    Boatguy, I too had a similar experience with Chipotle and have since learned a few tricks... If I eat there I go about 15 to 30 minutes after they open only, never during or after a rush. Its not too busy and they have had a chance to cycle through last nights food so its fresh. Also I always always explain that I have a "Wheat Allergy" (Its celiac but they...

    Thanks for the heads up, Wegmens is my go to store and I probably would have tried it out.

    So not to throw a curve ball in there for you but Ive been gluten free about 1.5 years now, Diagnosed Celiac in December of 2013. I started feeling better everywhere else minus my muscles and joints and was diagnosed with Celiac Arthritis and Fibro... Apparently Celiac Arthritis is a thing, this is a new diagnosis for me so I am still learning about it but...

    Thanks Judy Yeah my blood work also showed no Rhumatoid arthritis so that's consistent. Thanks for the well wishes also. Really after the Celiac diagnosis I was really down for a few months (mentally/physically) and have since been really positive about this whole thing... overall It could be so much worse! The Fibro/Celiac Arthritis pain is at a point that...

    Hey everyone, so I wanted to see if anyone else has heard of this... I went to see my general care doctor a few months ago and she felt that some of my symptoms sounded like Fibro. I have been gluten free for 1.5 years now, Celiac diagnosed in December of 2013. I want to say about 6 months or so ago I finally started feeling great after following my diet...

    I hear you on not wanting to sound pretentious however I had to get over that real quick. I tend to say I have Celiac, and to treat is as though it is a severe allergy because I get super sick for a couple of weeks. That usually does the trick Most of the time restaruants are more than willing to help you out if you are upfront and plesent about your issue...

    Scion restaurant, Firefly, DOUGH, ShopHouse Asian Kitchen, Blue Duck Tavern, and Policy are all places i frequent on a regular basis. I have never been glutened by any of them after several dining experiences at each, all of them are close to the monuments and what not so they are all convenient. A couple of them are a bit pricier than others (Blue Duck mostly...

    My local liquor store wont keep omission with their gluten-free alcohol selection because it is gluten removed. I was advised against purchasing it with celiac so I trusted my shop. I would avoid it.

    All my pets are gluten free Also, if you do the frozen fish food (blood worms, algae, etc.) those are also gluten free and much better for your fishy friends than the standard pellets. It is a little bit more expensive but its not going to break the bank. My dogs are on a mix of a home cooked diet and Blue Freedom wet and dry foods with veggies like carrots...

    They have more than just spaghetti, there are all kinds of gluten-free noodles All delicious enough that my 12 year old cant tell its gluten-free!

    Thanks for the post you know, I was quite depressed about celiac for the first 8 months or so of my diagnosis... now though, I am loving life, feeling better and I truly feel that having something like celiac just makes me appreciate things so much more than I used to. It may sound weird to say but I laugh at myself for it constantly, and I am totally good...

    I use Desert Essance leave ins, i have thick curly hair and it works out alright... they make several products and are all gluten free as far as I know. + They smell pretty good

    I like Van's as well but i def. prefer the Eggo waffles. + Its nice to have some "old school normal" brands back in my freezer !

    At Home: Keeping a shared environment in my kitchen is hard due to the lack of... I don't know what to call it because its not knowledge or a lack of consideration but my household forgets to keep my surfaces clear of gluten. They have a small space in the kitchen separate from the rest. The cost of gluten free flours/breads is ridiculous. Other than that...

    So my Red Robin uses the iPad as well, the reason they gave me was that their sources for ingredients change regularly and they may make it unsafe for me to eat there if they don't keep up on the printing. I actually like the idea of the iPad because I know the food safety is always up to date to the minute. They probably just explained it poorly, but when...

    Kind bars, mixed nuts and GoPicnic meals. If you have not heard of GoPicnic they are fantastic for a more substantial on the go meal.

    Seconded on all of the replies above with one addition. There is an app called "The Gluten Free Scanner" that scans bar codes and lets you know if the item is gluten-free or gluten-free with a chance of cross contamination, etc. I don't rely on this solely, I will still scan the label for the key words (Wheat, Malt, etc.) but if the scanner (which has about...

    To offer some encouragement, I felt the same way at first I hated food and it was a scary thing all of a sudden. I dreaded the holidays, potlucks, get togethers, all of it, I just felt isolated and afraid of what I was eating. I think it was around my 8 month mark after diagnosis that feeling just went away and I have the best relationship with food now....

    You can also try the Blue Freedom, it is specifically labeled Gluten Free and I haven't had any issues. I also was glutened by my dog when she was on "normal" dog food, that was a fun one to figure out Good luck!

    Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with celiac disease January this year and have been Gluten Free (minus a few accidental glutenings) ever since. I have been recovering averagely I would say, I have good days and bad however I noticed that I am having new skin rashes popping up in a couple of spots and they wont go away, the oldest one is about 2 months old...

    I use a fitbit that tracks how much I walk/eat amongst other things. It has helped me keep track of things pretty well, i would recommend this to anyone trying to gain, lose, or maintain weight. Good luck!

    I am at 9 months gluten free after my Celiac diagnosis and I still have symptoms similar to yours from time to time, they have gotten less frequent for me but they do still pop up. A friend of mine is at a year and a half gluten free after a celiac diagnosis and she is also still having symptoms far worse than mine. 18 months doesn't seem unreasonable to...

    Ive been gluten free since about January, I have also struggled with outbursts and frustration at my partner... It's been a difficult adjustment period for both of us. Joining this forum has helped me out a lot as well as some regular stress relieving activities (walking/yoga/breathing deeply when I start to feel the frustration and anger well up). All in...

    Thanks for the encouraging words, I have been struggling with frustration of being sick, feeling "left out" at parties and get togethers... just learning to re-live life in a healthy positive light. this really is helpful, thank you.
