refused to take vitamins for awhile!! After being lectured by my nurse practitioner and my mom, I decided...

I haven't been there since being diagnosed with Celiac, but when I did go, it was a ton of fun! Hope you have a great trip!

I'm in the same boat... I was diagnosed with celiac in June 2005 and Crohn's in December 2005. Doesn't it suck taking so many pills every day?!?! I'm only 21, but my pill collection makes it look like I'm in my 80s!

Hello! I'm heading out to San Francisco in a couple of weeks to visit my brother and sister-in-law who moved there last month. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any restaurants?!? They live in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, but we'll probably hit up all of the touristy spots (North Beach, Chinatown, the Marina District... the works!). I...

In order to test for lactorse intolerance, my doctor suggested that I completely get rid of it for three days and then have a giant glass of milk on the fourth day to see if my symptoms (diarrhea and lots of gas) came back. Too bad I'm from Wisconsin (born and raised with some of the best dairy products around) and haven't yet brought myself to try...

Huh - the last I had heard, Hidden Valley's dry packet was NOT gluten free. Maybe I'm wrong, though. It'd be great if it was... My mom (also celiac) uses Simply Organic Ranch Dip mix instead of the Hidden Valley kind. I haven't tried it yet, but she says it's pretty tasty.

I TOTALLY agree! I miss donuts and these are wonderful!

I cheated about 2 days after I was diagnosed and didn't really have much information on Celiac at the time. (This was about 2 years ago) I worked in an orthopaedic clinic and one of the doctors was nice enough to buy the whole office pizza from Domino's. I figured I deserved one last gluten-filled pizza meal before I officially gave it up - besides what...

After I googled "Gluten Free drug list", I stumbled across this beauty. Check out this website for a pretty sweet list of gluten-free meds: Open Original Shared Link I'm an Excedrin user, personally, but the list has a portion devoted to migraine headache meds...(that is, if you're looking for migraine medicine -- otherwise check out the rest of...
