    I had the oddest thing happen this week and the only thing I can think that is in common is the Glade scented carpet powder. A little background, I'm pretty sensitive to things, if there is flour in the air it can trigger a reaction for me. Then I have my buddy Jack, who has 4 legs and came to me thru a rescue organization. He had been through several...

    As far as the rice is concerned you have to know the type of vinegar they use with it. I've been glutened with just a rice bowl and sashimi, turns out they were using a vinegar made for sushi rice and it had some barley syrup as a sweetner.

    We went to Chart house last night, specifically chose them because they had a gluten free menu. Open Original Shared Link So when we arrived I asked for the gluten free menu and was given it and it was obviously different from the regular one (different size and style so the server should have seen based on that alone). I ordered and explained that I...

    I had am ah-ha moment this week and want to share & maybe learn more from others. Do I have low serotonin levels? In May I had a huge reaction to Synthroid that put me in bed for days and I haven't bounced back completely. I suspect it set off a reaction of some sort that totally messed with my absorption and hormone levels. Besides all the physical...

    I've been on Armour since last September and was doing wonderfully on it (my other hormone levels had increased too just like my primary said). I stupidly decided because I was having all these hormone issues to go see an endocrinologist, which I did toward the end of last year. The endo did more testing and decided in April that I needed to be on synthetic...

    Open Original Shared Link There was an article in the Colorado paper painting the restaurant as a victim in all of this, and perhaps to some extent they are, but on a blog someone mentioned two photos on the chef's FB page that showed a kitchen with a group of people and I believe one of the captions mentioned the restaurant or a timeline that led to that...

    In contrast you have Ming Tsai, a chef with a child with food allergies who is active with education for food service in this area. I wonder how he feels about this debacle. He should be encouraged to speak out for better training and education.

    Open Original Shared Link Well it looks like they got the message.

    Thank you all, as a group we all have the power to help change this sort of behavior. Yesterday when I posted I was so upset and angry and felt like there was so little I could do to stop this guy from hurting anyone else. I haven't posted or blogged much in the last year, it has been a rough one for me. A string of gluten exposures triggered an awful...

    From their website they make reference to the Glenwood Springs restaurant still being open in 2008. I only looked because I didn't want to implicate them if I was wrong. I'm just hoping if he is still working there that they will address it with him (I did contact them). Honestly I just posted because I was appalled that what I had suspected for a...

    Opps your right, I missed that, but it probably would not hurt to let them know just so they can address it since who knows what sort of influence he had on what is done in that location now if he no longer works there. I'm probably a tad bit oversensitive since I was glutened on Saturday and am still suffering from the effects of it.

    I had to do a few things this morning but came back and did a bit more googling. He appears to work for a restaurant called Beau Jo's in Glenwood Springs Colorado. If you look he is mentioned on this page, Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link They have a bunch of gluten-free items on their menu... Looks like a chain. I imagine they would...

    I always wondered how much some chef's cared about making something safe for a celiac. I was talking to a friend this morning and she mentioned a facebook post from someone she knew and how he would give people asking for gluten free food regular pasta. I'm not normally so quick to post this but if you look at where he has worked you can see he has has...

    I used to live near Hershey Pa and some of my friends had summer jobs at the factory and also at the Reese plant(OK this was a while ago). I can remember them saying how the company reclaimed chocolate if it didn't form correctly or when they cleaned machines, that the chocolate was too valuable to just trash. Now I don't know if they are still doing that...

    Thanks, it's just hard. If she was hooked on narcotics no one would give me one iota of flack about trying to help her. I'm just going to go with an open mind and heart and try to make a difference, and well if it makes me nuts someone can just bail me out of the psych ward.
  16. idonteatwheat
    **claps** I just applaud you for going above and beyond for her. I had a hard time at first too, it has gotten better for me. I think part of it was learning the signs of when I was eating something that wasn't good for me so I could stop before I had eaten a lot of it. I suppose in a sense I am lucky that way that I get this awful mucous icky feeling...

    Hey there is a book written by Dr. Peter Green that might help him understand the disease if you can get him to read it. It covers most of the physical issues and risks and explains how the disease damages our bodies, maybe reading it from a doctor would help him to accept it. If you are in a committed relationship that you think is going to be permanent...

    It sounds like an allergic thing, I get that if I have something with MSG or for that matter gluten although I suspect I am one of the special ones who is also allergic to it since I can't be around it in the air either. I think it is your stomach's way of dealing with a substance you shouldn't have eaten. I know now that if I get that icky phlegmy feeling...

    Thanks everyone for the support. She is in her mid 40's, long enough on this earth to know she isn't invincible. I could mentally wrap my mind around a teen thinking it isn't a big deal. I told a friend today it is like watching a diabetic eat raw sugar and not use insulin, you just know it is going to have horrible implications. I'll know more soon...

    I am so frustrated with my cousin, she was recently diagnosed but has been sick with an assortment of things for years. Well according to her she just has blunted villi but she isn't certain she has celiac's since she hasn't gotten back her bloodwork yet. I just hope the lab doesn't screw it up or that it isn't a false negative although I am not even sure...

    You know I have that sometimes too. I know I react to MSG and I have wondered at times if they put it on some salads. I googled it a while back and found that there is some chemical farmers use that is similar to MSG that gets into the pant's system and cannot be washed off. It makes me crazy because it doesn't happen all the time just sometimes. I also...

    People can be so clueless and insensitive. I've been dealing with it for about 2 years now and some people have been fabulous and others horrible. I suppose the worse has been my husband who during the first year would conveniently forget and offer me things I couldn't have or suggest places to eat out with nothing I could eat or where I had a horrible...

    I've said it so many times, if I had to use an epipen for this so many more people would get how serious it is for me to eat a fraction of a crumb. It's so easy for someone to say it is imagined even though it causes you a whole host of issues for days afterward. Sometimes now though I have to just stop eating, I can tell at that point (but not always)...

    Have you looked into what products you are using on your hair and skin? I've had to find gluten free shampoo and soaps to get my skin calmed down. I used to get an incredible itchy scalp, face, shoulders and back, it turns out I was using an intensive conditioner with wheat germ oil at times and it would cause a flare up of symptoms. I've been using a...
