Hi Jessica, I'm sorry you are dealing with so much. That is a lot all at once. I found it impossible to lose weight for years. All the baby weight I gained when I was pregnant would not come off, I couldn't get it off no matter what I tried. I went to half a dozen Dr's and they all told me to forget it because I had "hypoglycemia". I finally tried the...

Hi Karen! You were posting at the same time I was. Yes, he's been wonderful. With the holidays I hadn't had time to check into the forum. We are still trying to figure out how to make a totally gluten free house work with this many people. We need to come up with some good alternatives for some of their favorites before we can totally make the switch...

I hadn't shared with him what you guys said, that advice was for me. He never said anyone was paranoid. I was saying that we Celiacs might seem paranoid for those who don't understand. Just a few months before I was diagnosed, I was taking a co-worker and a couple of other people out to lunch and one of the guys said he was "gluten intolerant". I didn...

Glad to hear you had a good day!! It sounds like your friends did too. Sounds like a happy ending!! I had to laugh at this "Shes like isn't that where u go to the bathroom after you eat bread?" I couldn't help but think it's a little more like trying to safely eat in a sewer without getting sick but ok. lol

I've had a really hard time finding gluten free sushi. It seems like the cross contamination risk is pretty high. Kona Grill does a great job with that but they are the only place in town I've found and they only have a few choices of rolls, luckily they are delicious. I've called every sushi place in town and haven't found any others I've felt comfortable...

I think it's probably pretty normal to feel that way. I had a business lunch this week, there were 7 of us and me making a scene trying to order and make sure everything was safe for me to eat. It didn't feel terribly appropriate sitting there with 3 of our companies VP's but I don't really have any choice. We were at a meeting this morning hosted...

I had to post an update. Today we went to that Gluten Free 101 meeting put on by one of our local Celiac support groups. BF had a chance to ask questions and then talked to a number of people after the presentation. When we left he said "Our house is not safe for you". He's decided that we need to take the whole house gluten free. He started asking...

Lol!! I always say if they didn't intend for me to eat the cookie dough, they wouldn't make it!!

I have DH and have never really had noteworthy digestive symptoms. Since the diagnosis I've developed a lactose intolerance and IBS, that changes things but gluten doesn't seem to bother my stomach. I can only think of a couple of occasions where I've had bloating and stomach pains after eating it. My symptoms have always been more neurological and...

There's a Mellow Mushroom near me and they have gluten free pizza AND Daiya dairy free cheese, yummy!! My kids love it too!! If you have one near you it is very good pizza! Open Original Shared Link

Oh, that's funny. I just looked up Au Bon Pain, I hadn't heard of them. There are two near me, one is at the airport and the other is at a hospital. lol Karen's right, every restaurant has that disclaimer. I always call ahead to ask about their process and to see if they understand allergies. You can usually get a pretty good idea as to whether or...

LOL, right!! I just found these: Open Original Shared Link Maybe for those days when you feel like scaring your gluten eating friends into worrying you will invite them out for a meal. user001, I have eaten at Red Robin a number of times with no problem. They are very allergy aware and do a great job. They have an allergen menu on their site that...

I'm pretty new to all of this and I haven't run across a situation like that yet but I did laugh when I read your post. It sounds like they reacted as if you just asked them to dine at your local hospital. I don't really get it but I think this is pretty foreign to a lot of people. Are there some reviews of this place you can share with them? Maybe...

The only drug store lines that I've been able to find that seemed to be gluten free were Wet n Wild and Physicians Formula. You'd have to search to be sure nothing has changed etc. When I looked, it looked like they only product Wet n Wild sold that had gluten in it was their Mega Plump mascara. I do use their lip glosses.

We use a lot of the Weber spices if you have those. They are labeled gluten free and are very good!
