What state are you in? I'm a benefits administrator. I know all about CA and you absolutly can take intermittent leave with FMLA - I have people do it all the time. Disability would be more difficult, but possible. FMLA is non-paid unless your company has another policy. I would go to a state-specific dept. of labor site or if you tell me what state you...

Hmmmm pizza.... Have you tried Chebe brands? SO EASY and pretty good. I made pizza pockets for a football game and NO ONE knew they were gluten-free. I have not tried actual sandwich bread, but the pizza crust, calzones and breadsticks are really good. I also think I might be yeast intolerant that they don't have that either (at least some of them don't...

Thanks for the advice. There is just something I have once in awhile that kills me. I am hoping it's not corn (looking on site, seems like a lot of people can't eat corn). I am thinking yeast or dairy (gasp). I need to start keeping a food log maybe. I went to an allergist (who ruled out corn at the time) and he said I had a very slight reaction to soy...

I have been gluten free for years now. I go out a lot so sometimes I get "glutened" but usally not that bad. I take an allergy pill, pepcid and Gluten Ease and am usually ok (I am not Celiac - just allergic/intolerant). Sometimes, like today, I feel really bad and can't think of anything that I ate with Gluten. I think I have it narrowed down, though - it...

I bought two cookbooks off Amazon. One by Carol Fenster... something like Gluten Free 101 and then another by Betty Hagman. I use the Fenster one so much that it has fallen apart. (Try the breadsticks!!!!) The only problem with making your own gluten-free food is that you have to buy so many flours/mixes to use. I bought some glass canisters and have lables...

Really, they have gluten-free Big Mac's? I am so moving.

Thanks - I know I don't make sense, I just feel so lost. Sometimes I think I can't eat ANYTHING. I don't know if it's gluten, wheat or anything. I made an appointment with an allergist and am thinking about a holistic healer. I know I am forever done with "breads", but it would be nice to have light beer here and there and not be in a panic in a restaurant...

About 3 years ago, a Dr took blood and said I had an intorerace to wheat. After that, I had that horrible celiac test done, and it was negative. Well, I went on eating what I wanted and dealt with the D and all that. Eventually, I was getting so, so bad, that I decided to go gluten-free on my own. I started to feel great, for awhile. I did start to notice...

I had a horrible allergy attack, twice, in a bakery just by being around baking food. After that, I got rid of all my flour and bisquick. I miss my Bisquick.

I am confused or at least clueless. I have been seeing a GI Dr. about my "wheat Intolerance" that he (and I) believe is Celiac. I won't go on the Gluten challege, and he doesn't want me to because my initial reaction is classic allergies (sneezing, itchy, etc) and he is afraid of them worsening to a reaction similar to a peanut allergy. But I think I might...

If not, is there ANYTHING I can take to make it not look like I am pregnant? I'm so uncomfortable and think it's either gas, or perhaps I am lactose intolerant (and in denial), but I am huge and feel like I need to pass gas to feel better, but hardly do. I THINK I remember Gas-X containing gluten, but can't remember. Anyone know? Anyone have other remedies...

Ha, thinking about it, it's kind of funny. She will eat chicken, but not on the bone. Will eat turkey too, but not pork, red meat, or seafood. So, not vegan, just, dare I say, picky?

That is an excellent point, actually, and kind of made me feel a little dumb reading it. I guess I associate "picky" with not liking a lot of foods. I LIKE everything, I just can't have anything.

I get classic allergy symtoms like itchy face (and kind of all over) and sneezing, watery eyes RIGHT after. Then I know what I am in store for for a couple of days.

It's funny you say that because the last time we were going out to eat, she told me to choose where because I am the "picky" one. I was seething about that for days. PICKY.....
