    Pam cooking sprays are all gluten free except for the Baking Spray, which contains flour.

    I buy the little pre-packaged envelopes of oatmeal for convenience in the morning. Usually Nature's Path Maple and Brown Sugar Envirokids oatmeal (yea, they're meant for little gluten-free kids, which is probably why they're so good). They're pretty cheap for gluten-free, only .50 more than classic Quaker at Target. I am fully in support of the peanut...

    I love Quaker's caramel rice cakes, they're a go-to snack for me. They never bother my stomach and if I forget them in a Ziploc in my bag for a few days... they're still totally edible. I can't count how many times I've found a mystery bag of rice cakes in a pocket in my bag and proceeded to munch on them. It's been 10+ years and I still really miss...

    I have seen a lot of people comment that they can't eat oats. I eat oatmeal for breakfast most mornings. I've removed it from my diet a few times and added it back in, but have never seen any difference. I think they're safe for me. It's a good thing. Without gluten, dairy or eggs... breakfast is challenging. The flu bugs are so vicious anymore...

    I've never had any gallbladder issues before this, but it's the only thing I can think of that makes any sense. I don't have a GI (no insurance, can't afford to walk in the office, unfortunately). But, I made an appointment with my PCP. She's pretty thorough and does what she can to keep my costs down. Already $250 in the hole from the hospital trip yesterday...

    Where do they sell the Top Care brand? I always have a hard time finding gluten-free meds when I'm sick. A lot of the Target brand stuff (Up&Up I think) is labeled gluten-free, but the nearest Target is 30 minutes away, which feels like an eternity when you have the flu. With the autoimmune trigger, I was wondering the same thing. If the flu...

    The thermo is a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. Even pre-gluten-free, I've always sucked at lunch. I'm not big on cold foods (sandwiches, wraps, salads...eh). I'll try the thermos idea.

    I begin student teaching at the end of January. Full days at an elementary school plus evening classes is going to make for some long days where I am out of the house (my eating safe zone) for 10-12 hours. I normally just don't eat much away from home, but I'm going to need food, and I don't think I can subsist on fruit and granola bars all day. Is it...

    Thanks, that makes sense. I generally just avoid OTC medication because it's so hard to tell what is/is not gluten-free. I've only taken Target brand naproxen and DG brand cough drops, both gluten-free. Before getting sick, I had been feeling so well and my diet had been so good. It can be so discouraging feeling like I'm taking 2 steps back. The thought...

    Okay, I'm hoping someone else has experienced this or has an answer for me. Can the flu provoke a Celiac flare up? For the past 12 days I have been battling a terrible flu-bug (not the stomach flu, a respiratory flu: fever, cough, fatigue...). This flu did come with a lack of appetite and some stomach distress, which is not typical for the flu, but also...

    Hi Morna. I will have to add Tom and Chee's to my list. I have found so many new restaurants on this forum. My family's birthday season is coming up (I swear, everyone was born between September-December), so I am going to have to check out the bakery on Campbell Station. Sneak in some gluten-free cake and goodies and see if anyone notices. I miss...
  12. Arasmas
    This was absolutely me before diagnosis. The worst of all of my Celiac symptoms occurred in the morning. The anxiety was terrible in the mornings, I had horrible nausea, no appetite, felt light headed, dizzy and shaky, diarrhea, stomach cramps... the works. Honestly, I don't know if it was the symptoms causing the anxiety, the anxiety making my symptoms...

    I was a food snob too. Loved restaurants with fancy-pants menus and mysterious "chef's specials." Didn't believe in making substitutions or questioning dishes. A total beer snob too. I've been drinking a lot more wine lately, kind of nice it's in the grocery stores now. Only, ever since this all started, I can not hold my booze anymore. I don't know...

    Ha! Notme, that is me in a restaurant. My mom says I look like a little kid eating an ice cream sundae. It doesn't even have to be something extra-special like RR, I dance in my seat eating a burrito bowl at Salsaritas. In some respects it's kind of nice that my threshold for happy has been lowered to "give me food." I fell for the gluten-free dominoes...

    I'm so happy I started this thread. I am sitting here mentally mapping all of my eating out for the next 2 months and getting really excited. Food makes me happy, not doing the dishes makes me happier. Notme - I think the bakery was down on Campbell Station, so thanks for saving me a trip. It's a pretty long drive for me, so I'll wait to check it...
