    I think I listed Honey Nut Chex earlier on this list. I decided during my last grocery trip that I'd try it again to see if it was the Chex or something else, and I've had it four breakfasts in a row without a reaction. When I did react, it was pretty early on in my diet, so maybe I had actually messed up in another area or I was so far from healed I was...

    I get my gluten-free soy sauce at asian markets -- much cheaper than buying it at health food stores. (The negative: there are a TON of soy sauces to choose from, so it involves a lot of label-reading the first time around. It also helps to have someone who can read the original label just in case there's a mislabeling thing going on). Otherwise I mostly...

    ARCHIVED In And Out

    Mskedi replied to hez's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Like everyone else so far, I've had no problems with In N Out. I haven't been to the specific one in San Pedro you mentioned, but I've been to at least eight different locations since going gluten-free, and every single time has been great. In N Out is probably the only fast food place out there that prides themselves on their great customer service -- I...

    There's one not too far from here, so I'll have to check it out next time I'm down that way.

    Wow... after not having a period for three months, I would expect some discomfort, but that kind of pain and bleeding, I think, at least warrants a doctor visit. Can you go to Urgent Care rather than a full-blown ER? If not, then, yeah... I'd say go to the ER. On the plus side, malnourishment can cause you to miss your period (that's why it sometimes...

    Isn't it amazing how much better things get? I'm nearing ten months of being gluten-free, and I'm STILL noticing things that are getting better. I haven't been dancing lately, either, but I joined a choir that rehearses on the night I used to take tap. I have no excuse about the Tuesday night class I used to go to, though -- your post makes me want to...

    Nice!

    Awesome! I got a vegetarian meal there before I was gluten-free, and it was actually pretty decent. I'm glad to know I'll be able to eat *something* there when I go back. I've been planning to simply not eat next time (I enjoyed the show ), but eating would definitely be a plus!

    I'm not a fan of the smell of fish, either, but I haven't complained about coworkers heating it up. That said, coworkers heating up fish do prop the outside door open while doing so, and that helps the smell not linger. Can you do the same? (Or open a window?)

    People react differently to accidental glutenings, but the trend does seem to be that the longer you're gluten-free, the more acute the reaction. That is definitely the case for me -- I had mild GI symptoms pre-gluten-free (but I suffered other symptoms that were pretty awful, including extreme insomnia); post gluten-free, though, the slightest ingestion...

    I use that one as well. It comes in handy while grocery shopping.

    First off, feel free to vent here as much as you want so you can ease off venting to people you see daily. Sometimes people hear complaints from one person so much they start getting annoyed, but on a message board, if you get to that point, people can just skim. Also, most of us empathize to at least some degree since we've all suffered mysterious symptoms...

    Haha... my husband says the same thing. The first night I grabbed the remote from him to turn up the volume and he was in shock. I'm always turning down the volume on the TV. Then he shrugged it off and said something like, "I forgot you're an entirely different person during the Olympics." So true, so true. I never follow sports except during the Olympics...

    I could list much of what's already been listed, but I think the best thing is realizing, yet again, just how awesome my family and friends are. My husband is as careful as I am about making sure I don't ingest gluten, many in my family can't have gluten, but those who can are careful to have gluten-free foods at gatherings (plus, they know all about cross...

    ARCHIVED Homeopathy?

    Mskedi replied to eeyore's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Larry Mac -- This is in the same vein as what you posted, and you might enjoy it. I love this particular video on homeopathy, anyway: Open Original Shared Link. Then again, I love James Randi in general.

    Speed skating and figure skating.

    It's almost ridiculous how much better it gets. If I weren't experiencing it myself, I wouldn't believe it. The diet is forever, but there's no way I'd go back. Things are less and less tempting all the time, too. I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

    Gluten-free and vegetarian makes eating out more limiting -- but, if you've been vegetarian a long time (I think I'm at around 14 years), then you're already used to ordering off a fairly limited menu (or creating your own meals and asking the chef to whip them up), so it's not too bad. Other than cutting out pasta and bread (I use gluten-free versions...

    I had no idea there was Cream of Buckwheat! I'm going to have to try that... before this whole gluten-free endeavor, I had oatmeal or Cream of Wheat nearly every morning. I do like hot rice cereal, but I'd like to branch out. I'm going to try gluten-free oats when I hit one year and cross my fingers that I'm one of the people who can handle them.

    I don't have any specific advice for you other than that the U.S. is starting to become more aware of Celiac Disease, so your son will fare much better than, say, if he were to have come ten years ago. Do you know what area of the U.S. he would be coming to? Maybe someone on this board from that region would be able to give him (and his host family) some...

    I just went to the Original Pancake House in Anaheim this morning expecting to only get scrambled eggs, but they have gluten-free pancakes. It sounds like they have dairy-free, too, since they asked if I wanted milk or soy milk in the batter. They were pretty good -- I had blueberry pancakes and blueberry compote.

    Two people beat me to the recommendation. Frank's really is the best -- I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to use it after going gluten-free and was relieved to find it's safe.
  23. Mskedi
    Thank goodness.

    It's a cure-much, not a cure-all, but what it does cure is pretty dang amazing. I wish it would help with my increasingly bad allergies, but it seems my stuffiness will not be going away anytime soon.

    I think the single most important thing is to have a budget that you have to stick to. All of the above tips are how you make that happen, but the budget is the impetus. When I was in college, I had exactly $18 a week for groceries and household supplies. I made the best of it. Since going gluten-free, I've started spending ridiculous amounts on groceries...
