    Okay, I need to rant! I am sitting here in my recliner completely exhausted! I have the worst second grade class I've ever had (this is my sixth year in regular education). I haven't had a group this awful since I taught special education (20 years in all). I realized the other day that out of 24 students, there were only eight who had not caused a problem...

    This week at work is Teacher Appreciation Week, and the PTA is treating us to all sorts of wonderful things. The goodies today looked like a photo spread from a gourmet dessert magazine. I just sat and watched everyone else pig out. Tomorrow is Massage Day, and as far as I know, the massages are, thankfully, gluten free.

    Okay. My understanding is that some (or all?) people who have celiac disease/gluten sensitivity also show symptoms of lactose intolerance when they first give up gluten. I think this is happening to me. I have not been able to drink milk for years, but I have always been able to eat cheese and most other dairy products. I had been feeling so much better...

    My son was in the NICU, and I had to pump, and the pumping really got things going. I was so sore I wanted to scream, though. The pump in the NICU was this huge, ominous thing, and I was always afraid that it would suck me right in. At home I used a hand pump (builds the biceps). All of this was eighteen years ago, so there are probably more modern devices...

    Congratulations on your pregnancy! Babies and kids are so fun! My baby, Adam, is eighteen now and heading off to college in the fall (sniff). I am trying to think of what you could eat. I'm going to mention some possibilities, but I have not checked all of them to see if they're gluten-free- lemon custard style yogurt, EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch...

    The only skin-related problem I have had thus far- and not since I've eliminated wheat- were welts across my tummy that looked as if I had been whipped. The doctor saw them and said that they were hives.

    Oh my gosh! Do you guys actually know what all that means? If I have this test done eventually, will someone interpret it for me? Yikes!

    Hi, Your first paragraph reminded me so much of myself. I have never heard anyone quite describe it that way- the inability to go from one step to the next step, etc. I thought I was alone in all of that. I had the depression, lack of motivation, IBS, ADD, etc. My house was scandalously dirty (I'm still cleaning it). I made it through four years...

    It is perfectly normal- and justified- to want to cry when you think about all of the wonderful things you used to eat. I've been gluten-free for almost a month, and it happens to me. My 18-year-old and I were driving through the Little Italy section of Cleveland last night, and I looked at all of the restaurants and the little Italian bakery and thought...

    I know you don't want to hear this (I groaned when I read it, too), but you have to check the ingredients on products every single time you buy them, because product ingredients can change. I had assumed that if a product was safe, it was safe forever, but it's not. I am very thankful to finally have a diagnosis after 40 years, but this disease is time...

    I am 49 now, and looking back, I see that I have had a variety of symptoms at different times throughout my life. One of the most disturbing was in my early twenties, when I would wake up burpng a sulfur taste that was identical to the taste of hard boiled eggs. This would go on for most of the day, and every single time, I would start vomiting over and...

    Hi, I'm assuming that you checked the label on the new chips. If not, it could certainly be the chips. I haven't been doing this very long (only a month), but I have found that I have to be very brand specific when I purchase products. For example, I love to eat hummus, and the store where I shop has several varieties. I have been buying the one kind...

    Hi, Small world. I am in the process of being diagnosed (there's really no doubt), and I am a vegetarian (lacto-ovo), too. I've been gluten free for almost a month now. I'm 49 and can look clear back to age 7 when I was hospitalized and diagnosed as having a "nervous stomach." Since then, I have been diagnosed with IBS, an ulcer (I don't know how the...

    Ditto here! I feel so badly for all of the people who are suffering out there and have no idea why. I am going to shout my story from the rooftops.

    I am 49 years old. I had my first upper GI at seven years of age. I used to lie in bed and sob from the pain as a child. There has never been a time in my life when I didn't have some type of digestive symptoms- nervous stomach, ulcers (never showed up in any tests, so I don't know how the diagnosis was made), vomiting (preceded by burping a sulfur/egg...

    I was having what I thought were terrible sinus headaches. However, I did not have a sinus infection, and further investigation via x-rays of my sinuses were negative. My family doc sent me to my dentist, and he fitted me with a mouthguard for only $75.00, plus the cost of the visit. It fits all the way around my bottom teeth. If I don't wear the device...
