  1. I get it, it's not fun.I have lived it and so has about 40,000 other people here. I can't tell you the times that my husband has found me in a corner or ladies room in tears. If you want to feel well, you have to choose well. I know of no one who would criticize you in protecting your health. It's all a process. It does not happen over night. I...
  2. I don't think that your expense to an acupuncturist is worth your money, with regard to Celiac Disease. It cannot cure it, nor relieve the symptoms.
  3. ....with big thumbs? Happy Thanksgiving Day to all of you! May you be surrounded by good family, good friends, good food and REALLY good wine.
  4. I have shared your feelings...so sorry mamaw. I lost my parents when I was very. How lucky for you to have had her for so long, with a lifetime of memories.
  5. Stay warm! It's mighty early for this snow mess and such.
  6. I agree Julie. It's doesn't work for you, don't go back.
  7. I feel a little different, Jason. When I eat out, I accept 100% responsibility. I choose the restaurant, I choose what I order and what I choose to put in my mouth. If I get sick... well, I chose poorly. I feel it's a bit unreasonable to hold a restaurant (that caters to 90% of people without food issues) responsible for my health. It's always...

  10. And do remember, that all roads don't lead to Celiac. It could be just a bug, or an unrelated tummy issue.
  11. I really like Ancient Harvest Quinoa pasta. It seems to hold up a little bit better and doesn't get mushy. Inside the box, it's also wrapped in plastic to maintain it's freshness and safe from buggies. Not all stores carry it, but you can check their options at: www.quinoa.net
  12. Chick-fil-A's are suppose to be gluten free. Love those waffle fries.
  13. McDonald's lists wheat in their FF, but they are processed to the point that there is no detectable gluten remaining (or considered safe for people with Celiac to consume): Open Original Shared Link
  14. Question #1: Everyone is different. The majority of people with Celiac Disease, do not have digestive issues, which can be the most obvious symptom. Celiac Disease can have over 200 symptoms. Much depends upon how diligent your are, how long you have been on the diet and what are your specific symptoms. Some people can react within several hours...
  15. ....I agree, let alone allowing one of the main allergens to go undeclared. Somebody would be in a heap of trouble! Cheers, back!
  16. This thread is a couple of years old, but may still be relevant:
  17. Yes some very sensitive people can react to trace amounts of cross contamination. If you are newly diagnosed, many foods can be an issue, gluten or not, until some healing can take place. Lundberg Rice Cakes are made at a gluten free facility.
  18. Lay's Stax are made on dedicated lines and all varieties are gluten free. I would trust the ingredient listing. The "official" criteria for product listing as "gluten free" had not been adopted as of yet in the US. And many companies will not refer to a product as gluten free, unless it is tested as such.

  20. Instead of Styrofoam, we're starting to see produce and other foods packaged with natural, biodegradable, baked materials. With all the press that gluten is getting, it's unlikely that someone would use gluten products to bake these trays, bowls, etc., but I looked online to make sure. Because the website listed "grasses," I contacted the maker to learn about...
  21. Wine is safe for people with Celiac to consume. I have never seen any evidence that wine contains residual wheat paste from the vats/barrels.
  22. Sometime when you remove the loudest voices, you can begin to hear the smaller ones. Do have a full metabolic panel done to make sure all your vitamins and minerals are on a good level. As you mentioned, and I can attest, low B-12 and Folic can make you wonder.
  23. When I make reference to my diagnosis, I say that I am a person who has developed Celiac Disease. I don't say I am "A Celiac" or "I'm Celiac". I'm not quite sure what "a celiac" is
