I think it's good to have all this information. If I know that a product is supposed to be gluten-free, but people have reacted to it, I'm going to approach it differently than if no one has ever reacted to it, than if I have no information on it. It's all useful information in it's nuances.

Tiffany -- I think you're right. I do the same thing. In my case, I don't HAVE a typical "gluten reaction" . . . therefore, when someone says they've had trouble with something (like Amy's with CC), then I eliminate it. I have no options when it comes to ingesting gluten. Therefore, I like to see the discussions and who has found out what information. I think the people on this board do a fantastic job of fact-finding, and I always go with the most conservative opinion. If someone says they've had a reaction, then someone else says, "Hey, me, too" . . . that's it for me -- no more. But again, I have few options.

Beverly -- as for me, I like peas. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

my dear Vincent- I find it hard to believe that anyone would hate you. Really, you have a heart of gold and you're a goof (hey- it it is far better to be LAUGHED at than yelled at!). People laugh AT me all the time- in fact the head of my advisory committee for my PhD accused me of being a spaz yesterday :ph34r: Hi- Welcome to the Northeast educational Conference. I am Dr. Beverly Spaz. :rolleyes: And one of my co-workers called me a "valuable loose cannon". Hope that makes YOU feel better!

I had to say something....I was actually just cruising around the site and found this post!

Now I am a youngster here on the forum but being close to my 21st b-day I consider myself an adult......

To the original poster of this thread.....I concur that this is a place for "information", sympathizing, and levity in a life of discomfort. Sometimes though some of us are shocked at a person listing a product as totally gluten-free when we know that it specifically says it is not. This often results in a heated reaction fearing for the safety of the other members of the forum going off and trying a product and possibly making friends with their toilet for the next few days. :rolleyes::D Yes some people are vehement, but you cannot go in with your little brain gnomes and rewire their brain to be more open minded. ^_^ Some people only know what they have experienced and are not aware that other people may be different than them, god forbid....

However, I think most of us here are open minded, in response to your post in Texan slang....."Them 'ders fightin' words" Not that you meant them that way, but people always can interpret stuff the way they want to.

Being an overly sensitive person to gluten I had a positive test to a gluten skin test, I am Celiac, and I have DH, I am extremely careful about what I eat. I am new to this whole gluten thing....well not new but returning to the gluten free diet with less restrictions. I appreciate people's experiences, where the information may not be 100% black and white accurate, I do get steered in the right direction on a place to look for gluten-free items in my life that I can use. Of course I check every label 3 times and bug the heck out of the natural foods store on site dietician, but I find that it is nice to know that I have a community.

Maybe it is not all "black and white" here, but then again is anything relating to gluten "black and white"? Just looking at the differences on this forum between the amount of allergies that people have, the level of intolerances that people have, and the different disorders/diseases people have not related to gluten, I would say there is no "right or wrong" answer. When I post information I try to think of most of the allergies/level of intolerance that people have. When posting a recipe, or new product I found I always mention that you should check it out for yourself and not think that I or anyone else has all the answers or all the information. That would be like going into a store and drinking oven cleaner because someone told you it was gluten free.

Richard, I am new to this forum, but you have made me chuckle already in the last week! :lol::D I have never had so much levity about my disease before in my life! I get alot of support from this community when others out there who do not have any food sensetivities are clueless. Sometimes knowing that you guys are here, opinions and all is really the reason that I get up in the morning. To know that I am not alone and to get my stiff, pained, inflamed joint booty out of bed in the morning! :wub::wub::wub:

Happy Poo-Poo to You,

Happy Poo-Poo to You,

Happy Poo-Poo, Happy Poo-Poo,

Happy Poo-Poo to YOU!

We sing this to my 2yo when she's successful too! Sometimes we even light a match in her honor! :blink:

We're not normal, REGULAR is all we can hope for! :P

See what I mean about being the highlight of my day when I feel like heck! Sense of humor....necessary to survival I have found. :D

I think I've passed through "normal", it looked boring, so i kept going...

Reminds me of something George Carlin, once said...

"You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is." :P

I'm pretty new here and don't really feel I know too many of the regular posters, but I certainly enjoyed reading this thread. It was interesting and funny...I have to say, this message board has REALLY helped me more than anything else over recent months...I am feeling so much better now, mostly because of reading people's discussions, experiences, thoughts, references to medical lit, etc., and finally figuring out my problems with all of this help. Some arguing (I think I've missed most of it) is only natural in this situation; there just isn't a lot of helpful information out there or easy to find, and so throwing around opinions and all of that is only what you'd expect. If I hadn't stumbled across this message board almost a year ago, I'd still be totally miserable today! I would hate to see this thing moderated like the vegan message board I belong to, where anything possibly conflicting with veganism is deleted right away. I like the idea of veganism, but I don't like doing anything just blindly; I prefer knowing both sides of an issue before I make my choice...but now I'm getting off track. Let me just say again: This board, and every poster on it, has been enormous help to me.

I do have so more questions about that, but I'm sure I would get in BIG trouble.

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
