    Same here... I heard "IBS" constantly, but I finally saw a doctor who thought a bit outside of the box.

    1. Enjoy Life bagels - I bought them for a road trip from IL to FL and BLECH! Absolutely the worst. 2. Enjoy Life chewy chocolate chip cookies. YUCK. They taste like glue. 3. DeBoles corn pasta. Decided after one bite that brown rice pasta is far superior (at least, to my palate). Best? 1. Tinkyada pasta - especially the spinach pasta! ...

    I have had the chicken noodle - agree on the just okay. I think it would be really good though if I had a cold though.

    The Thai restaurant I go to makes gluten-free Pad Thai - they have their own gluten free menu. The server also told me it would be relatively easy to make - just tamarind paste, fish sauce, chicken, rice noodles, eggs, and onions. He told me to stay away from the restaurant's soy sauce though. I agree with an above poster, carrying a card that explains...

    I used to eat these occasionally and had not had a problem with them - it has been a few months, though.

    Good to know! I wonder if they use the same oil for chicken nuggets/strips and fries... I haven't tried McDonald's fries since gluten-free - there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus on safety.

    I have had good luck with Lonestar - I did call the day before and told them I would get there right when they opened for lunch (11 am). They told me that they were grateful for that and I was happy because I did not get sick!

    Wow- the chocolate cookies sound delicious! I think I will wait until after christmas and do a bit of experimenting in the kitchen. Thanks!!

    YUM! I bet you could finagle this recipe into sort of a flatbread...

    The only thing I have found is on the box there is a recipe for "fufu" (plantain flour is also known as "fufu flour"). Fufu is a bread commonly served with soup. The box also says it works for breading and thickening gravies/soups From the company's website: Preparing Fufu: Unlike the traditional method of preparing fufu, Tropiway Fufu Flour is...

    Yes it is - if you check their website (www.sunbutter.com) it states that all of their products are gluten/peanut/treenut free. Enjoy! Sunbutter is SO tasty!

    I went to this Asian market in my hometown for the first time ever. I saw some plantain flour and asked the cashier about it. He was extremely nice and said that he gets a lot of people asking if it had wheat in it - he said no. I also checked on their website and it says it is gluten free. So I bought it, but have not even opened it yet. I am hesitant...

    I really hope that because this was in the NY Times it makes people who were miserable like me at least ask their doctors. I know I had to ask my doctor specifically about it, and lo and behold, celiac runs in my family.

    I don't know if this would work for you, but I eat zucchini almost every day as a snack - and I found that if I peeled the zucchini, I would not get bloated. It is so weird, but it really stopped the excess gas. Also, when I eat beans, I cook them until they are very soft. That also seems to help. I hope you feel better soon

    Have you researched keratosis pilaris? My mom gets something similar to what you are describing and that is what her derm told her she had.

    That is how IL is, too... they pick double the number of jury people and put you into two groups (a and b, for example) then you call in and there is an automated message saying which group, a or b, has to report. I have never been called, but my dad gets called, like clockwork, every two years.

    I second A Hidden Epidemic. That book was extremely helpful to me after being diagnosed.

    I use "shards of glass" and explain that that is what my stomach feels like afterwards. For people who just "don't get it" or think it would be okay for me to take "just a little bite", I get graphic. Then they get it.

    I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 5 - and I took Concerta until I was 18. In the three years between ending Concerta and going gluten free, my memory was absolutely horrid! I would literally run around in circles when given a list of tasks because I could not for the life of me remember a few simple chores. Since going gluten-free, my memory is much...

    LOL - that is going to be cut & pasted and sent around work

    I had the same thing Eric_C had - my gums bled some of the time, but not in excess. It was irritating and somewhat worrisome for me - but it got much better after being gluten free for some time.

    Chalk me up as another with a diagnosis of IBS before Celiac. I agree wholeheartedly; when I get glutened, my gastro symptoms would be the textbook definition of "IBS". I put this acronym in quotes because I think that it is an umbrella term - I wish the doctor that had diagnosed me with IBS at five years old would have dug a little deeper and found...
