    Morning Lynn--Rt 110 is Broad Hollow Rd--I hope that helps. Personally, I have never been to the college--the number is 2350 Broad Hollow--if you go to Mapquest and type in your address, then the college address, it will give you directions. I'm sure if you have been there before, then you will remember once you see the directions. Kev will tell me how...

    Richard is correct. Also, some of us react to wheat in other ways. I am intolerant of gluten and also have an allergic reaction when it touches my skin. I can't use products containing soy or corn on my skin either. As an example: The other day I was spraying hairspray and coughed. It all happened so quickly, amazing how fast even. I was spraying...

    Sorry . I've unfortunately never heard of a hospital accomodating a gluten-free diet. If you can, just tell them they are absolutely not allowed to feed her and bring all of her meals from home. Maybe you can give the hospital staff safe foods to give her for times when you're not there. This is not true of ALL hospitals! Some hospitals do accomodate...

    So today I make some gluten free brownies from scratch (I hate to bake from scratch). They are horrible, and I can't give the dog chocolate. The Hodgson Mills baking mix said it was delicious. They lied. Awwwwwwww Jo, I feel bad for you. Now, from reading this, I am confused, did you make the brownies from scratch or from a mix? When I make chocolate...

    Congratulations Jerry--keep it up. Might I add, what a beautiful picture of you and the kids. I was thinking you said your kids were older, maybe I am remembering wrong--who is in the pic with you? The little guy looks like you.

    I guess I am cut from a different mold them others, it never bothered me to go gluten free. Giving up wheat, rye, barley, and oats was great since I felt so much better. The only thing I missed was bread and noodles. For years and years going somewhere and eating was not enjoyable to me, so I began to associate good times as being with friends, people...

    Morning Deb, just want to tell you good luck in whatever you do. My last 2 jobs in Michigan, there was no doubt in anyone's mind as to why I was leaving. Both bosses were totally obnoxious, off the wall cruel people and as proof of that, they both no longer have positions with either place I worked. The boss I have now didn't even care who I had worked...

    It's weird, when I read about some of you being so upset when you go gluten free--I wasn't. Of course, my sister went gluten free in March and I could see the improvement in her, so maybe it was my role model! I was so happy to feel better, I didn't mind not having gluten. In the beginning, I ate ricecakes with peanut butter and cottage cheese with fruit...

    Welcome Gazza, there is a wealth of information on the internet, lots of very informative forums. Healing is a slow process and yes, you will have setbacks. Our bodies have to eliminate a lot of poisons to get well. Hope you feel better soon.

    Make sure you find a vitamin that is gluten free. Vitamins and medications do not follow the same guidelines as food. I use Nature Made brand, it tells on the box or bottle if it is gluten free. There are others too, I prefer this brand. I think all celiac's should take a good B Complex also. I take B12 and folic acid. I have peripheral neuropathy and...

    I have had jelly beans, just not sure which, I did do an internet search and found this: Following is a complete list of our current product line: YEAR-ROUND CANDIES Mike and Ike - Original Fruits, Tropical Typhoon, Berry Blast Jolly Joes - Grape, Orange 'n Cream, Strawberries 'n Cream Hot Tamales and Super Hot Hot Tamales Zours - Original Fruitz...

    You are very welcome. I find it so sad that we go to the doctor and tell them exactly what we know and they tell us we don't know what we are talking about. So many of us gave our doctors so much to work with and they just called us hypocondriacs, it's so sad and so aggravating. Then we are sick for so long and develope other problems--it's all so aggravating...

    It is true, after we celiac's eliminate the gluten from our diets, usually soy is the next intolerance's to pop up. The only soy I get now is soy lecithin and in margarine--I try to buy butter, yet I do not like it as much. They say that many soy intolerant people can handle some of the oil, something about the heating process making it change--not sure...

    I too find I can't tolerate tapioca starch or potato starch, which leaves me with cornstarch, which thankfully doesn't seem to bother me even though I have trouble with corn. It always amazes me how a food can bother a person, yet there are certain parts of a food we can tolerate.

    Welcome Gazza--It's normal to get excited about feeling better and also normal to feel that you can do more than you probably should. Just give it time and do a little more each day.

    My cousin Jeanne had 9 kids and was on IV treatments for all 9 in the beginning of each pregnancy. I think this is more of a pregnancy problem than a celiac one. I had terrible motion sickness with my last 2 pregnancies--I couldn't see someone else in a rocking chair, let alone, rock. Keep your chin up--hope it passes soon.

    I'll bet if McDonalds had a separate room for the french fry fryer, used pure oil with no additives, and had a special employee that did nothing but cut up real potatoes and fry them right in front of your eyes, some celiacs (and others with food intolerances) would still claim the fries made them sick. There's an infinite variety of scenarios, real and imagined...

    My sister, our dad, and I are all celiac and all different. She is 5'3 with a completely different body build than I, I am 5'5 with big bones, where she has a much smaller frame--my feet are bigger, my hands are bigger, yet our legs are the same length. Now dad used to be 6' tall and weigh 270#--before going gluten free he was down to 130# and looked like...

    Do a google search on McDonalds and court cases.... McDonalds lie about anything they can... you can find 100 court cases where they have presented misleading evidence or simply lied... This can be said about any huge company including the one everyone thinks they can trust--Kraft. I feel the opposite about McDonalds, they have always came forward...

    The first few years that I was gluten free, I didn't react to barley, yet that does not mean you are not damaging yourself inside. I found this out quite by accident. Quaker has a ricecake called Crackerjack, they actually have 2 different varieties of Crackerjack and I didn't know it. I loved them and was telling my sister about them--she warned me...

    I discovered my corn intolerance when I made cornbread stuffing for a Christmas turkey in 04. I do find that I can tolerate cornstarch in products and actually, in the beginning I could eat fresh corn, it was just the processed corn I could not have. I haven tried eating regular corn since. I can't have corn chips, corn flour--the processed stuff. The...

    Jacqui--if your eyes are crusty, then you have conjuntivitus probably and you better see your eye doctor for meds. It will only get worse. Dry eyes should not get crusty. Celiac can cause dry eyes which would cause the redness, irritation...BUT if strick gluten-free will you still have it or is it supposed to eventually go away? Celiac disease can cause...

    A lot of "miracle babies" have been born while on the pill OOOOOOOOOOO I will have to tell my daughter she is a miracle baby. I always told her she was a wonderful surprise, she is the youngest of 5, the other 4 all boys! I was taking birth control pills and my body was not absorbing them. The doctor looked at me when we figured out I was pregnant again...
