Sadly, my area of the world does not particularly accommodate Celiacs even when the restaurant is supposed to offer gluten-free options.  Cross contamination is rampant and almost to be expected.  It's particularly frustrating as your c...

There are a few other options Siete Foods makes grain free gluten free chips. I think other companies make rice versions and I know Beanitos used to make some.

I work in the airline industry, and I can attest that someone with Celiac Disease (like myself) cannot trust the airlines to take care of our health needs. 
Unfortunately the Flight Attendants are not equipped, nor aware of the ...

Table 4 in Market Square. I've eaten safely at Babalou's, which has great food.

I used the app "Find Me Gluten Free" and discovered a wonderful restaurant in Chattanooga, TN called "Bantam and Biddy". The app allows users to rate celiac friendliness and comment on their experiences. I was floored that Bantam and...

Smooth stainless steel pans can be cleaned.  The concern is mainly scratched nonstick pans or other pans where gluten could remain in scratches or other rough spots.

Dr. C., you are on the money.  When they put in the computer (the "elecronic medical record"), I knew I was done for.  I can write legibly faster than I can type.  I still feel the doctor should not be typing while examining the patient, e...

I was diagnosed with celiac disease within a month after having post-prandial stomach discomfort for 3 or 4 months.  The diagnosis was made by upper endoscopy with biopsy of the duodenum.  The referral to a gastroenterologist was made a...

You are perfectly free to be fearful and reactionary against a potential celiac vaccine. Whether you try such treatment or not is entirely up to you. However, the fact is that, if the treatment works as described, many people with celiac...

Remember, just two out of seven people tested could identify gluten symptoms. That's almost 30%, so about 3 in 10 can tell, according to this test. Still, most would be regularly mistaken. Interesting indeed.
 

I do not have any symptoms when I eat gluten, only found out because of a blood test and I wasn't absorbing any vitamins. They gave me supplements for a year and when tested results were lower, that's when they tested me for celiac and...

The one thing I am not is a doormat, but I have friends who are and I will often stand up for them when in public.  You are so right when saying you must be polite but firm.  One of the associate pastors at the church told me had keeps g...

I think the article incorrectly states "To have these inconvenient misunderstandings, people must first have some idea that celiac disease exists, and that a gluten-free diet is part of it."   I think the problems is that people know n...
