Yeah, I've had my wacked-out moments too. One night I made "assemble-your-own" tacos for supper & set out flour shells along with corn. I had about a dozen carefully-prepared fillings in bowls arranged around the table. My husband took his flour tortilla in hand &, ignoring the spoons, proceeded to stick his gluteny fingers into all the bowls. You may have heard my scream across the pond! It traumatized my kids & they're 19!

You too !! I kid you not, the same thing happened to me a week ago... I just want to scream sometimes. My family knows the deal and they really really are wonderful and supportive. But I think I'm going to snap. How do you handle the cans and the many many can'ts I'm so overwhelmed I'm not sure I can take this sometimes, any suggestions? There is so-oo-oo much to re-learn.... I get to the point some days where I just don't eat. I know thats bad but it seems almost impossible to find time to cook for me never mind find decent recipes. My best friend and older sister made me corn bread recently and I cried. Can you believe it I cried about corn bread. It was like someone had given me gold.

Any ideas you'd be willing to share would be a blessing..

This is so insane...... I'm fairly new to this wonderful new world of can't. I hate to sound negative but does it ever get better ??? I never even considered reading bacon incrediants. My stomach thanks you for the tip.

Thank you for sharing. I too was diagnosed recently and have actually run into quite a few people who are celiac's as well. I also experienced your symptoms. They seemed to start years ago, but of course the doctors have always treated each complaint as a seperate illness. I most recently went though almost 6 months of nausia, stomach blotting and hours of bathroom visits daily. My doctors referred me to a specialist who intern tested me for Barrets..... my specialists thank God came back with a negative to that but then told me my stomach was overproducing acid and of course handed me prescriptions and of course a mound of samples and told me to figure out what hurt my stomach and stop eating it. Sad right!... My father had suggested that maybe it was a reaction to gluten, he had been reading everthing he could to help me. Turns out he was right. My doctor tested me and here we are.......... I guess listening to our parents even at our age is still important. Anyway thank you again for sharing. Please share any recipes you may come up with, I'm sure that in your career you must be experimenting by now.
