Hello Everyone. I'm spending the weekend in Columbus, Ohio and am looking for safe restaurants to dine in besides the chains.....local gluten-free pizza? or any good gluten-free pancakes? Anything is appreciated. Thanks for now!

Thanks for the reply. I have had periods of time where I can bruise easily and this is something totally different. It is a permanent "bruise" or discoloration on the bottom/thumb part of my hand. I have asked a couple doctors and they don't know anything.....wasn't too concerned until I saw it on my son and realized I am passing on all my health problems...

Hey K--are you tapering down slow enough? I have the semi-same steroid problem and would get sick if I weaned too quickly. Finally one doctor told me to wean 1 mg every two weeks and it worked until I got down to 3 mg....got sick after two weeks and I too have been up and down ever since. The last time I weaned 1 mg every week and also did ok until 3 mg...

Hello All! I have been trying to research why the palms of my hands are always purple (they look permanently bruised) It has been like this all my life and I never thought much of it until I noticed the same thing on my little boy (7). It covers the spot where my thumb connects to my wrist......sometimes it's light purple and sometimes it's darker. Can...

Yippee!!! That's great news.....thanks everyone!!!!!

I actually don't have one on hand to look at (the label) I remember trying them last year thinking they were ok, but then started having stomach issues. I have since discovered that my stomach issues were related to something else and wanted to try them again. You mentioned buying them yourself? Do you use another brand? Thanks again. ...

Does anyone know if Hersheys or Smuckers Caramel Dessert Toppings are Gluten Free? I emailed Smuckers and never heard back and haven't found either of them listed in my shopping guide......I thought I would try here! Thanks!

Hello everyone! Wanted to just share this response and link.....03/05/2010 www.liveglutenfreely.com Hello Valued Consumer: General Mills offers several products that are labeled gluten-free. Please check the package label for the gluten-free statement on the front/side/back of the package. Only products that can be verified to be gluten free will...

Maybe I'm grasping for straws now, but I had positive bloodwork for Celiac as well as my endoscopy. But..........is there anything else that could cause the same positive results? Either I haven't truely been gluten free or something else is going on. I really only ask because someone mentioned CVID previously when I mentioned chronic sinus problems. ...

So I have not cut out dairy since going gluten free. I don't know if I am reacting to it or not. Would there be an immediate reaction? All the time? Milk, cheese, etc. Most of the time I eat these things and really have no reaction.......but.....something is still making me sick!!! If I consume milk daily, have I built up a tolerance to it and maybe...

Wow......I'm amazed at all the posts! I also have scoliosis and Celiacs. I had a spinal fusion done in 1990 after high school. (Lumbar curve of 53 degrees reduced to 8) Never experienced back problems after that. I think pregnancy set off my Celiac 6 years ago because I never ever ever ever ever ever had stomach issues before that. I really thought...

So I still feel bad even after going gluten free. Or am I really gluten free? I thought I had checked everything out..... but maybe wasn't careful enough..............please help with these tricky items. Basmati Rice? (Big burlap bag from Costco) Shredded Cheddar Cheese (King Soopers/Kroger Brand)....just cheese or not? Starbucks Vanilla Lattes!!...

I've read some previous posts and it looks like the jury is out on Starbucks coffee and flavors. Is anyone having a reaction or no reaction to Stabucks?? (Vanilla Latte) I've been gluten free since April and can't figure it out. Bloodwork is still coming out positive and I thought I had checked everthing out!!! I will almost go kicking and screaming...

Please help confirm for me that all or most vanilla ice creams are gluten free?! Breyer's, Blue Bunny? I thought I was sure, but now I'm second guessing........

I have been investigating a prescription through the pharmaceutical companies and got this reply to my inquiry. Does this mean it is safe or not?...............the price difference is quite a lot lower since I don't have insurance but I'm not sure if it is that risky....... Our Tramadol 50mg product contains starch from maize which contains a small...
