    Hey - lisawil - where in Cali are you going to be? We have Whole Foods stores all over here and Trader Joe's also has some good stuff. Thier gluten-free sausage is tasty! The Bay area and San Diego also have alot of health food stores that carry good gluten-free stuff. I wouldn't worry about finding food in California. I don't know about online stores yet...

    I'm related to about half of County Cork. My mom's side of the family lost thier O' somewhere in the Atlantic, then my mom went and married an O'Connor and got it back again. The other thing I was thinking about, was that I grew up in Hawaii, and grew up eating mostly rice. I didn't get into grains until I started South Beach to be more healthy, then started...

    Could anyone else that's got that list email it to me? My cousin is coming into town this weekend and I want to take her out for her birthday but I'm not ready for restaurants that I don't have a menu for yet. Thanks Elonwy

    Irish ( mostly) /English/French/Native American. Red hair, green eyes, freckles and I'm 5'1" and 3/8". My mom probably has it, most of my cousins show symptoms and my grandfather and grandmother on my mom's side had "weak stomachs". Hmmmm. Wonder what that was. Elonwy

    I have worked in Film and TV for ten years. When a company shoots a movie or a TV show, in order to get insurance for the project the actors must have regular physicals. People with any chronic disorders, especially something like celiac, which can cause them to lose shooting days, are considered to be high-risk and either a show will not get bonded or the...

    We had a picnic on the grass for lunch ( he works on campus sometimes), and managed to talk about everything but celiac disease. I think part of it is he's frustrated that he can't fix me, or make me feel better. He wants to help, and I'm showing him how to read labels, but theres alot of stuff to remember, and I think every now and then he just needs a break...

    Many plants sprout from seeds. Actually anything that grows from a seed can be sprouted. When something has been "sprouted" its usaully grown on a gel or spoungelike substance instead of dirt to make it clean. The problem I see with Sprouted wheat is, its basically immature wheat plants. For people that don't have gluten problems, its healthier because it...

    I get a really wierd reaction to MSG where if I eat it I have horrible nightmares. Kind of like when you eat something spicy late at night, you have wierd dreams. I then wake up the next day I'm all discombobulated and groggy. Anything that does something that weird can't possibly be good for you. Elonwy

    All I talk about is celiac disease. It's all I'm thinking about. I've been talking non-stop about it for weeks, and it's driving everyone crazy. I just don't know how to stop. My bf turned to me in the car today and said " is it ok if we talk about something else for a little while". He said it really nicely too ( he's a really sweet guy, he's been buying...

    Yeah, I went over to the salad bar about an hour ago. They also have a Wok Crazy ( fill your bowl then they wok it for you). There were crumbs and noodles and what-have-you everywhere! Just looking at all the mixed up food made me kind of queasy, so I bought some Edamame ( soybeans, salt) and some kettle chips ( potatoes, olive oil, sea salt) and gave up...

    Can I get a copy too? I'm in Cali, and all the lists I've found are east coast. Thanks Elonwy

    I'm in Culver City ( which is very close to hollywood). If theres enough of us, maybe we could start our own Elonwy

    I talked to the nutritionist, and she was very helpful. She had a list all ready for me with the different places on campus and what everything has in it. She also told me that all the workers are aware of this, because a bunch of students have it and that they are always open to requests to clean the grill and stuff like that. It was very heartening. I also...

    I work on a college campus, and sent the nutritionist for the food service an email explaining that I was newly diagnosed with celiac disease and could she tell me what on campus was gluten-free. She sent me back an email that she was all eager to meet with me and could I give her resources so that she could best help me, as she's not that familiar with...

    They didn't give me enough drugs, I came out of it partway through and evidently started struggling. I only remember little bits, but enough to give me nightmares for a couple days. They gave me more drugs, and I went out again, but aaaaaaaggggh! I'm halfway through day 3, and I swear I already feel better. I don't feel 100%, but I feel like my brain is...

    It really feels like everything is a case by case ever-changing story as far as products are concerned. I'm very skittish right now, so I'm not buying anything that doesn't say Gluten Free on the label. The CSA Gluten-Free Product Listing is the one I was wondering about. Elonwy

    I bought the Gluten-free bible, which is a huge help. I do feel really lost, and my bf is trying to be supportive, but we're both a little overwhelmed. He's been working 12-13 hour days for the last week, and on saturday I didn't feel like eating solid food yet so I sent him to get me soup and he came back with minestrone because he didn't know semolina...

    I think I need a new doctor. I'd been sick for months, convinced SOMETHING was wrong with me ( doctor-"its stress, poss IBS"). I read an article about Celiac Disease in Fitness magazine of all places, and lied my way to a blood test ( I swore up and down that half my family has it, which they are now being tested.). Blood work comes back positive, he schedules...

    I had been thinking of asking them to change thier gloves, but your comment about the sliding bread has put me off. It's a shame too, because I really like thier BMT salads. I work on a college campus and I'm desperatly trying to find places to eat so i don't have to bring my lunch every day. Elonwy gluten-free- day 3
