RESO

I have been searching around for generic allergy medications similar to something like claritin. I realize the brand name doesn't have gluten ingredients but it is expensive and I'm not sure it will work. My experience with allergy meds years ago was that even the "non-drowsy" meds would still make me very sleepy, so sleepy I couldn't work. I have looked...

Pretty sure that websites have these banner ads either required by the web host or to make money and the content is put up by the people that sell the ad space. In other words, a particular site has no control over what the entity selling the banner ads puts up.

I went to Nana's tonight to check out the food since I'd heard they were doing gluten free pizza and I live only 2 blocks away. I spoke directly with the owner, who has celiac disease, and he explained all the precautions they take to avoid cross contamination. They have gluten free options for pizza, wings, salads and desserts. I ordered the pizza and WOW...

My parents were very good at cooking all kinds of ethnic foods. When I went through the sauces in the fridge, all, I repeat, ALL, of the chinese sauces contained wheat - Soy Sauce, Teriyaki Sauce, Hoi Sin Sauce, etc. At a mall type chinese restaurant, if I were to eat anything, I would only eat the white rice. At a regular chinese restaurant, steamed vegetables...

I also agree with those who have stated Wikipedia is not reliable. Anyone can edit any article, so take it with a grain of salt. If you want to look at research, look at articles on this website and look at scientific journal articles posted online. They may not be perfect, research changes all the time, but they are a lot more credible than wikipedia.

This is definitely your right to trust doctors, but I don't trust them as far as I can throw them. If they knew what they were doing they wouldn't call it "practicing" medicine lol. Many people on this board have been misdiagnosed by doctors, laughed at, told they are crazy, told they don't have celiac because they're overweight or because they don't have...

I called Starbucks a while back because I had heard something about gluten in one of their drinks. They said the base for (macchiatto?), may or may not be safe, they cannot exactly source every ingredient to make sure it is not cross contaminated. They said it should be the customer's decision whether or not to have any blended drink if they are concerned...

Go over to her place, lie on her couch, and tell her you're going to roll around on it in your undies so she'll get your rash, then do it(of course we all know it isn't contagious, but she probably doesn't lol)

I was gonna say that, but you already did. :-)

Here's how I solve the "holiday dilemma" - I bring my own food in one of those reusable grocery bags, just in case there is nothing I can eat. I then explain to the host/ess that I don't want to cause them extra work by asking them to cook according to my dietary restrictions, so if they don't mind lots of questions about each dish, I will ask and see if...

Hi MrsB: I believe I can answer one of your questions. Glucose is a sugar, so it is safe for Celiacs or people with gluten intolerance. Good luck with everything, hope they get it figured out quickly so you feel better soon.

Yes, vertigo was one of my symptoms when I was still eating gluten. It cleared up not long after starting a true gluten-free diet (it took a while for me to figure out what was truly gluten-free). Hopefully, this will happen for you too. :-)

I completely understand your frustration. I thought I was being very careful, checking labels and everything, but then, for example, found that a type of cheese that I used to buy on a regular basis is now labeled "contains gluten and soy". Ugh. However, as some of the other posters have stated, certain foods, such as raw, unprocessed fruits, vegetables...

Hello, Sorry you are going through all of this. Threatening to leave the school will probably do no good, sorry if this seems blunt, but the college isn't going to care about one student. However, whether or not the college has a disability office, you can still find an ADA office in your area. Let the college know that if they don't work with you, you...

Make sure you go up to her, hug her and then rub some part of you that has the dh on her. Then smile sweetly and walk away lol. Seriously, that's messed up. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
