    Have any of you had the ELISA food intolerance test that you do at home done? Open Original Shared Link I have been sick at least once a week sometimes for two or three days in the last month. I have been gluten-free for 7 months and I am really very, very careful. Our house is totally gluten-free. I even buy gluten-free cereal and snacks for when my...

    Is the FSA an option if I am self-employed? I am guessing if this is an arrangement with an employer that it is not. Although I do have a very nice employer now.

    The only vinegars that you would need to avoid are malt vinegars or any vinegars that are made outside of the United States. Other countries do not have the same standards or restrictions that the US does so that is true of almost everything - if it comes from outside the US be very careful. Heinz is one brand that labels gluted so you can use Heinz...

    IMHO it is depressing to find out that for the rest of your life you will have to eat differently than most of your friends and family. Don't misunderstand me...I am relieved to know what is wrong and to know that by changing what I eat I can stop being so sick all the time!! It does cause other changes in our lives though and being depressed as we learn...

    ARCHIVED Manicures

    I have not gotten migraines from getting my nails done but I have gotten them many times from other strong smells (or bright lights or loud noises). The smells for the acrylic nails are very strong. Perhaps that is the cause.

    Hormel meat is either gluten free or the gluten is clearly labeled. That includes Oscar Meyer deli meats that are prepackaged. Yes the slicer gets contaminated from some of the meats and also the scale and the gloves that the workers are wearing. I ask them to change their gloves and put a clean sheet of wax paper on the scale and hope that the person...

    I remember a few years ago I was trying to get in contact with the Tic-Tac company for a project we were doing at school. I don't remember what the reason was but they were extemely difficult to track down. I am thinking that it was such a small company that they didn't have a web page or 800 number listed anywhere. I believe they are one of the few companies...

    Pardon my ignorance but what are digestive enzymes and what do they do?

    ARCHIVED Tipping

    Suzn14806 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Is there a proper way to tip a cook/chef? I like to tip the server generously who has communicated my special needs but I would also like to show my appreciation to the person who has prepared my meal. I don't know if I should leave extra money with the server for the cook or what? How do you handle this?

    ARCHIVED Grieving

    Suzn14806 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Last night I went grocery shopping. I have only been diagnosed for four weeks but I have been diligent in researching and reading every book written on celiac disease. I have tried to be optimistic and upbeat about the "challenge" of learning to live with a whole new lifestyle. But as I was going from aisle to aisle I found myself growing sadder and sadder...

    I was very impressed. It is three full pages and is very informative. This must be take a Celiac to lunch month or something. All the magazines are writing about us. LOL

    "The Gluten Free Kitchen" by Roben Ryberg is also a very good book. My husband and I used to eat out at least 4 nights a week. That was our lifestyle. I am adjusting to cooking my own food and eating at home. It is a major challenge but I am excited about it because I am already feeling soooo much better. I need to add that this board is a real lifesaver...

    I enjoyed the humor in Against the Grain too but I think it is important to not that it was published quite a while ago so some of the nutritional information offered is no longer accurate. I appreciated he down to earth approach for asking for what you need prepared the way you need it without apologizing for it. She is really good!! Sue gluten-free...

    I would like to find a cracker like the buttery Ritz type crackers. I have found a few rice crackers that are tasty but not exactly what I am looking for. Have you found a brand to buy or a recipe for anything like that? Thanks!

    Hi everyone I was diagnosed a week ago. I have been gluten-free for 5 days!! I am also hungry all the time which really makes little sense at this point because even eating gluten-free means that I have terrible cramps and diarrhea. I am trying to be optimistic that that will improve with time. I have been reading everything I can get my...
