Oh god, I feel your pain . I do not have Celiac but a pretty nasty intolerance to gluten. Even before I was diagnosed with this, there was a time where I had no idea what was going on with me. So many times I would go to University (about an hour away from home) and need to run out of class just to go to the bathroom. I never did puke but I would spend...

I'm a Canadian that has been living in Berlin, Germany for a little over two years now. One of the things that I first noticed was the labeling laws in Germany. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING needs to be labeled properly. The label needs to specify which starch they have used, which specific flour they have used, what allergens are contained in the product...

This sounds amazing! Organic garden and meats? That's like a gluten-free heaven. I'm jealous! Have a great time

Hmm now that you mention it... I think for the most part not looking like I'm 6 months pregnant from bloating and feeling lethargic all the time would definitely increase anyone's sex drive!

It's really sweet that he's taking your diagnosis seriously. I think for most, a lack of understanding can be an issue with a new diagnosis for a couple. I know mine was. It took nearly a year of talking and educating not only my SO but also his family to understand what it meant when I would get sick from eating any gluten containing foods. I think it...

Where exactly are you going in Europe? There are many really great gluten-free brands available all across Europe. You can usually find these in large supermarkets, health stores and even pharmacies. Great brands include Dr.Schär, Glutano, Hammermühle, Finax, Procelli etc. The two really big ones that I've been able to find across Europe have been Schär ...

LOL, this is so funny. The first few months after I was diagnosed I would dream that I was happily eating away at some giant slice of pizza or a giant chocolate cake and to realize only after I was finished that it was all gluten! Cue the panic nightmare scenario. But I rarely get those anymore

Oh no! Hope you feel better quickly! I have yet to hear about taking laxatives to help the gluten work its way out. I know for myself, I get immediate symptom relief from brain fog and nausea once I poop it all out , not sure if this is what you mean by taking laxatives? I would suggest that when travelling stick to foods you know are gluten-free. With the...

Sorry to hear that you've been glutened! This is the worse! May I ask if the breaded chicken was gluten-free or not? Certainly your symptoms would have been even worse if it wasn't, especially if you've been on a gluten-free diet for 1,5 years. The only thing I can say is that everyone's body is different and we all react differently to ingesting gluten....
