    You might try speaking to the bride/groom before hand not with demands to stress them but just to inquire and so that they are aware and have an opportunity to accommodate. I didn't find out I had celiac disease until after I was married (and divorced but that's another story) and I would have felt horrible to know that someone I cared enough about to have...

    I had to call off my date tonight, was glutened at a Mexican resturant at lunch (my own fault I knew I was taking a chance was just so hungry and didnt want to watch everyone else eat, thought I was clear to the waiter) now I'm stuck on the coach with stomach pains and a headache

    Hoping to find friends in western NC (crosses fingers)....

    I've just been glutened! It's my fault for trusting a resturant that obviously didnt know anything about it! It was a Mexican resturant so there was a language barrior too, I stuck with corn chips, guacamole and potato rolled in corn tortilla that I asked to be warmed in the oven and not deep fried to avoid CC. Didnt work my stomach is cramping really bad...

    How long have you been gluten-free? I felt this way through withdrawal and detox the first few weeks.

    People don't like to hear about things that threaten their outlook on life or what they see as "traditional". When I went vegan (before finding Celiac) I did it because of animal cruelty, I was educated on what was happening in factory farms and was horrified! Prior to finding this tragedy I was only following the ways I was brought up in as we all do, I...

    I had a similar issue, getting my sons father to provide food for him while at his house. His idea was to have me make his meals (I'm also gluten-free) for him on the nights he stayed over, which I'm fine with doing but he is his parent too and should know what he can and can't eat. I took my son by his house to get his backpack he'd forgotten and he was...

    I don't recommend Dominos I walking in one day craving pizza and asked about their gluten free crust and they pretty much told me to go somewhere else (at least they didn't sell it to me anyways and make me sick) I don't know why they offer gluten free when they can't with a clear conscience sell it!! Of course your not a horrible mother for giving him what...

    I don't think the mini flavored rice cakes are gluten free. At least not with Quaker. The big ones are and does state on the package gluten-free but I too was tempted by the mini bites and passed because I was unsure, sorry your sick feel better soon thanks for sharing

    I had some issues with constipation the first couple weeks in GFD. Be sure to get adequate fiber from fresh fruits and veggies should help, and steer clear if rice cakes seemed to give me issues in that area.

    I too use bisquick with EngerG powder egg replacer and they turn out great.

    If you do have Celiac and you are still eating gluten foods than your digestive system can't begin to heal and is probably getting more damage, for a gluten free diet to work for Celiac you have to completely cut out the gluten. I understand you may want to get positive test results first but if you do have Celiac these symtoms make sense, if your intestine...

    I too am new to the gluten free diet and my best suggestion is to research research research! This website has help a lot, hearing others experiences. From what I understand it takes 6-8 weeks to really start seeing results, I felt some better after the first week but this last week (week number 5) has been hard I've been going through what I think is gluten...
