    I second gluten-free lover's suggestion to test for parathyroid. High calcium levels are significantly more dangerous then high-cholesterol, although there is much less awareness about it! Open Original Shared Link One thing you should for sure do is drink half a gallon of water daily to help prevent kidney stones from developing.

    I purchased fresh fillets straight from the ocean, salted them, and fried them very low heat for a long time in oil. I did freeze them before leaving but I think next time I won't bother as you're right freezing really does affect the flavor. I'm guessing if they're well cooked they should last around 8 hours. Add a bit of lime juice on them to be safe before...

    Ok I am not a veteran, because I was diagnosed with Celiacs only two years ago. But I do want to share my story. Summarized version is that I was having severe pain even with following the gluten free diet the first year, pain with everything I ate and even when I wouldn't eat. Went to Cleveland Clinic and dumped thousands of dollars into doctors who...

    Hey guys, I just wanted to check back in with you and let you know that I was able to take well-cooked fried fish fillets through customs with absolutely no problems. Very tickled that worked out, as the way it turned out I wouldn't have had enough time on my layover to stop at a restaurant anyways. Also, cyclinglady, I flew with Delta and they didn't...

    Thanks to all for your great ideas!!! I think I will try several different things and just hope I'm left with at least something after going through security. I want to try the fish, eggs, and beans at the very least. If I have to trash everything I will just buy snacks or something there. Also cyclinglady, thanks a million for letting me know about PF...

    Hey guys, I'm going to be flying from El Salvador to Fort Lauderale and have about an 8 hr layover there in FLL before my next two flights. Do you have any ideas of proteins I can take that would pass customs? Is jerky really the only thing that is allowed? Hardboiled eggs? I'm still underweight from Celiacs and really badly need a lot of protein, I know...

    Thank you all for your responses and help. I am new to this forum and really appreciate your input. She feels that the countries that are the most closed are the ones most in need not just spiritually but also for humanitarian aid, but I know she is weighing the decision carefully and will keep thinking about it for a year or two before deciding for sure...

    She is going as a missionary to share her faith. No, it's not at all certain that she would be imprisoned, but just wondered what she should do in that scenario. I'm just concerned, not saying that it will actually happen... Anyway, even if it would happen I'm sure it wouldn't happen right away, but does seem like a possibility in the next 30 - 50 yrs. Hopefully...

    Hello friends, Someone I know is in the future going to be living in a Communist country and there is a possibility that she will be persecuted for her faith if it is discovered that she is a Christian. Since she has diagnosed Celiacs, if she is imprisoned, should she really choose starvation over eating bread(quite likely containing gluten)? Won't she...
