How do you manage your social life?
chocominties replied to Raquel2021's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I end up not having one, more or less. Ha ha. Gluten makes me violently and severely ill, which makes me fully immune to peer pressure. But it wasn’t always like that. I would be agreeable and go out to eat at places that claimed to have a gluten-free menu, or I would eat home cooked foods that seemed safe. Then I almost wound up in the hospital. ... -
Disappointed At Chipotle - What Should I Expect?
chocominties replied to Nikki2777's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
It's not really saying that their chips aren't gluten free. It's saying that corn isn't necessarily gluten free. Corn. Not *their* corn. Corn in general.

I got some of the Aldi gluten-free bread last week. I find that the size of a slice is about 1/3 bigger than Udi's, but the loaf really does only have about 10 slices. I can get Kinnikinnick for $3.89 at a local store, so $3.99 for only 10 slices isn't a great deal. However. I've had some bad luck lately with Udi's and Kinnikinnick and Rudi's.... -
Fat is difficult for the body to process, and an inflamed gut is going to have even more difficulty. I see a lot of folks blame gluten for bad GI symptoms after they went to a restaurant where they consumed a large quantity of high-fat food. Fatty food is delicious, yes, but it doesn't need to contain gluten to make you sick. Personally, I also get...
