    I'd go gluten-free ASAP. There's no point in delaying her healing. And that means no school pizza on Friday. Try making your own pizzas out of tortillas, eggplant, etc. Glutino makes a great frozen pizza but it's pricey. I make my own pizza crust using the recipes in The Gluten Free Gourmet. Most people on here will say that a dietitian often isn...

    It can cause pain but not always which makes it tricky with a child that young. A lot of people get stomach pain/cramps, but not everyone. Most parents will notice a difference in bowel movements and/or behavior. You'll probably have to go by the symptoms he had that lead you to seek a diagnosis.

    The pizza crust recipes in The Gluten Free Gourmet cookbook are really good. I also love Glutino brand frozen pizza, but prefer to make my own since pre-made is pricey.

    How did he deal with the FMS for the last five years? Does he have any idea that most of your FMS symptoms will likely go away if you stay gluten-free??? I think being gluten-free is way easier to deal with than FMS. (I was also diagnosed with FMS and all my symptoms disappeared when I went gluten-free).

    I wouldn't flush them. I'd take them to the local pharmacy. They'll be well-versed in how to dispose of them.

    I'm so sorry. You will be in my thoughts.

    I really like pilates because you follow along and don't have to think about what you're doing next. There are lots of things you can do at home with basic equipment like a balance ball, therabands, etc and your own body weight. I'd recommend getting a personal trainer for one or two sessions to show you a good strength training program you can do at home...

    I got them in the afternoon, central time. It came in an email which was a good thing. I didn't realize it was my result so I happily opened it up to find out I was NOT casein intolerant. If it had come in the mail I probably would have left it sealed on the counter for a week before getting the up courage to open it.

    Maybe you could ask the boys what they want. It's possible they want food just like their friends are eating or that certain foods are "cool".

    Ok, maybe that was a bit harsh of me. But this stuff does make me mad.

    Your doctor is an idiot. The "secret" is that you can cheat as much as you want if you want to remain sick all the time.

    I look up the menu online first and try to find something that's gluten-free. Then I call the chef and ask about it. Sometimes I sneak off to the "bathroom" before the waitress comes to discuss my food in private. Eating out is all about thinking outside the box. I sometimes don't even order off the menu. I might go in and say I want a salad with...

    Until you actually do give it up and realize that in this case, the grass really is greener without gluten

    Oh, I didn't realize it wasn't your house. That complicates things. I'd definitely invite them over to your place next time. I would often rather cook dinner for friends than go out to a restaurant. Sometimes they say they feel badly because I'm always cooking for them, so I have to stress that I don't mind at all because it's keeping me safe and giving...

    The whole health insurance thing annoys me so much. I haven't had any problems, but now that I'm (self)diagnosed and gluten-free, I am sooooo much healthier than I was before. If I could give an insurance company my personal statistics on how many doctors visits I've had pre and post diagnosis, they should be able to see that I'm about ten times cheaper...

    They changed gluten suppliers. My impression is that the gluten was contaminated, but I tell everyone I know it's because gluten is evil I printed the story, highlighted the bit about the gluten being bad and posted it at the entrance of my cube.

    If it were me, I'd go with my own food in tow. I do this nearly every week. I look at eating out as a social thing, not a "I'm hungry, let's eat". I could care less about what I'm eating as long as I can hang out with my friends. It's possible they didn't forget about your diet. It's just that your diet is not the center of their lives like it is...

    Maybe I'm selfish, but if people are eating at my house, they're going to have what I want to serve them. And that does not include gluten. My friends are awesome about it and open minded and willing to try the food and decide if it tastes good rather than assuming it's bad because it's gluten-free. Anyhow, I'm sorry you're sick. Next time, I would...

    I'm the queen of anti-social behavior when glutened. Part of it is that gluten makes me depressed. My other symptoms (brain fog, fatigue, stomach pain) don't help matters. Depending on how bad I am and the symptoms I have that day, I either go home and just sleep it off or force myself to get out and hang out with people so I'm not home feeling sorry...

    I'd have to agree with you. I always look at the front page and think "gosh, is there a way to decrease the number of forums?" There are so many! But then I can't figure out a way to do it, but grouping them might help.

    You could start by trying to get power of attorney for her. That should give you access to medical records and more clout when trying to fight for her. The next step is to talk to the nursing home, I think. Make sure they have her celiac on file. A doctor's note stating she must be gluten-free is a good idea. I'd also talk to the staff, make sure they...

    I'd say you're either accidentally eating small amounts of gluten (maybe from CC or makeup/lotions) or you're intolerant to something else. Maybe you should keep a food journal to see if you can track anything else down? How did you get diagnosed? Just curious because after 14 months you should be feeling better.

    I bring it up as soon as I can (it's a good way to screen potential boyfriends ) The first time something food comes up or I whip some fruit snacks out of my pocket at an odd time, I say I'm allergic to WBRO, peanuts. I've never had a problem and people are generally interested. The first question is usually "you can't drink beer???" If someone freaks...

    I didn't have time to read the whole thread, so sorry if this is a repeat post. I also think that celiac is the end stage of gluten intolerance. You start with gluten intolerance, keep eating gluten and damage your intestines to the point of having celiac. To me a gluten intolerance diagnosis should be looked at as a blessing that you haven't gotten so...

    Your weekends will be so much better if you're not sick all the time! When everyone's eating at a friend's place, I bring my own food. I also have one friend who is amazing about my diet so he cooks for me (he's the only one I'll trust to cook me food). If we're going out to eat, sometimes I still bring my own food. If I'm going, my friends will make...
