Good! Because I'll probably be drinking that for Christmas dinner instead of wine! Alcohol doesn't go along with my system at allllllllll anymore!

By the way, is ALL soda gluten free? Including coke, sprite, diet sodas, etc.?

Thanks :rolleyes:

Pepsi soft drinks are gluten free

Coke soft drinks are gluten free

Sprite is made by one of the companies above and it gluten free...their diet sodas are gluten free too(I stay away from them because of the artificial sweetener)

You have to watch out for off brands though because they may not be gluten free

You bring up a good point - communion. This Sunday will be my first communion since discovering I can't "cheat" by having even little bits of gluten. I usually take the smallest crumb I can find, but I think I shouldn't do that now. Hmmm... I wonder if we can get some gluten-free communion bread. The Ener-G brand has soy, which I am terribly allergic to. So, do you just pass the bread by?

You should call and ask your church if they have other alternatives. I know my church uses rice wafers and my uncle is a pastor and he had several members approach him about gluten-free so he switched to the rice wafers that were gluten-free. Good luck!

You can also make your own. Do a quick search of this site for Matzoh bread or communion wafer recipes.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
