A Couple Of Things

I may have had a setback today. Not sure why, but I thought I could have Rice Krispies (I'm still REALLY new and learning). We had a party here today for my nephew's graduation and since I couldn't have cookie cake I figured I'd have the treats. I had a pretty good sized piece. Any idea how bad this is going to set me back??

Also, I went to dinner with dh for our anniversary dinner. We went to Olive Garden but only because I know they have a gluten-free menu AND my best friend is the manager there. I know that she would make sure that everything was done correctly to avoid cc. Do any of you ever go out to eat to places that offer gluten-free items? I would be really scared that there would be cc. People who don't either have celiac or have someone close don't realize how very serious it is that the protocol be taken. I mean, I never knew till this week that you couldn't even cook with the same pans, utensils, etc.

First of all, welcome! The problem with Rice Krispies, as well as a lot of other cereals, is that they contain malt, which is derived from barley. Hope you recover quickly but I think it really depends on the person and how severe their reactions are.

Rice Krispies has just come out with a new gluten-free Rice Krispies made from brown rice...the boxes are clearly marked Gluten-Free. They just hit the shelves recently and I haven't yet seen them where I live.

There is a lot to learn when we go gluten-free but it gets easier very quickly. Just keep reading the forum as well as labels on products you buy. We all become very good label readers!

I am very comfortable going to P.F. Chang's and Outback Steakhouse and ordering from the gluten free menu.

Outback Steakhouse now house gluten free bread! It tasted like a croissant to me, YUM! It does have egg as an ingredient.

Cheeseburger in Paradise now offers gluten free hamburger buns.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
