    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I knew that the Lactaid Milk was safe to drink because I had called and asked them. However, I forgot to ask about the lactaid cottage cheese. Does anyone know if it is gluten free?

    Xzandra, I wish you lots of luck, and I hope you will be feeling better soon. I immediately felt a little better after being gluten free for only one week. My Mom seemed a little skeptical at times too when I was so sick. She couldn't understand why I wanted to lay in bed all day. Now my family members all feel bad that they didn't believe me. ...

    Sounds like Celiac Disease to me! I also had almost every symptom you listed before I went Gluten Free. The back pain and the extreme fatigue were the worst parts for me. I also felt like some people thought I was making it up. It was making me crazy. You definitely need to get tested. Good Luck!

    Thanks for all the ideas! I am in Jacksonville, FL. I agree that the Pamela's cakes are Very Good, but I was just thinking that I wanted something that tasted close to the cakes I always used to order from The Publix Bakery. YUM!! My mouth is watering just thinking about that butter cream icing. I will try to contact some of these bakeries mentioned...

    My Birthday is coming up in 2 weeks, and I want a cake that tastes like a REAL birthday cake. Can anyone suggest a gluten free bakery that ships cakes to Florida. Thanks!

    I think about this all the time as well. I read that your body has the same reaction to gluten if you eat just one crumb of bread, or a whole piece of bread. Can this be true??

    Talked to my doctor today, and she said that there is no exact generic for Yasmin (even though the pharmacists are saying that it is the same).

    Glutino makes 4 different gluten free meals now. I have found them at health food stores, and Native Sun. I like the chicken ranchero, even though it's not a great choice for me because I try to avoid nightshades.

    I know, isn't it crazy! One day I could EAT anything I wanted with no problems, and then I went on a trip to Las Vegas, and two things happened. I got some kind of bad stomach bug, and I got a tattoo. When I got back from my trip, I was MISERABLE for a year, and then was finally diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Now I have Celiac Disesae, and can't have...

    Hey! I wanted to share an experience I had with birth control pills. I have been on Yasmin for several years now. Several months ago I found out that there is a generic form called Ocella. I felt forced to switch because it was only $15, and they doubled the price of Yasmin to $60 (which I still don't think is right). Anyway, I have been on the Ocella...

    Hey! Does anyone know if yeast infection kits (like Monistat) are safe for people with celiac disease? Thanks

    Hey! My question is abut gluten-free cereal. I have been eating gluten-free cornflakes or Gorilla Munch ever since I found out I have Celiac Disease. I haven't found anything else that I like. My FAVORITE cereal before Celiac Disease was shredded wheat. Why is it NOT possible to find a gluten-free cereal made into a shredded wheat type of texture? Or...

    Thanks for all the replies. So, I went to Bonefish again, and had the Cobb Salad. It had the same salad dressing as the other one I had, and it had pine nuts as well. No problems!! It must have been a fluke. SO GLAD - becaause it was Fabulous!! It also had jerk chicken and mango in it. It's a GREAT gluten-free choice.

    Hey! I ate at Bonefish Grill a few days ago because I love their gluten free menu!! Anyway, I decided to have a salad (which I never do because I'm always suspicious of salad dressings). The salad is clearly marked Gluten Free, and I even asked for a list of ingredients in the salad dressing. It seemed to be gluten free. The salad was very basic, but...

    Hey! I read something about Neem on this site, and how it really helps with bloating. Just curious - has anyone tried it, and has anyone had good luck with it? I am always looking for new things to try to help with the Constant Bloating. I have been using it in place of digestive enzymes for a couple of days now to see if it helps. I don't know if it...

    Your post reminded me of a dream I had not too long ago. I dreamed that I jumped out of an airplane and started floating through the beautiful star-lit sky. I kept saying, "I'm Free - I'm Free!" I was thinking of NOTHING but floating. I feel like Celiac Disease has consumed my life. I want to be free again!!

    It's so interesting (and helpful) to read your replies! I actually did have my oldest son tested for Celiac last week because he has always had kind of a touchy stomach. I was so happy when his test came back negative. It would be one thing if I only had to cook gluten free for my kids, but I also have issues with soy, dairy, and nightshades. My food...

    This post caught my attention because cheating is all I can think of lately. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in March, and have tried to stay gluten free, but I am slowly losing it because I want things that I can't have MORE THAN EVER right now. I have 3 small kids, and it just about kills me fixing their dinners every night, and watching them eat...

    I am getting ready to attempt to make my first gluten free pie crust, and also some gluten free cornbread. Is it ok to substitute different flours? For example, if the pie crust calls for rice flour, can I use coconut flour instead? Does it matter which kind of flour you use as long as it is gluten-free? Thanks!!

    I thought I read on this site that Berry Berry Kix was gluten free. However, it says nothing about that on the box when I finally found it at Super Target. Anyone know?

    I feel like a large part of my day is spent trying to figure out what to eat, and what will make me feel better. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this forum to ask questions to because I really feel like most doctors don't really know. I have just recently started taking digestive enzymes, and they do seem to help. I went to my local health...

    Thanks for the advice. I think I will try the digest gold.

    I am trying to do anything and everything to make myself feel better these days. I can honestly say that trying to stay gluten free has been one of the most difficult challenges of my life ( and it has only been 5 months). Anyway, do digestive enzymes really help? And, does anyone have any suggestions of which ones are the best. I have been reading for...
