Went to Captain George's Buffet last night & agree with SMRI. Great experience. The manager walked me through the line. He is very knowledgable and will even have kitchen cook an alternative to what is in the buffet. For example, the pork has a sauce that has gluten, but he will have kitchen cook some up fresh without the sauce for you. He even brought...

I was dxd with Celiac about 3 years ago and after what was a long healing process, I felt great, with minor slip ups of gluten here and there (never intentionally). The Saturday before last, I went out to a diner with my friend and ordered a salad with chicken. I awoke in the middle of the night to stomach rumbling and D. The next few days I was bloated...

It took me months to finally feel normal again (but I had major GI issues). This place was a source of comfort reading other people's stories and knowing they went through the same things I was going through. Hang in there, it does improve.

I am a teacher, and wasn't exactly "there" last year when I was going through the intense symptoms, fear of what was wrong, and the dx'd learning curve. I even quit my coaching position b/c I couldnt handle the stress and the recovery. Thankfully my principal protected me from parents who were wondering what was up. Yes, it is difficult to find out...

Beginning my 15th month gluten free. Started to feel myself again around the ninth month of GFD. Every so often I don't feel so good again, but the discomforts that come about are less and less intense.

I have expereinced the same issues. Was not an initial symptom of mine, but the rumbles began happening about 1 month into being gluten free. Some weeks are worse then others. Usually happens to me when I wake up.

What would you suggest as the best breadmaker to buy with gluten free flours? How much does the machine run?

I also thought that the orignial bbq sauce for the ribs were ok. Really hope that hasnt changed. The Chillis near me has always been very accomadating to me when I come in. In fact the last time I came in w/my family they sent a waitress from another section to serve us because she also has celiac and she was very helpful (She told us the chips and salsa...

A bunch of my H.S. friends want to get together. They know about my celiac and would like to know if rodizio (brazilian steakhouse) would be good for me. I used to LOVE rodizios before dxd w/celiac and know of some issues (sometime teriyaki chicken is one of the meats served). Is there anyone who has had any experiences with eating out at a Rodizio...

One of the best things about this site is that when you are in your "part of the world" what you are dealing with is so foreign and different than what you have experienced (or anyone else) it is helpful to discover that your not alone, and people here are willing to help. The weight loss and the tests you had/are having are all typical for those dxd with...

It was about a year ago I was dxd with celiac. Over the past year I found great encouragement in reading posts that described symptoms and pains. I thank everyone who was willing to post their travails. It would calm me down when I realized the things I was experiencing was normal for some celiacs (I was not one of the ones who felt better than they ever...

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.

I was dxd with Celiac a year ago. Next month will be a retirement dinner for one of my bosses. It will be buffet style. I would really like to go but I am concerned about eating there. What are others' experiences with this? How receptive are these banquet halls to celiac requests in general? Do I go and not eat (and if I do that, should I still pay...

I remember going to visit a friend for brunch within the the first month of my d'xd. I told my wife how embarrassed I was that the meal had to made special for me. I never wanted to be an inconvenience. Our friend laid out the spread, and I apologized for having to be so particular about food, she stopped me and said I having nothing to apologize for...

Sadly, it is different for each person. I know I used to get depressed reading how quickly some people felt better. That was not the case for me. Maybe it was because Im older (42), I dont know. I can tell you things improved each month, when I looked at improvement like that, instead of daily, I could see the difference even though I still felt horrible...
