    Do you have a microwave? If so go to Amys.com they hace gluten-free foods that taste really good. But not all of them are so make sure you double check before purchasing. Also, if you like tuna mix some up in a bowl with whatever you like in it (for me it's mayo pickles & onions) and take a little salad, use the tuna as your dressing, or take tuna w/...

    lovegrov pretty much summed it up. You may have had it all your life but it could have just recently been triggered by stress, pregnancy, surgery, illness. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years, and had celiac disease for 2 years. I think mine came from stress and illness at the same time. But thinking back I had a lot of symptoms over the years. I was diagnosed...

    Wow, that's great! My fiancee and I have been putting off getting married because we're opening a new business and we just moved, and all the fun stuff that goes with it. But maybe you could give me some info about your mother in law and where she's at (I'm in Las Vegas) and when we finally decide to get married maybe I could contact her???It would be great...

    You mentioned that you are getting married next month. Have you thought about a little gluten free bride & groom cake so that you two can still do the slicing of the cake and all that good wedding stuff? If you can't find a baker who can help you, you may want to start experimenting and try to make your own. Maybe the cake decorator can still decorate...

    When I was first diagnosed I weighed about 175 lbs (overweight for age 19), after the first 6 mo's of being gluten-free I began losing weight steadily. Within the first year I was down to 129 lbs. I now vary between 130 and 137 depending on if I eat anything with substance that week. My nutritionist was worried at worried, but I am healthier now than I was...

    My mother in law has fibromyalgia and the hurt all over part is probably that. The flu symptoms are probably more celiac disease than Fibromyalgia, but could be both. It'll take a few weeks to get used to the feelings associated with celiac disease, but after a few months of the diet you shouldn't feel flu like anymore, but again with the Fibromyalgia there...

    Well, I doubt if it's nerves, but it could very well be IBS or if it is celiac disease maybe you'rre accidentally eating things that are still bothering you. It takes a few months for the lining of your stomach to heal maybe milk/dairy is harming you too or acidic foods. Try starchy foods like baked potatoes, or white rice (with or without sugar or preserves...

    I've looked into this, spoke w/ my doctor's and nutritionists, and all have helped me to come to the conclusion that it can't be cured. Maybe down the line there could be a possibility of something to prevent the reactions caused by eating glutenous foods, but I think that's a long way away. The only thing to do for now is follow the diet and hope for the...

    PF Changs and Wildfire also have Gluten free menu's and "Allergy alerts" for those that let them know they have celiac disease, that way they can use different measures of safety as well as seperate work areas if needed. For the most part though if you let a server know that you are extremely allergic to wheat they'll cook you burger, fish, chicken, etc....

    I'm with Pam, I also don't see a need to keep seperate pots, pans, utensils, etc... My fiancee and I are very careful about washing everything very well, and everything goes in the dishwasher. I do have a seperate strainer, and I believe that is important because of all the holes and the fact that when noodles are hot they do stick to things easier and w...

    Sorry for all the problems you are dealing with right now. I had almost all the same problems from childhood on. I was even getting IV's of iron 3 times a week because I was so anemic. Once diagnosed though I learned that gluten isn't my only enemy. Steer clear of oats, barley, anything malted (lots of rice things are), caramel color and Red 40. I know it...
