  1. Hi there, sounds like you're managing the celiac disease & travel gig quite well. I notice you say "we" though. I'm on my own now, my so called friends got sick of me and my illnesses. But my main gripe is not the food issue, it's the fact I can't travel at all now due to associated illnesses (FM, neuropathy, DH). I barely make it up one aisle of the...
  2. Oh yes, the travel issues. It breaks my heart to think how my life virtually screamed to a halt when diagnosed 5yrs ago.

  6. This is me, exactly! I thought, when I was diagnosed with celiac disease 4 yrs ago, that I would simply adhere to gluten-free diet and all would be well again. Not so. Mind, I'm 59 this year, so to be finally diagnosed was a relief but alas the permanent damage being peripheral neuropathy and now fibro myalgia leaves me with severe chronic pain. I've...
  7. All the above plus, "oh, so you can't eat bread". And being oblivious to undiagnosed celiac disease causing myriad organ/nerve damage.
