    Go ahead and once the app says something is safe, pull out your magnifying glass and read it yourself. Ingredients change (I miss a certain brand of pho noodles that used to be gluten-free-caught me by surprise) and you don't want to accidentally get glutened. It is nice though that it picks out bad ingredients so you can scan and then chunk it back on...

    Today I went to sams club and they had freshetta gluten-free pizza!! Yaaaaaaay!!! Im eating it right now, pretty good!

    I think that while getting diagnosed can be very helpful, you have to think of the pros and cons of an official diagnosis. If you are in school and need a dx for accommodation, need to know your genetic risk for your offspring, need a dx for follow up testing, etc then it can be a good idea to do a diagnosis. However, in your case, since the symptoms are...

    I got one of those when I was diagnosed and it was so awesome and helpful! Lots of good literature along with some samples. You have to give them your doctors info and permission to verify your Celiac diagnosis before receiving it. I assume that is to stop the freebie hoarders. Here is the link: Open Original Shared Link

    Ugh, I feel bad for you to have been stuck in that position. I totally understand. Honestly, when it comes to getting "glutened", everyone is different. I don't get conclusive symptoms after accidentally ingesting it, and some people get violently ill. But either way, damage is still being done to the small intestine, so some people have smaller reactions...

    Go offer to help her put up her stuff!

    Tonight I have cut up pork tenderloin that I usually make stir fry with, but I think I am going to do like a beef tips and gravy with it. Just want something different and more comfort food-ish. I think I have been eating stir fry too much lately, haha.

    Get out of my brain!!!

    Welcome, Lorrie! Good news first, is that especially with you having not been 100% gluten free, being gluten-free for only a few days is not going to make a big impact on your tests. It takes a long time for antibodies to go away and for the gut to heal up. Second, did you get a copy of your lab results? If you would like to share them here including...

    What has you out on the road, are you a professional driver? Some of the people on here gush over their Coolatron brand coolers, I am waiting for an excuse to get me one. They can hook up to your cars charger spot and keep food cold/hot, some models have a regular plug in option as well. Get some gluten-free bread, or if you are not in a place to toast...

    Welcome to the forum, Hilary! I checked out weetabix cereal... it looks like it is kind of a crumbly wheaty granola bar thing you stir into milk to make cereal. Something I think may be similar to that is Udi's granola. Can you tell us what country you are in, since product information and ingredients can vary across borders. If you are in the UK, it is...

    I would opt out of those places and stop at a gas station to get pre-packaged snacks. If I am stuck somewhere without nourishment, most gas stations and convenience stores sell chips, string cheese, some kind of fruit, and may have at least one meal bar option that is safe. How long are you on the road for- a road trip, or just gone for the day? Pre-planning...

    I fully agree. I will still go with a trusted brand over something questionable every time.

    In a perfect world, they would be on things proactively, but that is usually not the case. Generally a complaint has to be filed, takes them a while to look into it, they send a cease and desist, etc etc. Just think about all those dangerous weight loss supplements that come out and make millions before the FDA throws the hammer at them... I speculate...

    This!!! Yeahh... can you carry handguns in Georgia for protection? Don't know if murder point would be a good date location LOL

    Today I made grilled chicken with green beans and sweet potatoes. Have had a terrible mirgraine since my IVIG treatment thursday, still not really better. I have stuff to do, this needs to go away!!

    I don't live close enough to Houston to know which restaurants are good, but I know they have an active gluten intolerance group, and there is this awesome place there called Gluten Free Nation. Open Original Shared Link They are a dedicated bakery that also sells tons of gluten-free stuff in their store, they sell their products in HEB's and I have yet...

    I always get takeout when I dine alone. That way it isn't all awkward!

    Have you had the genetic test done? That plus the biopsy may give some more clues

    If she just spent months in another country, I assume she was doing some kind of work for the greater good? Sounds like she is likely a good person who will be understanding. Go ahead and ask her out!!! No chickening out

    If you have a verifiable bacteria that needs to be killed, please for your and public health interests, take the antibiotic. It takes strong stuff to kill nasty germs like that, but you don't want that hanging around any longer than it has to.

    Since I am from another country, I cannot comment on ingredients, but I agree with the above comment that you are a great friend to be doing this and doing it right I think your handling practices are as good as it gets. The only additional thing I can think of, is beware of a dirty pot holder potentially touching the cake. Just use a clean, thick towel...

    I was diagnosed pretty much by accident after having an endoscopy done for stomach pain. Eventually all the bloodwork also pointed to Celiac disease, I never did have any of the major GI symptoms, however once going gluten-free after diagnosis my unexplained anemia cleared up. Not all Celiacs get Diarrhea and such upon gluten exposure. I am what is sometimes...

    Last time I just went into the booth part, didn't go to any talks or presentations. Pretty much every major gluten-free brand is there with a booth with samples and coupons, lots of drawings, lots of edibles. They have a bunch of speakers and presentations, those are especially helpful for people newly gluten-free.
