    For the first time since going gluten free about three years ago, I am living with a roommate who often eats bread (sandwiches, toast, pizza, etc). It has been really difficult but I didn't want to say no to the living situation when I know other celiacs live with gluten eating roommies. Through trial and error we have now started using seperate sponges...

    Just wanted to let everyone know that I called Simple Truth today (products of Kroger) and they said that all of their herbal supplements are gluten free

    Oooh, I was just informed of Amazon's magical toilet paper delivery! I will definitely look at what kinds of foods I can buy as well. Thanks!!

    I wasn't sure exactly which topic to post this under, but since our diet is really our only form of "treatment" I figured here would be fine. I am 26yrs old and have been struggling to eat a healthy and healing gluten-free diet for about three years. I still fail. Reading some other posts I saw people doing something similar to me: eating bad (but gluten...

    Geez, this forum never fails to scare me straight. I'm in my twenties and get lazy when I drink. I kiss boys who have been drinking beer or eat fries that may or may not have been contaminated in the oil vat. Drinking in general and ignoring the fact that I react worse to alcohol than normal people even though the distillation process kills gluten......

    Is that frustrating for you? I feel like if I am asymptomatic then it will be harder to know if I am eating properly, and harder to explain to people why I have to be so freakishly strict about avoiding gluten...

    I'm sure most people were sleeping, I was just freaking out... Thanks for your support!

    Pretty disappointed to not have any feedback on this. Though I have an update: I have not had any symptoms yet. This is almost more disconcerting than what I was afraid of going through. I have spent the last 2.5 years avoiding even the most microscopic amounts of gluten like it is the plague. And last night I ate it. I had a chunk of pice crust in my mouth...

    I have been gluten free post dx for 29 months. In this time I have had some weird instances of vomiting, mostly after making poor food choices while drinking, but I can never quite say what the culprit was. It would always be a cross contamination issue because I NEVER straight up eat gluten. But tonight I was eating pumpkin talenti ice cream with my...

    The weird thing is that I am not C. I drink my cup of black tea in the morning and everything moves alone fine. Could it be a lactose issue? I feel like I may be a bit heavy on the dairy these days. I don't have money to buy anything else since I already spent $5 on fancy tea I probably can't drink and I am unemployed :/

    Yes, they are Bob's Redmill certified gluten-free oats. I eliminated oats from my diet the first 6 months after my dx, then reintroduced them and had no problems.

    I have been feeling bloated for about two weeks. I have the slightly protruding tummy that feels tight after I eat even a little meal. My sisters and my Mom (who have tested negative for celiac) drink Smooth Move tea when they feel this way, so I bought some. I know the tea is gluten-free but now I am reading that stimulant laxatives an cause cramping and...

    I met the brew masters wife. She has been drinking the beer since he started making it about 10 years ago. She is a celiac, and she has had multiple biopsies to confirm that her intestines are healthy. I have never had a problem drinking it. Sorry you didn't feel well, I know most celiacs are afraid of the stuff.

    Thanks! If anyone is curious, I found Open Original Shared Link on their site.

    I have been dealing with anxiety and it is still hard to tell if it is a symptom of my celiac or not. It comes and goes, and to be honest, I eat out a lot. Usually tacos with corn tortillas and that is it, but sometimes I will have a gluten-free option offered from a kitchen that cannot say there won't be any cross contamination. Maybe I should be extra obnoxiously...

    I am approaching my 2 year gluten-free anniversary (Woot!) and I also have health insurance for the first time since then (Double Woot!). I haven't really had a chance to do anything to follow up since I had my endoscopy and biopsy, other than getting my mineral levels tested last year and I was told I wasn't deficient in anything. Is there anything...

    I know many people have mentioned a neurological connection to their celiac. I am wondering about a few things: A recent spike in my anxiety, the connection between gut inflammation and anxiety, and how much probiotic one should take. I have had anxiety since high school, but it had always been manageable with the right exercise and work load. But since...

    You know how many celiacs are tired all of the time? It makes performing well at school or work very difficult. Even when I eat as healthy as I can and take my supplements I still have issues falling asleep or not being able to focus. So in college when a friend I trusted gave me adderall, I gave it a shot. I would take 10-20mg to study during finals...

    Haha! Who knows. Thank you, I WILL! Oh, thank goodness. I'm glad you've looked into it! Good, that is what I had thought before this craziness! Thank you all, I feel very much relieved

    I've already written here about oats a few times because I am desperate to reintroduce them into my diet, but I am being strong and sticking with the one year elimination plan. But now that I've swallowed that pill, I just learned at a GIG meeting that people can be as cross reactive to coffee, dairy and yeast as they are to oats! They all have proteins that...

    I am dealing with the same adjustment. I've been gluten-free since May and only in the last few months started having issues with drinking. If I have three, I black out. It's embarrassing to admit this has happened more than once, but I used to be able to put 'em down and now two is almost over doing it. Just be sure to listen to what your body says!

    I am 24 and living at home with my Mom, younger sister and her 1 year old son. This situation is to save me money (since getting dx'd with celiac prevented me from attending grad school by myself in NY). They are mostly awesome about my diet, keeping my nephew on a gluten-free diet so that I can pick him up and help take care of him. But sometimes... they...

    A little over a month ago I got my ttg levels retested and found out that in just 3 months of a gluten-free diet I was at 22! And so I became rather lax with my eating habits... Ok, I just glossed over the heated posts on that "cheating" topic and now I am a bit terrified. I havent straight up eaten gluten or anything, but I've been dating a guy who owns...

    I am extremely happy to say that I have been gluten-free for a little over 4 months and I've reduced my tTG levels from >200 to 22. Twenty-two!! I also got my vitamins and minerals tested and the only thing I was deficient in was vitamin D (I live in Oregon, so no surprise there). I've been very strict with my diet for the last two months and cut out...

    I am trying to find a roommate but it is quite difficult. My dear girlfriend is interested in finding a place with me, but she works at a bakery. She has told me that when she gets off from work her nostrils are full of flour. Do you think it is possible to cohabitate with someone who works in that kind of glutenous environment? If so, what level of precaution...
