    If I realized I've gotten gluten early I take a laxative. While it sounds counter-intuitive I figure the faster it moves through my GI system the less will absorb to cause the symptoms that last for weeks in me. The few times I've tried this I've bounced back much more quickly. Of course one has to be very careful about dehydrating so I pound water too.

    As someone who understands the distillation process I always assumed that distilled liquors would have to be fine, as there would be no proteins in them. However repeated experience with grain based vodkas tells me otherwise. I get horribly sick from an amount of liquor that has never every caused that reaction in me, and my "hangover" lasts >1 week with...

    Yep its different for everyone. I don't get GI symptoms unless I get a big dose of gluten. My symptoms are really bad body aches, joint aches and brain fog/exhaustion for about two weeks!!

    I had an awful experience out with a friends family. I was trying to explain basics to this poor waiter at a non-gluten free restaurant, and it was his second day waiting tables And he's all panicked and comes back confused after talking to his manager. So I'm trying to clarify what types of cooking is ok for my meat and veg and my friends dad, who is another...

    I've had good experiences at: dickie brennans steakhouse, emerils delmonico, rio mar, doson's noodle house, zeas bistro, superior grill, and gordon biersch. Also recently found out about Casamento's restaurant which has all gluten free fried seafood (so no cross contamination!!) and naked pizza that has gluten-free pizza dough (but could have cross contamination...

    I still have cravings 4 years later. I've noticed they happen more when I'm sick. I've been able to find safe versions of most things but the two that are still really really hard for me are 1) goldfish crackers 2) ravioli. I found some frozen ravioli but they are super expensive to ship, someday. Most other foods if I want them bad enough I figure it...

    I've had the same experience. No matter how much I cared for my teeth they would still have a bazillion cavities. I had one dentist accuse me of being a bulemic because of how bad my teeth were. My husband always forgets to brush, doesn't floss etc and he never has any cavities! I'm so sure that celiac has something to do with how bad my teeth are and I've...

    I don't know if its in walking distance but there is a cambodian restaurant called "elephant walk" that has a gluten free menu. It was one of the best meals out I've had since being diagnosed and they were super helpful.

    I usually keep some bars (lara bars, think thin) in my backpack for emergency meals. I also keep snacks with me all the time like carrot sticks, nuts, chex. I bring leftovers from dinner with me too. I freeze them overnight and they keep until I pop them in the microwave for lunch. I don't like gluten-free breads either but I've found that the brown rice...

    You sound like you use the same lines as me! Do you know about the dior addict gloss?? I read the package and couldn't find any ingredient but their contact form on the website was broken and so I couldn't get an answer from them definitively.

    Thanks! I'm already in love with NARS lipgloss and will have to try some more of their stuff! I had read that the smashbox eyeshadow was ok but didn't know if it was their whole line. I was looking at the starter kit today and just didn't know about that one ingredient! Thanks again

    I know tocopherol can be wheat derived but what about tocopherol acetate?? I've only seen it on here as soy derived but want to make sure. I found a great set from smashbox but this ingredient was worrisome to me so I held of on buying it.

    I'm in med school. I live off campus and I make everything myself from scratch. What's most annoying for me is that we have tons of free lunches at school and its ALWAYS pizza or subway. So I'm perpetually surrounded by people scarfing down pizza while I sit in lunch lectures which gets old. At least since I'm in medschool most of my friends actually understand...

    I usually shop at wholefoods. It is ridiculous expensive but I don't do meat with every meal so it balances out for me. I get my seafood locally since I live in New Orleans.

    I was pretty upset when I was diagnosed 3 years ago. Though at the time I was desperate to figure out my symptoms which at least forced my hand in trying the diet. At the time I was a waitress and had to constantly be surrounded by food I couldn't eat (there wasn't a single safe dish for me at the restaurant!!). My friends and family were sooooo supportive...

    I'm a former veg of 10 years. Before realizing that I needed to be gluten-free I had started eating seafood again because my body was craving it soooo intensely. I really didn't eat well before my diagnosis. My staples were cheese and wheat products (both of which I am highly sensitive to). So I'm sure my body was trying to tell me it wasn't getting the nutrients...

    YaY I get to keep my favorite hair stuff!!! Thanks for doing the legwork on this one

    I wanted to add to the medical aspect of this debate. It definitely makes sense not to get gluten into your eye. Your tears drain directly into your nose which then drains into your pharynx which drains into your esophagus. Its entirely reasonable to not want gluten anywhere near your eyes! I also know that I don't want it on my hands from application. If...

    They only time I've had problems are with expensive reds. Which I guess makes sense now! Thanks

    OMG that was fast!! Thanks

    Does anyone have a list of ingredients to look out for in cosmetics? I just figured out that I've been reacting to my lip gloss and I'm going to cleanse my cabinet of all things gluten related just to be ultra sure. Thanks!!!

    Does it say on the label that the wine is "unoaked" or do we need to call individual wineries?? Does anyone have a safe list going?

    Would you mind elaborating on why no advil or ibuprofen? I'm pretty sure I have DH though I haven't had a skin biopsy. I got glutened by accident (just figured out that it was the reeses eggs I had during easter) and had a MRI with iodine contrast in the same week and got itchy red raised bumps all over my legs focused around pressure points. I have never...

    Hey y'all. I had a MRI last week and really felt glutened after it. I had a bad headache and was super sleepy and out of it . . . I barely remember the night after the scan. Well now I have what looks like DH popping up all over my body. It started on the arm where I was injected with contrast for the MRI and has moved all over my body over the past week...

    I've been loosing my mind for a few days now. I have what I thought were bug bites popping up all over my body. At first I thought it was fleas since we're headed into spring and I could have carried some in to my indoor kitties . . . I cleaned all the bedding etc and checked all the kitties and not a flea to be found. Then yesterday I killed a mosquito so...
