    Last weekend all 5 of us went to Hershey Park. What an experience to have with a celiac! We did search the official website for Hershey Park and was happy to see they offered a page listing all the ingredients of the food at the park. There was one place that had gluten free hamburger buns. Over all we did have a good time but worrying about what a person can eat and be at an amusement park is difficult. Mostly because the one of the best parts to being there is munching...

    As soon as the diagnosis of celiac disease came, the doctor told us he would refer us to a really good dietitian. We were very excited to get in front of her because we had so many questions. As with anything else, the more information you get the more you need so you can filter through it all. I found out that the insurance would not cover it. The plan only covered a dietitian for a diagnosis of diabetes. I could have waited until letters were sent and pre-authorization...

    Well, It has been 11 months since my hubby's diagnosis and what a ride. At first the doctor scared him straight...that lasted all of 3 months, and since then he has been going down hill and especially in the last 3 months. I cook gluten-free and then he hits a few Oreo cookies. YIKES! what is a person to do? If any of you have or had the same issue please give me some tips on how you handle it. I know the disease is his and he should take care of it, but let's be real here...

    Good Morning All! Well as good as it can be considering it is Monday. I have to tell you all how important a great support system is when it comes to celiac disease. As the only cook in my house for my husband I cannot tell you what a blessing it is to have friends and family who help you with this chore of love. We had a party to attend on Saturday and my friend went out of her way (it was her daughter's 13th b-day party) to make my husband the best pasta salad he has...

    Wow, I cannot believe that it is time to move onto 2010. Where the heck did 2009 go? What a year. I personally am glad to see it go and good riddance to it. It was a year of 3 brain surgeries for me and a celiac diagnosis for my husband. Honestly, I think I won out in the deal. The holidays have been hard in that it is difficult to replace all the g-full food. And let's be honest, my husband did not try too hard. He has fallen off the proverbial wagon big time. But...

    Good Morning Everyone,
    It has been sometime since I have checked in and for that I apologize. The gluten-free diet is going well but a little boring. I did discover a new product (well new to me). I was shopping at my local Redners a few weeks back. I was picking up the cookies my hubby likes. upon my arrival I noticed 2 men standing right in front of my (LOL) gluten free section of the aisle. I say mine because I never see anyone else standing there. I became very...

    Good Morning all, Sorry I have not written in a few days. We have be busy like all of you. Friday night my husband and I went to our favorite place to eat (since the diagnosis). Pizzeria Uno. The most fascinating thing happen. We were sitting there eating our food talking about what else, G-free eating, when all of the sudden the couple sitting in the booth behind ours said "you all are eating gluten free?" As it turned out her husband was diagnosed with many food...

    First thing this morning I read a post on the Open Original Shared Link regarding a husband who has celiac disease, while his wife does not. It was like reading about myself. Sometimes we may feel that the person in our lives who has celiac disease is not interested in taking a hand in the treatment. Like the wife in the post, I too find it to be very frustrating at times. But then I stopped and asked myself a tough question. Why am I doing this? "This" being doing all...
