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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
