    Hello, I wasn't sure which board this would be best for, so I'll try this one. My husband and I had planned a quiet Thanksgiving for just us and our boys (we don't have family nearby anyways), and have our gluten free meal planned and bought. A (newer) friend of ours was planning to do the same thing with her family, so I suggested maybe getting together...

    Thank you so much for posting this question! I've been starting to wonder the same thing! I'm due in December, and I just know lots of very well meaning people, especially from church, are going to insist on bringing meals and want to set up a meal calendar because it's just what they do when someone has a baby. In my case that could work out alright for...

    Hello, I haven't posted in quite awhile, and not sure if this question has been posted or not: Is there a guide (book, website, blog, pamphlet, anything...) written specifically for family and friends about celiac disease/gluten intolerance? Mostly because of an elimination diet, and also a quesionable biopsy I have been told by both a GI...

    I would encourage her to seek the help of a dietician for her children so she can become more educated about an appropriate diet and calorie intake for children. (and she may need other therapy herself, but it will only be helpful to her if she comes to a place where she wants to be helped). I noticed several other posts stated to report her: I would...

    I'm curious about this one too - I've replaced stoneware and cutting boards and have my own separate toaster. Anything scratched and plastic is out. I'm acquiring my own full set of cooking utensils too. I'm mostly replacing things in stages because, as mentioned, it is ridiculously expensive to go out and re-furnish your whole kitchen. I still use our...

    I recently got a copy of some medical records from a former doctor and discovered that they 'forgot' to tell me lab results from a year ago (prior to going gluten free). I was so upset to discover that I am (was?) pre-diabetic. I have always known I have a larger risk of having diabetes (long family history, and I was a gestational diabetic), but had been...

    I completely understand! I can sometimes 'feel' the eyes rolling from my husband when I talk about CC and food issues now. But, there is hope to be found: the other day we took a picnic and I made myself a gluten-free sandwich - far from his bread crumbs and whatever else he was making. Soon after eating, that familiar stomach pain starting to creep up...

    Yes, I had kidney stones (along with a whole lot of other things going wrong with me) before I went gluten free. I was in the ER for them the first time (January last year) and again in April then went gluten free in June and haven't had another issue since. Not sure what the direct link is or if there is medical evidence out there - but I do think that...

    Thanks for the replies. GlutenFreeManna - I think that you're correct in saying that I am probably getting 'glutened' a lot - and that is probably why I am only feeling 75% better. I have IBS too, which could account for some discomfort - but unfortunately I know I am fighting an uphill battle. My husband thinks he is fairly understanding - and then leaves...

    Hello, I'm new to the forum and not sure if similar things have been posted...but I'm a bit confused about what to think of my 'almost' diagnosis. Last spring/summer I was tested (blood test) for celiac disease. While I was waiting for the results, I looked up some information about celiac and thought "wow, that so sounds like me!" I cut out gluten for...
