I just recently had 2 positive blood tests for celiac disease. I am waiting on the endoscopy in January. I read as much as I could about the disease & got lots of info & help from a friend who is celiac. I decided to cut out gluten as a test about 3 months ago. I noticed changes for the positive within days, some of which I haven't heard mentioned...

Looking for advice on restaurants here in St. John's that are familiar/helpful with meals for celiacs. I have Swiss Chalet's gluten-free menu & have heard that The Keg was a good choice. Also heard mention that Zapatta's, India Gate, Magnum & Steins, Bianca's & Cabot Club were possibilities but nothing definite. Any townies out there with experience...

I just returned from a 4 day trip also & as you said, my family was very helpful. However I find that it is very uncomfortable in restaurants for everyone involved (waiters, cooks & myself & my family) to go through the process of explaining what exactly my problem is. Most have no idea what I am talking about & actually I can hardly blame...

I was diagnosed a few month's ago & also read the article re WalMart. In it they mention celiacs (1/133 people) and legions more that are sensitive to gluten. My blood levels were higher than normal (on two checks) but not extreme. I have not had a sample taken yet for testing ( that is scheduled for January). I have been on a gluten-free diet for 2 months...
