Who knew about Tropicana juice?!  I had NO IDEA..but it certainly clears up a few bacon/egg breakfasts out that ended in disaster! 

Thank you so much, this one in particular really makes a difference to me.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The Pure Premium with no additives IS gluten free. Everything else is not. So at least Tropicana does have at least 1 thing we can have.

The only juice of theirs that is gluten free is the Pure Premium with no additives.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Tropicana told me that any juice marked with the number 48 on the top is gluten free. I use the Essentials with 1/2 the sugar and calories and it works for me.The number 48 indicates that it is made in a gluten free facility.

They told me if they had 3 certain plant numbers on the top and were with no additives then they were gluten free.

The lady told me anything with natural flavors and other additives should not be considered safe for me. Now, it's possible you were told other things but that is not what I was told. It seems like some of these companies say different things so that really makes me doubt their products.

Is the kind you drink a new line or something? They just told me that plant number with no additives indicated gluten free(Last time I talked to them was like 2 months ago)

Another product to mention is the one I made a mistake with:

Gas-X Chewable Tablets are NOT gluten free!!! I was eating them like candy for my gas before I found out they weren't safe......

Target brand Metamucil sugar free, not gluten-free. But :) For an inexpensive lipstick...wet and wild is gluten-free. I'm not sure yet about their other products, still investigating.

Paul Newman has a line of wheat free cookies, NOT gluten-free. <_< Just because it says wheat free does not mean it's gluten-free.

Also...For those celiacs who are still experiencing stomach pain and digestive problems, please be careful with orange juice even if it is gluten-free. The acid in it is very caustic to a healing intestine. Years ago (in the dark depths of celiac disease without a diagnosis) I was trying to be "healthy" and started drinking a glass of orange juice every day (did this for about 2 years). Tropicana pure premium! During that time I became the sickest I have ever been. All symptoms the worst ever. Thyroid problems at the lowest. 25 pound weight gain even though I didn't eat anything and was constantly throwing up and having chronic dh. <_<:( Someone suggested giving up the OJ. I did, and I felt better within days. No I'm not allergic to citris. :)

Speaking of animals and their food...we have horses. It didn't occure to me that wheat and oats were in thier food until one day I was feeding carrots and got their slobber on me. It was right after feeding them that I noticed some of the feed stuck to my hand in all the slobber. :P Hmmmm...wheat seeds! <_<

I guess we have to be careful everywhere.

Wow!!!,

Thanks for all the great info.

You would think that the marketing dept. of these companies would get wise and make ALL their products gluten-free.

This must be a substantial loss of money to their companies.

Perhaps in time they will become the wiser.

Hi. This is all pretty new to me. I had my first obvious gluten reaction beginning of January - bowel symptoms, severe fatigue and weakness, shooting pains, weight loss, constipation, etc.

I got better after going gluten-free, but I've gotten sick a couple times after that. Plus, I have small lingering symptoms that have come back.

I have suspected my lotion this past week, but I was so busy to look into it until now... One of you guys mentioned it - St. Ives Collagen Elastin lotion. So I guess I'm throwing it out.

You know how it is - when you're cooking, sometimes you lick a finger, etc. I'm sure it gets on my food sometimes when I'm preparing it, especially when I cook right after a shower. I also use cast iron pans, and I rub oil on them after washing them - using my hands, of course. I don't have DH. But with this lotion on my face and hands, I'm sure I've ingested some of it.

It'll be interesting to see if my lingering symptoms clear up after I get rid of this lotion.

You guys might like to look into triclosan too. Do an Internet search on it. It's in antibacterial soap, among other things, and it is shown to cause bad problems with the endocrine system. I imagine some of you folks who have thyroid and/or adrenal issues may especially want to look into this.

Mary, did you used to cook gluten foods in your cast iron? That can also be a source of gluten contamination.

Thanks for asking. No - I actually got the cast iron pans because I read somewhere that some of the non-stick coating in pans has gluten in it. And you know how it is when you use those pans a little while - traces of the non-stick coating come off in the food. So I got the cast iron after I went gluten-free.

Thanks!

Mary

      Based on the normal range and units, that looks like a test for total IgA, not a celiac specific test. Were any other tests run?

      Hi @matts Yes.... it's a mystery to me why we are holding onto that 'o'. I expect it won't be there in 100 years! I think you are very wise to go back to your GP to chat through your options. If you would like to know one way or another, he or she may be happy for you to see a gastroenterologist through the NHS. If not, and you would...

      Hi Cristiana, You’re spot on, I am from the UK! In terms of eating gluten prior to the blood test, I only had a week in between requesting and having it done but I think it would be accurate in terms of how much I’d eaten, I have two slices of toast most mornings and gluten included in most other meals throughout the day. Thank you for the...

      Hi @matts Welcome to the forum. I'm a coeliac living in the UK. I have a hunch you may be posting from the UK because of the way you spell 'coeliac.' Our American friends, quite sensibly in my opinion, drop the 'o'! Anyway, if so the UK, 'satisfactory' blood tests mean as follow: 'Satisfactory. Take no action - This means that the doctor...

      @Neat1, I so glad you're going to try Thiamine! Do let us know how it goes. Benfotiamine is the form of Thiamine that may be very helpful to you. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote healing in the intestines. Be sure to take a B Complex because all eight B's work together. Try to get a minimum of 300 mg a day of Benfotiamine. Higher doses...

      Hi @matts Yes.... it's a mystery to me why we are holding onto that 'o'.   I expect it won't be there in 100 years! I think you are very wise to go back to your GP to chat through your options.   If you would like to know one way or another, he or she may be happy for you to see a gastroenterologist through the NHS.   If not, and you would still like to know and can afford it, you could do what my friend did,  She went direct to a consultant at our local private hospital to have an endoscopy.  Her situation was different from yours in that she did not test positive, but she did have gastric symptoms.  Her Dad was a coeliac and she wanted to be sure she wasn't one of a small number of coeliacs that don't ever test positive in the blood test, but do have villous damage in their gut. I do hope things work out well for you - perhaps drop by and give us an update sometime! Cristiana

Thank you for the article, as you said with the family history it is probably correct that it should be investigated further. I’ll contact my GP on Monday and ask for further investigation, as you said I know they aren’t massively over the normal limit but must be a ‘normal’ range for a reason and if it’s come back above it then it needs looking at!  I’ll continue my diet as is for now so then if I do have further tests then they should be accurate results. Thanks again, Matt

      Hi @matts Welcome to the forum. I'm a coeliac living in the UK.  I have a hunch you may be posting from the UK because of the way you spell 'coeliac.'  Our American friends, quite sensibly in my opinion, drop the 'o'! Anyway, if so the UK, 'satisfactory' blood tests mean as follow: 'Satisfactory. Take no action - This means that the doctor has looked at the results and deemed it to be very close to the normal range for the test and the result is not concerning. Some patients have consistently abnormal results that are 'normal' to them.'  Source: https://www.nrmc.nhs.uk/test-results#:~:text=Satisfactory.,are 'normal' to them. Now,  I have annual/biannual blood tests and get a few blood tests that consistently hover just above normal limits, and they come back with that typed next to them.  The doctors can look back at my records and see that the readings are normal for me. However, under your particular circumstances I would definitely request to be sent to a gastroenterologist.  Because although your GP considers your blood tests are satisfactory, i.e. just outside normal limits, they ARE nevertheless outside normal limits and you do have a first degree relative with Coeliac Disease.  I am no doctor but I would say this gives sufficient grounds for investigation, especially if you have been experiencing any gastric symptoms,  or seemingly unrelated things like headaches, tingling extremities, or tiredness - the symptoms of coeliac disease vary enormously from individual to individual. Also, may I ask you, have you been consuming gluten with most meals in the past few weeks prior to your blood test?  For a positive blood test,  coeliacs need to consume the equivalent of about 2-3 slices of gluten containing bread a day over a six to eight week period.  Because if you don't eat much gluten, you may not be reacting much.  Bear in mind that if you do go forward for further blood tests or an endoscopy, you will need to keep eating gluten. If it turns out you are a coeliac, in the UK a coeliac diagnosis will entitle you to all sorts of important NHS health monitoring and support, which in the long-term even if you are feeling well now, could be very beneficial to your health.   One other reason it would be good to know one way or another, is because if you turn out to be a coeliac, you will need to take the diet extremely seriously.  It can at times be a bit restricting, as you mother I am sure will tell you.  And gluten free substitutes can be expensive - my gluten-free pasta, my gluten-free chocolate biscuits, my gluten-free bread adds pounds to my weekly shop!!

Chronic sinus infections are common in Celiac Disease.
