Hi Mandy, you can add me - I'm new at gluten free, but I'm pretty creative when it comes to food and like to experiment.

I am newly discovered celiac's and my diary is open to friends. Any of y'all are welcome to add me!

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2011; have been gluten free for just a little over two years! Feel free to add me, I love having friends who are gluten free to talk to

You can add me, also. I, too, am still new to this lifestyle change.

I just saw this but anyone feel free to add me also. I'm off gluten, due to an autoimmune disorder, since Dec 2011.

I've been gluten free for about 14 months. Feel free to add me

Anyone, please feel free to add me! I fell off the wagon at the end of my pregnancy, now I'm a week post partum and I'm getting back to it

Should add that I'm gluten free due to the Hashi's

pretty new to GF...add me too!!!

HI,
Can I be added to this too?
Much Love
Claire

Hi all!
I've been gluten free for 5 years now. Feel free to add me also

hi my name is Julie I have been gluten free for about 10 years now my biggest struggles have been family and friends around me who have not understood what it means to be gf now I have been truly blessed with a spouse who helps maintain a wheat/gluten free environment for me and eats gf himself :happy: fitness pal I tried then gave up now I am back willing to ask for support and hopeful to be supportive to others ..I am not sure how to make my profile open for the groups to see ..if someone can let me know if it is or not and how to open for u all to see let me know ....

I am gluten "free" ,but just the past 2 months and am having a difficult time with my meals. Just feel trapped in a place where no one really cares enough to help me through the first of it all.

Gluten free due to celiac. Diagnosed in June 2011. My diary is open. Feel free to add me. I do have to preface that I do not take kindly to gf fad dieters. I am gf because I have to be and I feel that fad dieters take away from the seriousness that those of us who really NEED to be gf. We deal with medical issues and get very sick from gluten (at least I do anyway). *down from my sopabox (for now lol)*

Good evening All... I am vegetarian (thyroid disease) and have Celiac disease since August of 2013. Still working my way thru this, and hoping this is going to be blessing in disguise some how. So far unfortunately I gained 10+ pounds since August, but started watching my calories and exercise again to see if I can control or loose some weight as well. Please feel free to add me, my diary is shared. I would love to add friends who share their diary and help me keep motivated.

Good luck all.

Thanks

To a degree, I agree completely. Our house is GF because when it's not, my daughter is sick. There's no "fad" involved. Bread? Sick. No bread? Healthy. Why anybody would WANT to be GF, just for fads and jollies, to be honest, baffles me. Especially with a 9yo kid, it is simply hard as hell. I'd do anything to end the need for my daughter's GF lifestyle.

But to a degree, I disagree completely. The more people who go GF, whether they need to or not, the more demand there is for GF foods out there. I don't know how the rest of the GF world does it, but in our house, cooking for a GF 9yo, substitutions are critical. I cried tears of joy the first time we found a GF bread she liked. To this day, when we go out and about we throw a bun in a ziplock baggie and take it with us, in case we stop for cheeseburgers. And life became so much easier when we found GF brown rice pasta. And don't even get me started on the rays of sunshine that GF brownies and cupcakes shined into our lives. Just yesterday, she and I were at a group run and afterward, the sponsors made GF pancakes. If these things (and all the others, for that matter) became available partly because some fad dieters moved on from raspberry key tones and green detox juices and landed in the GF aisle? Hey. More power to them. They're helping us out. I don't have to understand, or agree with them to enjoy the results of their going GF. If that makes sense.
