    I eat the Westbrae organic pinto and red beans every day without any problems though I am not too sensitive. I used to eat the great northern beans but they would sometimes give me some bloating (probably not gluten related). rob

    I was sent to a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy. I mentioned that I sometimes had diarrhea after eating a salad which I figured was a developing allergy to some type of vegetable. He did a celiac blood test which came back positive which of course I thought was a mistake as I almost lived on bread but never had a problem with it. A biopsy confirmed...

    Sorry to hear your a member of the club . I would highly recommend the book "Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic" by Green and Jones. I never had a direct reaction to eating gluten before my diagnosis but I glutened myself accidentally after being gluten free for a few weeks and was surprised to have a reaction. It was actually quite satisfying (the...

    Your rant was pretty well written. I will suggest that you and your family are trying to maintain the same roles but the circumstances have changed which requires a different relationship. It may have been that "your mother cooks, you eat and all is good" worked before but it won't work now. A change in roles is always difficult. I don't know what the...

    Hopefully I am not breaking any terms of service for this site but in the Files section of the SillyYaks yahoo group is a gluten-free menu listing for 230 restaurants. You will need to be a member to access these files. rob

    Forgot to add my tip that for a celiac who doesn't like to cook, having a rice cooker with a timer has been a life saver. I load it up in the morning and it is ready when I get home.

    I was in the check out of whole foods and the person behind me had a clear plastic bag of a dozen bagels. I was actually disgusted by the sight which amazed me as I loved bread before my diagnosis. I wonder how many gluten-free people have cravings now vs. those that are repulsed by the forbidden foods.

    You had a rough couple of days there. I am still working out my rules for eating out but they are currently always have low expectations if I don't know what is in it, don't eat it but I generally trust the restaurant chefs if they say and it looks gluten free if I am hungry, bring food I don't know what to do about the really annoying helpful comments...

    You might find this Science Friday podcast interesting as it suggests there is hope that there may be a treatment for type 1 diabetes someday. Open Original Shared Link rob

    Your vacation sounds like a great opportunity to practice the "I have a food allergy..." speech or however you prefer to approach it without being concerned about whether your going to get glutened. In my opinion, relax and enjoy the vacation. When you have been gluten free for a while, then you'll need to be more careful. Good luck with the diagnosis...

    Before my diagnosis, I did not have any gastro symptoms from eating breads or anything with gluten though I would have a strong reaction from eating raw vegetables. I figure the roughage was upsetting the already irritated intestines. In retrospect I could recognize some non gastro symptons. After being gluten free, I will now have a definite and sometimes...

    Also being new to all of this as of 2 months ago I would have to repeat the recommendation made by Gemini for the book by Peter Green and Rory Jones. In addition to helping me to distinguish all the misinformation which is floating around it helped to prepare me for the inevitable questions I got from my family and friends. It was nice to have facts to...
