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.

ARCHIVED I Hate Everything
soulcurrent replied to Strawberry-Jam's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
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...

ARCHIVED Labeled gluten-free But Had Caramel Coloring
soulcurrent replied to ewp11100's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I disagree, at least as far as my own system is concerned. I've had several reactions that were tied back to caramel coloring. -
ARCHIVED Non-Gmo Food Labeling?
soulcurrent replied to soulcurrent's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Agree. I don't understand it as much as I'd like to yet but what I do know is scary stuff. -
ARCHIVED Non-Gmo Food Labeling?
soulcurrent posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Places In Or Around Hazleton Pa?
soulcurrent posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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... -

ARCHIVED How Do Some Celiacs Put On Weight?
soulcurrent replied to adm07's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
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...

ARCHIVED How Much Sleep Do We Really Need?!
soulcurrent replied to Gfresh404's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
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. -
ARCHIVED Swine Flu Vaccinations
soulcurrent replied to momxyz's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
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... -
ARCHIVED Not Impressed With Pamela's Chocolate Chip Cookies

ARCHIVED Gluten Symptoms (mental) Even When Not Glutened?
soulcurrent replied to Becci's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
PMS? I get all out of sorts myself, can't think logically or rationally for 3-4 days a month. -
Ditto. I'm about to call my local grocery store and see about requesting it. I know of one bar in town that sells it and it just so happens it was *my* bar so I lucked out big time.

ARCHIVED Confused About Flour..
soulcurrent replied to soulcurrent's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Man that sounds really complicated. It probably really isn't, I just generally don't like cooking so adding the powdered cheese mix to the macaroni seems complicated. -
ARCHIVED Confused About Flour..
soulcurrent replied to soulcurrent's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I saw that, just wanted to get more opinions on it. -
Several recipes from the web and posts here have mentioned used multiple kinds of flours. I'm not much of a baker unless it comes in a box with all the ingredients I needed, but I'm really hoping to make Open Original Shared Link for Thanksgiving. Are there any tips I should know, or suggestions for things to change?

Singulair is apparently gluten-free. I've been taking it for a year or so and though it's expensive it seems to work. -
ARCHIVED Can I Get A Description Of A 'brain Fog'?
soulcurrent replied to soulcurrent's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
From the sound of it I'm not a victim of the fog, at least as far as thought processes go.. at least not yet. Yesterday was a strange feeling for me that eventually went away but I'm pretty sure it wasn't gluten, more just that I needed to get the blood flowing again because I'd been laying on the couch studying all day. -
ARCHIVED My Family Is Insisting I Get Tested
soulcurrent replied to positivenrgfairy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My doctor is really really nice, and after a single visit with him I had my diagnosis. His staff is also really nice. When I called to get my biopsy results the nurse stayed on the phone with me while I freaked out and was reassuring and made the whole thing seem a lot less scary. He also practices at multiple locations throughout the city. Open Original... -
ARCHIVED Can I Get A Description Of A 'brain Fog'?
soulcurrent posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've seen this term quite a bit. Can anyone describe what exactly they experience when in a fog? Currently I feel like blood is pooling in my head making it quite heavy, accompanying a headache behind my left eye. The heaviness makes me feel a little foggy and prone to mistakes though. I'm not sure it's gluten related but I'd be interested in the descriptions... -

I second the idea to go to the principal. Not only did she ignore your instructions but she continues to harass you about it. Uncool.
