Risotto's and polenta's are usually safe - just double check with the chef to see what he uses in any sauces that may accompany the dish. Good luck!

ARCHIVED Most Annoying Comments/questions
ehrin replied to carriecraig's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm kind of late joining in this topic - but so far my most irritating experience has to be this: My Boss: "Ehrin, would you like anything from so and so for lunch?" Me: "No Thanks" My Boss: "Ooohhh you can't eat anything from here can you" (while waving the menu in my face) no, I most likely can't eat anything, but thank you, for asking me DAILY... -
I have a fantastic Gastro Dr out of Ayer, MA Dr. Schwartz Middlesex Gastroenterology PC 190 Groton Road Suite 190, Ayer, MA 01432 (978) 772-3547 I went in there for a completely, what I thought was unrelated, diagnosis of diabetic gastroparesis and while he was doing the gastroscopy he decided to take a biopsy of my small bowel "just in case"...

Hi elye - I've been a T1 for almost 26 years (26th anniversary is next month) and was diagnosed with Celiac and gastroparesis in October (diagnosis' were a week apart, literally). I've been having a hard time managing my blood sugars since going gluten-free. My A1c went from 5.8 to 6.5 and I think it's due to the lack of low GI foods, so I feel your pain...

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Else Get The Worst Gas
ehrin replied to danikali's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, I do. My coworkers even said it's been quieter around here since I went gluten-free. My main symptom is gas. I don't get belly aches or cramping - just severe gas that entails both burping and farting. I also get severe bloating - to the point of where I go up a pant size. Fun stuff! Peace Ehrin -
ARCHIVED Anyone In Md Or East Coast?
ehrin replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I just caught wind of this thread - I live in Manchester, NH too!!! I just bought my first house there. I work in Billerica, MA and see that there are a lot of people from around both areas! I was dx a little under a month ago, via biopsy, and would love to meet some fellow celiac's. I know this is a long shot, but I also have T1 diabetes...is there... -
Thank you all very much. They seem to be understanding, but just don't get that it's like poison. I suspect I've had celiac disease for a few years now, so they're used to my gas and bloating as well as belly aches - it's me being healthy they're not used to. I think being a diabetic, nearly my whole life, and being raised not able to eat processed foods...

I just recently bought a house with a friend of mine and another friend of ours is renting a room. We used to each prepare a few meals and go on with our lives...but now I either have to run down their ingredient list or make my own meals. I'm only on day 3 of being gluten-free free and am having a hard time driving the point home to my friends. Do you...

Hello - I was diagnosed with celiac disease on Wednesday. Last Tuesday - 11/18 - I was dx with gastroparesis. (celiac disease was actually dx at the same time, but my appt wasn't till this Wed - came as quite a shock to say the least, I had no idea I was being tested for it). And I've been a T1 diabetic for 25 years - I am on an insulin pump and have...
