Celiac Disease Support Group
Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients.

Watch out for IHOP's omlets. They put pancake batter in their omlets. I asked for a real egg omlet with out the batter, and exsplained that I had an allergy. When I had eaten almost all of the omlet I rolled it over to find my eggs looked like a pancake. The cooks put a scoop of batter in my omlet after the waitress told them not too. I am paying for it now. I have been sick and bloated with horrible gas and diarrhea. Eating out is really hard, because you don't know what goes on in the back with your food.

I only eat poached eggs when we go out to breakfast. I tell them to use a clean freshly washed sauce pan with fresh water to poach my eggs. I tell them that I could die from this disease. (WHich I nearly did.) That usually gets their attention enough so that I get a GF meal just the way I ordered it. Also, I always speak to the manager to ask if they feel that they can meet my need for a GF meal. Talking to the manager gets the attention of the wait staff and most will talk with the cook/chef to ensure that I get good food.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
