GFLindsey

Ooops, obviously I meant "bought". Haha, promise I haven't started drinking it yet.

I just bottle a bottle of Olde Savannah Sweet Tea wine. It is a grape wine with citrus spirits and "natural flavors". That made me a little nervous. Has anyone ever had this wine? If so, is it safe for me to drink? Nothing would hit the spot better than some sweet tea wine on our first warm evening in Ohio! Thanks for your help

Yes - and it is FANTASTIC. My boyfriend works in Oakland and stops by to pick up bread for me when I run out (I recommend the flax seed loaf). Also, I have had their white sandwich bread, whoopie pie, cupcakes, brownies, and pumpkin tarts. All of them are delicious, but the whoopie pie and pumpkin tart are my favorites! I can't wait to actually stop in myself...

Recently, I have seen a ton of gluten-free products popping up on Aldi shelf. First, Gorilla Munch and Panda Puffs have been sold at the two local Aldi locations for $2.79 a box! I was so happy when I saw them on shelves. I believe they will only be available a limited time but it is still exciting. Second, I started noticing that Aldi started labeling...

TH - Very interesting information! I will search that topic and see what I find. I also was diagnosed as a Stage 1 Celiac, so minimal to no damage had been done to my small intestine. I wondered how that would factor into my recovery time and my reaction to glutenings. Thanks for the info! SG - Thanks for sharing your experiences. I truly would love for...

I guess I shouldn't have said "No Reaction" in the title, because I did have some issues. However, nothing too extreme and actually quite ordinary for how I have been feeling these last 3 months.

On Saturday afternoon I accidentally ate 3 wheat flour cookies (See my post "I wish it was an Oreo"). I literally had a panic attack when I realized my mistake and prepared for the worst reaction since going gluten-free. I have yet to directly ingest gluten since starting the diet in early Feb. However, I have had reactions many times after eating things...

You seem to be "overthinking". Naturally gluten free foods (beans, nuts, meat) are not going to have a gluten-free label because it is just not needed. When these things are processed (canned beans in chili sauce, honey-roasted nutes, deli meats) then you need to check. Start by creating a list of your go-to grocery items. If this includes any processed...

Wow - sounds like you attend the college I work at.. small, private school which requires students to purchase a meal plan. I am an admissions counselor and worked with a Celiac student last year (before I was even diagnosed - it was the first I had heard of the disease actually!). First - be very, very direct. Jeopardizing your health is NOT acceptable...

Thank you all. I can't even explain how comforting it is to have people who understand! So this is weird. It's been over 3 hours and NOTHING. My stomach hurt a little and I saw nauseated, but not more than normal. I am always this way after I eat. In the past, if I get cc'ed I normally get diarrhea right away and feel like death is upon me. Obviously I...

Thank you. So far so good.

About 20 minutes ago, I ate 3 Mi-Del Ginger Snaps and then looked at that bag and realized that they were NOT the gluten-free kind. (I KNOW!! READ EVERY LABEL - I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF!) I immediately panicked and started crying. I am almost shaking I am so scared of whats to come. All I can say is that if I was going to eat straight up wheat cookies.. I wish...

I am just past the three month mark and I still feel pretty awful. It can be really disheartening at times, but it is helpful to hear that everyone has had their challenges. I am similar to others, because I have had some symptoms completely disappear (ulcers, diarrhea, ringing in my ears) but some have gotten worse or appeared out of nowhere (severe bloating...

Please answer the poll question and share your personal recovery experience!

I want to start by saying that I work in an office with very supportive and thoughtful co-workers. I also want to say that it simply somtimes does not make a difference. I still feel left out and frustrated at times too. I work in an office where we have food-related events and celebrations several times a week at minimum (birthday parties, anniversaries...
