    My dear, this is not a silly disease and do NOT care what people think. Your life depends (literally) on you not eating wheat and wheat glutens. Let me tell you a story. My sister was the one who scared me into leaning on the doctors big time to have the tests done. One of her friends at that time has to wander about for the rest of his life with a colostomy...

    Well, is there anyone there who wants someone juicy and plump like a ripe Macintosh apple? Well I can give you an address and you line 'em up and I will knock 'em down. I figured I need a blow-up life-size Johnny Depp doll who is dressed in his pirate gear. He could sit in my car with me so, I could drive in the HOV lane and freak everyone out and he...

    All of you make me smile and laugh. Johnny and I would have a much better time if I could get him out of that DVD.

    AWWW garsh, you guys are sweet. Thanks bunches! I am 25 today yes, once you hit 40 you are allowed to count backwards each year after. I not only was glutened, but not by Purdy's. I also had the flu. I still have not felt terribly well today but better than last night. This is one heck of a way to lose fifteen pounds. My exciting eveing is me staying...

    That is what the government says but they are not doing anything to help those who do go forth and multiply. I would say most people do not have the income to support more than two no days. In this province most can barely support themselves with the high cost of living, homes and rents. Average house in Calgary now is $500.000.

    I was in Jamaica in March. I got glutened by accident once only, I was staying at the Starfish Trelawny. They had no idea I was coming and that I needed special foods. Each day at that resort lunch and dinner buffet changed but the chefs would take me down the line and tell me what had flour or bread in it and what didn't. Jerk Chicken and Jerk swordfish...

    Adelle, I feel very sorry for your niece. It is obvious your sister hates her and she is going to spend her whole life being the odd man out. That poor kid must feel so lonely and unwanted. If you want kids then by all means have kids. Maybe you should also adopt your niece from your sister. I fear what that poor kids life is going to be like. I also believe...

    Being Celiac is like being an alcoholic. In a as much as with us a little bit of wheat will hurt us and so will a little bit of alcohol take a dry alcoholic back on the road of drunkeness. The difference isw we have to eat to live and an alcoholic does not need alcohol to live. We can and have learned to eat and live without wheat, that is what your mother...

    Thanks

    Well after and in depth conversation with Purdy's they guaranteed me that none of the chocolates I had contained no wheat or gluten. We figured with the one chocolate that I might have got a chocolate that was the last in the bunch and got too much syrup in it which may have caused a bit of a problem. However, it could have been the flu also. Although i have...

    Patti, remember to lie about on the couch and be as melodramtic as any sick man would be. Request bon bons and drinks, pillows and blanket. No cleaning anything, you are to lay about like the pampered princess.

    I got mine from Amaranth in calgary they were the Cream Hill Estates ones from Quebec, they are excellent and expensive. However, you can get bigger boxes of MCCanns Irish oats and I have seen them in Planet Organic etc. I hear they are very good. Other extremely sensitive celiacs eat them and come out okay, so I may give them a shot. When you come out here...

    I ate nothing different than normal. But because my reaction came from the candy about 12 hours later that was my reaction to it, I know that is the only thing it could be. And believe me everything that came up was chocolate. Essentially as you said that when we get glutened it is like food poisoning because we are literally being poisoned by food. I...

    If it is a restaurant I have never been to or been very rarely too I ask to speak with the manager. I go through the everything has to be clean pan, utensils etc. If it is one I go to a lot they know the drill and what I can and cannot have. There is no way to be high maintenance and if they don't know what is in something I ask them to bring it out so I...

    I would try to eliminate all foods one by one. First take dairy out, if no change take something else out. Keep going until you find out what it is, because of the caseine in dairy it has similarities to gluten reaction. And welcome to the board Janie.

    All coke and pepsi products are gluten-free. Yes, your vitamins could have wheat and gluten in them call the company and find out. Now on symptoms it is not only different for different people but I find how much gluten and type make a difference. Some I know in 5-10 minutes and others like this last huge horrifying incident it took 12 hours and I have...

    Turkish delight is a some kind of jelly yuck covered in chocolate. I don't know if turkish paste is the same or not. Even as a kid I hated turkish delights because they were jelly and only had part of a one that made me feel ill then. I guess a good reason why I hated them. Anyway Purdy's says their turkish delights have gluten in them and unfortunately that...

    Carol, I would like to address the back issue. I have noticed when I get glutened by some things and I know one Celiac who was diagnosed with the disease because of back pain, when glutened. As per my horrifying glutening yesterday I had back pain with it, it feels like a combination of throwing your back out and being beaten by a 2x4 with knives attached...

    I am glad you are relatively okay for having pneumonia, Lynne. There is no fun way to have pneumonia, just like there is no fun way to be glutened. Just take it easy because a pneumonia relapse is worse than pneumonia.

    Yes, Callebaut is very pricey their Gilbert line is not gluten-free. However, where I got the chocolate from was Purdy's. The ones they have that are not gluten-free were all the chocolates I hated in the past and those are marzipan and turkish delight. However any of theirs with vodka are not gluten-free. It was the turkish delight that she gave me by accident...

    I have literally never been this sick in my whole life. When I bought some chocolates at a company that I know the majority is gluten-free the qirl was new and gave me two that were wrong. Well one I had never had before and didn't know what it looked like. I just popped it in my mouth and started to chew. Well, that chocolate, most of it came flying out...

    As an asthmatic they used to say I should have a flu shot but I had serious allergic reactions to the shot. As eggs can be a problem for me and then the found out that anyone who is allergic to wasps and bee stings should NOT have the shots. The shots are a guess at best anyway. From year to year they guess at what the flu strain will be that year but there...

    I do not know what the Amy's packages say in the US but in Canada they all say "manufactured in a facility that produces gluten products." I don't care how gluten-free the item says it is those words or a reasonable facsimilie of those words would NOT get me to buy those items. I am highly sensitive to wheat and gluten and I would end up with the say affect...

    Well, here we are into the New Year Mateys. I had to take my phone off the hook on New Years Eve because my psychotic landlord was calling every half hour including after midnight. I think I should move to Nelson, I can run around nakey and eat gluten-free chinese food. The place I go in Calgary has a few things they can do for me gluten-free and I...
