    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.

    Hi Everyone, I hope this is the proper place to post this question. I recall seeing a few different posts from people on this board over the last couple of years saying that a doctor had diagnosed them w/ celiac as a child, then a few years later been told by Dr. that they had "grown out of it", then symptoms recurred and/or they were diagnosed again as...

    Thanks so much for the info! I checked and they are not open on Sundays, which is the day that I am going to the game, but I will definitely check it out some other time. Thanks again, that's awesome. I am a big fan of Legal Seafoods' gluten-free menu, which is also expensive, but hey, you gotta treat yourself once in a while. :-)

    Hi Everyone, I am going to see a Celtics game at the TD Garden with a friend at the end of this month and was hoping to possibly have dinner beforehand. Does anyone know of any restaurant within walking distance that either has a gluten free menu or can accommodate without much risk of contamination? Thanks in advance for your help! R

    First of all, everyone is entitled to health care, it's a right, not a privilege. Govt sponsorship = government control? While there may be some truth to this, does this mean that you will not accept medicare when you retire? I'm not trying to be a jerk here, just asking. What most people don't understand is that with health plans in the US (HMOs, PPOs...

    George, I highly recommend acupuncture for anxiety treatment (unless you have any needle phobias, of course). Also, it took many months for my anxiety to dissipate after going gluten free - although I am now realizing I probably got glutened unknowingly many times. so I also suggest you review your diet - If you did not prepare it yourself from fresh ingredients...

    I've never had a flu shot in my entire life. I get the flu about once every 5-10 years. Since it's so long in between, I always forget that the first week is the worst, then you start to feel better but it takes another 3 weeks or so to completely recover. Last Memorial Day weekend, I caught something that caused a low grade fever, sinus issues and sore...

    Since getting glutened once by a glass that I was drinking water out of, but I'm sure was used previously for beer, I ask them to put my drink in a glass that has never had beer in it. You might get a smaller drink (I usually ask them to put it in a martini glass), but it's worth it not to get sick, as far as I'm concerned. I also make sure they don't put...

    Since America is the country of lawsuits, my opinion would be to change the thread to "doctors who are knowledgeable" and maybe come at it that way. Of course, it's not slander if it's the truth, and I am not the biggest fan of many western docs. I completely understand that your intentions are very good. Just my two cents.

    Hi Nestor, Most of the Shaw's have a gluten free section, small but there are basic things like gluten-free pasta and crackers. Also the Stop and Shops usually have gluten-free sections. You might check online to see if there is a Trader Joe's close by, they have some awesome gluten-free french rolls (more in the shape of hamburger buns) that you can't get...
