I'm going to Tim Hortons tomorrow for a coffee date but I'm a bit scared to grab anything due to all the allergy warnings on the website I had my first meeting with a dietitian and the lady sitting beside me said the coffee contains some kind of gluten product to keep the beans separated in the packages?? Plus I worked in one for 9 months way...

Thank you so much for your response, I'm very thankful to know there's so many people out there going through the same thing. I wish he had enough patience, I actually helped him through his parents divorce, and to see him not even stick around to see me get better is frustrating. I was one month away from being diagnosed and he just couldn't take it anymore...

I'm very new to everything, I joined this site the other day, I had blood test taken last month and my biopsy was just confirmed 2 days ago.
