Thank you all again! This is very validating! Yesterday I was driving to my sister-in-laws and I missed the turn I usually take and my husband was asking me where I was going. Then I didn't recognize another street I'd been on several times. It was so odd. I'm thinking it could be lingering effects since it was only 5 days later... My digestive tract is definitely...

Thanks. I had a mild headache all day yesterday and generally felt "off" the whole day. I had another bout of D this AM, though, while nothing yesterday. <ETA: I had really bad stomach pains for a little while last night, too.> Now I'm wondering if it could still be gluten-my thought is yes, but my husband is doubtful...

Hi! It's been a long time since I posted and even then, I only posted a couple of times, but I'm hoping someone can tell me if it's possible to react to gluten so quickly. I went to dinner with family tonight, I had a filet mignon (no marinade), a baked sweet potato (no butter/toppings) and a glass of water. When we walked outside to leave, I could feel the...

It's a local place, not a chain. I will call and ask. What about places like Outback Steakhouse? Do they follow some protocols? Is that gov't mandated to claim it's gluten-free?

Hello, All. I am a 34 year old mother to 4 children. I have had joint and muscular pains since about 7 or 8 years old. I have also had chronic constipation since around the same time. Never to the point where I couldn't go at all, but I'll go up to 5 days without a BM (I honestly think I've been so accustomed to it that the bloating doesn't bother me. I...

Isn't there a high CC risk with gluten-free pizza from a pizza place? Our family favorite pizza place offers gluten-free pizza, but I'm nervous about even trying it. Part of me thinks I probably don't even need to worry about CC, but then again, I never realized I had damage to my small intestines until it was found, so why chance doing more damage? Anyway...

Thank you for this post. I can't imagine having to give up Hershey's!!! I got nervous thinking maybe I'd been eating them when I shouldn't have

Thank you so much for the advice... I should elaborate. i had a colonoscopy/endoscopy done. I was actually having the endo to look for possible ulcers (which I have none) and my GI found the damage in my small intestines that is consistant with celiac. He actually said if I had the antibodies in my bloodwork then he'd have diagnosed me immediately. Since...

I was just thinking of starting a thread about the best commercial breads out there. I found this thread very helpful. I have only been gluten-free for about a week. I don't remember the brands, but years ago, my son had a wheat allergy so I bought 1 each of rice and corn pasta, but the corn pasta was slimy. The rice pasta became one giant mass of i don...

Hi, All. I am new to everything gluten free. I have to see a specialist in order to even be diagnosed, but my gastroenterologist said I should try going gluten free in the meantime to see if my symptoms improve. I have been pretty strict for a week now, but now I'm ready to start making my own breads/cakes, etc... I know there are many commercial mixes...
