    Hello. I found the temptation went away with time. Especially after my cravings started going away. For the first year and a half or though after the initial cravings went away I would have really bad cravings when I got glutened. But luckily even those are gone now when I get glutened. I did find it annoying at times having to describe what celiac was....

    I use Burt's Bees for lip gloss/lip stick.

    Mamaw: Thank you for the recommendations. I went to Spaghetti Benders and it was great. The only let down was that their pasta was too al dante even after sending it back since it was rock hard on the inside the first time, but that might just be personal preference. But the other food was wonderful (especially the garlic bread) and the service was awesome...

    Thanks for letting me know that. I have seen her around.

    What I would want from a restaurant (some are obvious or others have stated, but wanted to put it down anyway): Pizza that has a nice crust that isn't cracker thin or so thick it is like cardboard. Food that is flavored with seasonings (ie not plain dry chicken). Bread sticks that are warm and fluffy. I agree with the other on gluten free fried foods...

    I am vising Indiana PA next week (about an hour outside Pittsburgh). I was wondering if anyone knew of any restaurants around there that has gluten free menus. I will be there multiple days so I am hoping to not have to bring my own food for the whole time. Thanks.

    Roda- I had to do the same thing with the dietician I saw. Her list of safe foods was out of date. It just made me cry because I felt so alone, overwhelmed, and confused. I had really been hoping that the dietician would make things clearer.

    Thanks, I have a walgreens close by too. I will get theirs.

    I need a decongestent and I have used sudafed in the past (but before gluten free). Since it is the weekend I can't call them to find out and it doesn't say on the website and I don't know if the listed ingredients are safe. Does anyone know if the sudafed pressure and pain is gluten free. here are the ingredients: Ingredients Active Ingredient (in each...

    I hate noticed a new problems since I was diagnosed. Since then when I get a stomach illness (not glutening) I have a period where I am nauseous in the morning for a while afterwards. It happens every day in the morning. I feel nauseous and sometimes throw up. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into this. Last year when this happened it lasted for...

    Someone asked me this week if my celiac effected my ability to heal from other illnesses (there are some nasty bugs going around where I live and I caught one of them). I was wondering if celiac effects our bodies ability to heal from things like colds and sinus infections etc.

    Hello, If you are not already registered with your school's dissability office you should register with them. It is their job to help you with situations like this. With providing the staff with the training they will need to feed you safely. This is especially true if you are forced to buy a meal plan. They will be able to help you contact the right people...

    I don't know how long you have been gluten free. For the first two years or so I would have cravings for bread. Especially when glutened. Over time they decreased and I hardly ever have cravings anymore, even when I get glutened. I would try to find something that filled the void when it was really bad. I found that Udi's muffins worked really well. They...

    I would say that maybe it was insomnia, but her being able to go to sleep when she is in your bed doesn't suggest that. (I get really bad insomnia when I get glutened.) You might want to learn some relaxation strategies to teach your daughter so that she can use them to get back to sleep at night. Some good ones are deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation...

    I had the same problems with friends. I met new friends when I moved shortly after being diagnosed. They didn't invite me to hang out when they knew they were going to eat because they didn't want to eat in front of me. I had to address it with them since I knew that they were going out and not inviting me. I think a lot of people do this because they are...

    Hello, The doctors could detect Crohn's disease if it is in the area of the endoscopy. However, Crohn's disease can happen anywhere along the digestive track. My brother has Crohn's disease so they did a colonoscopy at the same time as the endoscopy to check and make sure there was nothing else going on in addition to the Ceilac. I have GERD symptoms that...

    When I was first diagnosed things that were acidic made my GERD react (ie tomatos, orange juice etc). Now I get it really bad when I get glutened. It can take weeks for it to go away. If you have recently gone gluten free you should do a food journal and see if there is anything that connects when you have it. Good luck.

    Since I went gluten free I have never knowingly eaten gluten. I've only gotten exposed to gluten through cc, until Sunday. I ate something the family I work with offered me. They have never before given me something that would make me sick. It was my fault because I forgot to ask what type of chocolate to make it. But OMG. I have been so sick. I thought...

    I threw up a lot as a kid. All the way through elementary and middle school (maybe once a month some more some less). I wasn't diagnosed until I was 26. I never thought that the throwing up could be connected. I always thought it was stress (there was a lot of stress in my family). My parents never took me to the doctor for it. My family only went to the...

    I was thinking more about your post. When I was first diagnosed I was so mad. I felt like my body had betrayed me, again. While I had come to accept that I suffered from depression and ptsd, I had accepted that my mental health was screwed up. But accepting that my physical body was damaged and had something wrong with it was a hard thing to accept. I was...

    If you want to do the biopsy, do it now. If you doctor will give you the dx without it, then you don't necessarily need to do it. However, if you want to have accommodations you will need the dx. When I got my endoscopy everyone told me that I would not remember the procedure at all. I remember the whole thing. I could feel weird sensations when they took...

    I am so sorry you are going through this. I know that whenever I got glutened for the first year and a half after going gluten free I would have cravings for bread. Going to the store would make my mouth water. I can't say if you do have celiac or not. It is up to you to decide if you want to go gluten free or not. The only thing that made it so I could make...
