Hi! I am the son that SomaDee was talking about....

wow thanks a lot lol. yea like i said, ive got my own apartment and stuff in Polo Club, just off campus. And i love the stadium, thats one reason im going there haha. but thanks for the information on the dining halls, i had a hard time eating at orientation which completely put to rest my fear of living off campus without a meal plan.

oh and just so you and whoeverelse might know, when i contacted FSU about arranging food and such for me, they said that they could arrange it, but i would have to meet with them once a week to plan when and what i wanted to eat. they didnt promise clean equipment, and i had to bring my own food. When I asked about having a private kitchen and bathroom, they said they might be able to put me into a townhouse-type dorm or the student family dorms. that means i would of either been in a place with couples and people with kids, or in a townhouse with all upperclassmen.

but i forgive them for their mistakes because i love tallahassee and fsu so much and cant wait to go there.

thanks again for the info.

Hi, I and my wife are from Pensacola, FL, and both have Celiac's... unfortunately, mine manifested with itchy inflamed spots of skin that make me miserable.

However, my whole family has it, my Grandmother was diagnosed with Gluten Enteropathy YEARS ago, for as long as I've known she has subsisted on rice cakes, corn , and the like. Only now are we being blessed with normal tasting alternatives for her, and us. So, as more and more of us show symptoms, or just leave wheat behind to avoid it, we swap recipes very very often.

This year, we're gonna aim for as many Gluten Free choices as we can. We've noticed that the new lack of processed foods in our diet has been great, the food is actually so much better, and not feeling sick is GREAT. Not to mention the weight loss.

But anyway, if you're from the Panhandle area, hit me up, I'd LOVE to talk.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
