So I still feel bad even after going gluten free. Or am I really gluten free? I thought I had checked everything out..... but maybe wasn't careful enough..............please help with these tricky items.

Basmati Rice? (Big burlap bag from Costco)

Shredded Cheddar Cheese (King Soopers/Kroger Brand)....just cheese or not?

Starbucks Vanilla Lattes!!!

I have checked all prescriptions and thought the above mentioned items were safe!!

Please help me feel better!!!

I use the Basmati Rice from Costco (in burlap bag) often, and have never had an issue with it.

Sorry you're still feeling bad. I've been there, and still have days like that sometimes, due to cc.

The other week discovered my MIL had a stash of playdough for my 3.5 yr old to play with when I'm not home (they were thinking it was safer to use pd when I'm not home). It contaminated the fridge door, the kitchen counters, the dining room table, and anything else they touched, including clean dishes out of the dishwasher. :rolleyes: Nice, huh? I dearly love my 3 yr old, even when she stuck her playdough cc finger in my mouth for fun. :o

Things could be worse. I'm good now. :) Hope you feel better soon.

Myself I wouldn't touch anything from a starbucks. Could you delete those from your diet for a couple of weeks and see if that helps? As for the shredded cheese I don't know about that brand but I do know of one brand that I used to use that wasn't safe because of the stuff they use to keep the shreds from sticking. For that I would call the company and ask. I stick with Kraft shredded cheese or Food Club brand.

There is also the possiblity that you need to be dairy free right now, at least until you heal. In addition many of us have other intolerances most commonly to dairy and soy. You could try dropping both and then adding each in one at a time after you heal to see if those are causing issues.

I was also going to suggest that you may be intolerant of other foods. A big percentage of gluten-intoleant people are also dairy-intolerant. I have issues with rice also and I know that it's supposedly a "safe" grain in the Celiac world. I would eliminate the dairy for awhile and see if things improve. If not, then try the rice. Don't do both at the same time, because you wouldn't know which was affecting you if you suddenly improved. Best wishes!!

My mother had once been told if she asks the person making her coffee to please use a clean sterilized pitcher that it would be ok, so long as what she is DRINKING is gluten free. However, she still had issues. She no longer goes to starbucks. I've not had starbucks in over two years. I can make a latte at home. For alot less.

I would definitely cut out the starbucks latte's to see if that could be (one of) the culprit(s).

Oh and as far as cheese. I only buy kraft.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
