I feel stupid asking this but can I eat grits? I know oatmeal is out of the question right? I can start to feel a differnce already removing gluten and wheat from my diet. Soon I as can find foods I can eat w/o a problem teh hunger issue will go away and I will be a lot happier. LOL I will say I miss my bread proucts.

Also I saw on a site where CVS carries a list of gluten-free OC meds. I called our local on and they said they had no such list to check on line. I found one for rx meds. Still lookinf for a few I take but I know if I look hard enough I will find them. I can't find the one for the OC ones.

Oatmeal is controversial, but for practical purposes, out of the question. Grits should be fine. Just check for cross contamination and make sure they haven't added anything bad too them.

Can you post a link to the CVS list?

Have you tried Open Original Shared Link for bread? It's my favorite.

Apparently you can get oatmeal that is not cross contaminated...those should be okay to eat. Most of the brands out there are not safe though, because they've been processed along side wheat.

your suppose to be avle to call them or go to the counter and ask. Ok I miss read the below statement. Here is the number to call and they will give you the status

CVS Pharmacies

CVS maintains a gluten-free list of their over-the-counter products. You can call Customer Relations at 888-607-4287 for the gluten-free status of any particular product they carry. They will not send you the list (as of 10/26/06) because "the products change too often".

Except for the 10% of celiacs or so who react even to those uncontaminated oats. There is no specific test (other than trying them and hoping you display symptoms) to determine if a particular person with celiac is one of those 10% will develop villi atrophy from oats.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
