I've been eating McCann's as well. I looked at their website and it didn't make me nervous since they pretty much stick to oatmeal. Quaker makes EVERYTHING, so I don't even want to try their stuff. I usually eat the instant stuff, and I stopped eating some of the flavors just because I have no idea what those are. So far I've only noticed that I feel funny after those instant flavors but I've had oats in other places like Luna bars and I felt ok. I'm still new at figuring out what makes me feel bad though.

hey guys im doing much better now. ive felt a lot of withdrawal since coming of gluten. i went accupuncture for my 3rd time today. they say after the 5th i will feel and see the benefits.

did you know that grains at all may not even be good for us in the long term?

apparently only birds are capable of digesting grains. even rice may cause us bad digestion so im going to avoid even the non gluten gluten grains as much as possible.

when the immune system is stronger will it fight away any parasites or other things while eating lot's of parasite killing herbs like cumin caraway etc. oh by the way everytime i eat cinnamon i sneeze after a while. ive cut it out for two days now and guess what no more everyday sneezing. i ate cinnamon on a lot of things.

oh one more thing i found out that you can rid your body of worms by eating a piece of jaggery in the morning first thing then 5 minutes later eat a tea spoon of caraway seed and it should purge them out. just thought id share

Can those dark circles come from anything else besides food intolerances and allergies? I suggested the gluten-free thing to my friend last week because he's been out sick a lot in the last six months. He's always had major dark circles (worse than anyone I've ever seen) as long as I've known him. It turns out that his mother had to start a gluten-free diet this year! I probably got it right, but I'm curious if anything else can cause those circles.

I have had circles under my eyes my whole life. I'm not sure if I have Celiac yet, but I'm kind of hoping I do since I will know what is wrong with me. I don't know if I can take years of trying to find out what is wrong. My DS also has dark circles under his eyes, but you can't see them as much because his skin is a little darker than mine.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?

      Okay went online to check green mountain k cups .It was said that the regular coffees are fine but they couldn’t guarantee cross contamination.with the flavors. im trying to figure out since I eliminated the suyrup so far so good. I’m hoping. thanks it feels good to listen to other people there views.

      Thank you I will i have been on a strict gluten free diet ever since I got diagnosed but sometimes places lie about there food so there r some things that do get contaminated which causes me to throw up on end for several hours until I can't hold myself up anymore
