Whats this about inflammation? Fish Sauce never really caused me trouble in the past. Regardless I will be sticking to a gluten free diet as I normally do and I guess its back to home made spanikopita for me.

Also to those above talking about health care I'm from Australia so I'm not so worried about increased expenses. 

Sorry for hijacking your post!

Yes, the Canadian article was about disability insurance, and I may be grandfathered into the company health plan (2006). I will check into that because it may make sense to go through Covered California to see if I can get a better deal. 

In any case, I recently checked on the premiums for extending my life insurance, and they would be sky high due to my age, celiac disease, as well as other fairly common and minor issues that are treated, like high cholesterol and slightly high blood pressure.

I will put a article on our list regarding health insurance in the USA.

Yeah, our life insurance is about to expire and we can not afford to extend it as we are old!  Our kid will be done with her undergrad by then  and she is on her own to live or get a Masters.  That was the plan.  Just enough so that we could stay home and regroup if one of us (or both) died, pay off the mortgage or help with college expenses.  Even though we saved for college we had no idea how much more expensive it would be compared to when we went to school.  What a rip off!  (I am talking about the gyms, climbing wall, nice landscaping, etc.)

Seriously check.  You can get Kaiser through Covered California.  Our kid had a Grandfathered plan (cheaper for her own plan that to put her on ours since we just have 1 kid).  Now, she has insurance through the university.  It was just easier in case she need healthcare while living on campus.  But then she came home!

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
