hey, the date went really well! i had a fantastic grilled chicken salad, no croutons, etc. i asked about the chicken and everything and all went well. our waitress was kind of a witch about it but she did as i asked anyway. thanks for the ideas!

i was out eat a couple weeks ago with friends and i didn't feel like risking eating so i had eaten beforehand. it was just applebees after 10 (1/2 price appetizers, you aren't a college student until you have done that lol). there were a few people with us that i didn't know very well so i just said i have a wheat allergy and they didn't ask any questions...

hey, i was wondering what you guys order if you are going to an italian restaurant. i have a date on sat night and he wants to take me to this italian place that he loves. just give me some ideas if you can, thanks!

i have been sick for many many years but it got really bad around 2001 and I finally self diagnosed myself with at least a gluten intolerance fall of 2005.

does anyone here have joint pain especially in the shoulder? I accidently got glutened tonight and my shoulder is SO painful right now! It happened a lot before going gluten-free but I never really connected it before. i was just wondering if anyone had these same symptoms. amy

omg! this happens to me all the time. I never really thought of it as being related to gluten b/c i have epilepsy and balance was always one of my issues, but now i have read about a connection between celiac and epilepsy as well. it is very interesting that i am not the only to constantly run into things! it became much worse this fall b4 being gluten...

wow i give you credit! that is one of my worst fears whiel driving!

you have a lot of tolerance to put up with friends like those. you need to sit down and have a serious talk about it. you need to explain how harmful gluten really is to you. they may not realize that they are hurting you this badly. they really need to grow up and get over it. and Rice Guy is right, bring in some really, really good food, make them...

my best friend since i was little has late-stage lyme too. i think people are fools if they don't believe in it! i have seen her go to hell and back several time with the disease. there were points were she was in a wheelchair and couldn't even walk and people still thought she was a nut! anyway, she was told to try a gluten free diet several years ago...

i was diagnosed with epilepsy when i was six and had on and off stomach issues. however when i was 12 i got mono and then i never really fully recovered from it. i really think that that is what triggered all the symptoms for the last 8 years. at one point my doctor told me i probably had chronic fatigue syndrome as an after effect of the mono, but i don...

thanks so much that is really interesting. i do have to say that my blood pressure and cholesterol have always been on the low side, runs in my family and i have always been grateful for that! it is interesting about the rib issue. i actually have had pain in the past in my rib area and we have never been able to figure it out, its just always been an...

hey i just have a quick question b/c this has been freaking me out lately. i notice that occaisonally i will get a pain in my chest. its not a pressure but just like a sharp pain that lasts for a few minutes and then goes away. this tends to happen on both sides of my chest. but iam a hug hypchondriac when it comes to stuff like this. i once thought...
