I'm overwhelmed with information, and I'm hungry!!! My girlfriend found the Healthy Choice chicken rice soup, and made some gluton free brownie's for my B-day that I munch on....ummm banana's, apples. I had been gluten-free for a week and was so amazed at the results!!! Wow Wow Wow......and finally ...Wow! Then we went for Sushi last night we my daughter and boyfriend. I have been so sick! Every symptom has come back with a vengence.

PS: I'm not diagnosed , Dr. told me to try to gluton free and set me up for the GI consult. Now I wonder if I need to continue killing myself to get the positive test???

Confused and overwhelmed.....and hungry

To get accurate testing for celiac you need to be eating gluten... Your doctor is wrong by telling you to go gluten-free then see a GI doc.. He's got it A__ __ backwards......Plus I assume you are an adult& you tried going gluten-free & felt instant relief when not eating gluten.Then you went to a sushi place & got sick... That should help you make your choice..

Not everyone needs a stamped certificate stating you need to be gluten-free... It' s your choice to get tested or not be tested... With children they need to be tested & dx'd for school...adults can make their own choice ...

If you are gonna get tested than you got keep eating gluten. If you stop eating it the test can come back negitive. So decide if you want an offical dignostic. If not you can do a gluten challenge but that can be negative to.

Thats up to you.

I would 'like' an official diagnosis so I would know what to do with my kids (who are very young still), and to convince my mom and sister who have problems and are stubborn to get tested. But honestly I feel so much better I don't want to go back to gluten or the ridiculous cost of testing.

I haven't tried sushi yet, I believe not all rice is gluten free, most soy sauce is 60% wheat also. You actually have to buy soy sauce thats gluten free (kind of messed up that soy sauce is mostly made of wheat normally).

Sushi is hard. Not only do you have to avoid the regular soy sauce, but some of the other sauces used in the sushi also have gluten. Like the sauce they use on the smoked eel (which was my favorite before going gluten-free). And teriyaki sauce can have glutent too. Doesn't leave much options except for lots of edimame :)

Most soy sauce has wheat unless you buy gluten free Tamari soy sauce, which is 100% soy. But not all Tamari sauces are gluten free, so make sure it says so on the label.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
