  1. 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.
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. I disagree, at least as far as my own system is concerned. I've had several reactions that were tied back to caramel coloring.
  5. Agree. I don't understand it as much as I'd like to yet but what I do know is scary stuff.
  6. 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...
  7. 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...
  8. Im reacting to Mug root beer right now. Kill me
  9. 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.
  10. 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...
  11. 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.
  12. 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...
  13. :o :o :o :o :o I *love* M&Ms!! And I'm definitely (probably anyway) going to try that recipe.
  14. PMS? I get all out of sorts myself, can't think logically or rationally for 3-4 days a month.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I saw that, just wanted to get more opinions on it.
  18. 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?
  19. Singulair is apparently gluten-free. I've been taking it for a year or so and though it's expensive it seems to work.
  20. 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.
  21. 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...
  22. 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...
  23. 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.
