I picked up a package of Wasa crackers last night and was looking at the nutritional info. Now clearly I know these are NOT gluten-free, but as I scanned the ingredients, basically 100% rye, listed below was "Allergen info: May contain traces of wheat"

duh

I guess some people can handle rye and not wheat, I just thought it was a little comical. :)

lol. I guess if someone just has a wheat allergy, they could eat all the rye they want.

Hi 'celiac-mommy',

I believe that there are people who have a wheat intolerance, but are comfortable eating

'rye', 'spelt' etc, (don't you just hate them <ahttps://www.celiac.com/uploads/emoticons/default_mad.gif' alt=':angry:'> ). 'Only Joking'

I know-wish we were one of those :P, it just struck me as funny for some reason-probably because it was 930pm, I'd been up since 6, got 4 hours of sleep the night before (darned hospital call) and I was in the grocery store stocking up for the month since my kids were in bed and I had a moment of peace and quiet. I was a little rummy ;)

Heck! we all have our moments when something that we see or hear starts a 'titter'.

I just sent an E-mail a short time ago and was mentioning my brother-in-law,

and added In-laws, Out-laws, John Wayne whatever, I had just slipped into ' Funny half-Hour'. :lol: .

If you can smile and laugh at the 'ridiculous and the sublime' it helps!

Don't take life too seriously, they say laughter is the best medicine (wonder is it a cure for Celiac)? :unsure:

While getting some Immodium not to long ago I accidentally knocked off a box of suppositories, I hope no one saw me (or heard me) laughing as I put it back on the shelf and read "Do not take by mouth" :huh:

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
