I have two kids but the youngest (17 mo. ) is the one with the possible Celiacs (not DX by docs yet) I changed his diet because he had been sick for 4 months. At the begining i started with a couple of things (1 week) but then threw everything glutened in my pantry away (which was almost everything!!) And went and bought everything gluten free with the exception of cheze it for my 7 yr old daughter. When we started the diet I told my daughter that before giving my son anything she needed to ask me first. We had her glutened snacks for school in a lower latched cabinete and told my daughter that she could eat anything she wanted with gluten at school and outside the house. well, my hudini like son somehow got in to the cabinete and ate some cheze its and that was the end of that!! Now we are completly gluten free and my daughter doesnt care. She eats gluten free pasta and gluten free everything and she likes it very very much! It's become second nature in three months for all of us and she really doesn't miss it. She even has her sandwiches on gluten free bread for her lunch at school!!

Our house is 90% gluten free now (with the exception of some of hubby's snacks) but when it wasn't all the gluten was out of reach for my girls and they had a "safe snack cabinet" that had healthy gluten free stuff for them. That way they could get their own snacks and I didn't have to check everything every single time.

Also, I don't keep gluten in my fridge at all so everything in there is safe (except for Daddy's butter that has a big red X on the lid in marker)

We have a mixed lot around here...my son and I are gluten-free but everyone else isn't. I spent most of this year with 2 extra students home schooling at my house, and ended up making tons and tons of gluten PB&J's for them...I think this has really effected my health because I have been really up and down but I've been very careful about what I eat myself. I am just about ready to cut everyone off the gluten and go completely gluten-free, that way I'd at least know if I'm getting CC'd or if I may have some other problem in addition to the gluten. It should be easier this summer since the students won't be here.

Other than my husbands breakfasts and lunches which include regular bread and non gluten-free deli meat, everything else is gluten-free.

Hershey's Kisses are gluten-free.

Hershey will clearly disclose gluten sources in the ingredient list, so if you don't see wheat, rye, barley or oats mentioned, the product is gluten-free.

I don't have the package anymore and I'm starting to react to something so I was worried about eating them today.

Floridian,

How do you do with soy. They may have soy lecithin in them. I know chocolate chips and carob chips do.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
