Hi Carolyn, Did you ever get to Morroco? I'm going in Nov. What do you suggest? Linda

I just wrote a long blog that disappeared when I hit "post". I don't know why my internet connection always gets these memory jams--mostly when I've just composed a long, thoughtful email. I'll hit send and it hangs up and then says "page cannot be found." How annoying.The title of my original post was "Hot as H***" and mostly I as complaining about the heat...

My 16 y.o nephew was driving home from his girlfriend's house at 1 am and fell asleep. The car rolled over and miraculously--and thanks to his seat belt-- he was able to walk away. Teenage driving is such a scary thing. The problem is they think they are invincible at that age.

The nearest support group to where I live is over an hour away. I called the national association months ago saying I wanted to start one here, and they said they would call me back, but never did.A few weeks ago I found a gluten-free hot dog place (they have regular and gluten free buns because the owner's kid is celiac). I talked to the owner and told her...

Tums are not okay???? How did I miss that? I've been using them without issue for a year.

Mosaic asked about how my weekend with 10 guests went. We had a great time and the food issues worked out okay.Picture this scene:I'm unpacking a bag of bagles, peaches, and barbeque sauce one of the guests had brought. I pick up the barbeque sauce and look at the ingredients."Oh good, it's gluten free," I say. (It actually said that on the jar). Suddenly...

This blog is inspired by Mosiac's tea cakes. I didn't used to get sick when I ate gluten before I was diagnosed (at least I didn't know I was getting sick, but I had thyroid, early menapause, osteopenia, etc). After a year gluten-free I find that my body does react when inadvertedly contaminated. Basically, I don't cheat. I thought I would (like when I...

Today's topic is restaurants. Really good ones, not just the chain places like Outback. I used to love eating out at fine restaurants (OK, and on our yearly road trip from NY to Louisiana to visit my husband's family, it was always Cracker Barrell). So where does a Celiac eat? On road trips now, the easiest thing is to scout out the nearest Outback...

It's helpful, these blogs, aren't they? To finally be heard!! And understood. I think that alone will help many of us heal. Good luck on the tests.

My body and mind are not in agreement on what we should be doing right now. My body wants to sleep but my mind is quite active. I've made a "To do" list but it won't be still... So blogging is a good solution. And reading yours. All of us with this crucial part of our lives (eating) in common. Tomorrow the 17-year old French student my husband and...

And what a lovely artist you are! And I love your little dog, too! And you must have technical support on this thing...how do you post photos?

Hi Armetta, I am amazed and horrified at your experience, mostly about the utter lack of concern for another human being. I am glad your doctor finally figured out what you have, but it seems to me that the medical community failed you utterly for far too long. But I have heard variations on this theme over and over. At least now that you know what you have...

So my earlier comment about my nephew's wedding was written yesterday but apparently I didn't actually publish it. I'm learning. So it's now today, or the day after, and I'm pleased to report that everything went well. My brother, who is also celiac and a bit paranoid, talked to the chef directly and she put aside two plates for us and gave us what...

I should be getting ready, we leave in an hour. But I wonder what I will be able to eat at the wedding (I have had my cereal to make sure I do not starve). They know my restrictions, but I am the least of their thoughts right now. I will report tomorrow on today...
