Went threw all my cabinets and figured out what has gluten and what doesn't. I couldn't believe how many things are gluten free!! Called alot of company's today and got info on all the things I wasn't sure of. This is'nt going to be so bad. Most of my canned stuff is gluten free, all my spices, dairy, meat.....only my bread crumbs isn't and my bread...not bad. Now I just have to find a darn store that sells non gluten bread..checked three so far and havent found one.

Had a terrific taco salad tonight with salsa and sour cream...yum...and of course a big glass of coke!

Yea... a lot of food is naturally gluten free! Your comments are great for those just starting and feel so overwhelmed and scared! There's tons of food we can eat!! We just have to learn to cook a little differently, that's all.

btw... be sure to check your sour cream. I was happily eating it and never THOUGHT to look at the label. Since then, I'm eating more foods w/ less ingredients... i.e... more natural diary things.

That's great! You can pat yourself on the back for all that detective work. That's quite an accomplishment. We feel so limited sometimes but really there is a world of options out there that we CAN have.

Be aware that things like jars of mayo may be cross-contaminated if you used them for things like sandwiches before and stuck then knife in after spreading the bread, margarine etc. You may need new tubs and/or switch to squeeze bottles. I was an avid baker and dipped my measuring spoons into more than one ingredient and used them to stir things with flour so my baking spices(nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger etc.) and baking powder and other baking ingredients were potentially cross-contaminated so I replaced them with new stock.

Picked up some rice flour and threw out the wheat flour. Bread, like I said is a pain, but I'm sure I will find it local eventually. I guess pasta will be my downfall, since the gluten-free is so expensive, I'll just treat myself every once in a while.

As for the sour cream...I purchased daisy, and called the company. I also know breakstone is okay. I have some more questionable things in my cabinet, so I'll continue to call until I have everything marked. I'm using a big marker and identifying everything. Eventually, I'll get it from memory!

Now I have to start investigation placed to go out and eat!!!

Sounds like you're very organized. I print out gluten-free menus from the websites and slip the pages into folios with clear pocket pages. That way the pages are protected and my menu book is ready to grab and take. If you can find a Trader Joes near you, they sell brown rice pasta that is a good buy. Lasagne can be made with slices of zucchini or eggplant in place of the noodles-better if the slices are seasoned, oiled and grilled or broiled or raosted beforehand.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
