  1. Hi Cristiana! It's an interesting thought whether Celiacs are more likely to get Shingles. In the US, once you turn 50, you are able to get the Shingles vaccine. My Dr was bugging me about it for 2 years and I was worried about the side effects. This was during Covid too where we were getting boosters and such. I finally got my first shot in...
  2. Hi Dianna, I'm so sorry that you are feeling poorly! Have you considered the oats as the cause of the issue. I think that something like 10% of Celiacs react to oats in a similar way that they do to gluten. Even gluten free oats. I am one of the Celiacs who can't tolerate oats at all. If I eat oats I get severe abdominal pain and diarrhea...
  3. Hi Tanja, Congratulations on the birth of your sweet baby! I am so sorry to hear that you are struggling with so much right now. I know how hard it can be to have these worries and to have that anxiety kicking in. You have already received some great advice. I wanted to add that it can take some time (months for me) after a celiac diagnosis...
  4. This article is interesting. I've wondered for years why gluten free breads, pastas, etc aren't fortified while non-gluten free ones are. Celiacs could use some fortification in our foods too.
  5. Hi Ginger! I use either Udi's or Canyon hamburger buns... My family loves both. Depending on what I'm in the mood for I either 1.wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven, 2. put them on a baking sheet opened up (this toasts them nicely or melts cheese in top... Also depending on what I'm in the mood for), 3. Add them to the grill when the burgers...
  6. Congratulations and great job on your gluten free diet!! It's so nice to hear such good news, isn't it? Keep up the good work!
  7. Yes! Then we'd have to figure out a way to meet up for tea!
  8. Oh my! I would love to be there for that! It would be amazing!
  9. I am so sorry for your loss...what a remarkable person she was! I've been to England twice...I remember standing outside of Buckingham Palace hoping to somehow get a glimpse of her. I loved visiting Windsor Castle and all of it's rich history. Queen Elizabeth will be dearly missed by people through out the world, including myself. And the bit with...
  10. When I was first diagnosed I was really struggling. A few months in a lot of my digestive symptoms were still there, daily D especially . Another celiac recommended Florajen 3 and I decided to try it. It really helped my digestive system overall. Better stools, less bloating, etc. I hope that helps!
  11. Hi Victoria, I've found that taking a good probiotic has been very helpful for me. I take FloraJen3.
  12. Hi Lauren! It sounds to me like you are doing great so far! Your antibodies have come down a lot! It took mine a year and a half to get to normal and they didn't start nearly as high as yours. I do remember that at 1 year they had come down a lot and then 6 months later were in the normal range. Keep doing what you are doing and I'm sure that your...
  13. I'm so glad that you had such a good experience! I look forward to travelling internationally, I've been scared food-wise, but I really do want to get out there.
  14. Hi Ivana and yay!! That's amazing news! It does take a while to get those numbers down sometimes...mine took 18 months. You are definitely doing things the right way and it's paying off! Good job! Just out of curiosity, which Scandinavian country did you visit? Keep up the good work!
