Hey guys, I have had a rash near my groin for years now. My doctors have never been able to put a finger on it (some calling it psoriasis, and others calling it eczema). I just recently read up about DH and I am wondering if that is maybe what I have. I am going to look more in depth into this, and post some pictures later (PG rated of course). My question...

I cant say that I have noticed a HUGE difference, but I have noticed that my emotions are.. "amplified". For instance, I was at a concert last week and a guy went up on stage and proposed to his girlfriend. Normally I would say hey good for you, etc. but I actually found myself tearing up! So crazy. On the negative side of it though, I find if I am...

Hey everybody, I thought I would share this little gem with everybody. It is called Il Fornello in Toronto. It is an italian restaurant that offers gluten-free pasta and pizza options. Some of the locations also allow you to buy pre-made doughs that you can take home to construct your own masterpiece. Give their menus a browse and check out where...

This post is super helpful! I love milestones, and my parents love it too, and after recently going back to the gluten-free diet, I cant wait to give this a shot. Thanks a million, KM

I see you have received a lot of tips on what to send in the lunches, but as a teenager maybe I can lend some insight into the whole "cool kid" ideology. Sure, maybe the cool kids dont bring their lunches, but why not question that socially constructed idea? ie) You know what is cooler than not bringing a lunch to school? Bringing healthy lunches, and...

Hey there! I am in a very similar boat actually. When I was around 10 years old, I was diagnosed with Celiac, and had ridiculous stomach pain and other symptoms. I never really felt a huge change with the gluten-free diet, and when I asked to be re-tested, I started eating gluten again. I never had symptoms since then, and to this day I dont have them...

I noticed this too actually! Unfortunately I smoked cigarettes which make me less hungry, but when I havent smoked for a few days, I find I am always hungry. I think it may just be a way that your body is telling you that it is happy to finally be getting good food! It would make sense after years of damage to your digestive track, that once it starts...

I agree, the safest thing you can do in this situation is see a doctor. I am not going to lie, but even when the slightest thing is bothering me, I take the time to go and see a doctor. I am not sure if this is more difficult in the US because of the private system, but I think in this situation, money shouldnt be an issue any ways. Not to mention,...

I would love to be able to give you some "solid names" of doctors who are accepting new patients but unfortunately I just seek the advice of my endocrinologist usually. I would think that your best bet is to search for 5 or 10 family health clinics in your area and call them to find out if any of their female doctors are accepting new people. Hopefully...

Thanks so much for the replies (again). I am going to go through my stuff and decide what I need to replace and what I can clean. A lot of the stuff you guys mentioned I have already got rid of, but a few of those things are definitely going to have to go. I never even though that gluten could be lurking basically anywhere that I have cooked in the...

I agree with the comments about dealing with it in your own way, but I also agree with the comments that suggest getting out and trying new things. In my own experiences, I have found that the only thing I obsess over is googling whether certain foods are gluten free or not. I guess I find it interesting seeing what I can and cant eat even if I am not...

Hi again everybody, I have some more questions but I figure if I tackle them individually and work on each thing over time. My next question is do I NEED to re-equip my kitchen or is there a simpler way to clean my stuff so that I can continue to use it? On another thread, I was told that white vinegar is good for counters, but would that work for my...

Thank you so much everybody! I feel bad just coming here and having my first post be asking for advice I felt bad, but i really appreciate the input. Awesome idea for a forum right here.

Hey guys, I have had celiac for a while now and unfortunately I knew this but never really paid too much attention to it. Recently I randomly decided to pursue the gluten free diet again and so far so good. I feel better but there are many more steps that I want to do to ensure smooth sailing from here on out. I am going to get a new toaster, and clean...
