I was not diagnosed (nor did I have any symptoms) until my second pregnancy. At about 4 months, I developed GI symptoms, insomnia, etc. I just attributed it to being pregnant. The symptoms continued and new ones developed. Over 5 years, I saw doctors for various problems (neurologist for dizzy...

We've tried them several times and each time, we get sick. It's a shame because we really liked having this easy option. Didn't Canada just rule that Cheerios CAN NO LONGER be labeled gluten-free there? We also stay away from other products that rely on some "system" to remove gluten (like...

Vernors
Cara in Boston replied to Jherm21's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We love Vernors and bring it home when we visit Michigan. I hoard it in the basement for any stomach issues that pop up. My son and I (both Celiac) have never had a problem with it. Instead of gatoraide, consider coconut water to replenish fluids and electrolytes. Does a better job and no chemicals... -

Boston- dedicated gluten-free restaurants?
Cara in Boston replied to CeliacMommaX2's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
We just went to Legal for lunch today (near Aquarium) and I had a great conversation with the staff. I learned that ALL their fried foods are gluten-free because the recipe (chickpea flour) was so good, they were able to replace it for all the battered food so that they could eliminate the wait... -
Boston- dedicated gluten-free restaurants?
Cara in Boston replied to CeliacMommaX2's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
We live in Boston. There are no 100% gluten free places, but there are a couple of places we feel very safe - my son is very sensitive and needs precautions taken to prevent cross contamination. When at MGH, we usually walk up the street to Whole Foods for a treat. Lunch or dinner at Legal Seafood... -
Looking for recommendations for places to eat with 2 in our group diagnosed with Celiac. My son is very sensitive, so we are looking for places that not only have gluten free menus, but are also trained to avoid cross contamination and other problems. There seems to be lots of places that say they...

Son gluten by "friends"
Cara in Boston replied to Midwitch's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Things like this happen more often than you would think. I have this included in my son's 504 plan at school: "Staff will be aware of food “bullying” and notify administration and parents if it occurs or is reported. Reported incidents will be handled in accordance with the BPS Anti-bullying pol... -
I think what you are doing is great, however, you will not get the full experience because you will have no reaction when the waiter, menu, kitchen staff, manager, etc. is wrong. Our extended family is constantly rolling their eyes when we decline dinner invitations because they just don't get it...

Chef That Wants Your Feedback
Cara in Boston replied to allergiescooked's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Our frustrations are pretty simple. We have 4 in the family, 2 diagnosed with celiac disease (10 year old and me, the mom). We live in Boston where we seem to have some choices for eating out. However, for the kid, he can go to several places and get a cheeseburger (99, 5 Napkin Burger, etc... -
Cheezits Or Goldfish?
Cara in Boston replied to Wolicki's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Schar makes a little cheese cracker that is pretty good. Slightly larger than goldfish but similar in flavor. They are diamond shaped. We've only seen them (for a couple of years) at our Rite Aid pharmacy (weird) and even though our grocery store carries lots of Schar products, they don't carry...
