    So, as a little update - I started my gluten-free diet two weeks ago now. Some things seem to be definitely improving: decreased joint pain and swelling (I can wear my wedding ring for the first time in about 6 months!) less bloating, less wind, less constipation less rib pain much less nausea (as in not constant) although...

    A kind friend bought me a box of Gluten Free Hard Seltzer called WHITE CLAW. It is labelled Gluten Free right on the front of the cans, and it calls itself a spiked sparklng water with a hint of strawberry, and it says Alcohol as one of the gredients. One can is 100 calories for the 12 fluid ounces. 2 grams of carbs., natural flavorings, juice concentrate...

    Iron deficiency anaemia

    Omeprazole will have an immediate effect in lowering stomach acid. The real question is what effect will three weeks of lowered stomach acid have on other gut factors and other body systems. I would think nothing serious.

    Iron deficiency anaemia

    I can't speak to the effect of childbirth but I was so anemic, I was having heart palpitations, which led to the Celiac diagnosis for me 20 years ago. I worked with a hematologist to build my iron back up and one thing they told me is to take carbonyl iron. It's more readily absorbed. Also, take it with an acidic beverage like orange juice to increase absorption...

    I can see how crumbs on a doll could be a worry. I know enough to wash my hands after touching something that may have had gluten on it. Would your niece be willing to wash her hands every time she was done playing with the doll, before she might put her fingers in her mouth? Does she ever kiss her doll? One of my celiac antibodies didn’t return t...

    If you get the right bacteria it can help with your symptoms if the symptoms are caused by an autoimmune disease or by IBS. It is easy to become deficient in Thiamine but other deficiencies are also possible: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jgh.15830 Pectin (a soluble fiber): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25809332/ Acacia...

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
