    Depending on the situation I either stick close to whatever everyone else is having or make that my excuse to stop for take-out gluten-free pizza (we have a great place where the owner if celiac! yum).

    When they bring the meals just smile and ask for an extra plate then pour your own food out on it. Honestly, everyone is so busy scarfing up their own food that they don't pay attention to you. And if they do, just tell them you have a severe food allergy, smile, and continue with eating. Most people don't even pay attention. I learned that the hard...

    Thank you!!! Sounds like you are right. I knew it was high in protien but didn't know about the high fiber. The gas/bloating - thought I was dying!! Whew!!!

    Last night I made a quick (gluten-free) pasta mix dinner from a well known brand (made in dedicated facility etc) and two hours later was sicker than anything, felt like I had been glutened. The gut pain was so severe. This morning I reread all of the ingredients again and noted that the only thing in it that I have not had before was shelled hemp seed...

    I'm not clear on why we are zeroing in on one company, Schar. Corn by itself is hard to digest. If you react to it, don't eat it but don't slam a company for their product. Corn is in a lot of products including many medications. We can't blame everything on celiac. Just saying.............

    Everyone is different. My issues (the big C) became much worse after going gluten-free, for whatever reason. I am 2+ years now and still struggle. It is better, much better, but the problem is still there. Remember that you spent years getting to this point and you can't undo all of the damage in a short period of time.

    Always always question. case in point - Dominio's Pizza. Advertise gluten-free but their prep does not equal gluten-free. I alsways feel better when the manager starts to explain how they deal with CC - and they talk about CC.

    Everyone is different when it comes to symptoms. In the begining a glutening could and would set me back a couple of months, now it is only a few days to get back to feeling good again. I have been gluten-free 2 years. Some people are more snesitive than others and react more strongly. Try not to kick yourself for your mistake and keep going forward!

    Check the posting under Gluten Free San Diego from January 2012. There are a couple of places listed with positive comments from the posters. She mentioned staying at the Hilton Bayfront and the Vela Restaurant. The Yard House with A "gluten sensitive" menu. the Edgewater Grill in Seaport Village tHE Harbor House in Seaport Village Albert's...

    After reading some of the replies...,. I'm still voiting for the professional cleaners to get the crumbs! Sounds like a lot of hard work. !! In our former home after I was diagnosed and deglutenized the kitchen I lines the drawers with paper towels. Made me feel clean and if they became dirty it was easy to throw away and replace without alot of...

    Last summer I stayed at Triple creek Ranch in Montana for a wine weekend which featured St Suprey Vineyards from the Napa Valley. The winemaker, Michael Scholz, was there sharing his wines. I spoke to him at length about this. I was only less than a year into Celiac and had read the same wheat paste arguements. According to him the amount of wheat paste...

    San Diego is a wonderful place to visit and very gluten-free friendly!! The Warren Celiac Disease Foundation is in San Diego so that town is very friendly. Google "Gluten Free in San Diego" and you will come up with tons!

    Oh I hear you!! We recently sold our home and are traveling in our RV for the summer but will be moving into a new place in October...... and I don't look forward to deglutening a new home. Sigh! My home was totally gluten free and now... to move into a new place....... I know the place won't be a disaster but none the less the thought of someone's...

    Hi ~ 62 is not too old. I was diagnosed two years ago at age 59. You should definitely get tested, especially if you have a diagnosed relative. I strongly believe that my mom passed away from undiagnosed/unteated Celiac. Don't take chances, get tested. And if your doctor is opposed - get someone else! Celiac knows no age limits.

    I don't like to eat out with friends when it's a place I can't eat as I still have trouble with embarrassment at bringing my own food, but it does happen from time to time. My friend told me that I should "never never ever have to feel embarrassed at bringing your own food". Ok, so tell me that after you have to do it yourself!

    I tell them I drink lots of wine!

    I am reading the book now and have purchased copies for both of my kids. Don't think they will read it but mom has to try! As celiacs we know how harmful wheat can be but I had no idea to the extent that it damages ones body. I cannot imagine ever eating the stuff agin (even if I wasn't celiac!).

    While there are no degrees of Celiac there can be a "honeymoon" period. After the gut heals some people can eat gluten and experience no symptoms. Howeverconsuming gluten will continue to damage the gut even if you have no symptoms and if you were to start eating gluten again the symptoms will eventually come back. I find, that for me, should I be glutened...

    Thanks for your comments irishheart ~ Yes, I am very hopeful that going off of this last antidepressent will be the "magic" cure! If nothing else celiac is teaching me patience! grr lol

    Sorry, I really don't mean to be rude or combative or any of that.... but sometimes the "chemical' way is the only way out of a difficult situation. After two years I still have trouble with C. Not as much, but still trouble. It doesn't matter that I drink close on to a gallon of water a day and feel like I am floating down the Nile, eat cooked veggies...

    I, personally, wouldn't touch them. I understand that they are trying but, to me, there is way too much risk for cross contamination. They may use a clean counter but they are all grabbing from the same bins. Same lettuce, tomato, etc. Too much risk.
