    My mom volunteers for a non-profit exchange program here on the east coast of the US. She recently noticed a young man who has celiac disease and is coming to the US for a year. The students who come live in a host family during their stay and attend the local high school. My parents and I cannot host at this point in our lives, but my mom believes...

    I lived in Argentina for a year after high school, I now speak Spanish fluently. I took a semester of portuguese in college. But I think that immersion in the language is the best way to learn a language. To get started without a big investment a lot of libraries in the us have language learning discs (good for in the car). Also the bbc has online language...

    I'm by no means an expert on this, I have a bit of a distrust for drs. I would think the apt will be very different if you have already been diagnosed than if you haven't. I think there a lots of posts on what tests to ask for. I would suggest writing down symptoms you have, when you started noticing them, and when during the day the symptoms occur. Good...

    My dad and I will be walking in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. Ironically we were assigned to the Pillsbury Dough Boy, I guess he is really cute though. My favorite food cartoon as a kid!

    I have often considered becoming a volunteer firefighter, but with my current schedule impossible. I did join one in the summer of 2010, but again I was too busy to really get trained (AKA save someone) and then I moved. They do have some positions that are less physically demanding (at least they did in the area I lived). Plus, I think a major part...

    My little sister is also a bit jealous of the "attention" my mom gives to my special diet. I am living at home while at grad school, my sister spends most of the year away at college. So my parents and I are really close. My sister decided to become a vegetarian right after I went gluten free. I haven't seen her actively putting gluten in my gluten free...

    I have always had a lot of hair, and correspondingly loose more than most. When I started getting really sick I was loosing lots and lots, I mean shower clogging amounts. After going gluten free my hair is staying more where it belongs, on my head. However, when I get glutened my hair starts falling out a bit more. It took a while for me to notice that...

    1) Remember you get the sick feeling after eating gluten, the people offering you suspicious (or openly) gluten filled foods....they only get the good feeling of sharing with you 2) Its important to be comfortable and healthy, it is not necessary to justify the gluten free diet (or any other).

    I have mentioned trying gluten free to my sister a few times. Her response is always...but then what would I eat. UMMMMM.....have she not seen the shelves full of gluten free foods in the house. I probably have more yummy snacks than she does, and they aren't even all sugary. She always mentions that I get anxious, tired, and snippy (to be polite) when...

    When I was there last summer there was a great whole foods store. I never went myself but the person who did the shopping came back with a bunch of stuff labeled gluten free and said there was so much she didnt know what to get. Even in the prepared foods section, they reassured her that everything is prepared separately and no switching of spoons (the...

    You may not believe this but even as a grad student I have felt this a little. I being cereal with me to my early morning class and snack during break. The other students "tease" about my kix cereal, and not its not actually kix but a gluten free version. We then went through the whole, want a piece of my muffin thing, no thanks im allergic, it doesnt have...

    I'm from MD. Between Baltimore and DC. I tested negative for celiac genes, but am severely gluten intolerant.

    A friend of mine who has celiac recommended that I get tested for gluten intolerance. She noticed that I was loosing weight and not going out with friends as much. This was in college. After she mentioned it to me, I already had an idea what it was from being friends with her but never thought that it could affect me. I did go to doctors and got the tests...
