    This kinda bothers me. I understand that they have their religious needs -- my cousin eats Kosher to the point that he brings his own board, knife and pot when he travels. But it is still a bit of a choice, rather than a medical reason. So I find it incredibly rude that she would invite you over, and have her CHOICE take priority over your medical NEED. If...

    OMG I never knew this! THIS IS WHY I JOINED THIS FORUM!!!! Thank you so much for this info. Man, this means that rice can be just as troublesome as oat. This needs to be bigger news. People need to know about this!

    My insomnia got way better after removing gluten, but I still have a pretty hard time falling asleep. Some nights I will be EXHAUSTED, but I just can't get my head to calm down and I find myself staying up two or three hours later than I wanted. I used to take ambien every once in a while, but then I found out that it is really really bad for you! I had crazy...

    UGH THIS MAKES ME SO MAD!!!! Not just as a woman.... there's that tooo... but one of the big problems with Celiac is that eating gluten can put you on an emotional roller coaster. So the very fact that you were "over emotional" may actually be a symptom of being glutened! I had one doctor who used to do the same thing as me. When I told him I thought...

    There's actually a chance you have both: Open Original Shared Link "Some research has shown that people with one condition are more prone to the other. One study, for example, found that more than 18.5% of patients with Crohn's disease also have celiac disease."

    Actually, no. I don't eat out. And I don't trust anyone to make my food. I can't have things made on the same equipment without getting EXTREMELY sick, so it's just not worth it to me. I have tried very hard to go out to more gluten-free-friendly places but I still have mild symptoms (which for me is face twitching and an itchy throat within an hour, feeling...

    I have the same problem... it is way more expensive, but I always get sick if I eat anything that isn't grass fed. I also have the same problem with a lot of store-bought eggs. I always blamed it on hormones, but maybe if more celiacs have the same issue, it has more to do with what our food eats before it WE eat it?

    the safeway waffle are actually better than the vans ones, IMHO.... I've tried a few other mixes (cc cookie, brownies) and I was pretty happy! I think safeway/vons is doing more than the average grocery store to try and provide quality gluten-free foods at affordable prices. The only place I like shopping better is Sprouts.

    Like I said: " Kind is celiac friendly. But if you are sensitive to oat & you know their products are made in the same facility, don't do it." The OP is sensitive to oat, therefore, she will have a problem if anything is made in the same facility.

    First, I'd like to apologize for not reading the OP super thoroughly.... I saw "same facility" and just freaked out b/c I had literally JUST eaten granola & I seriously CANNOT eat things made in the same facility. SO, super sorry to the OP.... not so sorry to the people who jumped on my back, because I stand by my statement about the same facility being...

    Have you ever worked in a bakery? I used to... and I am 100% certain that something made "in the same facility" very likely has some cross contamination. There will inevitably be some dust kick-up, which will float EVERYWHERE. I personally am too sensitive to eat things made in the same facility! Maybe that's what you were reacting to. This is good info...

    I don't usually eat processed foods, but I recently saw some really good things about the Girls Scouts that made me want to support them. So regardless of whether they are good or not, and regardless of the fact that they don't have thin mints (IMHO the ONLY way to eat minty chocolate)... I want to buy some!!! If anything, I'll just crumble my candy-cigarette...

    bring gluten-free cereal, crackers & a loaf of bread! Pretty much anywhere you go you should be able to pop in and find some cheese or meats. I've actually heard really good things about traveling europe gluten free, so you should be fine. I think there is even a whole section about it on glutenfreeglobtrotter Let us know how it goes! I'm planning...
