    Yep...I live in NY also. I've heard of numerous restaurants that zippy10 mentioned, but I rarely ate out before being diagnosed, and therefore, don't eat out now, either. For travelling to NYC or anywhere else, there is a website: Open Original Shared Link. I hope this proves helpful for you wherever you go. It won't work for small towns, obviously, but for...

    Yep...I heard about Wrigley's from a nutritionist...I also heard that Wrigley's was the only gluten-free gum.....then again, I've never heard of some of the gums you mentioned, so maybe the nutritionist didn't know about them, either.

    The sample is nice, but do they charge shipping? I just checked the price and it is the same as what I pay for a bread that I already consider great...I guess delivery to your door is convenient.

    Try "Chebe" for a good pizza crust. You can't buy it in stores, so you have to get it online, but it is amazing. Don't buy their pizza crust, but get the package for making the bread (it works better) and follow the recipe, then "smushing" it out onto a round "thing". Put it in the oven and when the crust itself has cooked, add sauce (gluten-free, of course...

    I, too, have nothing medical to add, but find myself really snappy and irritated. I'm probably about 14 weeks now on the diet, but have felt this way for weeks. I used to get mopey and depressed every now and then, but now find myself really mad, irritated, and snappy at people quite often...again, nothing medical, but just reassurance that this is fairly...

    Hi...I'm a thirteen year old boy, diagnosed 13 weeks ago...just thought I could be of some assistance. If you have any questions or want some advice, you can e-mail me. My advice: read the boards...you'll find yourself an expert in no time. I don't have time to write a long post of some tips for starting, but again, don't hesitate to e-mail. After 13...

    I've been gluten-free for 13 weeks, and I still get occasional symptoms, so I haven't dared to introduce dairy...I'm going to wait another three weeks, or so...it's not worth it

    Hi, First, because it's been mentioned a lot, Macaroni & Cheese: I've read about this tax deduction stuff and it seems rather complicated. I think you have to keep a spreadsheet of the stuff that you buy and compare prices. It doesn't seem worth it, especially when, at least for macaroni and cheese, there is an easy option. As someone already...

    I, too, am certainly not "TravelThomas", but when I went skiing, I never ate out. Recently diagnosed, and having been plagued with symptoms for years, I didn't trust the restaurants. As for telling the hotel.......if you clean up well enough and put your cooking gear in a suitcase or bag when maid service comes, you don't have to. Obviously, having...

    Hi...welcome to the board. If you intend to have a biopsy done, then you definitely should not begin the gluten-free diet. If you do eat less gluten, then your biopsy results won't be as accurate. This would also make eating on vacation a lot easier. If you aren't going to have a biopsy...then I would recommend starting the gluten-free diet soon, though...

    Yep...I just made my 30th this morning and it changed...thank you.

    What makes someone an advanced member. I realized that after enough postings I changed from a "newbie" to a regular member, but does it work the same way with advanced members? Thanks.

    Hi, First off, you can't know for sure if you're Celiac unless you get the blood test or, preferably, the endocopy. If you're going to get tested for that, keep eating the regular stuff that you feel could be giving you all these symptoms. However, if you aren't going to get tested, there's nothing wrong with a gluten-free diet. If it relieves your symptoms...
  16. celiac3270
    What test did you get done? Blood test or endoscopy? There are cases where the blood test finds you not to have Celiac, but the scope does, or the other way around. It could be that he said you have an intolerance because the blood suggested, but didn't strongly indicate Celiac, or something like that. If you had both tests done, then the doctor's probably...

    Hi...welcome to the board. I have had the symptoms of Celiac since first grade, but was only diagnosed 13 weeks ago. At first, for me, it seemed strange changing diet, and all the gluten-free foods didn't seem nearly as good as the normal stuff. You'll quickly become used to it...especially since you have others in your family with celiac disease. I guess...

    It could happen, eventually.....

    Hi, I've been gluten-free for nine weeks, now and my symptoms still aren't completely gone. I had occasional diarrhea, LOTS of bloating, gas, cramping, etc. and like you said, gurgling sounds. I am much less gassy and bloated, that part is almost gone. I have less diarrhea, but it can still come. As for my cramps, they are less severe and shorter, but...

    You can't tell. If you are still recovering and your intestines aren't yet healed, you can get your usual Celiac symptoms. Even if you're completely gluten-free, you can still get symptoms. If you've already recovered, then I don't know of any way to tell "regular" diarrhea from gluten/celiac symptom diarrhea.

    The nutritionist I recently went to works for an adult Celiac doctor. She said that if I use clay at school (I'm only 13) I shoud scrub my hands really well before eating something that my hands touch. She also said that Elmers glue is known to contain high levels of gluten. I just believed this to be true since she probably knows more about it than I...

    I've heard that there is gluten in a lot of places you wouldn't think of. I'll list what I know about, but if anyone knows another product that you wouldn't directly digest that contains gluten, please add it. From what I know gluten is in: - Glue - Clay - Playdough - The side of the stamp that you lick - The part of the envelop that you lick to...

    It depends. If you shop around, certain stores sell certain products for much less. In addition, if you buy the normal stuff in grocery stores it'll be the same cost, but if you start going to a lot of health food stores and buying things such as gluten-free bagels or gluten-free brownies it'll start racking up.
