    Hey Lindsey, I have actually worked for a caterer, in the office, in the kitchen, and as a server. Most reputable, nice caterers know exactly what you mean when you say you need a gluten-free meal. Almost every party I have worked, I hear something like, "Okay, we've got 80 regular meals, 8 kids' meals, 2 vegetarian, and 1 gluten-free." And they know...

    Wow. You are a trooper! You have been through so much!!! It is possible that celiac caused these other problems. It is also possible that you simply have had multiple, related conditions. Celiac (untreated) increases our risk of other problems, particularly autoimmune ones and/or digestive ones. I am so sorry for all you've had to go through. I hope...

    my favorite thing for situations like this is to make a big pot of quinoa, cooked in half water, half gluten-free chicken broth (or veggie broth, if you prefer). it's easy, yummy, nutritious, and soothing.

    This is a great idea! To it, I would add this tip that has helped me: I typed up, in very fun fonts, a wide variety of snacks that I can have. It says "Want a Snack?" at the top, and then it has three columns below: Sweet, Savory, and Filling. Then I listed a bunch of gluten-free snacks in each column. This helps me a lot when I have an attack of the...

    This is a great question. To it, I'd add: are you using lotion or chapstick that could be "glutening" you without you reazling it? It's so tough to have all your bases covered. I've been at this for a while, but I still feel like every time I turn around, I'm finding little ways that gluten is sneaking into my diet (like SALSA made on equipment shared with...

    I really enjoyed her book, too! I also have THE GLUTEN FREE BIBLE, but it is quite out of date by now. Anyway, I was glad someone else said this, because I feel the exact same way about the practical help from her book.

    Hi! While I am new to these boards, I am not new to this whole celiac deal, so I want to say first of all: YOU ARE NOT ALONE in this! I hope that these forums provide one piece to the puzzle of the support system you need. This diet is incredibly difficult to do when the people around you are not suppotive. It might be a good idea to arm yourself in...

    A resounding YES! I feel every emotion in my gut. Nervous, anxious, scared, worried, angry... even butterflies when I'm happy. You are not alone.

    Can a person be officially diagnosed by a doctor without the endoscopy? As in, if your doctor is convinced through other means (as mine is), is that diagnosis official? Or does the "official-ness" somehow ride on the biopsy?

    Thanks for the thoughts and input! I appreciate you taking the time. The thing about the SCD is that, first, I'm not "severly ill." My symptoms are super mild! No one would know I was sick if it weren't for my diet. Second, in what I fondly refer to as "my crazy-diet" under the Naturopath doctor, I was off of everything you can think of. Gluten...

    Hello all, I'm new to celiac.com, but not at all new to celiac and being gluten-free. I was initially diagnosed with microscopic colitis back in 2002 after a colonoscopy and biopsy. I think it was a bit of an extreme measure, considering that my only symptom was/is loose stools twice a day. Nothing dramatic. Also, I hate the term "microscopic colitis...
