I am brand new to this forum and am having trouble getting around in the website to find replies to my post and other information. I know it will take time and I will learn, but if anyone has quick help that would be great.

Also, I am less than a month from being diagnosed Celiac and have done tons of research online and also have met with my dietician. He was great and after reading other stories, after I FINALLY went to a gastroenterologist, he diagnosed me within a few months. Anyway, I went to a health food store, they carried a lot of stuff besides gluten free, but I found a box of crackers that said the company supported the celiac organization and I asked the clerk if they were gluten free. He said well, yes, it has Celiac organization on the front here. Anyway, I bought them, have been munching away and two days later, read the ingredients, duh!!, and saw there was whey in them. Assuming these are not GOOD and NOT GLUTEN FREE! So, that taught me to be very aware to always read the ingredients as the box or covers can be deceiving.

Whey is gluten free, there is no wheat in it.

Whey is from dairy. Do watch out for "made in a facility that also processes wheat". There is at least one brand of cracker with the Celiac Foundation stuff on the front that has that label as well. Depending on your sensitivity, or how you choose to come down on the issue of cross contamination in manufacturing, you may want to avoid those things made in facilities with wheat.

I am assuming he bought Nut Thins. People are divided on those. I personally eat them all the time with no problems. I know others who will not touch them.

Hi & welcome

I agree with the other two posters... Unless your are also dairy free whey is ok...... I think if you remember that if a product states no wheat , that does not mean no gluten . But if a product stated no gluten then it is safe....... So I always tell my newbies to look for products that states no gluten & you can feel safe about it ... Unless of coursr you are one of the very sensitive people the I would say only buy products that are made in a dedeciated faciliculty.I know it sounds like a riddle but once you got it it will stick with you......

There are many excellent recipes in the baking section, be sure to spend some time there!!!!!

IF you want some cream of the crop stuff let me know & I can direct you to finding what you are cravings . I'm a mentor for my area.... specializing in finding your favorite foods gluten-free.

Thanks for the reference website. It is great. I did notice that the pkg said the crackers were processed in a facility where wheat is processed. My dietician said to really watch issues with cc.

I eat things processed in the same facitilty...you need to call and find out what their policy is. Some companies wash their lines down and the first thing done is gluten-free and they run gluten containing things after...so I don't discount everything that says that...you just need to be proactive and call.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
