    I'm really surprised that none of the dentists you saw didn't refer you to an orthodontist. To make a long story short, I saw a dr. for what I thought was an earache, was referred to the dentist, and on to the ortho. I received therapy, was fitted for a nighttime retainer, and everything is now fine. TMJ is a misalignment of the jaw. I don't think it has...

    Canyon Bakehouse recently came out with a sweet Hawaiian bread, similar to Hawaiian rolls. I haven't been able to find them yet. Has anyone?

    My brother found he had it about the same time I was diagnosed. His son was diagnosed this summer 4 years after us. Mom passed recently, but we are certain she had it now that we know much more about it. A second cousin was diagnosed at 1 yr. of age about 25 years ago. My daughter was tested this summer but I'm doubtful of her negative diagnosis - she...

    You've received a lot of good info from other posters. A few of my favorites, including those already mentioned, are: Glutino English Muffins - my niece discovered them! Yum! Ronzoni, Barilla, and Jovial pasta - Jovial egg noodles are great! Pamelas pancake mix Glutino or Kinnikkinick sandwich cookies (very similar to Oreos) Snyders...

    It's not really out of the U.S., but I'd consider Maui or Oahu. Both islands have a good variety of gluten free food options, including a few gluten free bakeries. I've had great success at both.

    They are gluten free. It's stated on their website.

    Not to be rude, but I seriously don't get all the doom and gloom about a celiac diagnosis. Maybe I live in a bubble, but I can't recall an instance where I felt put down, humiliated, was given disgusted looks, or felt I was being treated any differently than anyone else. If it's happening, it must be that bubble thing or I'm just oblivious to it. I can...

    I have used 3 or 4 different brands of braces wax without any problems. Two of the brands were purchased at CVS when I left the house without the wax I got at the orthodontist's office. No problem with any of it.

    It's unfair to make such a general statement about ER's and hospitals. Unfortunately, I've been to the ER several times and hospitalized three times in the past few years. The staff took me seriously when I told them I had celiac. Popsicles and drinks were checked for gluten, and a good laugh took place when a nurse came in to remove the cheesecake that...

    I love Aldi's gluten free bread and have never had a problem with it. Yes, they still make it, but it is hard to find lately. I found the bread, burger buns, and hot dog buns in Kentucky this weekend. The buns are honestly my favorite of all the brands I have tried. They show up at the stores sporadically, so my advice is to purchase as much as you can...

    I had the same problem long before I knew I had celiac. Restasis did not help me at all. I was referred to an eye specialist, and he was very helpful. He said to continue with Restasis, but I told him it was a waste of time. He told me that it doesn't work for everyone. He also gave me a Bruder Mask, which is an eye mask with beads in it that you warm...

    It's a salad dressing with balsamic dressing as an ingredient. I've never found straight balsamic vinegar that contains gluten.

    Schar Baguette is really good! My husband (not gluten-free) now prefers it over regular french bread.

    What Karen said! My sister and I eat them all the time without any issues. Any rich chocolatey candy will bother me a bit if I eat them on an stomach.

    I don't believe they would intentionally lie through their teeth about any product they offer. And, I wouldn't count on any barista knowing about the ingredients either. Starbucks policy is for the consumer to make those decisions on their own, and they will gladly let you read the labels. That's not being mislead; it's putting the responsibility on the...

    I don't have any problem with it.

    Has the doctor seen this rash? I used to get psoriasis on my arms after sitting at wooden picnic tables. I was given a concentrated cortisone cream that took care of it.

    I have similar symptoms. I've had two bowel surgeries in the past 7 weeks (dear God, one was enough!). Nothing really tastes right other than chocolate almond milk and plums. I'm doing my best to eat as I lost another few pounds that I can't afford to lose. My mouth has a constant burning sensation and my lips are so dry they are peeling. I make a point...

    Grilled pork chops, tomatoes, thai salad, and cantaloupe -

    This is similar to an entree at a wonderful gluten free restaurant in St. Louis. They call it breakfast rice - long grain brown rice, ham chunks, sausage, bacon, onions, red/green peppers. Season with coconut aminos and serve with a fried egg on top.

    Fried egg sandwiches, coconut curry soup, and cantaloupe

    I was on a very strict diet for months, also. And, when I could finally have a taste of chocolate it was bad news! It was months before I was slowly able to eat it again. Perhaps that is what is happening to you.

    I hardly doubt that Mars is oblivious to their ingredients. They have a reputation to protect. Perhaps you are becoming more sensitive and something else you ate earlier upset you, or you have developed additional food sensitivities. Always check label ingredients. You're also posting on a thread that's two years old, so you would need to recheck Mars...

    I would kill for an eclair!

    I am in luck this week! Visiting son and his dad are doing the cooking to give me a break. Son is making his famous chili today (minus the added can of beer), and they have a turkey that's been brining. Tomorrow, brother in-law is coming with the nephews, and he's not happy about the chili. He thought we should have the prime rib we had last year. Sorry...
