    Franceen, Thanks so much for the encouragement. I had no idea that Rice Krispies has gluten in it. Fortunately, I don't eat Rice Krispies but I wouldn't have guessed. I had a colonoscopy on May 2nd and received the diagnosis the next day. I didn't really understand it or truly believe it at the time. I think it was about May 17th before I really began...

    I have a couple pieces of cast iron cookware. In particular, the skillet has sentimental value and I would like to keep using it. I've read that you can put it in a self cleaning oven to kill old gluten. What if that is not available? How hot does the temp gave to get and for how long? We are thinking about putting it on our grill. It gets to 550*. Would...

    yep... everything you just said. I'm almost angry about it. Nothing works for it, it's just a matter of riding it out. I hate taking pills. I don't even like the over-the-counter stuff like Tylenol. Sometimes, all I can do to get to sleep is swallow some Nyquil or cough syrup. That's when I'm really desperate, like right now. Even then, it doesn't always...

    Hello again, I feel like I've just been sucker-punched.... AGAIN ! After my Dx for celiac last month, I've been reading and reading. This site is an amazing wealth of information (thanks to you all). I have never even heard of DH before now but I have been living with a rash on and off for years! I have this rash now and my doctor prescribed Prednisone...

    Hahahaha... Thank you so much for the laugh. I never even thought about the name! Awesome reaction to your bil. On my birthday, my poor sweet daughter-in-law tried so hard to cater to me. I felt awful having to ask about ingredients. My other daughter-in-law (visiting from GA) got me a cupcake that was supposed to be gluten free. Unfortunately, it was not...

    You're right, it does sound harsh. But again, you're right, I am worth it. You hit the nail on the head there. I have always struggled with a lack of self worth. I never want to put anyone out. I loathe being in the limelight. These are issues I am very aware of and while I don't see being an introvert as a personality disorder, I do see where my poor self...

    It was pretty much exactly what I feared. My husband and I arrived before my son so I dared to ask to speak to the manager. She assured me that she would let the cook know to take measures in preventing cc and showed me their gluten free menu. When it was time for everyone to order, I felt so awkward. I had to ask a few questions of the server and in the...

    Frieze, you would be correct. He is now 21 but at 17 he was struggling (as 17 year olds do). He had a lot of anger issues with his father. Unfortunately, as I was the only one present, I became the scapegoat. He is a wonderful young man and truly one of my greatest allies. As a side, he and his father also have a great relationship. You are also correct...

    It seems that I have caused a bit of confusion. Let me clarify. I have 5 sons and a daughter. All of them are grown and out of the house. My youngest son (who made the hurtful comments) apologized almost immediately. He's actually the most compassionate about this. My son visiting from Georgia is a twin and the oldest. He is the one that wants to meet for...

    JMG, I am newly diagnosed. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to post this. I am experiencing the very same anger and sadness and loss at the DECADES I wish I had known. I have cried thinking about how different my life might have been, how different my children's lives might be. I too have no idea who I really am or who I might have been....

    Hello Everyone, I want to take a minute to introduce myself and then ask a question. First, I have to admit that I am still reeling in shock about this. I went to my doctor in March for a normal checkup. I hadn't been there in a couple of years (I don’t really trust doctors and I hate taking meds). We will be losing our insurance at the end of this y...

    It has never even been turned on. As I recall, it is capable of milling oats as well as popcorn. I don't know about coconut or other nuts but I can find out.

    Hello... 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with Celiac. Looking at the various flours used to replace traditional flour is a bit overwhelming. I have a Retsel grain mill and I'm considering milling my own gluten-free flour. I have a few questions. First and foremost, would it be cost effective? Obviously, buying flour already processed is more convenient but terribly...
