    A great general description of Celiac Disease and a good starting point for anyone who wants to learn the basics. May just bookmark this for people I meet who don't know much about it (including my primary doctor!).

    It would be amazing if there were some real treatments for DH besides the potentially dangerous Dapsone. It's a rough one and so hard to keep under control. I literally live alone and do not eat out and still struggle even with all the interventions such as reducing iodine, strictly eating certified gluten-free foods when eating packaged foods (rare), avoiding...

    Of course, these are just my food choices - and I feel like you've made assumptions. I make my own mayo, and often dry my own fruit or use fresh fruit in my salads. Skip the bacon! I do my own veg stir fry - freshly chopped veg, ginger, herbs. My thai restaurant is strictly gluten free - gluten-free soy sauce, no gluten ingredients in the...

    I can see that - it's like a liquid/gel. I wouldn't bring peanut butter unless it was on a sandwich or crackers. I mean, if you brought a jar of mayo, soup, and it's bigger than the allowed size ,they're going to throw it out! I even dress my salads before i fly. And make a hearty salad that can handle it (kale, broccoli).

    All of the items i've listed are gluten free - I choose the gluten free versions.

    I have never had anyone at an airport throw out my food (they have re-inspected it, i just explain that's it my food because I have food allergies). I've travelled all over the US, Canada, Latin America and Caribbean with my celiac and lunch bag. And I take a LOT of food. Like enough for 24-36 hours. Here's what I plan for: in case my flight gets...

    But to be clear. I never eat at a restaurant unless they say they can accommodate me. And then, I pretty much never believe them and then I take up to 8 tablets if I’m sure they’re going to gluten me. I am pretty bad at advocating for myself and it’s on my next new year’s resolution. I just eat before hand and then take a few snacks in my purse -tonigh...

    I sure have. It’s a hard thing to confirm the positive effects. I take 8 tablets or less at a restaurant. I keep them in a baggie in my purse and decide if I should take any or all once I get to the restaurant that I think is safe and place the order and watch the staff. I just don’t know. It always feels like Russian roulette unless I’m at a strictly glute...

    Awesome! I love travel too and am a little glad that i got my diagnosis when travel wasn't possible so that I could adjust to a gluten-free life before heading out! My BF and I just did a 4 week trip to Miami, Bahamas, St. Thomas, St. Croix and back to Miami. We stayed in hotels sometimes, friends homes sometimes, airbnb sometimes. Made sure that all had...

    lovely - i love apples and dried cranberry in my salads. I just toasted some squash seeds from my butternut squash so i'll add those. The dressing sounds amazing - never thought to put fresh cranberries in my salad dressing. I don't have any but will add some fresh oranges instead until i can get some cranberries. Well done!

    Ain't that the truth. It's not identifying what foods have gluten - that's pretty easy (if you aren't sure what an ingredient is, don't eat it), it's when did I get exposed by mistake - was it that someone in my household used the gluten free sponge on their crummy plate after eating gluten toast? What is the restaurant who absolutely without question...

    I have been struggling too - our restaurants are still closed so no chance of eating food that I didn't personally cook. My Nutritionist recommended i take a fish oil supplement for the Omegas and I truly feel that even though I love the result of improving my omegas (hair, skin, energy) my DH is worsened by the iodine in it. When I stopped taking them for...
