If you want a snack-like thing to keep with you, Cliff nectar bars are wonderful. They are available at Wegman's and I think I have even seen them at Tops. They are made on dedicated equipment, they have lots of yummy flavors, and are very good for you. I recommend Red Robin if you like burgers!! Their gluten free menu is wonderful and they have delicious...

Could you two maybe give me some more details on the hernia? Is it likely at all that that could be my problem? I didn't do the gluten trial, but my doctor called me to say that he wanted me to get HLA-typing instead. So I had that blood test, and called for the results. He informed me that the test had come back negative for celiac. I have an appointment...

About 10 months ago I was told I had celiac disease on the basis of blood work. Last month I went to a specialist because of some elevated liver enzymes who told me that celiac could not be confirmed until I had a small intestine biopsy. He said a lot of my symptoms fit with celiac but that some were a little strange, I have had the hiccups for over a year...

that's great, love it. .....does anybody else kind of chuckle when they're saying the Lord's prayer.... "Give us this day our daily bread...." I always want to say "Give us this day our daily...rice bread." lol

This is an e-mail I recieved from OPI today... was useful to me and I think it's been covered but figured I'd post it just in case. Thank you for your email. The following OPI products contain hydrolyzed wheat and/or oat protein, which may have traces of gluten: Acrylic Nail Base Coat Feet

Me too! I once walked around my house putting my ears to all the radios, stereos, and the tv because I was certain I could hear Madonna. Nothing was actually on it creeped me out! Also, why Madonna? lol

Can definitely relate. My family is so skeptical when it comes to cross contamination. My sister rolls her eyes like I'm just looking for attention. My dad has trouble understanding my nervousness about shared cutting boards. My mom will be catious but kind of acts like she's just doing it to humor me and doesn't think it's neccessary. My whole family...

This might be covered else-where in the forum, but does anyone have handy a list of gluten free shampoos and conditioners? I've been using Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship. I also use L'Oreal SKin Genesis face wash. Also does nail polish containing gluten really pose a threat? How about nail polish removers? If so I'll need to replace my nail...

Thanks so much everyone! Very helpful and encouraging. I'm going to cut out caffeine and start taking a multi vitamin, probably something I should be doing anyway. Im a college student and cross contamination is incredibly difficult to avoid, that is probably playing a role as well. Hope you are all doing well. : )

Did anyone else experience depression or crying jags and mood swings as a side-effect or symptom of celiac? That was one of the major reasons I first went to the doctor, I've been gluten-free for about five months and although it's getting better I still experience irritability, mood swings, and crying jags. Could this be a hormone problem or do I just...
