    Because I think the moral thing to do is inform the parents that quotes from their kids will be posted online. I include the option to message me because some parents prefer to not post about their children publicly. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t violate any self promotion since my blog’s name/my full name isn’t stated. Like if someone mentions they wo...

    I'm not religious at all, but I was really upset when the pope totally rejected gluten free wafers. I love what is written above - God/Jesus would not want anyone to get sick. I hope more churches offer totally gluten free options for those who need it.

    Hi! I want to make sure I don't break any self promotion rules. Is this an acceptable post since I do not mention my blog's name and do not include any links? I've been a member of this forum for years. "Hey parents - I'd like to put together a list of positive quotes from kids with Celiac. Quotes will be posted on my blog anonymously (I'm not including...

    Thank you so much for your advice! I'll try some of your suggestions. Unfortunately, I think I'll be skipping the dermatologist if I can manage. Super high deducible means i'd be paying out of pocket

    This is the second time this has happened over the past 2 months. I've developed some very dry skin that starts at the base of one ear and wraps down/under/around my entire jawline. It's not my entire neck - it mostly wraps in a line around my face. My makeup/brushes never touch that area and I haven't changed facial products recently, so I'm totally puzzled...

    Well, that is just wheat. Their bars/squares might be wheat free, as well, but the culprit there is barley. Also I just got this reply: For legal reasons the information that has been provided is the only information we are authorized to provide you with. To reiterate, our products are not certified as being gluten free. FDA requires...

    Hey guys, I emailed Ghirardelli to ask about their updated allergen information because I had heard that people stopped recommending most of their products. I was specifically asking about their chocolate chips because my understanding is that they are free of gluten and not made on the same lines as that one bar/square that contains barley. This is...

    I've talked about my experience on this board before. My boyfriend at the time of my diagnosis was terrible. He refused to believe that I was sick, didn't want Celiac Disease to exist, didn't care if I got glutened because of his behavior, and threw a fit if I ever tried to have a discussion about my needs. Even with issues not regarding Celiac, it was...

    No, Celiacs can never tolerate gluten. I've heard of people saying that they have "Light Celiac" or "Mild Celiac". There is no such thing. Celiac is Celiac. Even the smallest amount of gluten will affect you. What does vary is the type of reaction in terms of symptoms. Some people will have a very strong outward reaction to the tiniest amount of gluten...

    There could also have been some CC with the buckwheat, rather than the buckwheat itself.

    Loving fall recipes! Sometimes I wish I could just stay home all day and bake and eat....and bake and eat. again....

    I love Lara Bars, but if you look on the label they don't have very much protein. Too bad, otherwise I'd eat them more.

    I've always been very well organized and wanting to do things the right way. At work, I would be the one who closed up and didn't have a problem until a few months before my diagnosis. I felt like I started developing more anxiety about it. Even if I knew I already locked something up, I would be afraid that something would happen to mess things up while...
