While I don't think its healthy to focus on what you CAN'T have at all I think it might be usefull for new people..well heck all of us to see some ideas of what products are not ok. Other than the obvious of course. We all know there are lots of things out there that have hidden gluten in them. My biggest mistake at the beginning....any Asian food. I thought, geez no pasta, rice based it has to be safe...WRONG!!! Of course my heart was broken until I got some gluten-free soy sauce and found the gluten-free menu at PF Changs that is. In any event, sometimes I think its helpful to have that list of NEVER TO BUY things too, maybe it could save someone an accidental glutening!

I am new to this, but have quickly figured out that no matter what McDonald's says about it's french fries, they are wrong!

Here's a link to celiac.com's forbidden list. I don't know if it will work because apparently I'm not quite as computer savy as I thought...but just go to the HomePage and scroll down to the Safe/Forbidden Links.

Forbidden List

EDIT: Yay it worked! So, I like this list because it has a lot of things you might see listed in ingredients and be unsure of.

I wonder if the McDonald's fries vary from state to state--I was never glutened by their fries in Michigan or Long Island New York--NEVER! I no longer can have potatoes, so I don't eat them, but my sister still does in Michigan and has never had a problem.

Funny you mention that...I had them twice in Michigan while travelling and had no problems. I figured though that since it was the McDonald's at the airport, they had dedicated fryers since they were so busy. Either way, I didn't have any problems.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
