I just heard today that we can't have High Frutose Corn Syrup. Is this right? I am prob. asking a dumb question but I just didn't know that until today. Can anyone help?

I haven't heard this. I drink WAY too much soda, and never have a problem with the high fructose corn syrup in it. I know for sure it isn't healthy, but other than that I think it's okay...?

That's wrong. HFCS is gluten-free, although it's not a bad thing for everybody to avoid when they can.

Well, that's good news. I'll have to let my friend know.....she said she notices when she eats things with it in it, she feels bad (throws up, etc etc). I told her I noticed I've been having headaches but didn't know why (since I watch EVERYTHING I eat but after she told me about that, I thought it might be that??). I have one more for you, what about hersheys kisses...those bother my stomach?

Although hfcs does not contain gluten, it causes me symptoms because I'm sensitive to corn. Perhaps your friend is, too? Hershey's Kisses are gluten-free, but contain milk products, so that may be upsetting your stomach.

High fructose corn syrup is really bad for you. If it gives you headaches and makes you feel bad you should avoid it. Actually all people should avoid it anyway. Food companies use it because is so cheap for them. Here's some info:

HFCS does not contain gluten, but some people react badly to it. It can be particularly problematic for people with blood sugar control issues.

Since y'all have been SOOO helpful...got another for you. I now react to Sulfites (such as, in wines, etc). Any idea why? I've never had a problem with them until about a year ago...I now turn very red, my face gets VERY hot...and it stays that way for a while...It's so strange???

It's just something that some people react to. You can develop a reaction to it at any time - like any other sensitivity. (BTW, I've heard that organic wines are better, sulfite wise. I don't drink wine, and am not sulfite sensitve, so don't know personally, just from friends who are sensitive.)

Thanks Tiffany! I'll have to try that. I'm not a big drinker (maybe a glass of wine a month) but I do occasionally like to have one but I get to embarrassed when I go out and turn SOO red. I would love to find something else....and I don't normally drink mixed drinks or of course not beer...(since we can't) so I'm pretty limited.

There are many sulfite free, organic wines.

But I have yet to find one that tastes good, not state side anyhow.

For the most part, they all taste like dirty socks :unsure:

Great! Thats not good!! I've got to find something....the only wine I've tasted was one that my uncle had that was VERY VERY old and didn't contain sulfites....it tasted like I had just eaten a grape. It was ok but def. a dessert wine...not a drinking wine. It only a little bit was ENOUGH! If anyone knows one to try, please let me know! I'm up for the challenge!! :blink:

Vida Organics (not domestic but Whole Foods carries it) makes some pretty do-able

wines - Malbec Rose is my favorite. Also, some of the Badger Mountain

wines are not bad.

Domestic wine makers add sulfites to wine so that the shelf life

is longer. So if you buy organic wine - older is not necessarily

better.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Is it gluten?

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.
