Thanks for your responses. I went gluten free originally because I had been catching every virus I came in contact with, had suddenly lost 7 pounds in two weeks (which I couldn't afford to lose, I'm 5'6" and 110lbs), was anemic, and had had poor general health and horrible headaches for ten years with no answers from any doctors... then my boss suggested...

I posted this in the testing feed and nobody had an answer, so I thought I would try asking here. I would reall ylike to know the answer. I have been gluten free for about a year and a half, I never got tested and now I would like to. I know that I need to be eating gluten for at least six weeks befroe getting tested, but my question is how much gluten...

I have been gluten free for about a year and a half, I never got tested and now I would like to. I know that I need to be eating gluten for at least six weeks befroe getting tested, but my question is how much gluten do I need to eat? I am not super sensitive and don't have any reaction to a little bit of gluten, so if I was to eat say, one crouton a day...

It's not really related to celiac, but my mom had the same problem a few years ago and asked her hairdresser about it. Apparently we humans actually lose a lot more hair in the winter than in summer. Now that she made me aware of it, I notice that I start losing more hair around this time of year. It makes no sense, since you would think that we would...

I was wondering if anybody has a really yummy stuffing, gravy, or turkey recipe. This is going to be my first gluten free thanksgiving. I'm trying to embrace it and have fun making my own food. The funny thing is that I'm actually glad to have an excuse to bring my own food. My mother-in-law (whom I, thankfully, love dearly) makes rather flavorless turkey...

If any of you are thinking of going to Disneyland for vacation, definitely do it! My husband and I went there for vacation this week, and I was a little worried about having to eat out a lot (at home I only eat out maybe three times a month and always at the same restaurant that I know is safe). The first place we went was Pizza Port where Chef Leah actually...

I work at an optometrists office and I have learned that your vision can be affected by dry eyes. The drier they are, the more blurry your vision. Also, the burning can be allergies. Mine always feel like they are on fire right at my tear ducts. I use an over the counter allergy drop called Opcon A. It works better than anything else I've tried, including...

I know that Ensure is gluten free, it says so on the label. BUT it has tons of soy in it and started making me sick after drinking it for a couple of days, and I don't have a soy intolerance (that I know of). So maybe look into something else that doesn't rely so much on soy protein. Hope this helps.

I have a couple of totally unrelated questions. I know that I can get glutened by kissing my husband after he's eaten something with gluten in it, so my question is this: what can he do to clean it off? Does just brushing his teeth get rid of the gluten? If not, what does he have to do? Also, I know that I can get glutened by even just one crumb...

I was a runner too, until I got sick, lost weight and had absolutely no energy. I've been gluten-free for almost three months now, and I feel great. I am training for my first half-marathon in Sept. I have the same problem as you, I eat and eat and I'm just losing more weight. I have found that rice and beans are a great source of protein and carbs, and...

I am not officially hypoglycemic, but I have all the same symptoms when my blood sugar crashes. I always have some kind of gluten-free food on me. I have found that Clif Nectar bars are extremely portable and great for when I start to get hungry. Sharkies are great too, they are kind of like fruit snacks for athletes, but they are gluten-free and contain...

Hi, and welcome to the board. I am also fairly new to being gluten-free, but I have discovered a love of baking that I never knew existed. There is a lady named Bette Hagman who is referred to as the Gluten Free Gourmet. Any of her recipes turn out absolutely delicious. She has many different cookbooks out, I have the one on comfort foods and breads,...

Thanks, I think there is an Outback is right across from our hotel. We are staying at the Holiday Inn in La Mirada. I had completely forgotten about it. I'll definitely check out Bucca Di Beppo.
