    Good to know, thanks! We vacation in Florida a lot.

    This is one in the Chicago area that I haven't tried yet, but want to: Open Original Shared Link

    I was wondering if there was any nationwide directory of restaurants that only serve gluten-free food? I was curious because I find them rather hard to find and it seems like there should be a few out there!

    I got sick constantly, had back to back bouts of bronchitis, and was sick with various forms of allergies all the time. Cutting out sugar for a period of time really helped me a lot. My health is improved, my allergies are much better and I can enjoy the spring weather without feeling miserable all the time. I now use some sweeteners very, very sparingly...

    I could be wrong, but I think that the OP is referring to this label: Open Original Shared Link

    So, I'm looking to put together a travel kitchen kit. It would be super helpful for when we're out and about, or if we end up staying the night somewhere unexpectedly, etc. I've already bought flexible cutting boards and a collapsible colander. What else would you recommend carrying with you? And what type of a box do you store it in? I would like something...

    That is bewildering that the doctor would state that the biopsy was negative, when your biopsy found evidence of celiac. If it were me, I would take that copy of the pathology report and take it to a doctor (a new one if need be), get that diagnosis and keep eating gluten free for life. It seems like the "negative biopsy" could have been a communication...

    ^Yeah, like making a cheese cake with a gluten-free graham cracker crust. Yum! Open Original Shared Link

    Sounds like celiac to me, especially with the positive biopsy. What did your bloodwork say? I don't see why you'd have to go back to eating gluten again, though, especially since: A) Your biopsy was positive You experienced symptom resolution with the gluten-free diet C) Celiac runs in your family

    Unfortunately it's a common dilemma...bring back your symptoms with a vengeance or go un'dx'ed. In my case, I don't really have a choice (gluten challenge could mean a stroke for me), so I'm basically sitting back, living 100% gluten free and eagerly awaiting the day that science comes up with a way to test for celiac without eating gluten. There has already...

    If at all possible, it would be a good idea to get a DX. Could your doctor help supervise a gluten challenge and order the bloodwork for you? Especially with you being young, it will be much easier to get accomodations from parents and school, etc.

    You are more than welcome to post here! I do not have a diagnosis and I would not go back on gluten for a million dollars. (neurological complications) No way I would risk a stroke just to get a diagnosis! Instead I'm living happy and healthy and staying gluten free for life. There's many here in a similar boat.

    I also like Tinkyada pasta.

    There is gluten in shaving cream?

    LauraTX, has your OCD improved at all since going gluten-free? I have GAD with OCD symptoms. I have to LOL at your signature. I was curious at the backstory so I googled "Silly Yak Girl" and then I found "Silly Yak Bakery." It took me saying it out loud to realize that Silly Yak is a play on words for celiac!

    So funny, Cathy!
  17. BlessedMommy
    Haha! Well, maybe I can blame my lapse into OCD on gluten. ROFL! I think that my problem was that I was realizing all the real ways that I probably should be more careful (when I first went gluten free, I didn't have a lot of guidance) and once I fixed all the real issues, I started worrying about the non-issues. Stupid OCD!

    FWIW, my naturopath is a biopsy DX'ed celiac. *shrugs* And she said that her antibody numbers didn't drop until she switched all of her personal care products to gluten free. No, I won't be bothering with worrying about buying gluten free toilet paper. I'm guessing that if a person is eating toilet paper, they have much more pressing issues to deal with...

    That link still suggested moistening envelopes with water instead of saliva. Not sure why they would say that, unless there's a chance that wheat starch is in the adhesive? Sometimes it's hard separating fact from urban legends.
  20. BlessedMommy
    My naturopath, who's celiac, was telling me about buying gluten free toilet paper. Is that going a little far or is it actually necessary?
  21. BlessedMommy
    Wait, Irish, envelopes? I try not to lick envelopes because I've heard that they could have gluten in the glue.

    I have a 99% gluten free household, but I do allow my hubby to eat some prepackaged gluten free stuff, if he cooks it on a dedicated pot and with a dedicated spatula. But, if he goes and touches the faucet after eating, then theoretically the faucet is contaminated and should be wiped off. And when working at my MIL's house, I tend to not touch her...

    In your opinion, where is the line between a healthy level of caution and gluten phobia? And how do you know when you've crossed the line?
  24. BlessedMommy
    I'm glad that they liked it Lisa!
  25. BlessedMommy
    Yes, that's the point I was trying to make, is that you shouldn't do that. Sorry for the confusion.
