    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...
  3. Bobbijo6681
    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!
  7. Bobbijo6681
    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.
  13. Bobbijo6681
    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...
  16. Bobbijo6681
    It took time also to diagnois me, and I get aggrivated sometimes when I think about it. I didn't always push hard enough, when I was diagnosed with a B12 defiency, I asked "why" but when they doc said "who knows...it just happens to some people" I left it at that. If I would have pushed harder then, I may have saved myself quite a bit of problems. But...

    Joanna, I don't personally get panic attacks with gluten ingestion, but I know that a gluttening can cause me stomach issues for 3-5 days. I am not sure if it is the same with panic/anxiety, but would have to assume so. It is very easy for others to say "deal with it" but I see where you are coming from with your son. Maybe the best approach with him...
  18. Bobbijo6681
    I do not live in your area, but definately recommend finding one that is well trained for Celiac's. I WASTED $200 to see a dietician that told me to stay away from gluten for 6 months and then I could try and add it back in after that if I could tolerate it.....UMMMM NO! Also she didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know from reading on here so...
  19. Bobbijo6681
    PS..The test was very tough for me to do....with the diet that you have to follow the day before and not eating anything for almost 16 hours was very tough. I did it because I want to feel better, but it was hard. Hopefully you will have an easier time with it!!
  20. Bobbijo6681
    Unfortunately mine came back negative for the over growth so I am still seeking out what is causing my problems. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
  21. Bobbijo6681
    Gemini, The only thing I would add is that hand lotions or things like that should also be checked. If you eat with your hands that have gluten on them from lotion that could pose a problem for some. Otherwise I agree with you, I didn't change anything that doesn't go in my mouth. I don't plan on eating my shampoo so feel pretty comfortable using anything...
  22. Bobbijo6681
    There were definately major improvements right away, but I am still not 100%.
  23. Bobbijo6681
    From what I have read on here you can put your cast iron in a self cleaning oven....but it makes a HUGE mess. Just be prepared to clean the oven when you are finished with it. Also with the grill if you clean it well it should be fine, but if you are worried you can put a piece of aluminum foil down before you put your food on it just to be cautious. ...
  24. Bobbijo6681
    If your friends are understanding about the diet, you most certainly could cook for yourself and they would be OK with it. I am sure they do not want to ruin your vacation with you being sick, so they will work with you to make sure that you will be fine. You can also use it as an opportunity to teach them some things, and show them some recipes that you...

    for a gluten-free cake mix I tried Betty Crocker's yellow cake a couple of weeks ago. It was very good, a littler drier than a regular cake, but much better than no cake at all. Good Luck with your 7 year old, I can bet that will be challenging!
