    A few years to late, but Real Foods Market and Deli. They have a buffet that has gluten free dishes. They always have a gluten free pizza too, but often with unconventional toppings.

    None of my local stores carried them, so I printed out the form on their website and got one of my local stores to carry them.

    After two years of craving eggrolls, I finaly found some. Feel Good Foods has awesome eggrolls. I have been unable to make decent eggroll wrappers on my own and springroll wrappers are impossible for me to work with, so these have been a life saver for me.

    I have never heard of Reishi spores before. Sounds like something I could have have used yesterday. Before I took those samples I wasn't aware that there was anything that could be done to alvivate glutening symptoms except suffer through it. It is nice to know, since accidentlal glutening does happen, no matter how careful you are.

    I didn't see anything else on this. I would never risk taking it so I could eat gluten, but it did help me after being glutened. A few days ago got stupid after dealing with and difficult emotional situation. I was pretty upset and bought some cookiedough icecream with out even thinking about it. Stupid I know, but in my defence, it was a really, really...

    The best way for me to describe it is I feel like I am under water. When it clears though it is amazing.

    I noticed it seemed to be worse the first summer after I went gluten free. I had never had the itchy bumps you described (Polymorphous Light Eruption) pior to that. I deffinetly belive it is celiac related.

    I was diagnosed with celiacs 2 years ago. Since then I have met and become engaged to a wonderfully supportive man who has gone gluten free to eleminate any risk of me being gluten. Whil eit means th eworld to me that he has done this, I don't feel that it is fair to him to have to give up his favorite foods if he can eat them with out causing me to be glutened...

    I am in pain right now. I am pretty sure I got glutened. Earlier today I had a meeting at a pizza place. Obviously I didn't eat or even drink anything while there. Could it have been from inhaling flour in the air? I never considered my self hyper sensitive. Occasionally my two non celiac children will have poptarts or other gluten containing products in...

    It was definitely a change for the better for me. By the age of 26 I though I had gone through menopause because I completely stopped having periods. The Dr.s tested me for everything, tried putting me on hormones to try and trigger them ect. I felt like a freak, in some ways it was nice but deep down it frightened me. About two months in to being gluten...

    A friend recently invited me over and went out of their way to make me something gluten free and I had to turn it down and hurt their feeling, because it had rye. In their defense they only remembered the word wheat. Although cross contamination was a huge fear in my mind had it not contained rye. I felt so awful. I had no idea they were planning on making...

    I bought a bottle of LIfeway Kefier Pomegranate Acai Blueberry . It is labeled gluten free. I have tried many of their other flavors with no problem, so I didn't bother to read the ingredients until after I had some. Wheat grass was listed on the ingredients, so was barley grass. You would think that because I am still recovering from a glutening right before...

    My sons blood test came back negative. Dr. wouldn't even biopsy and even snapped at me when I requested one. I made it clear that I had tested positive and he had the same exact symptoms as I do/did, only he has had the symptoms since infancy. I didn't develop symptoms until later. She just got made and said, "He doesn't have it alight, you get it now? In...

    ARCHIVED Brain Fog

    Calmom replied to Harpgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Knowing that my brain fog is related to celiacs brought tears of relief to my eyes. There used to be days where I would be afraid to drive because I was so spacey. I thought I was going crazy. Like others have mentioned, it felt like my head was stuffed with cotton. I have been clear for a while but it came back the last two days. I went to a bbq over the...

    So I took my kids in today to be tested. I was hoping for a genetics test but I guess they won't do that? Insurance maybe? I also asked for for my son to be tested for vitamin deficiencies, they wouldn't do that either. My son was so uncooperative. He was having heart burn and stomach cramps but told the dr. he didn't. The dr. wants him tested for other possible...

    I am the one one who is gluten-free, but I am 99.9% sure one of my children has celiacs as well. All my kids are being tested tomorrow. Right now its just easier for me to make my house completely gluten free. I checked out the pot-sticker recipe and and they look so good, I can't wait to try it. The same blog had a recipe for croissants, yay, so I am...

    I was craving egg rolls so I made a spring roll recipe I found here, but due to the wrapper it just didn't hit the spot. I read somewhere that there were gluten free egg roll wrappers but I don't know where to find them, I looked at my local Asian market. If I can find them or find a way to make my own, I would love to use them for potstickers too. I am...

    As soon as his test is over Wednesday he is definitely going gluten free. While I have no doubts in my mind that he has celiacs, I am afraid its going to take a positive test to convince his dad and step mom to be as careful as the need to be. This already is a huge worry for me.

    I haven't had a melt down yet. 2 weeks gluten free. However I have a few episodes of feeling depressed, especially after trying out a gluten free recipe that didn't turn out. The other day I was with family and they stopped to get doughnuts and they smelled so good. I got a little upset because I thought it was inconsiderate, but I understood that they didn...

    The Dr.s never told me what to have him eat. I called and requested the test after I was diagnosed.It seems they have looked at everything except celiacs for him. No one ever told me how much eat myself so I just guessed and loaded up. He splits his time between his dads house and my own, but has been eating gluten free at my house. I never had the biopsy...

    My son is getting tested on Wednesday, so his dad and I have been feeding him a high gluten diet. Actually, I am having all three of my kids tested, but he is the only one who displays symptoms. He is not handling it well at all. I picked him up from his dads today only to learn he spent the morning vomiting up bile. Now my son mentioned he thought there...

    The supplement I am taking is D3. I take fish oil on occasion, but I often forget. I will start taking them more regularly.

    I was taking 2000 iu a day. I was honestly worried that my levels were going to be too high because of the amount of sun I get, so I was shocked when I found out it was so low. My dr. hasn't mentioned retesting, but I'll call in few months. Having been to his office so often lately trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I secretly think he was sick...

    It has only been a week for me.

    Mods please move if in the wrong place. I found out today that I have a vitamin D deficiency. However, I spend a lot of time outdoors and I was already on a supplement. I asked my dr. if I should increase my dose, but he said just to keep on doing what I am doing. I feel like I should be taking more, but then again if I am not absorbing it, wouldn't it be...
