    These hypothetical questions are always hard to answer, but a similar thing happened to me once. I was at a gym when my workout partner offered me $10,000 to dive off the olympic high diving board - 90 feet high. I agonized about it but said no. I agonized about it because I knew he was serious and I saw him put the cash into his locker when we changed...

    I had nosebleeds come upon me suddenly. It was the last straw that sent me to another doctor and to a diagnosis of celiac. Since then i've been supplimenting my gluten free diet with copious sprinkling of parsley (vit k). The nose bleeds went away within a month and haven't come back. Hope yours are as easily resolved.

    Dad's BBQ sauce - comes in a reddish bag, made from Peace River clover honey. I won't be without it.

    Count me in too. Had serious low back pain, more so on the right side. Eating bananas and taking magnesium (500 mg) really helped.

    I used to take Costco's brand "Kirkland", it's actually a pretty complete formula and very cost effecitve - even says gluten free on the bottle. Right now my naturopath has me on something stronger, a powder form multivitamin called AOR Essential Mix, Blackberry Flavour. This should be available in any vitamin or good health food store. When I went...

    The P.C. basmati rice is the best rice I've ever had. It always comes out perfect (unlike any of the box types I've tried - uncle bens, minute ...) and for an "aromatic" rice the smell is actually agreeable - smells a bit like popcorn. Also, the big bag (I think it's 5 kilo) is dirt cheap too. Only downside is the zipper on the bag never works so we just...

    Safeway select brand enteric coated 500mg is what I found. You'll know it's the right one if the pills are bright orange.

    I've heard the "vaccine" needs to be taken in weekly injections. That might be useful when eating out on vacation in a new city, but other than that, I agree - too many risks with new meds these days. I would even wait 2 or 3 years to see what recalls there are before trying it on vacation.

    Last week i was grocery shopping and in my usual label checking routine i was shocked to see the refill bag of coffeemate now says "may contain soy and wheat". I checked the web page and it said coffeemate is gluten-free but after seeing this post and that the FDA has yet to set standards, now I'm not convinced coffeemate is gluten-free anymore.

    My little piece of advice is to start with walking. I understand you've tried it and it raised your heart rate but consider this: you can walk at whatever pace works for you and you can "pull over" and take a rest whenever - as many times as you want. It requires no equipment, no training and you don't have to spend any money joining a gym or a club or...

    I bought some of this ... the back of the package says: Ingredients: organic cha, hulled hemp hearts, organic buckwheat, organic cranberries, orgranic rasins, apple bits, organic cinamon. Mix 2 tablespoons with 4 tablespoons of almond, soy or hemp milk or milk or sprinkle 1 tablespoon on yogurt, oatmeal or granola. Stir, wait 3-4 minutes ... enjoy!...

    Perhaps you have a problem with the sugar substitutes in the diet foods. Apparently its a very common and very unknown problem. Check out the information in this link - you might be very surprised how things like sorbitol can cause bloating and bathroom issues that mimick Celiac gastric symptoms. http://www.cspinet.org/foodsafety/labeling_sorbitol.html

    Hello Juliette, I'm afraid I can't offer much advice on how long it takes to feel better, I've only been gluten-free for about a month myself and I'm still having my own challenges. What I can offer is some help with your graduation, having crossed the stage a few times myself. First, congratulations! Welcome to the post-grad world. Now some advice...

    I have 2 Keurig machines - one at home and one at work. The little black "cup" that you drop the K-cup into comes out for cleaning. To get it out you have to stick one finger up where the coffee drips out and give a little push - the black "cup" will pop up and you can take it over to a sink and give it a rinse. If you need to really wash it I suggest...
