I feel for ya. Dogs are sneaky. I made gluten-free zuchinni bread in September. One of my three dogs ate the bread and the plastic bag to hide the evidence. They probably all schemed together to snag it off of the counter top, and all giggled to each other when I blew my top!

My husband should have been a farmer. He starts thinking about the garden in November. He loves to experiment and tries just about everything. I just about had a heart attack when he told me that he planted wheat. I needed to ask about cross contamination to make sure all was going to be okay.

Our garden covers most of our back yard. He has planted several kinds of beans, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, cucumbers, zucchini, beets, carrots, garlic, onions, peppers, etc. and....the wheat. We'll be eating good stuff in the fall. My husband also cans most of the produce. He has a green thumb.

I need some information regarding cross contamination and gardens. My husband has planted many plants during the last few weeks, and today I learned that he planted wheat also. My question is: can the wheat cross contaminate vegetables, fruit, etc?

I'm not one to freak out about stuff on a regular basis, but this issue does concern me. Because of the genetics of this virus and that this has not been seen before is scary. The virus will mutate. Hopefully not into a super virus. To be cautious is good and to have a few days supply of necessities on hand is wise also, in the event that people do panic...

I'm glad that you have a doc that listened and did not treat you like you were crazy! Welcome to the forum.

I was diagnosed in 2006. I have been worried about my children and have had two of my three children tested. Both did not not test positive, although I am certain that my daughter is a celiac. My oldest son was not tested, as he refused to do the testing. Two weeks ago, he described some of the same problems that I had at his age. Muscle pain in his...

Most of us on this forum have gone through the same feelings that you are experiencing right now. This is a normal reaction and the sadness and anger may be there for awhile until you start to feel better. No doubt, there are times when we stand out in a crowd at a restaurant or at a family meal. Try not to let this keep you from living your life. Your...

Just wanted to add another comment about German Shepards. My male has had ongoing problems with anal glands. His glands need to be emptied every two months. His vet is not sure of the reason why his glands are filling up so frequently. The fluid has been clear, so there has not been an infection so far. Pay attention to your shepard if he is licking...

I concur. Keep eating the gluten until all of the testing is completed.

I'm a case worker and work with adults with developmental disabilities. I cover two counties and trust me I know where every bathroom is in each part of the counties that I cover! Being a celiac has it's challenges, especially when I attend conferences. Most do not have a gluten free menu, so I often have to bring my own food. My clients often struggle...

I certainly understand your frustration. It took me almost 15 years to finally get a diagnosis. I have spent thousands and have been called a hyperchondriac (I can't spell either!), been told it's in my head, etc. I questioned everyone because I just didn't feel that what I was being told was the right diagnosis. It finally took the abdominal adhesions...

I bought two puppies in Nov.2007. A male named Luca and a female named Jasmine. Best breed I've ever had. Easy to train. They listen very well and respond to voice tone for discipline. They hate to get chewed out! Our pups are very sensitive and react strongly if they are in trouble. It's almost like their feelings get hurt. They love to play and...
