    Thank you all!!

    Hi guys, Okay, so this might be a bit of a paranoid cross-contamination question; judge as you may. My dad insists upon scrubbing the outside of the potatoes with the same scrub brush as we use for scrubbing pots, pans, and cleaning dishes. I'm thinking this may pose a cross-contamination issue because I do not live in a gluten-free household, therefore...

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone's had any success eating out or purchasing gluten-free products (from a grocery store)in Quebec City, or Old Quebec. We will be staying there and eating out around dinner time. We have heard of Lapin Saute, but it seems kind of pricy. Not sure if thats the norm or not. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Has anyone done the (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) test? How much more accurate is it than an IgA or IgG test?

    As for what I am eating, just regular run-of-the-mill gluten-free stuff, for example, fish, pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, corn, potatoes, gluten-free bread, crackers, a few cookies here and there , salad, nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, milk (LF) and other dairy products (LF with lactase enzyme). My GE thinks that the bloating/gas is...

    On thing that I did not mention when I first posted this that may/may not make a difference to your replies would be that around two months ago I began to take prevacid (acid reduction), which helped to get rid of most of the stomach/abdominal pain I was feeling every time after eating and throughout the day. However, as I mentioned before, the bloating persists...

    Could it really be corn/soy/eggs? I've definitely heard of it before, but how does one test for it? Do you have to be referred or something?

    Hi, I have been following very strictly (except for today... ) the gluten free diet. Every time I eat a meal, I get extremely bloated directly afterwards. I don't really have any idea what is causing it. This was happening before I was diagnosed as well. Until 2 months ago, and at the direction of my GE, I was dairy free. Now I am lactose-free, and...

    I am sorry to hear that! It definitely is a shock to find out you have to go gluten-free, and takes some adjustment. Perhaps you should see a doctor and get officially diagnosed to make sure. It probably seems absolutely overwhelming at first, but trust me, it will get better! However in the words of kwylee, don't let it control your life! I would certainly...

    Hi, I would definitely take the suggestion of cooking home-made meals. Much cheaper and less risk of CC - if you are eating out. Start with naturally gluten free foods...rice, quinoa, potatoes, plain meat, fruits and vegetables. I'm still new at this too, and it takes time to adjust!

    Hmm...Is it still possible to have this after 4-5 months? I was diagnosed in May of this year, and still I find myself eating things, while not necessarily being hungry...It's really strange for me to do this, because I have not in the past, and I kind of attributed it to stress or something.

    Thanks for the reply! My family hasn't bought a new barbecue since diagnosis, so there have definitely been some gluten-containing substances on it. Darn. Now that I think about it, it probably is contaminated - I just recently read a post about needing it to be 600 degrees Fahrenheit or something like that to kill the gluten protein. Can anyone confirm that...

    Hi, I'm sure many of us on here have eaten off of a barbecue...what I want to know is, is it safe for celiacs? Does anyone have a definite answer or suggestion? Thanks!

    Hi, yes you are definitely not alone! I am just going to take it one day at a time... I am looking for a local support group hopefully they can give me pointers:)

    Ahhh.... This is encouraging (in a very frustrating way) to hear. I have the same issues with someone in our family, and it is difficult. In fact, I think I'll go down now and see if I can "help" with dinner.

    Hey! I'm in Ontario, and was diagnosed in May-ish of this year... This disease seems to be growing by leaps and bounds...this will likely mean that it will improve for us celiacs , but really, what is the world coming to?! Anyone else have suggestions on how to handle "may contain" foods? (chocolate ). I'm still newly diagnosed, and my...

    Hi, I know there have been other posts about Ritter sport and milka chocolate bars, but mine is a bit different. Nobody's really mentioned (or so I couldn't find) the fact that they have may contain wheat on their packages. How would you address this? Are they just covering themselves liability-wise? Has anyone contacted them and asked, or do you have...
