I wouldn't give up on your favorites there if you are only worried about the soy sauce....I asked my favorite place (I was a regular before I was diagnosed) if they could use a fresh pan and my own soy sauce...and I was surprised when she knew what I was talking about and had another customer that also has celiac. It has been no problem for me to bring my...

Also...an easy solution is to not put any food directly on the oven racks, as long as your food doesn't touch the rack it wouldn't be glutened. Trick spots mentioned above are good things to clean, but it would be very unlikely that this would touch your food. personally I would run the cleaning cycle and be done with it, but I am not overly sensitive...

From what I understand the cleaning setting should do the trick....If you have a cast iron skillet that is the recommeneded way to de-gluten it.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for here..... but hopefully I can help in some way. Hidden places for gluten can be: Shampoo/condition/lotions/bodywash...etc. toothpaste dish soap chapstick/lipstick old tupperware type containers old wooden spoons or other porius surfaces cast iron skillets non-stick pans if the coating is starting to wear...

My understanding with B12 (I am also deficient in this) is that it is disolvable. Meaning if you don't need it you will just purge it. So you really can't take too much. Some signs that you may be purging alot of what you are taking from my doc is a)bright yellow urine, or yellow poo. If you have problems with either of those regularly you may need to...

Thanks for all the help guys!!! I guess I have lots to do before they get back!

Thanks for the thoughts guys!!! I am not sure that telling them I will only eat what I bring is the right answer though, I would like to teach them how to cook for me. It would be different if I visited them out of state, I would just cook verything for myself during my vacation. But with them living nearby, I am sure that will be many get together situations...

My guess is that you are having a pretty good case of withdrawls...or big CC problems. I would try to really eliminate all traces of gluten, especially CC. I think it is great that your SO is on board with your diet change, and I am sure with a little learning together it will be just fine. Just remember that you only have to deal with 1 day at a time...

Good Afternoon All!!! I just spoke with my mother yesterday and confirmed that they are moving back to Iowa from Arizona at the end of July...I am not close to my mother, and this thought STRESSES me out! My mother is very set in her ways, and I am sure she will not understand nor be willing to comply with my new dietary restrictions. I am finally...

Well since yesterday was much more exciting than today has been so far, I will start with that: Breakfast: Sausage links, and gluten-free Katz bread made into French Toast (first experience with gluten-free bread and LOVED IT) Snack: apple slices with caramel to dip Lunch: skipped because of a late breakfast and knew that a big dinner was coming up Dinner...

I do have to agree about the Katz Gluten Free Challah, that is the first gluten-free bread that I have purchased and eaten. I haven't tried Udi's, but everyone raves about how good it is, glad to know that someone else shares my thoughts on Katz's!!

I was told by my neurologist that falling over with your eyes closed is a symptom of a B12 deficiency. If you haven't been checked for this I would recommend it.

I too have very few symptoms of glutening. Mostly just bad D for a couple of hours and then back to being OK. I have been doing the diet since Jan of this year and so far have not be "accidently" glutened. Even last week I apparently read a label too quickly and ate something that had soy sauce in it...I had no symptoms of glutening. I went back to buy...

Also if they were checking for B12 in order to get a true reading (from what my lab told me) they have to do the methamalonic Acid as well. That specific test can take a few days to come back, so it is possible that the hospital did not run the B12. Maybe something to ask your GP.

I had severe swelling in both of my feet and legs and it wasn't really "painful" but more of an annoyance, and uncomfortableness with walking. I was diagnosed with B12 defiecency and once I got my levels back up the swelling went down. This was before my Celiac Diagnosis (should have had a doctor with half a brain then) and I have not had any problems...
