So I went shopping at trader Joes yesterday.......I am new to this gluten free diet......They have a list of gluten free stuff which makes it easier for you to shop......So I got a few breads, pastas, cereals and such.....The mac and cheese is so yummy!!! I was looking for a chocolate cookie but they didnt seem to have any so I asked someone who worked there.....He said they had a flourless chocolate cake which is phenominal!! I need my chocolate fix lol

So I was reading the ingredients and after all the ingredients it says it is made on equiptment shared with wheat and nuts!!! I am a little hesitant in eating it again......What do you think?

Welcome, and I have to say what a beautiful picture on your profile.

Shared equipment is a trial and error. Some very sensitive may have issues, and others not. In the beginning of the diet, I would recommend that you not, just to expedite healing.

Once some healing has taken place, you can slowly add things to your diet and be aware of a reaction.

I get the chocolate flourless cake all the time. I haven't had any issues. Like she said it can be trial and error. But so far it has been good! And yes it is delicous. It is similar to the chocholate flourless domes at P.F.Changs. Just a little desnser.

I agree with Mamma Gooses' advice and I would also ask you if when you do consume gluten are you symptomatic? If you are then it will be easier for you to tell if food items produced on equipment that also is used to process wheat items is giving you a Celiac reaction. If not, well, you are just guessing.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
