    If you are new to shopping gluten-free, some of the grocery guides can be helpful for a starting point, but they are only a guide and you definitely need to read the label. Also, I find that stores that put out a gluten-free product list tend to not keep it up very well, and it only has the most obvious of gluten-free items on it, or items that are sold...

    So, today I log into facebook and one of the few celiacs I actually know in real life had posted this: http://dailycurrant.com/2014/06/03/gluten-found-in-portlands-water-supply/ ---- BEFORE YOU READ IT AND TAKE IT SERIOUSLY IT IS A FAKE SPOOF ARTICLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE---- She thought it was real, and so did her other gluten-free friends...

    When I was diagnosed with lupus, an orthopedic surgeon had run a rheumatoid factor test before doing yet another surgery on a joint. I brought the result to my family doctor and she said the rheumatoid factor test is out dated... but it can still be used as a tool. I don't know what test is newer and better, but you may want to have more tests run. Also...

    Hi Jeemb and welcome to the forum! The people you quoted and replied to haven't been visited the forum for a few years, and their posts are from 2006. Doesn't hurt to put out good info, though

    Bobs red mill is pretty good with their gluten free stuff, but they do sell some gluten-free and non gluten-free versions of the same items, so it is possible to pick up the wrong one by accident.

    Yep, next time I go outside I am going to light a giant citronella candle and let it diffuse before I go out, not wash my private parts, and stuff my self with dryer sheets.... LOLOL Today I am going to make crock pot red beans with a little bacon to flavor them. Will probably make some corn muffins to go with them, I use the KAF baking mix recipe. ...

    Hi Aidan, I understand that there is going to be a level of suck involved, but there are tactful ways around awkward interactions you can deploy. First, get your solid diagnosis and with a little time you will become more comfortable with what to do dining on your own... then you can extend those skills to the dating world when it comes up. Most girls...

    I don't like to use bug spray and a lot of body stuff irritates me... I should go pick up a big citronella candle to have when I need it! Too bad we don't yet have personal robotic bug zappers that seek and destroy for you.

    Well then you need to come visit me, hahaha! Tonight I am going to go simple and make up for calories yesterday... just grilled pork chops with green beans and carrots. Last night I was outside hosing something off around dusk, and got bit up UNDER MY UNDIES by something. I am so itchy. That is what I get for not using bug spray!

    Not all people with celiac disease get the breakthrough diarrhea and glutening symptoms. Some people don't develop them until long after they heal, and others like me have no conclusive reaction, or mixed reactions. Because the entire diagnostic process wasn't completed, it may be something that can be re visited in the future to verify the diagnosis...

    I think the headline doesn't properly encompass the scope of the findings. But over generalized headlines are not uncommon. From the last section of the article..... "ALV003 did provide significant protection against gluten-induced gut damage for people with celiac disease on an otherwise gluten-free diet"

    I have tried those latortilla ones. Big size and more pliable than the other gluten-free tortillas. I like to buy them for big quesadillas. They would make great wraps, too.

    Yay for warm weather being easy on my old lady joints!

    Step 1: Become more comfortable with the whole celiac thing in general over a little bit of time Step 2: Become an awesome home cook and develop a repetiore of stunning meals Step 3: Ask a girl out and either prepare an awesome dinner at your place or bring a lovely picnic for the first few dates, doling out the romantic cheesy stuff like a blanket, wine...

    Today I had done a lot of cleaning so my husband suggested going to BJs Brewhouse for dinner... don't have to ask me twice! I didn't realize I was so hungry until I ate a whole gluten-free pizza and a gluten-free pizzokie Gosh I love those things. Good thing it is a little bit of a drive to get there or I would have to eat them more often and I would...

    Tonight my husband wanted to grill out burgers (still on a roll with his new gas grill) so we made double patty burgers, I am soooo full now!

    I would definitely start with a good food processor. If you want something that really does it all for batch prep of stuff, check out the kitchenaid stand mixer and all the attachments. The downside is the base price plus a hefty price for each attachment. With the right attachment you can make great applesauce and purees with the seeds and skin strained...

    I also have lupus and celiac. The tiredness and it being really easy to overdo it is a classic symptom of lupus. Any time I need to get a lot of stuff done, I have to be extremely careful to not overdo myself. I have been attempting to get into better physical shape and lose some weight, but I have to be very very careful about not overdoing physical activity...

    Can you give a little more detail about what happened? Your first step should probably be to make an appointment with your primary care doctor to get their opinion first.

    Reading through this with the guacamole and now you mentioning bananas makes it sound very much like you may have some kind of allergy to that family. Are you allergic to latex? A lot of people with latex allergies can't have bananas, avocado, kiwis, and vice versa. These fruits and some others contain similar compounds to each other, and also that of...

    One time when my friend who is also named Laura was pregnant, I sent her a giant package of hickory farms stuff because she craved sausage all the time. I wrote in the little message box "Dear Laura, please enjoy eating my sausage, love, Laura." And they didn't put it on there because they thought it was dirty... haha. So, she asked on facebook "Ummm whoever...

    There should be a scene where the mobster with Celiac gets kidnapped by his rivals and force fed bread for torture. LOL

    Good to hear there are finally some definitive answers. You can now add "Official member of the Silly Yak Club 5-28-14" to your signature... lol

    Addy I am sure you are still just as cute! hehe!

    Welcome, Jayson. Are you Celiac? Anyways, if you find caffeine to be too short acting, another thing that can help with energy is a B vitamin complex. Look for one that says "flush free" because when you first absorb niacin (one of the B vitamins) you can get jitters and skin flushes from it.
