Oh, this is a great idea! In a small town, I think the chef / owner would actually remember me and would do his or her best to accomodate. I could just suggest that restaurant as the place we meet for meetings when asked "where do you want to go?" I'll give it a try!

Have I talked to kitchen staff? Good question. In my town of 8,000 people I tried to talk to them but was often met with blank responses. At McD and Dairy Queen they didn't have a gluten free menu list (like they do in larger towns.) I looked it up on my phone. At the pizza place the manager had no idea what I was talking about and the 20-somethings...

3 months gluten free due to Celiac: I live in a very small country town and so not have the gluten free options I would if I lived in a larger city or suburb. Although I prepare most meals at home, sometimes I need to go out for work or pick up something along the way. None of the local places have a gluten free list or menu. At the Asian place...

I am doing a lot of assessing right now as well. I keep looking back and remembering occasions when no doctor could figure out why a healthy person like me just couldn't get better from something simple (like an ear infection.) Why I had such difficult pregnancies and why I got shingles in my 20's and it took 5 years to heal completely from it. Or why...

Thank you for your welcome and your comments. My three children were tested last week for Celiac and today we learned that all three test results were negative. The doctor recommended no need for further testing unless we observed symptoms. But is this the advice most of you received? One of you mentioned getting the children tested each year. I guess...

Recently diagnosed with both Celiac and Sjogren's. The symptom that began my search with the doctors was severe arthritis (I am only 42 yo.) I was shocked to find out I had these auto-immune diseases and that I have have Celiac long enough to have developed Osteopenia. I thought the primary symptom of Celiac was stomach and digenstive issues! Thank goodness...

I have co-existing Celiac and Sjogren's and my specialist told me the mouth sores were likely due to the Sjogren's, not the Celiac. Once I started taking the Salgen (pescription med to treat Sjogren's) to help my glands produce moisture, the mouth sores healed up.
