    I've started just using regular cooking oil (the kind in the bottle) and a refillable oil spritzer. I think it tastes better than Pam

    I was a supid college kid who went off the diet (strict on it for a few years). I aws at my skinniest just before I went off the diet. Met my husband, went off the diet, and by the time I got married, and just ewnt back on the gluten-free diet I was at my heaviest. That was 9 months ago....still struggling to get the weight off. I told H after this weekend...

    Thanks...I'm not much of a fan of blue cheese but do occassionaly like it in some dishes. But I remember reading somewhere once upon a time that it was not gluten-free. At least I don't have to worry so much about it anymore. Thanks for the clarification

    I've always been told that Blue Cheese is not gluten free, it's made out of molded bread I believe....but more and more I see restaurants say that their Blue Cheese dressing is gluten-free. Can someone help clarify this for me? Are there some blue cheeses that are gluten-free?

    Their pizza can varry depending on who cooks it (and for how long). I've had them under done, over done, and just right. I'm not a fan of a lot of sauce on their pizza so I am a big fan of Uno's Pizza.

    Hm....maybe I have a lazy bowel as well....I'm lucky if I go once every other day, drink water and eat veggies like it's going out of style! I have an apponitment with my GI doc on Tuesday, I'll ask her about it then.

    LMAO - you know what I just realized that this post said "20+ years gluten free" not "anyone 20+ years old" LMAO!!! Sorry about that....but at least you get a perspective from someone a little greener....and who went off the diet for a period of time as well!

    Hey neighbor!!!! I'm actually in Lowell. As far as I know there really aren't any support groups in this area...but there are some in Newton I believe. I have to go digging through old emails to find it though :-)

    I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience....I've never had an issue when I go. I haven't been to Outback in years (but have been craving it lately)....My husband and I usually go to Uno's...and also have never had a problem there either.

    What is the best advice you can give somebody starting out? Don't cheat!!! not worth it even if you feel better! I went off the diet for 2 years because I never had many symptoms when I was diagnosed (family history was the cause for testing). Then i started reading more about it - and notice that I had a lot of symptoms that they don't really tell you...

    My cousin was in and out of the hospital from age of 3 to 6 years old. Diagnosis - Celiac. Since her diagnosis, myself, aunt and grandmother have all been diagnosed - and it's been about 20 years since my cousin was diagnosed. It comes from my father's side, but he doesn't have it (according to him) - but he's been showing more sympoms lately of celiac...

    I developed more acne after I went off the pill and had an IUD put in - I'm chalking it up to decrease in hormones that was helping with the acne. I feel like i'm 14 again! I also felt dizzy after, the doc said that I didn't need a ride home, I'm glas my H was with me when i had it in. I went upstairs, took 4 advil (per doc order) and crashed into bed...
