    Not all people react the same......I generally show symptoms the following day and then they last for 7-10 days. It depends on the severity of Celiac and what you've eaten. Keeping a food diary is a good idea. I did it for about 2-years and it helped isolate things that didn't sit well with my system. Specifically, I was able to figure out that Soy...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I've found that Pork is harder to digest in general so I pretty much have eliminated it from my diet. I figure that my system has enough problems without making it work harder in digestion. Anyone else??? But, I do admit, I love the smell of bacon cooking in the morning and crave a good BLT (Or, as Billy Crystal said in the "Princess Bride," Nothing...

    I've always seen a delay in symptoms as I think the food gets pushed thru your body everytime you eat something. I might even see a good-day where I feel fine followed-up by the bloating / pains / brain-fog / big-D. I also agree that the inflamation lingers even though you are eating gluten-free. It just takes a while for your body to process the offending...

    Seeing as you're from Ohio and your body is bleeding green I would say you must be an Ohio University Bobcat! Joking aside I hope you are okay and able to figure out what the heck is going on! I wish I could be of more help but, aside from the liver check I have no clue? Best of luck..... Cleveland Bob OU '90

    I am curious to know if anyone has done the 23andMe genetic testing kit? They sell a kit for $399 which is based on your saliva and can tell you about various diseases and conditions in your genetic makeup. With so many associated conditions / problems that Celiac people have I just wondered if anyone did this and/or learned anything worthwhile...

    I always go to PF Changs @ Planet Hollywood on the strip. They have a gluten-free menu and it's nice not to have to explain everything to a clueless waiter / waitress. Good Luck! Cleveland Bob

    This is copied from another Cruise topic I replied-on recently............ I went on an Alaskan Cruise aboard Norweigan......They sent me a list of gluten-free foods prior to departure and let me pick what items I wanted to have aboard (English Muffins / Pasta / Crackers, etc.). Then, I had a meeting the first night with the Maitre'd who reviewed the...

    I make a gluten-free version of Rice Krispy Treats.......Use any gluten-free rice cereal, butter and marshmallows. Melt butter & marshmallows together in a pan and mix-in the cereal. Works well with Rice Chex, too! Cleveland Bob

    I don't live in Pittsburgh but, I travel to the area every 2-weeks to check on the progress of the Benedum Hall project on the Univ. of Pitt campus. I am wondering what celiac friendly restaurants (if any) might be in the area? A little local insight would be most welcome. As it stands now I have been traveling with a home-packed lunch and I eat while on...

    Depending on how long you went un-diagnosed can / will determine how long before you're feeling consistently better. The damage done in the intestine doesn't heal itself overnight. For me It was the better part of 3-1/2 years before I started feeling "normal" again (which, of course, could be argued by anyone who knows me ;-). I still have bad days after...

    Some of you probably already know but for those who don't.....Hershey Park has several foods that are gluten-free. I visited the guest services office and was given a print-out of all the ingredients for foods made in the minetown area of the park (It was 5-pages long). This helped with my planning for the day. They pointed me toward 3-4 places in the park...

    I don't really suffer from neuro symptoms but, I did eliminate soy from my diet as I tested-out severly sensitive to soy. I don't eat chocolate but I do chew wrigley's spearmint and/or peppermint gum when I'm not feeling the greatest and It ususally helps me. In general I try to avoid all soy but I have been known to eat things that have soy lecthin in it...

    I recall seeing 2 health food stores on Maui (The first being on the main street as your making your way out of the airport toward the other side of the island and the other in Lahaina). I believe the two stores were of the same chain although the name escapes me. Also, there is a grocery store in Kaanapali that I shopped at as we also stayed in a condo and...

    Lins, I'll welcome you in advance to my hometown. Where will you be staying? Depending upon what side of town you will be I can recommend some options for you. We have all the usual restaurant chains and some of them around here offer gluten-free menu's (PF Changs on the East Side / Carrabba's on the West Side). Mostly I eat plain burgers, plain steaks...

    I order Egg-Beaters as they are usually cooked seperately from the regular breakfast foods (More likely to get them cooked in a clean pan versus regular eggs). Skip the bacon / sausage / hash browns and opt for the fruit. Not much for choices but it beats the alternative of getting sick. Best of Luck Cleveland Bob

    I had the same thing until I discovered that it was the soy in the candy that was making me feel sick. Maybe you're sensitive to soy? Happy Holidays! Cleveland Bob

    I don't remember the stores name but on Maui near the airport is a health food store that was pretty big in size. It's on the main street heading out away from the airport. I recall seeing the same store name in Lahaina although that one was smaller in size. I didn't have Celiac when I was there 5-years ago so I can't say for certain that you'll find what...

    I'm sure this has probably been asked and answered a million times on this forum but, I'm looking at a vitamin that has wheat grass and barley grass listed. The manufacturer says it's gluten-free.....I just want to be sure. Anyone? Anyone? Buehler...... Cleveland Bob
