    I thought I posted to this topic before but can't find my post so I will do it again. I'm mostly thin but I have to really watch my weight these past 5 years or so, or I start to gain and I don't know about all you people but I can't afford a new wardrobe so I can't really start gaining weight..... wow as you get older (at least for me) your metabolism changes...

    On the east coast we have Legal Seafood restaurants and I know they have one in Palm Beach, Florida too. I was in one today and I asked if they had a gluten free menu and she said not now but in about 3 weeks we will, we've all been trained about it and are very aware of gluten problems and allergy issues. She told me to pick something I wanted to...

    To recap my story, 8 years of digestive problems, supposedly have IBS, chronic diarrhea. I go to my doctor and get tested for celiac 3 weeks ago, right after I have the test I start to eat totally gluten free and in less then a week every single symptom I've had is magically gone. Then the doctor calls me up and tells me all my blood work is totally...

    I've only been gluten free for 3 weeks but I've lost 4 lbs and my stomach is so flat because I'm not bloated or gassy. As with anything it depends on your food choices.. if you eat potato chips and candy all day you'll gain weight. In my case I'm eating less processed foods and its working. I feel so much healthier. Chicken, fish, pork, occasional...

    Since I'm new at this (just over 3 weeks) I still just forget and eat stuff, darn! I had Lea and Perrins Worchester Sauce and I'm not sure if its ok, it looks ok but what do I know. I didn't eat the A1 Sauce but I do love the stuff and would like to know if I can use it in the future. I went to the Kraft web site and they don't list any real nutritional...

    I'm writing to myself on this topic, but I wanted to be fair about it incase in the future someone needs this info. Yesterday Holland America called us, they are the parent company for our Windstar Cruise. We have 2 issues, my gluten problem and my daughter has a life threatening peanut and tree nut allergy. They were very nice on the phone...

    Its getting harder and harder to take a vacation. The cruise line just e-mailed me and told me that they can't accomodate my daughters life threatening peanut allergy now. The cruise line is Windstar, which is owned by the same company as Holland America and Carnival. Its a luxury cruise line and they can't help me with gluten or peanuts. Sigh. Now I...

    Hi Welcome and I'm new too! I think the adjustment to having celiac disease is made easier or more difficult depending on how you ate before. For me and I'm so new at this I only have a few weeks under my belt, but eating at home is not so difficult. I went and downloaded off of web sites lists of gluten-free food that can be found in my regular store...

    Oh thank you so much for that info... I'm trying so hard to keep gluten free, its not so easy. I have been almost gluten free for 3 weeks, I was out shopping with my daughter at our local mall and needed food, so we went to McDonalds and I got a salad with grilled chicken, the dressing was Newman's Own and I knew that was gluten free. So I ate it, within...

    I just wanted to say hi. I'm sure you all have stories to tell in getting diagnosed and here is mine. I've had stomach problems and diarrhea for 8 years. I've seen my doctor a few times for them and first it was a lactose intolerance (which I'm not sure I have) and then he finally decided I have ibs. Two weeks ago he ran some blood tests for celiac and...

    Hi I just wanted to say that I do the carb. Addict's diet too. I've been on it for 2 weeks and have lost 5 pounds. I went on it because a friend of mine lost 35 pounds on it and has been on it for the better part of 3 years. He doesn't crave carbs at all now. And for me the same thing has happened, I do eat carbs at my reward meal but I don't crave...

    I'm taking a cruise at Christmas, has anyone done this and what sort of changes, if any, did the cruise line make for you. I'm going on Windstar and it says on their web site that they will accomodate special diets if notified 30 days ahead of time (which we have done) I was curious if anyone has done this and what sort of changes they made. thanks...

    Hi I'm new here to (I'll introduce myself soon) and I'm not even officially diagnosed as celiac disease but I'm certainly really gluten sensitive. Anyhow, this is all new to me but... I wouldn't ask my boyfriend to be gluten-free, if he decided to go that way fine but I can't imagine why he would. I personally need his emotional support and he gives...
