    I've been gluten free since October of 2007. I lost about 35lbs in the first two months. Now I can't lose a pound to save my life. What I notcied after speakign with my doctor was that most of the gluten-free foods are super high in calories. Try tracking your calories a little closer. You should burn about 2000 calories a day without exercise so you...

    Yes you should. I've been getting glutend and not knowing why. It seems I didn't fully understand the consiquences of being lazy. I am now in the process of buying all new kitchen utensils, pots and pans etc. I am also going to separate my food from my families. Good luck! Chris

    I actually called the Starbucks 800 number to ask about gluten. I was told that all latte's and other coffee drinks are gluten-free with the exception of the Mocha drinks.

    Katebuggie, I hear ya. I'm not sure if I was more in pain or surpise. I'm leaning towards the acid from the tomatos but I too have been eating more tomatos that aren't in sauce without a problem. Funny though how the first time I got sick from my wifes home made sauce she used Classico Plum Tomatoes. Chris

    Hey Dave, I was diagnosed in October of 2007 and had many of the same feelings you are having now. You've found this site faster then I did thought as I've only been on for about 2 weeks. We are both about the same age so I can relate to your sorrow. The one thing I can tell you is that this will better your life. Once the initial shock is over you...

    Welcome to the club! I'm new to this site but was diagnosed back in October of 2007. I remember all too well the shock of discovering how many foods have wheat. After 8 months I am still finding gluten in items that I use everyday. Just yesterday I discovered wheat was in my hair gel. Everyone that I've talked to has different simptoms and...

    My wife hasn't kissed me for years! Just kidding. I did think abou the lipstick though and have my wife checking. I also just realized that the new hair gel my wife bought has wheat in it. HAIR GEL!!!! I also agee that I need to be in a differnt mindset. I realize now that when I by cold cuts that I have to have a separate package for me. I...

    I haven't been a running for some time now but I do play basketball a couple of times a week. Since being diagnosed last fall I have a hard time recovering the next day. I haven't had an injuries but after playing I don't sleep well due to discomfort and the next day I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I'm seeing a chiroprator and that seems to help...

    Since the topic of bread came up I have a recomendation. If you live in the North East there is company called Against the Grain Gourmet (www.againstthegraingourmet.com). Their products can be found in Whole Foods in about 14 NE States. I have to say this has been a god send. The original rolls are the only product I've had and that's becasue there's...

    I think missing beer has been the hardest thing for me, especially with the weather getting nice here in NY. I personally have not had an issue with gluten-free beer. Your problem may have something to do with the specific food you're eating. If you don't have many carbs in your system then there isn't much to absorb the alchohol other then your body so...

    After reading the posts over the past couple of days it seems I may not understand what types of vitamins I should be taking. My doctor originally told me to take a multi vitamin, calcuim and folic acid or fLame Advertisemente. I also see a chiropractor and he suggested: coral calcuim, omega 3, B complex, Vitamin E and D. Any suggestions are much appreciated...

    I can only imagine how tough it must being dealing with Celiac and in college. The first thing I'd say is stop worrying about what other people think. Worry about yourself first. Anyone that has an issue with your condition isn't worth your friendship. In addition to all the great ideas on the other posts I would suggest Ensure. It's gluten free...

    I thought of that but I scrubbed the Pizza stone before I used it. I was only suspicious of the sauce becasue I got sick once before but while eating sauce with pasta.

    Thank you everyone for your posts. The Pizza Crust comments from celiacmom seems to make sence to me but I'm also think that the acid in the sauce is giving me an issue. The kicker is that I really liked the pizza I made. Just my luck. I'm gonna try again in a couple of days and see what happens. Thanks again. Chris

    I'm new to the forum and have to say it's been a huge help. Tonight I had an issue with my dinner and I'm not sure why. I made pizza with a gluten-free crust from Whole Foods, tomato sauce from a pork store and fresh mozzarella from the the same store. Now I didn't ask about the sauce but the people at the store know that I'm a celiac and a have never...

    Can someone recommend a brand of Vodka that's safe for us Celiacs? I've been told that Belvedre is okay but the bottle says it's made from grain. I've also been told that Stoli is okay but it's not exactly my favorite. I'm missing Grey Goose and Kettle One.

    Peter, thanks. I don't have DH either but I suspect I have gluten somewhere in my diet. The toaster comment is interesting. Since being diagnosed I haven't eaten much bread or used the toaster oven. Recently I found a roll that I love ( www.againstthegraingourmet.com) and have been toasting in the toster over. I've been wrapping the roll in foil to avoid...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac in October of 2007. I felt great the first couple of months but I seem to be getting worse. I am living with a constant stomach ache and have no doubt that it's my own fault. The biggest issue I have is that I work from home and take care of my 4 year old son during the day until my wife gets home. I am constaintly handling...

    I had a similar issue a couple of weeks back at Chili's. Silly me thought that by them having a gluten free menu that the server actually knew about the restrictions. So when my gluten-free meal came to the table there was a nice big piece of garlic toast on the plate. Shame on the chef as well. Like an IDIOT I just wiped the crumbs off my plate (the...

    Fredora, I just got back from Disney a couple of weeks ago. Stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. Expensive but nice. My suggestion would be to call ahead to the Disney dinning hotline. I called once I got there and told them about my gluten issue. I had a chef waiting for me at my table, each time the chef and manager also came to the table to make sure...

    I haven't had TJ's granola but I can speak for Bakery on Main. I am totally hooked on the cinnamon and raison granola. It comes in a green bag. I get it at the local health food store or Whole Foods. I can't say enough about how good this tastes. Yogurt to me is just not that good unless I has granola and this pretty much saved my breakfast routine since...

    Hi...The recipe below originally called for 3 tablespoons of flour and 3 of corn starch. I eliminated the flour and only add 4 1/2 ts of corn starch. I have to say this is a great recipe. The next time I make it I am going to try and cut some calories by using so non-fat ingregients. If you don't have a spring form pan you can pick one up pretty cheap...
