gluten-free diet.  As always, Gluten-Free Living is packed with material that
will help you live a happy, healthy gluten-free life.

A contributor to this listserv described the last Gluten-Free Living
conference better than we can ourselves. Here is some of the message:

The best thing I have done is attend the Gluten-Free Living conference......I
learned at the conference not to worry about vinegar, carmel color and other
mysterious ingredients. I look at ALL information, read ingredients, contact
manufacturers and then make a personal decision about the product. ...
       I heard the experts at the conference talk about drinking wine and
eating plain vanilla ice cream. They ate out at restaurants. They didn't
stress. They didn't panic. If they made a mistake, they moved on. The disease
did not cripple them emotionally. It no longer consumed their lives...
       I strongly recommend going to a conference like the one I
attended...especially for those newly diagnosed. Beware: There is a lot of
old information out there.  I'm happy to report that we are a lot less
stressed and my daughter's blood tests from last week were normal. Hurray!

From our perspective, the best part of the conference in Philadelphia was
meeting and talking to so many celiacs. After months and months of planning,
we had the best time, too! We hope to meet you in San Diego.
