    I think most everyone will be coming from the Kansas direction rather than Missouri. My sister-in-law works in Wichita and I think some of the guests might have to drive through there. -H

    Oh my goodness! Thanks so much for all the tips! I'll have to do some sampling when I'm in Kansas City!

    Hi all, It's been quite some time since I've posted here, but I'm needing a little bit of help. I'm getting married and therefore need a gluten free wedding cake. The problem is I'm getting married in a city (Kansas City) I have never lived in, so I'm not sure where to start hunting for a gluten free cake. Any suggestions would be very, very much appreciated...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    The disease and the diet can definitely make you feel like a 'freak' sometimes. Especially in the beginning when you still are feeling crummy most of the time and getting used to the diet. It all seems so overwhelming, that the additional struggle of trying to fit in and give an explanation for yourself can be burdensome. I found out only a few months before...

    I'm so happy I found this thread!! I switched back to being a vegetarian last summer and have been taking supplements. I thought I was feeling crappy because my stomach wasn't used to them or something. No...glutamine peptide is the culprit. Thanks for the tips on the muscle milk and EAS...I'm switching over.

    I like to simplify it by saying gluten is a protein in some grains that my immune system recognizes as poison. Once that response is triggered, my body can't tell the difference between the grain it meant to attack and my healthy cells, so I pretty much self distruct. That covers everything in my opinion without getting too gross about the details.

    I defintely think the big C makes me a huge grump. I was just going to add that as long as I stay off of gluten, magnesium oxide is the best cure in the world. It won't cause the misery that other 'solutions' will. I swear by it.

    Hello there, I'm 25 and in school, too. The gluten-free diet can be a little expensive and inconveinent for the college budget, but it is a good bit healthier than the average college-age cuisine. Those Thai Kitchen rice noodle soups are cheap and a gluten-free form (and tastier, too IMHO) of ramien. So, you can be cooking your $1 noodles with everyone...

    I have to echo what almost everyone else has said. My period went from wacky (a.k.a non existent) to normal or me. It's pretty much hit around the 25 day mark....until yesterday. It came back after only a week. It's spotty now, but still I'm a little concerned. I was glutened about a week and a half ago, could this have something to do with it or should...

    Lisa, You're not too far from me! I go to Cranbrook Art Academy, so I'm over here in Bloomfield Hills. There's actually another girl here who has Celiac's, too. The food fair is from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at The First Presbyterian Church of Farmington (26165 Farmington Road, Farmington Hills). I hope you can make it. Heather PS. If you're ever...

    Hi Lisa, I'm a college student in MI, too. It's a big adjustment going gluten free, and it definitely is something that a lot of other people will find strange. However, I've found that my friends at school are really supportive. If you're going to school in Southeast MI anwhere, there is a gluten free food fair in one of the suburbs just west of Detroit...

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my boyfriend and his entire family. Without them and their support, I don't know what I would do. My boyfriend is the most patient, level-headed, generous guy around, and his family has more or less taken me in and made me one of them. Even though I am in grad school and live 800 miles away now, his mom, brother, and grandmother all...

    I'm finally feeling pretty good again, so I can take most of these things with a grain of salt, but it doesn't hurt to vent a litlle here: I hate when my department head tells me he understands my restricted diet because he's a vegetarian and I can't bless him out because he's my department head. I hate that immediately after this he tells me we're...

    Hi Rach, I lived in Florence for about a year, that was before my dx, so I can't speak to how friendly or educated the italians are about Celiac Disease. If you're going to be there for 3 months, my guess is you're not going to want to be eating out all the time. There is an incredible two story market where you can get any fresh food you want from fruits...

    Hi Laura, Could you post that information maybe or send it to me, too. There's another girl here at school who is Celiac, so I'm sure she and I both would want to go. I had no idea there was a food fair so close either!! Thanks, Heather

    Hi Lisa, I think all of us can identify with the feeling that there is no way we are going to be able to continue with what we were doing before. I was still throwing up 4 months after I was diagnosed and had just started grad school. My family is not very supportive either, until recently. It has been about nine months now, and I have finally started...

    I'm originally from Georgia, but I am going to grad school at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills. Diagnosed about nine months ago and starting to feel like a real person again.
  19. printmaker81
    Hello all, I was diagnosed about six months ago, and I found that my family and friends had a really hard time understanding the disease because I am still quite sick, still on a lot of medication, still dealing with how illness affects one's everday life. However, in September I moved to Michigan (from Georgia) to go to grad school and gained a whole...

    I have been taking Genesis Today's 4 Total Nutrition liquid vitamins. It's tastes awful but I would swear by it. I get mine at Whole Foods,

    Can I just say that this thread popped up with perfect timing for me? I just started grad school a little over a month ago and have been feeling like a freak because I wake up in the morning and feel like I am trying to drag myself out of the cript. Everyone here is in the studio until the middle of the night, and here's little me dragging my aching bones...

    There is a little bit of a debate about the whole distilled grains thing as to whether or not they are safe. Some people say yes others say no; I think you realy have to figure out what's right for your body. I know I feel like I got hit by a truck if I take a sip of something derived from grains, so I stick to my martinis (sometimes a good dirty martini...

    I can definitely relate to all of these commments. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago, and just started a really rigorous graduate program. I still am not feeling very well from the disease, so I constantly feel like I am behind everone else because I have to leave the studio early due to fatigue/nausea/body pain. It's definitely a little alienating to...

    I'm wondering if maybe it's not just the grains in the new breads but the other ingredients. Do you use milk and eggs in your breads? Either of these could possibly be making your stomach hurt. I had the same reaction to new breads, gas and cramps. A few weeks ago, I made just an omlet and had the same reaction as I was having to the breads. Now I make...

    The same thing happened to me; the crazy thing is how nuts a thing like wheat bread can make you!! Now that I am gluten-free, I am more stable than ever except when I get glutened. Last week the ever so helpful clerk at the healthfood store assured me some liquid vitamins were safe....hmm read barely leaves in the ingeredients two days later. Shame...
