Does anyone know if we can use the Flexible Spending Account medical card to purchase gluten free food? If I can where would I shop online?

I read that the food is tax deductable if you have a dr's diagnosis...but I don't know about FSA's. You should ask the insurance adminstrator.

Hi TiffJake,

Don't want to change the subject at all. But just noticed your bio. Where and how did you get the Lame Advertisement test accomplished. Have a doctor who suggested it, but have been having a hard time finding someone who knows anything about it. Thanks!

Hey, I typed Lame Advertisement test and it came up something else. What's with that???

This forum automatically replaces certain strings of characters with others. So if you type "celiac disease" in a thread title, it will replace it with "Celiac Disease", as this will improve the search engine status on that keyword for the site. But if what you really meant was "Compact Disk", it's going to be a little hard to understand the new title.

So it also replaces certain character strings with the phrase "lame advertisement", such as certain service providers that tend to be a source of spam, even though the particular link may be legitimate. Probably something like that happened here.

I belong to another board that replaces certain less common character strings with animated smilies. So 'kat' is replaced with a bouncing cat, which makes it impossible to type several common female names.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
