Has anyone had any experience with gluten-free in South Africa? I'm thinking of going to Cape Town next year. I've read about some of the local eats and seems like there's a lot of bread heavy dishes but I can probably skip those fairly easily.

I logged in today for the first time in months just because I *hate* being gluten free and I *hate* hearing people say "Wow, that sucks." You're damn right it sucks. I'm having a terrible day and all I wanted was Happy Tracks ice cream but my grocery store is out so I went with another kind, without thinking to check the label. Get it home and of course it...

I've had canker sores my whole life but when I went gluten free 13 months ago I did notice that they weren't occurring as frequently. Lately I've had them pretty much constantly though and I know it's not accidental glutening. Their reappearance has coincided with other symptoms I used to have when I was B12 deficient. I've got an appointment scheduled to...

I disagree, at least as far as my own system is concerned. I've had several reactions that were tied back to caramel coloring.

Agree. I don't understand it as much as I'd like to yet but what I do know is scary stuff.

I got this email from a family friend and I'm not entirely sure I understand what's going on here or how it would potentially affect gluten-free foods. Thoughts? ------------------------------------------ Dear Friends, Please take a few moments to let your government know that you are against any type of law that would hide the real contents of...

I'll be in Hazleton PA for a few days in June for a wedding. What I've heard so far is there's a ton of restaurants but most are not experienced in gluten free cooking. Is anyone from that area or have suggestions for nearby eateries? I'll also be in NYC for a day so any suggestions there would be appreciated, though I'm guessing it'll be easier to find something...

Im reacting to Mug root beer right now. Kill me

For me, it was Skittles. My nutritionist told me I needed to take in more calories so I started snacking on Skittles.. I'm an emotional eater and candy is a comfort food and I overdid it, as I have a tendency to do. But I have a good metabolism so a week or two without them and I'm back to my normal weight.

So many of you have autistic kids. What's up with that? Are there environmental elements to blame for an increase in autism? Does having celiac have something to do with it? I don't know a single autistic adult and a quick survey of my nearby coworkers says they don't either, but everywhere I go I hear about it in kids. Makes the idea of having kids a...

This. Exactly.

The amount of sleep I need varies. I know for a fact that I go through cycles. It is incredibly helpful to get into a routine. I used to have lots of sleep problems but once I setup a routine my body adjusted and now I rarely have trouble.

My dad (a physician's assistant) sent out a very strong-worded email to my brother and I and some other younger folks he knows insisting that we all get it. I thought about it and decided against it. I know 6 or 7 people who have been diagnosed with the H1N1 so far and all of them have described it as "Flu Lite" because it's easier than the regular seasonal...

:o :o :o :o :o I *love* M&Ms!! And I'm definitely (probably anyway) going to try that recipe.

PMS? I get all out of sorts myself, can't think logically or rationally for 3-4 days a month.
