looking for info

Hello, I hope someone can help answer a few questions for me. This is my first child and I've known I have celiac for over a year. My concern is with the epidural if I decide to have one I hear they can or do contain gluten. If they do would I have any reaction from having one. I'm super reactive to gluten to the point I've had to change everything...

aww...thank you...ill be trying to find some Biosil this weekend.. Hugs....

I'm sorry Jess...Wish I could give you some tips or information to help or ease the stress...

I appreciate the understand I sometimes feel like i complain to much on here..I've only been on here since dec and it seems like all I have is a lot of questions and frustration to deal with..

Too bad I didn't know about that conference...It sounds like just the thing that I've been looking for..Honestly I didn't even know about the GIG until just now..or even thought about looking at meetup.com....both of these options might be just the thing I've been looking for..I'm kinda new to Celiac so I really don't know too much...Ill certainly look into...

I did try a gluten free cooking class once but found it difficult to relate...maybe I should try it again cause that was back when I was first diagnosed and I had no clue what I was doing...well even more so then now...Whole Foods has certainly become one of my favorite places to shop that and the Mississippi Market...love the fact that they have a listing...

I'm soo happy for you...It's wonderful and give me hope that the hair loss will stop and heal...I've been worried for some time that the hair loss was permanent ...I had really thick long hair and now (like others) it seems to be thinning and falling out...Congrats...its always nice to hear the possitives ...thank you for sharing

I really haven't tried that but it gives me a new approach to finding people...I'll give it a try next time I'm out ...thank you for the suggestion...i guess I have to get out of my comfort zone sometimes...

I can't begin to explain how frustrated I am today....again another failure....to me there seems to be a lack in resources here in MN when it comes to group settings or support groups. They only meet once a month and I've only been able to make it to 1 out of 3 that I knew of. Today being no exception to me missing it..due to me being directionally challenged...

Are all wines gluten free? I found out the hard way not all rum is gluten free

I'm finding time and time again I keep getting into situations where I feel lost and confused...I have someone in my life that is very supportive but every time we go out either to a bar or out to a restaurant there seems to be tension and frustration that leads to some type of argument. I never seem to know what i can order while out...i hate the fact that...

Hearing this really helps to make me feel better....Ive never been the emotional type...well nothing to much out of the norm...but since going gluten free I find myself having extreme up's and down's....the crying fits the getting sometimes even angry over what normally wouldn't bother me..its almost like my gluten-free diet has made me a emotional mess....

Thank you for the info....ive been looking for new shampoos at decent prices...

I just really wanted to thank everyone for expressing there stories with me....I feel horrible I wasn't able to respond sooner but due to the holidays it was difficult to get back to the computer....It makes me feel not soo alone with such a response from everyone. Its nice to hear how its normal to have fits of feeling out of control....the sad moments...

I'm kinda new to the whole gluten-free living...I find myself having good days and bad days....sadly today is a bad day for me...I'm not talking about any type of reaction to eating gluten. I'm just talking about the whole overwhelming feeling that comes from being celiac.I'm not understanding why things just seem to be getting more difficult when it comes...
