It is VERY hard to not have it in the house. I have 4 children under the age of 7 (2 stepchildren and 2 biological) and they're not gluten free. I struggle with the diet to begin with due to that... and I've tried making us a totally gluten free household... but then I'll take one of them to the store like an idiot and then one of them starts crying for...

I'm at a total loss right now and feel completely defeated. I got through 2 pregnancies as an undiagnosed celiac. My first son was born 7 weeks early for no known reason and I was on constant and complete bed rest for the majority of my pregnancy with my second son. He was not premature, thankfully, but a little underweight. I am now offically diagnosed...

More pieces to the puzzle are coming together: Like I said in my first post... I was originally looking for a fix for my psoriasis when I came across this site. I have THICK hair... I've honestly never met someone with hair as thick as mine. It's also LONG... to my waist. I've always had psoriasis issues... some worse than others... but the only dermatologists...

Thank you so much for the replies. I'm not sure how I feel about an official diagnosis. My husband thinks I should get one... But I'm not sure I see the point, I guess? If the treatment is a gluten free diet, then I can achieve the same results myself without a diagnosis if I DO have Celiac. If I don't, life will go on as per usual. I've been tested...

And a lot of sandwiches. Wheat bread, lunch meat, mustard, cheese and tomatoes. Tons of pasta as well.

I should add: Gluten is in almost everything I cook. I'm Cajun and have a large family. My husband and I have four children between us... So I generally make big pots of things. Stew, gumbo, sauce picante, soup etc. All of it is made using roux (cooked flour and oil) as a thickening agent. I use it in just about everything, honestly. I didn't use to cook...

Hi there I'm new to the forums and had some questions if you don't mind. I apologize for what I know will be a long post. Thank you ahead of time if you get through all of it. I came across this website (and many others) while on a quest to fix what has become terrible psoriasis on my scalp. It has come and gone most of my life, but over the past...
