One thing that I wish I had learned at the doctor's office was look for gluten in things besides food. Soaps, Shampoos, Lotions....etc.

Also watch for CC (cross contaminiation) meaning crumbs on countertops, or wooden spoons, toasters...etc.

Hope that helps

If you're having a bad day because your family is eating cake and you're not (haha, speaking from experience, of course), a trip down to your local health food store might get you some good results. Occasionally, places will stock gluten free cakes or cookie mixes. I once found gluten free cinnamon buns; I think I cried from joy. Coffee is another thing that makes me feel a bit more normal, although I'd stay away from most flavored coffees and teas and such. But it definitely makes things better to have a pick-me-up, believe me!!

Use your sudden urges to your benefit...... you will get a sudden urge for the oddest things...... in my case a peanut butter sandwich (I always hated those) use the energy to find a safe gluten-free solution to get you thru it......

want chocolate chip cookies, search online or locally and find some that are gluten-free

You ARE stronger than you think and your willpower is strong, dont give in cause its so not any fun!

hi there. some tips..
chips will be your anchor to sanity.
try making stuff with corn meal as a wheat replacement.
stuff form ener-g is good.
and by the way most sodas have wheat or milk.

and with people, if you're at a birthday party where people don't know about your allergies,
just take a slice of cake on your plate and talk so much to people you don't have to eat it.
then throw it away or offer it to someone else.
always eat before you leave to go somewhere!
make sure who ever you tell about your allergies will be okay with it and not make fun of you.

remember, what ever you do, you'll never get used to it
but you'll learn to live with it.
