Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is from NH. I was diagnosed in early Nov. and working hard on getting myself better. Had a really rough night with abdominal pain (severe intestinal spasms) and almost went to the ER...again. I have been gluten free but my Dr. said it would take awhile and I can tell it's improving...crazy as that sounds. I have been checking out this message board for while now but only registered last night. You don't have to be from NH to write and say hi. I'm thankful for all of you out there because I don't feel alone anymore.

Hey Diane,

Welcome to the board! Happy that you were reading and have now joined. Its a great resource. Please feel free to chime right in, and ask lots of questions!

I'm not in NH, but wanted to welcome you anyways :). I'm sure someone from your area will chime in.

Sorry to hear that you had a rough night---that is no good. I hope that today is better for you though!

Yes, it can take awhile to fully recover. It is encouraging that you are doing better. How are you doing with the diet/accidental glutenings? Checking all your food labels, aware of cross contamination, medicines, etc?

Let us know what we can do to help!

Hi Laura,

Thanks for writing back. It feels so good to know they're are people who really understand. My family is very supportive but they don't live close by. Two sisters in Mass. and my Mom in NC (my Dad passed away last May).

So far, so good today but we'll see what the night brings. In the beginning of my changing to gluten free I made my mistakes. It was frustrating and I'm also lastose intolerant. So for awhile besides fresh fruit, veg and meat I didn't eat anything unless it said right on the label "gluten free". I still do that and if I'm not sure I don't eat it. I saw a nutritionist twice and she was a help with resources around this area. I can email her anytime I have a question. As for cross contamination I think I've been doing well (my own toaster, bread board, utensils, clean cooking area etc.). But there's always that chance. I guess it took a long time to get this way so it might be a long road back for me. My Dr. has me call him weekly with how many episodes of pain I've had.

But soon it may just not be me I'm thinking about. My 10 year old daughter has an app't with a pediatric gastroenteroligist this week. Both my daughters had blood work done. My 7 year old is negative. My sons are older and will be tested soon.

Anyways, thanks again and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions to ask members.

Diane

Still looking for anyone from NH. Maybe even Mass. because I'm only an hour or so away. I'd like to find a support group but not sure where to look. Any suggestions? Thanks.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
