  1. Hi! I DEFINITELY get like this after eating gluten!!!! And if I have some, I go into withdrawal-ish behaviours (moodiness, irritability, obsessing about having "bad" foods) and then into a depressed kind of state. Weeeeiiiird! I never knew other people experienced this as well! Also, it seems to be triple the severity if I have glutened candy...
  2. Hi! I know that this might seem like an obvious question...but have you thought of switching doctors or getting a second opinion..or going to a G.I. specialist? You should never feel like you have to be stuck with a bad doc. I have personally been lucky enough to a have a WONDERFUL doc who referred me to a great specialist, but am realizing after joining...

I find it...
  6. Hi again everyone, Thanks sooo much for all the responses! It is really nice to see that other gluten-intolerant poeple out there have ben put in this same situation and had the courage to just bring their own food and be firm.

  8. Hello all you lovely gluten-free people, Let me first say hello as I am new to this community (Canadian) and also this way of life. I was disgnosed with extreme gluten sensitivity a month ago now (yes----my specialist actually took the time to test me and when celiac blood test came back negative (haven't had biopsy...don't want it...) but I still had...

  10. Wow---thanks sooooo much for the info, Wonka! I go to UBC I will definitely try the indian restaurants nearby UBC/broadway area...there are so many! Also Cafe D'Lite has always peaked my interest but I have never ventured in...maybe now I will! Thanks again!!!!!
  11. Hey fellow Canadians! Just wanting to say hello, as I am new to the gluten-free way of life..but so far, loving how am I feeling despite the difficulties. I am currently living in Vancouver for school, but am also a prairie-gal (Calgary). So....hello
