    When I get gluttened, I always take two charcoal capsules, which you can get near the Pepto. I also take some Nyquil for sinus issues, and lay down with a wet cloth over my eyes. This whole method seems to help me greatly. Usually after that, it just takes 3 or so days before I am fine again. Beware though, charcoal capsules will turn your feces black...

    Thanks for the info! I am from Iowa City, and we have found few places I can eat at around here, besides Godfather's Pizza and Mama's Deli in Downtown Iowa City. I would definitely be will to drive to Cedar Rapids to try something new. What sort of food do they serve?

    I am Celiac and my husband has been going on and off of my diet. He has anemia and keratosis pilaris, extreme fatigue, lots of GI issues, and is very irritable. His father also has really severe joint issues and diabetes. Other children in our family appear to have gluten allergy or Celiac symptoms, but none of them feel it is severe enough to visit a...

    Good Luck! I am just finishing my first month of being gluten free. The first week or two was rough for me. I had a lot more energy and no headaches, but I still had some GI symptoms. It was easy for me to feel discouraged that my symptoms did not magically vanish. I also kept thinking I had glutened myself in the first week, but my stomach was still...

    I just wanted to relay that I had a really good experience with Godfather's Pizza. I found it using a registry in my area, and then visited the website beforehand. Their management has all attended Celiac Awareness training, and all of their gluten free pizzas as prepared at a dedicated facility and shipped to the store. They were very nice about it...

    Great! I have read all these horror stories about getting glutened when eating out, so it is nice to hear something good. I also went out this week had a gluten free pizza at Godfather's Pizza. Tiny, but very good.

    Sorry, I just posted a blank reply...still a newb. I am really liking Zevia, I think the grape is the best. I also have been drinking Hansen's. I got lucky, and quite a few places carry Zevia around here. I was even able to get a couple of packs for 3 bucks on sale this week. I did see the Izzes, but I wasn't sure whether or not they were good. ...

    Thanks! That's a really good idea. I also stopped and got some Zevia and some Hansen's. I like the Hansen's, but it has a lot of sugar. The Zevia was really great. It doesn't taste too much like soda, but I think I might actually prefer the tase. I really like the soda streamer idea, where did you get it at? It would probably be cheaper in the long...

    OK! Thanks everyone! I don't plan on drinking soda forever, because I do know it's not good, I really just wanted to have something similar gradually step down. I have tried Natural Blue before, and I really liked it, and I will look for Zevia too. I think in a few weeks, I will try making my own. I think the carbonation is something I really like, and...

    Well, as a rule, as long as they do not add certain seasonings to fish, it is fine. If you like fish, there were lots of options on the menu. You would basically just need to ask them not to season it with anything but salt or pepper, and just serve it to you with some butter sauce. Steaks and Veggies are the same. As long as it is not seasoned and doesn...

    Hi! I am still newly gluten free, and I was wanting to get an opinion about beverages. I am a big Diet Coke drinker, and I am trying to to switch to something else, as I seem to not be able to tolerate citric acid, and I also do not want to drink or ingest artificial sweeteners. However, I am having a hard time, because I love soda. I know that water...

    Hi, I am in my second week of going gluten free. I also eat this brand of refried beans, and haven't had any kind of reaction. I have, however, had reactions to anything with citric acid. I'm with the other people, it may be a different ingredient causing the issue. I heard a lot of people can't tolerate dairy at first, so if you put cheese in the beans...

    Interesting...I am half Native American, half Irish. I was born with back hair, but turned brown with red tinting when I was a teenager.

    Yeah, I will have to think about it. I guess I am just dreading the doctor because for the past two or three years, I have been visiting doctors who will not listen to me. This last one was the worst. I told him all of my symptoms and he said, " It doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of, I think you are just borrowing trouble. You just have a...

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. It has been a few more days, and I feel even better. Since I have not other issues that are really serious, other than PCOS, at this point, I'm not sure if I want to even go to the doctor. My main reason I thought I needed to go were my frequent headaches, which are now gone. I have also been reading about people...

    Hi, my name is Jessica, and I am in need of advice, if anyone has the time. I have been ill on and off since I was a child. I am adopted, so I have no medical background on my parents. My mom says that as a baby, I had colic, and had to be fed soy milk. I was also a fairly irritable child, and went to the doctor many times with constipation for weeks...
