Man vs. Celiac: Atlanta Hartsfield Airport, Concourse C
These are the voyages of the Celiac Tom, continuing my mission to explore strange new restaurants and other eateries, to boldly go where no Celiac has gone before. I like to think of myself as a really resourceful guy – able to maneuver may way around nearly any obstacle. Since I just saw the new Star Trek movie, I might even confess to idolizing Captain Kirk’s solution to the Kobayashi Maru test. As I have learned from real trekkies, the Kobayashi Maru is a hellish simulation test for Starship Captain candidates that has no winnable outcome. Apparently the sadists at...

Gluten free dining: How to interrogate your server
Disclaimer: The writers of Celiac Bites assume no liability for any consequences related to the use of enhanced server interrogation techniques outlined below. Recently I wrote about Dying, I mean, Dining Out and the challenges of eating in restaurants safely. That got me thinking about the “usual” questions that I ask servers when I recklessly endanger my life eat out at restaurants. Here are a few ideas to get you started: Do you have any reason to want to harm me? Did I pick on you or any of your friends when I was in kindergarten or grade school? I...

Are YOU lying to ME?
Ooh ooh I know!! From Crest's Web site:
Though we don’t regularly test for gluten, the testing that has been done indicates there is no gluten in Glide Floss.
So pretty much no, but their lawyers probably made them word it like that.
Thank goodness because that's what I use and I hadn't even considered that floss would contain gluten!!!

Thank you Heather! First prize goes to you! Although we don't have any actual prizes....
I put this one up as most people would not think of something like dental floss as a potential hazard.
Thanks!

I am a non-celiac with an inability to poison myself (save by eating moldy potato salad). While I admit I know NOTHING of the celiac experience, as someone who writes gluten-free related articles for a GF website, it's very interesting to get more (and brutally honest) details about the experience. I guess I am a bit of an imposter, although I do try to write from the heart, research well, and write things that would interest me not just as a celiac, but as a person in general. I really appreciate what you've written here and I will be sure to follow you in the future! Best of luck with everything, sorry you went through 18 months of grief.

Thanks Alexandra! Glad to hear you are helping to educate people about Celiac disease. Let us know if we can ever help with research or background perspective on the articles you write.
Make sure to check the "born on" dates of your potato salad!
