    Sounds like a lot of us have very similar stories! I was diagnosed with celiac and then hashimoto's a few months later. Once I started synthroid I started getting AWFUL joint pain. My doctor was suspecting rhumatoid arithritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, ect. He switched me to Armour and took a lot of blood tests. Once my armour dose was correct the pain pretty...

    Thank you for all the reassurance! I've been sitting here today feeling like I was a jerk. I tried to explain why it was an issue and the possibility of contamination and I had about 6 people looking at me wide eyed and like I was crazy. The sign on the door is a great idea; I had not thought of doing that. Just like your keyboard Adalaide I was having...

    We had a group of people over to watch football yesterday. They know about my wheat/gluten allergy and were told that they didn't need to bring any food or drinks and we would provide everything (Our house is 100% gluten free since I'm UBER sensitive. We've even switched our dogs/cats food and got rid of kitchen stuff that could have been contaminated when...

    I use a L-Glutamine powder as well. I don't take it as often as I should but if I suspect I've been glutened I'll take it.

    Thanks for all the tips! I wish I could drive because I would have a cooler packed with food. The problem I'm having is that I fly and haven't been checking a bag. I guess I could start checking a cooler with my food for the week in it then just make sure the hotels have a fridge. The tip about needing a fridge for medicine is great! I just got back...

    When my stomach is bloated I wear dresses too! I can't stand to have a pair of pants buttoned over my belly; makes it feel so much worse! At home I like my baggy sweat pants. I have 1 pair that is comfortable and I can't find them any more.

    It seems like my whole life revolves around food. Meetings are always planned around breakfast or lunch. I either don't eat or bring my own food. I am traveling a lot for work too so that invovles a lot of planning. We are having a lunch meeting today and they initially let me pick the place so I picked a restaurant that I know I have a lot of safe choices...

    You've found a great place for advice! I do not post often but I spend a good bit of time reading through the posts. There is so much information. I am glad to hear of your support for your Beloved. My boyfriend has been beyond supportive when we found out about my diagnosis 5 months ago. He suggested when we moved to our new house about 2 months post...

    I just want to chime in and say you're doing a great job! I'm nearly 30 and my parents tell stories about how sick I was as a child yet they never found out what was wrong with me. It's just in the last 6 months I've been diagnosed! Sounds like your kiddo is feeling better and I hope he continues to get better!

    I'm actually from Loveland but living in Houston right now. I had no idea all those bakeries were from Colorado. It's intersting that Denver has a higher rate of Celiac too; wonder why? Maybe more doctors diagonosing?

    Thank you so much! I am still trying to wrap my head around why there is gluten/food starch in a lot of things that I was eating! I don't love the tast of the artificial sweeteners either but I don't like all the calories from regular pop. Luckily I can handle some of the artificial sweetners though others do give me stomach issues and headaches. I'm...

    I bought a bottle of Diet Sunkist Orange pop and noticed that modified food starch is in the ingredients. I have been avoiding anything that says modified food starch because I really still don't understand if it's gluten free or not. I'd rather be on the safe side. I did take a drink of it so I hope it is gluten free because my reactions from being glutened...

    So it sounds like I'm pretty "normal" so far, lol!

    1: Yes 2: Yes. After college (and being the sickest I have ever been) I moved to a small mountain town. I started dieting and lost 80 pounds and was only eating meat, veggies, and fruits. I realized that I felt amazing and continuted to eat that way. When I moved to Houston everyone always wanted to go out and I slowly got sicker and sicker until diagnosis...

    I'm recent to the world of gluten free (it's been about 5-6 weeks). Keeping my weight down has been a bit of a struggle and after this last round of being sick/major life changes I've put on about 15 pounds. Right now I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around all the things that I can not eat ever again. In doing this I'm eating way more gluten free...

    I'm another one that has probably had it my whole life. My parents tell stories of me being 5 or 6 years old and in the bathroom all night long. I remember my dad giving me pepto to settle my stomach all the time too. He's always told me (and still thinks) that it's all in my head because I stress and worry about everything and that's why I have the bathroom...

    They did do the bloodwork and it came back negative. I went gluten free right after my endoscopy/coloscopy because I figured that was as clean as my guts will get! I get the results back from my biopsies this Thursday. Thanks for the advice on the cupboards; I didn't even think about that! The High Park fire is awful. I grew up in the Loveland/Fort...

    This looks like the place to introduce myself before I start posting all over the place and people are wondering who I am. My name is Amanda, 28, currently living in Houston, Texas. I do environmental work in the gas and oil industry. I got my undergrad in watershed science at colorado state and along with working full time I am getting my Masters at Texas...
