Hey, y'all, I've acquired a recipe for baked macaroni and cheese that I have modified to make gluten free and very, VERY low fat, but am unsure about whether or not to use corn or rice pasta. I love the Trader Joe's brand of gluten-free mac and cheese, and their noodles are rice based elbow macaroni, although pretty much every other brand of rice pasta I...

If at all possible, don't drop out! I know that is much easier said than done, though. I just graduated with my Bachelor's Degree a couple months ago and am now gearing up for Graduate School. I know what you mean about being in a brain fog and having anxiety/depression issues in addition to feeling crappy all the time, and I know how difficult all of that...

Thank you SO much for posting this delicious recipe. I made the pizza last night, and my family (who is not gluten free) all said how delicious it was and that it tasted like "real" pizza. I wholeheartedly agre! This recipe is outstanding! I have not had good pizza in years since being diagnosed, and this is definitely among the top pizzas that I have ever...

Thank you so much for the info! I just tried calling the branch manager but no one answered the phone. I'll also try emailing and see what comes of it. Since y'all are in the Richmond area, do you personally have any doctors, nutritionists, etc. that you know of to either recommend or avoid? Thank you!

Thank you SO much for your reply! I really appreciate it. I'll definitely talk to my GI about the pancreatin stuff when I see him again next month. What exactly is pancreatin and how do I get some? Yeah, I turned 21 in July, so I really only got to enjoy being that age for about a month or so, but I'm not a big drinker anyway so I don't miss the alcohol so...

Hey y'all, just wondering if there are any groups in the Richmond, Virginia area. Please let me know if anyone knows anything. Thanks!

Ok, I'm really really at a loss for what's going on inside me, and apparently all of my doctors are, too. After several years of feeling generally crappy, I tried going on the Celiac diet after my gastroenterologist had suggested it back in early September. After being on the diet for about one 1/2 months, I was noticing just a slight amount of difference...

haha, yeah I also thought that was amusing! And I absolutely love doughnuts, too! What a waste! Several months back, I decided to be bold and ate like 5 doughnuts over the course of 3 days. I was sick for a month it seemed, but man was it worth it! And baking some gluten free doughnuts would be a very lucrative business, I believe- I know I'd order some every...

That's crazy that having a nickel allergy could be linked to having Celiac! I'm so glad that someone posted this! I have a nickel allergy, and when I got my ears pierced when I was 14, I ended up having a reaction and the earring became enclosed in my ear lobe and was really gross. I had to have surgery to get it out. When I was 18, I got the side of my bottom...

Nope, I don't have any recorded history of any neurological/mental issues, but I do have a 14 year history of unexplained chest pains. I've been to several different cardiologists and my heart has been ruled out as a cause, but a pulmonologist wrote in my records that I have asthma and placed me on meds. for it for several months only to find out that I don...

Thank y'all a lot for your help. This group really is an excellent and helpful place. It's so nice to know that there are so many others who have the same health issues going on who can commiserate!

Hey y'all, I'm new here and was just wondering if anyone here has a career in the field of law enforcement? I'm a full time college student and have wanted to be a police officer my entire life. I'm just worried that since I'm sick a lot because of Celiac, if any of y'all that are in the field would know if I should look for a different career path. I've...
