About Me
I've had stomach issues for over 15 years. Doctors thought it was IBS but it never seemed to get better. In October 2010 I started doing more research on-line and stumbled onto Celiac Disease info. After doing a lot of research; I concluded going Gluten-Free would be best.
I've had 2 blood tests that have come back negative as I already had stopped eating gluten. Found out that one of my aunts have Celiac Disease. When my Doctor found this out, he said since eating gluten-free has helped me so much AND my aunt had it, he was 90% sure I have it and won't do a biopsy. So here I am!

ARCHIVED Packaging/labelling Issues!

That's good to know that they aren't REQUIRED to put it on, HOWEVER why do they put SELECTIVE ones on? I ended up contacting the company and am waiting to see what they say...it could have been CC on the factory line too! -

I'm not going to say where I bought this chocolate or the kind, but if on the outer box list of ingredients differ from the smaller ones inside it (warehouse packaging)is that an issue? I got glutened because the outer box listed: Sugar, unsweetened chocolate, glucose, cocoa butter, butter oil, soya lecithin, natural and artificial flavour, citric acid... -

I plan on having a FULL gluten-free meal! This way she can see that there is lots of foods, just different ways to prepare it that would make it safe for me! I also can't eat potatoes so they'll have to go through one meal without them! -

Yes, I have a few times, maybe I should do it again for awhile so they understand more! -

I haven't been on the boards too long and was wondering how a person's "reputation" gets higher? Do people vote? Is it how many posts you do?

Thanks, it IS hard to deal with family like this and am so glad that I found this site for the support I need! I agree with you guys that people just don't get it! They think it is a lifestyle choice not one that your body has made for you! No, I'm not doing this to lose weight (though it doesn't hurt!), no I'm not doing this to make your life difficult... -
I'm heading to beautiful Vancouver BC, Canada later this week and wonders if anyone knows of some good gluten-free restaurants there? Any ideas would be super helpful!

I have brought my own food...ONCE...I might-as-well of committed murder from the looks I got, sigh! Hubby has tried to talk to her but she is older (same age as my grandma) and forgets to read labels! I think I might just start bringing my own food as it IS better than getting glutened because "I can just scrape the coating off the chicken", NO I CAN'T!!... -
