I will be traveling to Sutton, WV in a week. Does anyone out there know of stores that may sell gluten free food items or restaurants that have gluten free friendly menus? Any help would be appreciated. I did find restaurants in Charleston(an hour away) but no food stores. Thanks for your help!!!

My daughter just had this done. She has had two endoscopies/biopsies in the last three years. Her GI did this because the upper endoscopy is very invasive and the pill came is "COOL" non invasive for kids. My daughter is nine. She still has symptoms of gluten even on a gluten free diet. After the camera endoscopy he diagnosed her with refractory sprue and...

Anne- My daughter has the Addison's, Celiac and Hypothyroid just wanted to make sure you are aware that thyroid disease is also one of the autoimmune diseases linked to addison's and celiac. If your Endocrine is a good one they will now this already. FYI Diabetes is another common one. The initial diagnosis of Addison's disease was extremely frightening...

Yes, the symptoms are very much like Celiac. My daughter went undiagnosed for years. We thought her Celiac was just not getting better. Last summer she got a really nice bronze tan. She is red headed and fair skinned. Her endo ran the blood test and low and behold she had Addison's. Here are some links to websites that have info about addison's disease...

I use Sherrie's frozen pie crust for all my one crust pies. I have not found a recipe for pie crust that tastes as good yet. 2 for $7.00 at the below address. It works in a pinch. My health food store carries them, if you like them ask yours to carry them. Open Original Shared Link The brand is sherrie's gluten free www.123glutenfree...

NO JOKE! My daughter after a year and a half of still not getting better on the Celiac diet was just diagnosed with Adrenal Insufficiency or Addison's disease. This is another autoimmune disorder that is linked to undiagnosed Celiac. Symptoms Low Blood pressure, fatigue, muscle weakness, diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss etc.. Sound familiar...

Have you had your Thyroid checked? My daughters Endocrine Doctor has stated that her thyroid problems are the cause of her cracked hands. We use Burt Bees hand repair. It seems to work the best.

You can order it from Kraft directly if you can not find it in the store. Also, Annie's Naturals has come out with a boxed GLUTEN FREE Rice Pasta & Cheddar. UPC 1356261001

Hi everyone- I was hoping someone out there might be able to help me out. We will be in Smithfield, North Carolina for a few days and need some help with food stores and dining options. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Christine- This is not an unreasonable request. My daughter's school let us provide a microwave for her use only. It is located in the lunch room. The school assigned an aide to help her heat her lunch(She is 7yrs). I go in and clean it regularly during the week. It has worked out fabulous!!! Jessica

I don't think funions are gluten free. I called the company three months ago and was told they were NOT. I could have gotten misinformation? Anyone else?

I found a recipe in Bette Hagman's "THE GLUTEN-FREE GOURMET COOKS COMFORT FOODS" page 226. Many people on the board thought this recipe was to much work. I make the featherlight mix up ahead of time. My whole family has had these and find they are very similar to the southern biscuit. My dad is a biscuit and gravy man from West Virginia and gave his thumbs...

Circeannc- I know Children's Loratadine Syrup (fruit flavored) is gluten free. I called the company Taro pharm in Israel. They were very knowledgable about celiac and gluten! If your pharmacy does not carry it I'm sure they will order it for you.

I know Whole Foods carries it in Mass.
