    I do all the cleaning around here for everything. We all have normal allergies I just prefer to keep the place clean instead of popping tons of allergy pills. I don't have confirmed celiacs but a confirmed wheat allergy with celiacs symptoms so im completely gluten free. I don't think they've been using flours at all but could other things be getting...

    I've had roommates for the last two months for the first time since going gluten free and was doing good keeping the kitchen clean and feeling good until the second week of classes. We keep dishes and food separate. My silverware is in a microwave cart away from everything else. I move all dishes they leave in the sinks or counters to the dishwasher which...

    Hopefully I'll be able to get a hold of the different tests I've had done because I'd love an informed opinion on all of those! I'm gluten free to the point that I know that all my hygiene products are safe and I don't eat anything unless it says it's gluten free or I've spent a good amount of time googling anything I'm not sure about. And thankfully I...

    Typical twenties night life is overrated! It's the people you're with not what you're doing! At least that's how I personally feel, but not being able to participate in going out and eating or drinking with friends is a definite bummer. Especially when people stop asking you out because it's awkward being the only one not eating or drinking, so TV and video...

    Writing a speech about gluten/wheat/celiacs for class! Anyone know of any good articles/books that summarize up everything and the differences that's from an academic source?

    My wheat allergy is very different from my other allergies. Those bother me in the normal ways, sneezing, congestion, heacaches. With wheat I have none of those symptoms it's all gastrointestinal. The symptoms I suffered from wheat and while I was beginning to cut it out of my diet was weight loss, nausea, headaches, muscle and joint pains, constipation but...

    WELCOME! And the emotional and mental problems are definitely not all in your head! Any sort of malnourishment can be very bad for your mental and emotional well being! I thought I was crazy for a few months when starting to try to go gluten free. My anxiety and depression went through the roof and many times would pop out of nowhere. I'm pretty sure...

    i I'm not sure if it was required my freshman year or not but I was in the dorms then. I feel like it may have been lifted more recently because of the lack of campus housing, but please don't trust me on that! My sophomore year I got paid $1,000 and got my $300 back to cancel my dorm contract to make more room in the dorms because so far every year is the...

    Thank you! So far I've just confirmed a wheat and peanut allergy. Apparently the doctor I was seeing ran some sort of test for celiacs and that a few things were off but it wasn't terrible. I'd been away from all wheat and anything with gluten for about three months then. I'd ask the doctor what tests but he's rather useless and told me to keep eating...

    Columbia has a good number of stores to check out! I got to Clovers, Natural Grocers, and Hyvee for most of my food. Also the farmers markets in town are great and a lot of times can be cheaper that buying produce from the store! Is your son doing housing through campus? Personally I wouldn't recommend the dorms for someone who is going to have a difficult...

    Hello all! I've been creeping this forum for a year and a half now and finally decided to sign up yesterday after getting way too sick from drinking Malibu and cranberry juice at the bar the night before last. I'm tiny and not great with alcohol but I had a drink and threw up at least six times before I was able to head home. Yesterday was miserable sore...

    I had it really bad for a few months after starting to go gluten free! I'm 21 and was 20 at the time so it's obviously not menopause, and while it's not as bad anymore more I still think I'm having some. The AC in my apartment can be really funky sometimes so it may be that but I'll keep my AC below 70 degrees at night and I'm too skinny so I'm almost always...

    Nice! I didn't know about the living social or the military base! I think there's a military base somewhere close(ish) by and if it's ever on the way I'm going to take advantage of my military ID while I still can! Thank you! Also, whoever mentioned Aldis that is a good one! I get lots of chips, lunch meats by the pound, and meat sticks from there and...

    HI! I'm new too! I thought that after a year and a half I should start talking to people going through the same thing as I am!

    I would be extremely careful about that chinese food! If the cooks or owners don't speak good english I wouldn't trust them! (Not being racist there's just a huge language barrier there and sadly most Americans won't care or understand your problem even if they speak perfect english) There are so many ways that you could get cross contamination even it everything...
