If your anything like me you’ll like them! BJ’s Wholesale Club has the best price I get them by the case! It’s cheaper to do that than buying the four pack or singles!

I think the problem is a misunderstanding of the word 'healed' here - there is no cure for Celiac. Healed only means that the villi have gotten back into the shape that they are supposed to be. But they are not the cause of the Celiac, just a symptom. The cause is the auto-immune disorder. So, even with 'healed' villi, you still have Celiac and any gluten will knock those villi flat again.

While I respect the experience of those who never eat out as a safety precaution, depending on where you live, you may be able to find restaurants that are very aware of cross-contamination and while not 100% safe to eat at, quite reliable (fast food is difficult, though). You can't cheat (why would you want to?), but you can eat something alongside your non-gluten-free friends. I live in a very gluten-free-aware city and eat out a lot (too much!). In 11 years since my dx, I've probably been glutened two or three times in restaurants. I know some may say that's too much, but it truly is rare.

Also, look up best practices for a shared kitchen, including having your own toaster (or using toaster bags) and a strict no double dipping rule on condiments, etc.

I recommend using reviews, Find Me Gluten Free app, Facebook groups for your area, and asking a lot of questions at a restaurant to figure out if they know what they're doing.

Good luck!

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication.

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully...
