Yes! use a different cookie sheet that is only for gluten free! And make sure eveything else she bakes with and uses to touch your food is throughly cleaned before she starts with the gluten-free stuff

Always bring something, be it something you bring just for yourself or something to share with everyone. I would agree-eating a big dinner beforehand is always a good idae to make sure you aren't hungry at the start of the event, but have fun and don't worry about the food if you don't have to-make sure you have options and a most time fruit and veggies can...

ARCHIVED Fading Fast. And I'm Just Getting Started :(
flagbabyds replied to Cderbogh's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
From the middle of my Freshmen year of high school to almost the end of my Senior year of high school I was corn free (along with gluten free--have been since I was 2 yrs old), corn is MUCH harder to cut out than gluten, but it can be done. I would suggest doing the corn and gluten free thing for a while, then slowly start trying small amounts of corn (for... -
ARCHIVED Always Bring Your Own Food!
flagbabyds replied to bartfull's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The 2 things I learned when I was diagnosed (at 20 months old), so really the 2 things my mom taught me when I was young are 1. never be too nice 2. always carry rice cakes I'm 22 now, I still have a bag of ricecakes in every bag I have, along with a protein bar and such for the moments where I don't feel comfortable eating what is being served. -
ARCHIVED Hairspray, Makeup
flagbabyds replied to cavernio's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I honestly wouldn't take the risk. I am very sensitive, even though no skin reactions or anything you don't really notice how many times you touch your face during the day, and then picking up food and stuff it MAY get into your digestive tract, it's not likely, but it is your wedding day-so I would go with I would rather be safe than sorry (also congratulations... -
ARCHIVED Can't Keep Food Down
flagbabyds replied to Tyler's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It could be a lot of different things but for some short term relief I would ask your doctor about sublingual Zofran, it's the antinausea medicine that he/she may have prescribed for you but it'll dissolve under your tongue instead of you having to swallow it, it'll enter your bloodstream and since it's not entering your GI system should actually help with... -
Hey guys, So about once a year I come back on here to post an update for the newbies and such to say that it is possible to be gluten free as a teenage, as a college student, and as a person for 20 years. Today is my 20th anniversary of my "diagnosis day" as my parents call it, and I'm happy to say that I've been doing great (about to graduate from college...

ARCHIVED Texas Rangers Stadium And Surrounding Areas
flagbabyds posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Hey guys, I'm going to be going to the World Series this weekend (WOO) in Arlington, and I'm gonna need food, I'm staying in a small hotel place I think and I have NO idea where I should start for getting food, I'm only gonna be there for 2.5 days so it doesn't have to be much but I'm not gonna be eating in the stadium if I can manage it. Any suggestions... -
Open Original Shared Link Unfortunately, while they are talking about Celiac Disease (which is always good), the doctor however says that people who are diagnosed (actually and don't just go on the diet for fun...) could possibly reintroduce gluten into their diet, which is UNTRUE.

Thanks guys! maybe just maybe i'll pop my head in here a few more times a year when i have some more free time...

ARCHIVED Never Eating Gluten Again!
flagbabyds replied to reeetz's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've gotten symptoms up to a week and a half later, and being in college it truely SUCKS but you just gotta deal with it.. when I get the awful glutening to the point of me not being able to keep anything down prescription zofran and phenergen do wonders to at least make it so i don't get so dehydrated that I end up in the hospital on an IV drip for 8 hours... -

ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed Away From Home
flagbabyds replied to Rebecca Madrid's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It takes a while to get used to everything, I was diagnosed when I was merely 20 months old and sometimes I still get frustrated with what people say and how they act around the gluten-free lifestyle. I find that when I bring my own food (or drink) places it makes it easier, even if the food is different you're still at least eating or drinking something... -

ARCHIVED Raising Our Celiac Kids -rock Support Group
flagbabyds replied to stolly's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
when i was diagnosed in 1992 there was NOTHING. around second grade there was an adult celiac group that started at stanford. i started attending, but really was the only person under 30 (not to mention i hadn't even gotten into double digits yet...) and i felt a little awkward, cause it was just weird. In 4th grade they put on the first celiac conference... -
