Start off... -

ARCHIVED School-sponsored Breakfast Suggestions
loco-ladi replied to buffettbride's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am anxiously awaiting the "news from the principal" and if he dont "go for it" I think we should ALL bombard his email with requests he participate in the gluten-free breakfast! numbers will overwhelm him and he will see its not "just one kid" going thru this...... All for one, one for all! -

ARCHIVED Denial Denial Denial- Long Rant
loco-ladi replied to ItchyMeredith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I can eat all the gluten I want, but it wont be right. I can make excuses for the medical profession and even blame them for not figuring out what was wrong before I did, but it doesn't change the diagnosis. I can stick to the diet, but it wont be easy. This going gluten-free is a life changing choice, in more ways than one........ you will have to... -
