Hi all, Be careful when buying Applegate's Organic Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets, expiration date 9/5/18! I bought a box the other day and noticed a) the inner bag was clear, not green like usual and b ) the nuggets looked different. I ate them anyway and now feel glutened. I called their customer service number, and they were very helpful. They said...

I've been gluten-free for a few years so I know to watch out for cross-contamination, but I recently got glutened by fresh local mozzarella! It's in a shop with bread so there must have been some flour somewhere. Does anyone else find that this is the most annoying part of going gluten-free? It's like getting cheated out of lots of foods you should be...

Celiac has definitely made me a little more anxious about my health. I recently was diagnosed with diverticulosis + low iron as well, so I've had to change my diet yet again because of both of those things. Sometimes I get sick of having to think about food so much! But as everyone else has said, the best thing to do is not worry. I'm trying to eat more...

I'm being glutened by something in the mornings and can't figure out what it is! Has anyone had problems with any of these: Dunkin Donuts Original Blend ground coffee Nature's Path Envirokidz cereal (the Choco Chimps and Cinnamon Jungle Munch flavors) Sundown Naturals Daily Multiple Vitamins with Iron (small tablets) I don't want it to be the coffee...

There's the obvious healthy stuff – I try to exercise as much as I feel up to it, remember to take my multi-vitamin and make sure I have healthy, filling food packed for the day. But also, lots of coffee and sugary candy! It's not great in the long-term, but iced coffee and Skittles help if I have to do focused, hard work for a few hours.

Seconding fruits and vegetables that don't need much prep. Bananas are very filling. Also: Sandwiches. Gluten-free bread can be expensive, but you can also use rice cakes or corn tortillas. Salads. You can buy bagged lettuce and just toss it in a bowl. String cheese Boxed or canned soup that you just have to heat up Gluten-free pasta Yogurt. You can have...

Hi all. Just wondering if there are any other celiacs here who don't drink – what do you do for fun? Sometimes I feel like all I can do is go to coffee shops!

Hi kaayrah, Two things I've had trouble with that might affect mood are: secret sources of gluten, and vitamin deficiencies. As far as the secret glutening, it sucks but you really have to double-check everything you eat. There are lots of packaged and frozen foods that say "GLUTEN FREE" in big letters right on the front, and then "May contain wheat...

Hi guys! I've felt slightly glutened for the past few weeks, and the one new thing I've been consistently using is EOS lip balm. I know it says it's gluten-free, so it seems unlikely. Has anyone else had problems? I got the Strawberry Sorbet flavor in the sphere, if that makes a difference.
