I have a question. I am new to this, just diagnosed on Thursday so I am in the very beginning stages. Can I have popcorn? I know its made from corn but is there anything added in the bag that I can't have?

Every microwave popcorn I've checked on has been gluten-free, although I think one of the caramel pour-overs isn't. Pop Secret, Jolly Time, Act II, Newman's, Kroger, and Orville -- all gluten-free.

GREAT!! thats good news because I love popcorn. One other question if you know....when ordering at a fast food rest., is it ok to just take the bread off the sandwich or do I have to order it without the bread completely?

You have to order it without the bread completely! IF you just take the bread off, it leaves "particles" of the bun behind... therefore contaminating the whole thing. I know it sounds overwhelming at first, but hang in there... it gets much easier in time!!! Plus, thanks to Atkins, people don't look at you weird when you order it without the bun. :) Bonus!!!

Order it "no Bun" everytime!

Even crumbs can hurt your intestine and invoke bad symptoms (nausea, diarrhea, DH, etc).

If possible watch as they make your food (it is easier at Wendys, Mc D's and Arby's because you can see the kitchen. -- Sometimes the employees will just taka an old sandwich and "remove the bread" -- this is unacceptable -- make them make you a fresh one. If there is a problem, SPEAK UP and tell a manager -- its their job to make you happy !!

Frenh fries are NOT OK unless they are MCD's - they have dedicated fryers USUALLY -- you still need to ask a manager (not Suzy the 16 year old employee who has no idea what a dedicated fryer is)...

hope this helps!!

I just wanted to repeat this and STRESS THE ASK part because I have not found a McDonalds where the freis are gluten-free. Some ppl here praise McDonalds for thier so called dedicated friers, but my personal exp is much different. See the problem is that McDonalds is a franchise so every location potentialy can be drasticly different.

ANY time you eat at ANY resturant you must ask lots of questions, and you must be prepaired that no mater how hard you try, you will occasoinaly get glutted from them. Find places that know you and do a good job, and stick with them is the best advice I can give you.

To answer the question about feet cramping, I too have had it. Like I said before, you name it, I've had it. I never found out what caused it, but it went away. My feet used to cramp on the top.

I can tell you every McD's in Hyannis, MA have totally gluten-free fries and so does every McD in Boston that I've been too. I don't just ask the person behind the register, I ask the store manager. I'm a fast and huge reactor and I've never reacted at McD. But you do have to ask if the fryers are dedicated and I go further to quiz them.... nothing else... no chicken nuggets... how about when you are really busy?

Even though they are franchises they are supposed to follow the rules McD sets up so if you find one that doesn't at least take the time to report them to McD.

Just becarefull, I am far form the only one that has had problems at Micky D's. I just tend to aviod all deep fryers anywhere any more. Not worth it to me! I have my own fryer at home when I need a fry fix, and I use REAL POTATEOS and I leave the skins on! Ppl just dont know how to make them right most places any more LOL

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
