    I don't really think about stuff I miss cause just about anything can be made gluten free and at almost 5 years I don't really remember what gluten stuff tasted like. New foods discovered are better like parsnip "mashed potatoes", eggplant and fennel. Have discovered how much I love and crave veggies.

    Agree with Kareng. I don't worry about plates and/or silverware at all. I just worry about the food!

    The rule of thumb on healing is six months to two years, even four years depending on how old you are, how sick you were etc. At two weeks it is to be exoected that you will have ups and downs. But how encouraging that you are feeling so much better so quickly!

    Practical Paleo by Dianne Sanfilippo is my favorite. Even if you aren't into the paleo lifestyle all the recipes are naturally gluten free and very easy! I was never into cooking until I found this book. Well worth the money!!

    I have also read that same thing, although I don't remember where so can't quote the source but it was just a month or so ago. Also they can be difficult to digest.

    Rice, quinoa are in the grain family and they may not work for you right now as they can be difficult for some people to digest. Perhaps some time down the line as your gut heals you may be able to reintroduce them into your diet if you wish. My niece is a vegan and know she eats tons of veggies. Is fish an option at all for you. That's a tough one as...

    "Awkward" sort of goes along with celiac I think, especially in the beginning. My first dinner party with friends after diagnosis I took my own little plate of food. When I (and my plate) sat down there was total quiet as everyone stared at me. At that time I was not a cook in any way, shape or form! The only comment made by anyone was "Oh, what is that"...

    Sounds like you are on the right track!

    Why is it not possible to not drink or smoke? Because you are young? Sorry, no excuse. How badly do you want your health? How badly do you want to live. Just saying

    I understand the need for the vet prescribed diet.... but I am going to object a little here. And some of you may disagree but that's ok, I'm going to stick my neck out here anyway! We currently have three dogs and prior to this had five, the oldest being 18. A couple of our furkids were given vet prescribed foods for various conditions. Once I went g.f....

    Pile your plate with lots of your own dressing, corn bread & desserts and be sure you go first. Even if it means scooping out your portions as it comes out of the oven. My first year filled my plate first I hid my plate in the laundry room till time to sit down! lol Get involved with the food prep so that you know exactly what you will be eating. And...

    I agree! It's moms job to make sure her child has safe foods. Perhaps once she become more accustomed to the ins and outs of g.f. eating she will calm down. The more upset she is the worse it is for her child. Stashing some items in a small cooler makes life a whole lot easier. That said.....this is a learning process!

    I couldn't live without puppy kisses! We feed Natural Balance grain free. You have to watch any foods or treats that even say "gluten/wheat free" as they sneak in barley or oats! Raw food diet is also a good way to go. I don't do that we have three and it can get a little pricey but worth checking into. Also for treats we use g.f. Chex.

    I celebrate the date I was diagnosed. I cried cause there was finally an answer to why I was so sick and then I cried when I found out what it meant! Now...I eat G.F. cake.

    Hear you loud and clear! I gained cause food tasted so darn good again. And I could eat again without getting sick! Give it a little time and things should even out as you get more comfortable with the new eating plan.

    Kraft is very good about calling out allergens. That said you may want to look at the list of ingredients that are in the product. Any one of those, or all, are probably not healthy and your body may quite possibly be reacting to that!

    GFinDC - I agree! Sometimes we have glutened-like symptoms after eating and/or drinking but those symptoms are Not related to any gluten at all. Read the ingredient list. Take note of all of the additives and chemicals that are in candy bars and soda's (not to mention other processed foods). Those additives are most often the cause of our discomfort...

    Mouth sore were one of my first symptoms before being diagnosed six to eight of them at a time. I still get them from time to time now but usually they heal over night. He might be getting some gluten from some place.... In the meantime you might ask the doctor for Miracle Mouth if his sore are over the top bad. It's a prescription that numbs the mouth...

    1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 of the pie. Yup, I'd feel sick too! But I've been guilty of eating the whole darn pizza and being sick so there you have it. My bet that it was toooo much pie. lol

    Kareng - Thanks for posting the link for the glutenease, digestgluten etc. I cringe when I hear people suggesting those products. The last big celiac convention that I attended some of the leading celiac doctors addressed those "gluten aids" stating that they are basically a waste of money.

    I found a bag of g.f. cookies on my desk one day. Never did find out who left it but brought a smile to my face all day! Special people. !!!

    I so agree!!! Some time back I went into a regular bakery to buy my son a special loaf of bread. omg!! To me, the smell was nauseating and my nose felt like it was on fire! Fast food places stink! lol

    There is a lot of meat for protein on the Paleo diet. No beans as those are hard to digest. If you choose to try it you could probably skip the beans, grains and dairy (which are harder to digest anyway) and load up on the veggies. Maybe some fish ? What I love about the Paleo way is the many ways of fixing veggies. The book I suggested has wonderful...

    I don't understand "kinda sorta" celiac, however if gluten makes you sick then you don't eat it, right? That would be enough of a diagnosis for me! If I am glutened it results in severe vomiting, diarrhea (followed by days of constipation) and passing out so those symptoms are "normal". Although is anything normal when it comes to Celiac? Seems like...

    I don't know of any mainstream sodas that have gluten. To avoid some of the nasty stuff in soda you might want to try something organic. I lo0ve an organic root beer now and then.
