    I see a few people have mentioned switching up your probiotics often.. what is the benefit to doing that? I was not aware of that so now I'm thinking I should be switching mine up.. but what is the reasoning behind it? thanks!

    So I am back from my trip and I have great news! They were absolutely AMAZING at that resort. They honestly treated me like a princess at every restaurant there, the buffet (which I only went there for egg white omelettes and bacon anyways) and room service. My only advice is to make sure when you order anything the specify that you HAVE to eat gluten free...

    Actually GOOD NEWS! I just saw on their website for both our resorts "All restaurants include gluten-free menu options. Please notify your server prior to ordering." We will be ok!

    Oh wow! I will let you know how it goes. I would love to see any links so I can find out some info. We booked our vacation in October which was really far in advance and thats when I found out I had celiac disease and I never thought about my vacation - until now that its SO close!!

    hmm this is interesting... I dont crave dairy but I usually crave red meat and salt (like.. salt so bad I wish they made hard candies of pure salt!!) Maybe I could try to lay off the red meat during that time, I get so fatigued I always feel like it will help me if I eat the red meat (but its probably just all in my head).. that would also explain why I feel...

    Hi - I am going to Mexico in a few weeks for an all inclusive vacation.. a bit nervous about how I will be - with the food and all. Has anyone had experience with this resort in Mexico? Or this resort (Now Jade) anywhere else? I have NO tolerance for gluten - the tiniest bit can make me very sick and all the food will be inclusive, the travel agent...

    Hi - I read this post when it was first put out there but could not relate at the time because I felt great. BUT my period last month I felt sicker than usual (I do normally feel a bit of nausea the first few days while I am cramping but then it goes away..).. then this past 8-9 days (a few days leading up to my current period and then the full week so...

    Yes you do have to be extremely careful. In my case my entire family eats anything and I have to be the careful one which is overwhelming for me since I am the mother who makes everthing for everyone else! I am constantly washing my hands, cleaning utensils, running out of clean dish towels etc... I have never ran my dishwasher so much in my life! I...

    Yea I agree with that about bringing us more gluten free options. It usually doesn't bother me too much because I just think of the good side there.. but I was literally watching the interview while in the bathroom (sick as a dog!!) - I have a TV in there, which I must say is great for me since I find myself spending a lot of time in there!!

    After being sick all night, throwing up and continuing to be sick into the next day.. the first thing I saw on TV in the morning was an interview with Snooki about how she lost weight after having her baby.. her response among other things was she is careful with her diet, no carbs, dairy and she is "trying" to be gluten free... wow.. for some reason that...

    Do any of the Werther’s Original products contain wheat based ingredients or gluten? All Werther’s Original products are suitable for a gluten-free diet. They do include glucose syrup, which may be derived from a wheat source. The Coeliac society states that glucose syrup sourced from wheat is suitable for the inclusion in a gluten-free diet. I was...

    Wow this was really helpful.. I always thought it was strange that it didn't hit me right away.. now I feel much better!! Thanks everyone for your responses!

    I have always noticed that I usually don't feel sick for an hour or sometimes hours after I have eaten something that contained gluten.. I have been reading a lot of posts and it seems like a lot of people feel the effects almost immediately.. For example if I eat dinner.. I may feel fine the rest of the night and think I have successfully avoided gluten...

    well i put chicken on to be safe but now that i have all the ingredients AND peace of mind im going to make more soon reading all the ingredients is so confusing sometimes! thanks for your help! my pizza was loaded with peppers onions mushrooms and cheese plus a little chicken so i was happy :-) and the best part was my husband LOVED the pizza and ate...

    Does anyone know if Margherita's Turkey Pepperoni is gluten free? I am making pizza tonight and I forgot to check the pepperoni - I can't find it on their website and I am wondering what the "natrual flavors" are? I think the regular pepperoni is but I got the turkey on for myself and now i'm not sure if I will even use it. Let me know if anyone else has...

    Next week will be my 4th month gluten free and I have only recently discovered how badly my body reacts to any cross contamination. The first time it happened (and last time! so far..) I had made my dinner completely gluten free. Then I made my daughters lunches for the next morning, some rice pilaf and cut up meat, and while cutting up the meat some...

    I have been serving my family a lot of potatoes since I went gluten free..that would be a great starch to replace all the bread and pasta... trying to replace alot of your favorites with gluten free options like crackers and bread can be expensive so I have been cooking with a lot of whole foods (meats, vegetables, potatoes, rice..) and keeping it simple...

    I hope you feel better!!! I have been eating gluten free since October and I have also noticed that I am EXTREMELY sensitive now if I accidentally eat something with gluten or by cross contamination. Its really tough. Even just last night I left my bag of gluten free pretzels in my family room and before I knew it my 1 year old daughter had readed in...

    that sounds pretty good

    I found this really interesting.. When I was diagnosed with colitis in 2004 they told me to avoid soy because I had blood tests that showed an allergy (among other things!) and I was young and basically had to figure out on my own what bothered me and what didn't.. I was always able to eat soy lecithin without any issues but other things like the soy protein...

    Thanks Lisa - I just found my mistake.. I was also looking up carolina rice on the same day that I looked up Near East and was picturing that website when I was remembering that the spanish rice was gluten free... (dumb!!) but I just went to the FAQ section on Near East and read "While Near East is proud to offer a variety of grain dishes to suit many needs...

    My family USED to eat a lot of rice pilaf. Ever since I went gluten free I have only made it a few times for just them to eat. When I looked it up online to see if they have other types of rice that does not contain gluten it showed the spanish rice has NO gluten so we bought a few boxes and I made some last night with dinner. It was great.. until later that...
