    Hey- I saw an ad in living without for the triumph dining guide, does anyone have it? It says it lists a lot more than just chain restauarants all across US. Does anyone have an opinion on it?

    Hi- I am traveling to western MA (springfield area, possibly northampton). Is anyone aware of gluten free/gluten free friendly restaurants ( or even friendly grocery stores)? Thanks!

    Does anyone know if this is gluten free? (natural sea new england clam chowder). They have no contact info I can find or website. The ingrediants all appear gluten free but it only says wheat free, which to me is an indication there may be gluten. Anyways, if anyone has had the soup or knows anything about it please let me know. Thanks Melissa

    I think whats most important is that we are returning to a place of being balanced in our bodies, ie no nutrient deficincies. However, we all get to that place is what is right for us. No, I don't love the idea of eating meat, but after an ongoing bout with severe anemia and b vitamin deficiency and having no improvement, you reach a decision point! After...

    Hey- I was a vegetarian for 12 years, a vegan for 2 of them, and after my celiac diagnosis, I lasted maybe two years tops as a veg. Although to keep my meat intake in check, I only buy organic and free range items. (This works because I don't make much money!). As far as non meat items, I enjoy the lightlife tempeh in wildrice or soy (the other kinds have...

    Hey- Just wanted to throw a few things out there that are good for vegetarians too. I eat a lot of lightlife tempeh in soy, wild rice or flax. Great source of protein and good to eat. I like to saute with gluten-free soy sauce with rice or even throw it in sushi with avocado. The best gluten-free veggie dog is the tofu pups. I just tried the soy boy ones...

    I am not sure if I had that test. I will go back through my records and look. My spine doesn't hurt, its realyy just my knee. Occasionally I feel general swelling or tingly-ness, but thats all. I think whats so frustrating about it, is I just can't figure out how to treat it or who to listen to. It seems like finding a good rheumatologist is almost worse...

    I am moving in a few weeks outside of cummington/northampton I think. ( I have found a job but not yet gone to get an apartment!) I have family south of boston, so I will probably be through there a lot. I would love to know places to shop, I am so used to being 2 minutes from whole foods that I am a bit nervous! Are there any active support groups in...

    I feel the same way too sometimes. I won't give the diet up but it is frustrating dealing with people. I find it frustrating that its one extreme to another, someone who has to know every detail of what you ate and whats wrong with you to the person who doesn't care at all and just wants you to eat their food they swear is gluten free with out understanding...

    hey- I am moving to MA soon, and I hoping to find some gluten-free friends and get some advice about restaurants/grocery stores etc. M
  17. gfmelissa
    thanks for the info. I find that my knee doesn't hurt so much anymore, but just feel sometimes generally swollen.. i do live iwth people who eat gluten so I wouldn't rule out accidentally being "glutened". M

    Hi- I was diagnosed with celiacs about three years ago. I felt great going off gluten till last april. My knee suddenly became so swollen I got a bakers cyst that had to be drained. I also get other joint pain sometimes in my hips but no swelling there. The orthopedic couldn't find anything wrong, and then sent me to a rheumatologist, who just put me...

    My parents are portuguese and the other is english/german. I am wondering more about that GI you heard speak that said both parents have to be carriers of the gene? did they mention what the theory is on that? If not thats cool, just wondering.

    I have some gluten-free honey beer from Ramapo valley brewery in new york. Its pretty good. Much better than getting sick off cheap beer. They have a website too. melissa

    hey- I ate their once a few months ago, no gluten-free menu. The chef came out and spoke with me, but I still ended up eating yr basic salad with no dressing ( I don't eat meat either). So I wouldn't really recommend it, but you can try! Melissa

    Hey! I bought travel packets from Annies naturals. They have a website I forget what it is, but the dressing is good, and they have 4 varieties in little packets. melissa
