    Ooh, I miss Santa Barbara! It's my hometown. God, i miss the restaurants. I've never been glutened in a restaurant in SB. Probably because they are not chains, and they have higher standards for their employees! It is hard to find gluten-free groceries there, though. When I lived down there, my strategy was to try products at the expensive local prices...

    Try seasoned rice vinegar instead of soy sauce. It's not bad.

    I lost 25 pounds when I first went gluten free. I went from 130 to 105 within three months (I'm 5'6"). My whole family kept telling me that they were worried about me, and my boyfriend (now husband) was constantly telling me that I was too skinny and that I looked awful. I really didn't care what any of them said. For the first time I could remember,...

    Thanks again everyone. I really do appreciate everyone's advice. I did remove the auto password complete from my browser. Frankly, I've been really surprised at the response. You don't know me at all, but so many seem to really care. To answer some questions, I am not religious, although I did attend a very conservative Christian school for 11 years...

    Wow, thank you everyone for your concern. I'm fine, really. They are just threats. Still not okay, I know, but he's only like that about 5% of the time, and most of the time he's a really good dad. My daughter loves him and he is good with her most of the time. It would be really hard for me to walk away from that.

    Three times in the past month my husband has threatened me with wheat contamination! He says that he will hide bread crumbs or wheat flour in my food to "punish" me. I think he does this to control me and upset me. He knows that very little that he can say or do will upset me (I am a very mellow person, while he is wildly mercurial), but he has unfortunately...

    We use a toaster oven with a little baking sheet in it. My husband uses the rack for his wheat bread, and I use the baking sheet for gluten-free stuff. It works for us. I keep the baking sheet separate from the toaster and clean the whole toaster every few days if he is using it.

    I grew up in SB and went to UCSB as well. Your best bets for gluten-free fast food in Goleta are In-N-Out Burger on Turnpike, near 101 and Wendy's on Hollister (in old town Goleta). My personal favorite cheap sit-down restaurant is the Natural Cafe. They have quite a few gluten-free choices on their menu, you just have to ask. They are always very helpful...

    Thank you, horsegirl!

    I'm looking for a general practitioner/family doctor in Roseville or Sacramento who will be supportive of my gluten-free diet at the very least, or, if I'm really lucky, experienced in treating patients with celiac. Any suggestions?

    Walgreen's brand melatonin is gluten-free. I've used melatonin for years with no ill effects, and with considerable benefits. I know when I forget to take it, because I'll be laying in bed wondering why I can't sleep, and then I'll realize that I forgot my melatonin. I only take it when I feel like I will have trouble falling asleep, though. It stops...

    I have these dreams once a week or more. Occasionally, I figure out that I am dreaming and just enjoy it. The slavering monster in my dreams is is my mother-in-law. She is convinced that my problem is all in my head and that I was never sick (no, I did not advertise my symptoms to my friends of their families). I dream that she tells me something...

    There is a support group in the Sacramento area: Open Original Shared Link I hope that helps! BTW, I don't suppose you're looking for a room to rent?

    Hello, I'm looking for a celiac/gluten-free roommate to rent one large bedroom and full bath in a nice 3 bedroom 2 bath house in Antelope, CA. I am just so sick of roommates who contaminate my kitchen with wheat! We are near I-80, within easy commuting distance of both Roseville and Sacramento. We are a family with a small child, so we need someone who...
