    I've been at this a few months. I know my first month I wasn't totally gluten-free but now I feel confident I have been. I decided to eat wheat all day today and see what would happen. I mean, I ate bread, fried chicken, cupcakes, etc and not one reaction. I didn't have to run to the bathroom, I didn't feel sick. The reason I did this was because I am speading...

    I'm confused, can anyone help? I thought that not ALL cinnamon was gluten-free? Because of dyes, etc. I haven't found any info on it here or on the web and have avoided it. Please let me know.

    A few friends mentioned the dental school which will be fine for my husband however- I have to be knocked out for at least 4 of these teeth. I wish it was easier for me. I don't know if he's tacking on the cost due to me having sedation or what.

    So I worked the nerve up to go to the dentist. The girls at the desk said he could give me an estimate for my teeth with the prior xrays yet when I was there he needed 14 of them which I couldn't pay for. I had a panarex (spelling?) and 2 xrays prior and I guess since they maybe knew my father was paying he would cover it. The dentist said he needed further...

    That one link brought up a point of saying wheat-free wasn't always gluten-free. Scary because I have bought just products saying wheat-free. The labels confuse me though. What exact things should I be looking for? I think I read MSG can have it too?

    Every time I go to the some place other than Wegman's who lablels their foods great or Whole Foods who has a gluten-free section two things happen. I get lost and frustrated. I feel like I can barely eat anything that isn't labeled. I am sure it's because I am a newbie. Giant around me is lame, nothing really gluten-free labeled. I also need to educate myself...

    16 cavities and I have to be in twlight sleep soon to get them fixed. I have an appt. Weds and I am terrified because my teeth are so sensitive air hurts them let alone a drill. My hair has been thinning for about 4-5 years. Always thought it was from having my daughter or horomones but seeing this I guess it's allergy related. So yes, I am there with...

    I also felt strange asking a hostess about gluten-free and now I don't care. It was hard for some reason and even now I still get the "what?" kinda expression but I just say "I'm allergic to wheat"... that seems to help. You are right though- this is about me- not them and I don't wan to eat gluten on purpose.

    Amy's makes the dairy-free, gluten-free pizza and I didn't care for it. It wasn't horrible but wasn't great. She makes other products that are good. It's all about finding out what you can eat. I think I am going dairy-free now because of the suggestions on here and I was just getting used to gluten. Gluten can be overwhelming but just like anything you...

    I did ask for the number of the chef who caters it and I still haven't gotten an answer but I will call the main event and see what they can do. I guess I was upset how family was treating me. I have a feeling my huband's mother will be the same way. She announced several times how we have to eat close due to "my stomach" and it hurt my feelings because she...

    So it's week 4 of this diet, no results but I am still trying. I haven't ben confirmed with Celiac, just a borderline IGA level down. Years of suffering, I am trying this diet and seeing if it helps. My husband and I go to a charity function every year with our company. It's revolved around dinner, a very very expenisve dinner which my father pays for...

    I have the internal and external. After the birth of my son 12 years ago, I got them pretty bad. I was upset being so young and I wanted to get them removed. I would read on the net how much trouble and pain it was to get them removed though and it turned me off. i only get this about twice a year but the blood is scary where I question it. I really appreciated...

    I feel like I have something worse than Celiac. As I watched Oprah a few days ago a woman commented on Dr. Oz and how she had constant diarrhea & blood in stool. She went to the doctor's and at 32 found out she had colon cancer, stage 3. Scary! After I gave birth to my kids, they were both HUGE babies (my daughter was over 9 pounds), I got hemmroids which...

    is this something a doctor can do or order from bloodwork or something else? I'm still getting sick after eating and extreme gas. I'm riding off one borderline IGA level for having celiac. So far no improvements on the diet (3 weeks). I keep thinking if I truly had Celiac or a wheat issue, something would feel better by now because otherwise I wouldn't...

    Gluten-Free for Dummies is a good start too-
  16. FlourShopGirl
    I do. At first I didn't. I was upset about finding foods I could eat but the more I dig, the better it is. I think starting out it's about gathering as much info as you can. My husband thinks we eat healthier, especially me. I eat more steamed items now and I actually don't miss bread all that much. And if it's going towards me feeling better than I...

    It was worth the 30 min drive to get a box of their pizza. You have to order the Medium which is enough dinner and lunch tomorrow and I overate! It was soooooo good, it was better than regular Pizza from Pizza Hut and I am not just saying that. It was cool to see a Celiac related things around and the gluten-free on their door. They also sell regular pizza...

    I often see on here after eating a meal at a restaurant someone got sick consuming something not gluten-free. I'll see someone say they had nausea. I tend to eat and about 10-15 mins later have to find a bathroom with extreme cramping and the urgency to go. Half the time, I wonder how I make it to a bathroom. People joke I should wear diapers. When I spoke...

    Wendy's sounds great now, I often just got the Chili & Potato before. I carry gluten-free bars in my purse but when I want cheaper food options, I've been stumped. My husband's been amazing with all of this for me. He'll wait until we find somewhere for both of us however, when you are stuck paying $11+ for just one person, it's been goofy. I appreciate...

    A couple times with my husband I've been out, it's late and I am hungry. The usual chicken sandwich from Burger King can't do anymore, so where do you eat? I feel very helpless eating out besides big chains like Unos, Outback, etc. I just don't want to drop $15 on lunch but I want the option of eating out. We went into Chipole's and I asked about the gluten...

    I would try the diet for her and see what happens. I've been holding back trying the diet for my son who has ADHD. It's just a major change although I think maybe I am building the walls not to start it for him. He eats it at home but not school. There are plenty of books (check Amazon) and I even made cookies tonight (Arrowhead boxed ones) and everyone loved...

    My son is 12 and has ADHD. I am gluten-free right now but it's really hard keeping him gluten-free. He wants to eat the lunches at school (which aren't actually that bad health-wise) but obviously not gluten-free. I've heard Gluten-free Casein-free would be a great option to meds but does anyone have personal experiences with this>

    I always enjoy your posts. I have also thought twice about getting my teeth pulled. My folks are old fashioned in the sense where they think it's a cry for attention or my teeth. I do not want my jaw caved in and I guess I have to work with what I have until it gets to a point I can't work with them. Your signature says so much. It's amazing how wheat...

    It's funny, you would think Soy would be good for you. That's probably the product I consume the least however I do use those fake sweetners. I know those can't be good. I haven't put too much thought into it being more than just gluten (I have thought about Dairy) and your reply makes me think I should cut more things out...

    I truly appreciate all the replies on this. It has made me think twice about implants. One of the main issues surrounding my teeth is how sensitive they are. I've had several frustrated dentists and one called me "brutal". That was for a root canal and I remember just telling him it hurt and he got really annoyed. I guess I was hoping the implants would...
