Isn't this harrassment? Do you work with adults? They sound like third graders... People can be very rude to put it mildly... I certainly would go to the highest manangement available & explain your eating habits & why do must do this lifestyle. Maybe just maybe they don't understand what health issues can happen if you eat gluten... Then again...

ARCHIVED New To The Gluten-Free World
mamaw replied to bridgetm's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Try speaking with the college food service director. Many schools now have alternative menus for people with food allergies. They need to be aware of your food issues to be able to better help you....for some things it may be only leaving out or off 1 ingredient to make it safe for you..... another thought would be buying your own gluten-free foods... -

ARCHIVED New Worst gluten-free Food Ever
mamaw replied to BethM55's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
For us I cook as the directions state but not a hard boil. The reason I asked if they were old is I found a bag buried deep in my freezer for over a year.. When I cooked them the edges were hard but the rest was fine. We are having ravioli from Conte's tonight for supper....maybe try them one more time..... I will tell you there is a better ravioli out... -

wow, that is a first about Conte's ! Most people love Conte's....... sorry about your experience. were they maybe old???? mamaw -
A food journal is wonderful.... but I think you need to rid your house of everything with wheat & gluten & replace it with gluten-free. If its not in the house then you can't eat it. Feeling crappy after eating gluten sometimes is enough to make someone stop but for others its a hard battle....so maybe rid the house of gluten.... a local food bank...

I think if a parent is willing to learn then by all means teach them.......but again I think to make it easier it is best to send food. That way no one is stressed out over gluten-free.... Your daughter is 11 , she should know how to read labels & refuse foods that are not safe for her....For a camping trip I would send gluten-free mac& cheese...

The granchildren go for stay overs often. One thing is that when other families are not gluten-free there is a big chance of CC. To make things easier for the other parents & keep our kid fairly safe we prepare the food & send it along. Some people understand the gluten-free lifestyle now after years of having our kids over they now can cook gluten...

Ken.. I did know that there was no pain but they thought they wanted to knock me out for some reason. I agreed with the versaid but not anything else... I've watched twice the wires go through my groin & up to the heart. Wow, it is amazing , no pain what so ever so I'm still not sure why they wanted to knock me out! I do believe the next time I...

Hi Ken I guess I didn't read this post before now! I'm glad you are doing well after the ablation. They wanted to do this to me in Oct 09 because of A-Fib that was way out of control... But my problem is I'm allergic to the deep sleep meds! I can only do versaid which is the twilight drug & I just didn't think it would cut-it for heart surgery. They...

ARCHIVED High Prices For Gluten-Free Foods In Stores...
mamaw replied to Hawaii78's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I hear the mark up on gluten-free foods is over ,well over 200%. To me that is sad but nothing we can do about it. More companies come on board everyday but that has not stopped the pricing game!One would think competition would bring prices down but it hasn't &I don't believe after this amount of time it will. There is money to be made in the gluten... -
ARCHIVED High Prices For Gluten-Free Foods In Stores...
mamaw replied to Hawaii78's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I Agree with you the price of gluten-free goodies is awful. If one can do just meat, veggies, & fruits then its not expensive but for us we want the best of the best & a wide variety. I just can't wrap my head or mouth around a muffin becoming a hamburger bun, next time it becomes garlic bread & so on.. Several years ago when other than... -

The Bready Machine: While I think this is a nifty gadget, one thing I don't care for is you will be held hostage to buying only their mixes. You can not use this with other mixes or make your own bread.Also the cost of the mixes could go sky high in price, no one knows. I'm a gadget person but for that much money I would think twice. I suggest a good bread...

ARCHIVED 1 Month Gluten Free Things Aren't That Much Better
mamaw replied to serenajane's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello Here's a couple of things to mill around. First, 1 month being gluten-free does not give your body time enough to heal. For some feeling better comes sooner than others. Then for others three or four years isn't enough time. We are unique in that we all or most share celiac but that is about as far as it goes. We all don't heal the same, we all can... -
