    I have a total of six children, three who have Celiac. My oldest (30 years old) was recently diagnosed. She is very unhappy about it to put it mildly. I have a feeling my youngest daughter (24) will be next, though she is in complete denial and refuses to get the test done. Living with Celiac disease really doesn't bother me. It's a royal pain when going...

    My 13 year old son, two adult daughters and myself have Celiac. My husband and 18 year old son do not. It's been an ongoing debate with us. Can a non-celiac person who follows a gluten-free diet, develop gluten sensitivity? So they follow our gluten-free diet, but on ocassion eat gluten. Can they develop gluten sensitivity? I think gluten sensitivity is a...

    Geeze I almost forgot about the outside grill, duh. Thanks for the reminder. Ennis, good idea with the butcher paper, its cheap and easy cleanup. ?

    We are staying in a cabin for a week. It is fully stocked with food, spices, kitchen supplies, everything you might have in your own kitchen at home. It is only used maybe three months out of the year. I am bringing my own kitchen stuff (skillets, serving spoons, bowls etc) and of course our own food. I am wondering what else I need to do to avoid cross contamination...

    Awesome you found your triggers! My niece is on the diet you mentioned. Keyto I think. I fibd the pain follows before or after abdominal rumbling and moved down as the day passed. It def hurts way down low on the left when a bm is coming. If it keeps up Ill have my doc refer me to a GI. Thanks for your input. ?

    I forgot to ask if you have the off and on stabbing pains with your UC.

    Celiac wasn't enough, your body had to throw in UC. Ugg. I will keep a good diary starting now. I never had this problem before, which is why I'm wondering if the constant expose to the cooking oil where I work is the problem. I did end up with the other symptom of being glutened, the worst migraine I've had in years.

    I know that feeling, racking your brain trying to figure out what you are. It can be maddening! Even worse for you that your symptoms vary. Very frustrating.

    I got up today feeling horrible. Super tired, no energy at all, cold, weak. Took my hubby to his appointment. I had to go to the bathroom, a normal b.m., but with blood. An hour later I got off and on stabbing pains below my ribs to my belly button. No pattern to them at all. My upper abdominal area seems very noisy, and that's usually when the pain happens...

    Squirmingitch, I am beginning to agree that eating out is playing Russian Roulette. Its the most upsetting thing about the diagnosis. I LOVE eating out. We don't do it very often, its expensive so its a treat when we do. I love not having to cook, trying new dishes. How upsetting the chef you had wasn't careful and didn't follow instructions. There are people...

    I just realized someone said there is a test kit to see if your food has gluten. That's awesome!

    You guys are awesome!! Thank you for your help. This is a local family owned place. I think I will just do like you all suggested and just bring my own food. Its my first time doing this, but if I act like its not a big deal, everyone will hopefully take a cue from me and will not freak out about it and ask me a million questions. Ill have to try PF Changs...

    My adult daughter and I were both recently diagnosed with Celiac. We have a big family dinner at a local Chinese restaurant coming up. Are we stuck with plain rice, and maybe stir fried veggies? I have no idea what questions to ask, who to ask, how to be certain they didn't cross contaminate the food, or what to eat. We dont want to cancel because this is...
