Has anyone used the glutenfreemeals.com for prepackaged gluten free food delivered to your home? It looks interesting and the descriptions sound yummy, but I'm a bit skeptical on how good they really are. Any critiques would be most appreciated! thanks.

Thank you, Leah, for sharing more details about your diagnosis and Dr. K. I have written my mother-in-law's primary physician, begging him to learn enough about celiac disease so that he will at least question her about how well she is sticking to the diet. If he doesn't come through, I will be collecting all of her medical records and we'll give Dr. K...

Hi Leah in Raleigh, I haven't heard anything from my post in a number of days. Maybe your post is the answer to my prayer today! Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. How did Dr. Kohagen diagnose you (i.e. blood test, biopsy etc.)? Also did he talk in depth about the diet changes you need to make...

She is a widow and I cook gluten free for her and my family every night and send leftovers home with her to eat for lunch the next day. Unfortunately, everything truthful that she has learned about celiac disease...

The GI told her that she couldn't stay on the gluten free diet for a prolonged period of time because she would waste away. He then rattled on about how some people could tolerate more gluten than others, some, he said, were highly sensitive and couldn't be in the same room with flour while others are not so sensitive. I know there are different levels...

I'm needing a recommendation for a knowledgable doc in Raleigh, NC area. This is for my mother-in-law whose GI diagnosed her with possible celiac in Nov. 2004. We learned over the telephone, but knew something about the disease because of a friend who has it. We immediately made the changes, emptied her pantry and eleminated gluten from her diet. Within...
