Thanks, everyone, for your views. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone in this. On another note, I downloaded the radio show on Celiac called "Gut Reaction," from Audibles.com & gave it a listen. It's very moving & powerful, but left me confused. Everyone at the end of the show was saying that the gluten-free diet was a like a miracle...

Hi, I've had some weird things happen to me in the last month. Several weeks back, I got what looked like food poisoning, & wound up in the hospital, where I had to get rehydrated with an IV. So there was that, then a few days back, my fiance & I were on a road trip, when I started to get these waves of stomach cramps. They soon became terribly severe...

There's a Mexican fast food chain in LA called El Pollo Loco. They grill their chicken right in front of you, with no added bread crumbs or flour. I recommend them. angel

Hey Tifanny...I grew up in HB but now live in Virginia. I've heard that the city has undergone a lot of development in the last decade since I left... angel

I'm honeymooning in Yellowstone this July, and am pretty nervous about the food situation. Since it's a national park, I'm expecting nothing but concessions with hot dogs & hamburgers. Anybody here who's had any experience with gluten-free dining there? Thank you! Angel

Yesterday I bought some mascara by Loreal "Panoramic Curl", applied it, & by the end of the day my eyes were very irritated. I got all of it off of me, but my eyes were killing me all night long, they felt like sand was in them. Today, my eyes are two big puffy balls. I look terrible. I am glad I tried this stuff out now. I'm trying to find make up to...

Jill...I'm going to Yellowstone for my honeymoon & was interested in learning about some gluten-free restaurants there? Thank you! Angel

I just wanted to let everyone know that I found a bakery in Centreville, VA, that makes gluten-free wedding cakes! They're called Happy Eatery & can be found here: Open Original Shared Link angel

Can anybody help me to find a bakery in the Washington DC region that might be hospitable to doing up a gorgeous gluten-free wedding cake?? Thank you, angel

Thanks, everyone, for responding. It helps me so much to hear your views. Yes, I have been in therapy from time to time over the years, but I don't know how much good it has done. In response to the question of abuse, I wasn't really abused my parents, just neglected as they struggled with their alcoholism. I was, though, raped in 1993 by a serial rapist...

I am a 35 yr old female & have been strictly gluten-free since about last April. I'm not feeling much relief though. Over this past year, I have also weeded out other foods that I realized I was sensitive to, like corn, dairy, and soy. So here I am, leading a lifestyle like a monk. No alcohol, no smoking, & I exercise frequently. I eat fresh meat...

I went to Whole Foods in Falls Church, VA, yesterday, not knowing about the gluten-free bakery news, turned a corner & there ran into a 6 foot tall shrine to gluten-free baked goods. My jaw dropped, my eyes welled up & I stood there in stunned silence for a moment, then reverently began to explore the options. I looked over and noticed a couple of...

I bought a large Butterball turkey breast to cook for me & my boyfriend tomorrow. On closer inspection, I noticed 2 things. (1) Enclosed is a packet for gravy, containing wheat, & (2) the turkey itself comes soaked in a concoction including modified food starch (something we all should be very wary of). So, I'm off to Whole Foods for an organic turkey...

I'm 34 and drank liberally from age 19 up to about 8 months ago. At my boyfriend's urging, I gave up drinking completely then & found that my pain levels overrall went down. I had been gluten-free for several months before giving up the alcohol & after going gluten-free, my tolerance for alcohol went way down. I think that when we go gluten-free,...

Hmmm...maybe english was his second language? The other night, I went to a show at the Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis. At dinner there, I went through my gluten spiel to the waiter, who was polite in a militaristic manner, & who seemed eager to get things right. So we did the back & forth to the kitchen thing, and I placed my order. He asked if...
