Long story short I was diagnosed when I was around 12 months old (1974) when I turned 8 (1983) the Doctor at sick kids thought it would be a good idea to see if I could tolerate gluten so they started giving be small amounts then about 1 1/2 years later the Doctors said I was in "remission"

fast forward about 15 years and I started getting the same symptom I had when I was a baby, I went to see a doctor at a clinic (because I was in University and no where near my regular Doc) and asked if it could be the Celiac coming back he said with Celiac once you have it it never goes away you were probably diagnosed wrong. What you have is IBS. I lived with the symptoms for years then a few weeks ago I went to the Doctors for a check up and he sent me for blood work, to check my Thyroid and also the Celiac panel. Which came back positive and here I am.

I have a question, I remember that I had to keep the bread in the freezer, does it still need to be frozen?

Hello

The gluten free world is changing rapidly. Really good foods now! No more gritty foods if you want to pay for the best of the best!

Most breads should be frozen if not eaten in a couple of days. But there are many breads that have a shelf life for a week or so. I don't use bread daily so I always freeze my bread. If you put wax paper between the bread you can take out only what you plan on using. This way it is not being wasted.....

Thanks. And I'm glad to hear that the food is a lot better. I made pizza the other night and my husband and I were pleasantly surprised.

I'm also wondering has anyone else out there been told by their doctor to add gluten in their diet when they were kids?

Hello

Yes that was what many was told way back when. The doctors didn't know any better...& now if only we could get them to check-out patients that do not get better !It is truly a sad situation..

Glad you enjoyed pizza...

      Mucus discharge

      By Di Wallace · Posted

      I don't know if anyone can help. I was diagnosed with celiac last June. Since going gluten free the diarrhea has stopped, in fact things have gone the other way. What is bothering me is the occasional rectal mucus discharge. I have no other symptoms and it doesn't happen very often. As I haven't seen anyone since my diagnosis, I don't know if this is normal or not

      The product is Certified Gluten-Free, but that does not mean they would be immune to any possible manufacturing issues: https://feel-good-foods.com/product/chicken-soup-dumplings/ As @trents mentioned, some people have issues with xanthan gum, even though it is gluten-free:

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ARSTONE! The ingredients are listed as follows: Chicken, Water, Rice Flour, Tapioca Starch, Tamari Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Salt, Sugar, Corn Starch), Contains 2% or less of: Canola and/or Sunflower Oil, Ginger, Scallions, Brown Sugar, Potato Starch, Rice Wine (Rice, Water, Salt), Chicken Soup Base (Chicken Meat with Natural Juices, Salt, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Chicken Fat, Onion, Potato Flour, Turmeric, Spice Extractives), Konjac Flour, Xanthan Gum, Chicken Powder, Salt, Black Pepper, Sesame Oil, Gelatin I have underlined the ingredients which could contain hidden sources of gluten. Xanthan Gum wouldn't contain gluten but it is a polysaccharide that is a common ingredient in prepackaged gluten free foods and poses digestive difficulties for many people. The same might be said for Konjac flour.  It is also possible that the product exceeds the specs for the FDA criteria of "gluten free" whose upper limit is 20 ppm of gluten. We are seeing this more often lately and many are calling for stricter sampling standards in the gluten free food industry such that testing is done more often.
