    Digest Gold should not make you vomit so it is either an ingredient that does not agree with you or you may not need them. These are gluten free supplements. I know this sounds like a dumb question but are you making sure to take them only with meals? They should never be taken away from food. I took them for a number of years as I had pancreatic insufficiency...

    Caramel color is gluten free. If you choose to believe it is not, you are free to do so but it does not mean you are correct. I am not implying you are not reacting to these products but soda is so bad for you anyway, I think worrying about caramel color is a moot point. No one should be drinking soda in their diet if they want to be healthy. It is incredibly...

    I am sure you received many mixed comments because there are many who are convinced everything is a danger, even though that is not true. Instead of looking all over the internet for information, the best resources for celiac related issues would be Celiac Disease organizations who usually have the most up to date information or......this forum! I have...

    :lol: You are on a roll today, bartie!

    You are too funny, bartfull! On a more serious note.......dental floss is not a concern, even the flavored ones.

    I was in your shoes 10 years ago and was suffering from severe malnutrition. I was 20 pounds underweight. Doctors have a tendency to fear monger. I did as Kareng's mother did....I ate a snack or some food every 2 hours and concentrated on nutritionally/calorie dense foods that I could tolerate. Over the next 6 months, I started to gain weight and get my...

    Sorry to take so long to answer your question, flowerqueen! Specifically, this past year was the easiest at finding safe gluten free dinners in the UK. I was diagnsoed in 2005 and with each trip, it has become easier and easier. I usually rent a flat and eat breakfast in and do one meal out, per day. I was in London, where finding great places to eat...

    Geez...its a shame that you can't fly Virgin Atlantic because they do a stellar job with gluten free meals. Never, ever been sick from one and I am highly sensitive. But they are British and the British get it where Celiac is concerned. Could you get a letter from your doctor for the TSA? I never accept any crap from them when it comes to food. If...

    Christiana...it did not take me that long to type all that out. I type fast. Those typing lessons in school as a child must have paid off....who knew there would be this thing called the internet. One of the other AI diseases I have is Reynaud's.....although they call it a syndrome and not a full fledged disease.....whatever. It has improved on the...

    Hi Christiana! I have been diagnosed with celiac for almost 10 years and I had elevated blood protein when diagnosed. I had other wonky blood work also, like elevated liver enzymes. All resolved on a strict gluten-free diet. Celiac makes the liver angry and it is very common to have elevated enzymes for awhile after diagnosis. It can take quite...

    There may be some vineyards that do this, especially in Europe where the wine making is centuries old. However, I drink wine on a regular basis and love the French Rhone wines. I have never, ever had a problem with any wine I have drunk and I am extremely sensitive to small amounts of gluten. I would not be doing as well as I am right now if there were...

    I am a pretty good cook myself but can I adopt you???????????? That risotto sounds heavenly!

    Benadryl is gluten free. I am not sure about soy as I do not have a soy problem but it is gluten free.

    Here is the information anyone can read to decide whether or not a product is gluten free. http://www.kraftrecipes.com/Products/ProductInfoDisplay.aspx?SiteId=1&Product=5440000005 This is the ingredient listing for A1 sauce and it looks gluten free to me. http://kraftfoods.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1969 The link in blue on the page...

    Very nice post, IrishHeart, and I couldn't agree more!
  16. Gemini
    WOW! This is one dead horse people continue to beat....... As for not eating raw eggs........I am not giving up gluten-free cookie dough!
  17. Gemini
    If you believe this, then why do you assume that you are reacting to possible gluten in the egg from the chicken having been fed grains? That makes no sense.

    I am glad you had such a wonderful trip but here's a suggestion.......go ahead and eat wheat again as you have not been diagnosed with celiac. But keep in mind that you did have symptoms that resolved on the gluten-free diet. After 3 months, go and have a celiac panel done. See if your symptoms return. That way, you can enjoy your wheat but still make...

    GMO's have nothing to do with Celiac Disease or how we react to wheat. If that were true, then no one in Europe with Celiac Disease would be reacting to wheat that they eat. That is about as silly a reasoning as it gets. I would find it pretty easy to travel abroad and not touch anything that was off limits to me as a full blown Celiac. I have done it...

    How about buying a good quality wine and drink it and stop worrying about what may or may not be lurking in it, courtesy of all those evil wine makers out to get us? ...

    Are you in Massachusetts near to Essex? If you are, then go ahead and freak out because this is the place to go for Celiac's..... http://www.woodmans.com/restaurants/menus/ You can get gluten-free onion rings, which rock by the way, but only if they are not busy. It takes some extra time to do them and this place packs them in at peak season. I...

    Thank you, Kristina, for posting this. I live in Mass. and always look for places to go so thank you for letting us know that the Clam Box is not safe for Celiac's. Too bad but I completely understand what goes into having a separate fryer. This place is another institution but for gluten eaters only! It actually looks like a clam box too....google it...
  23. Gemini
    Nope.......I wouldn't use it either but I rarely use any Rx meds unless it really is necessary. You know what? Eczema is associated with celiac and so are many other skin rash problems. When your gut is a mess, the badness comes out your pores. I had skin problems for years and it all went away after I went gluten-free for a little bit and I used nothing...

    I love Sangiovese....but then again, I have never met a red wine I did not like!
  25. Gemini
    Wines are inherently gluten free and I have never seen one labeled as such because you don't have to label a naturally gluten free product. Most people, if they react, are not healed yet or are reacting to something else, like sulfites. I drink red wine often and am very sensitive......never had a problem. I have no issue with sulfites, either. I could...
