    Michael........I have Celiac and Sjogren's Syndrome, which is another autoimmune disease that is often seen with Celiac. It is one of those which is badly overlooked and missed by doctors. I diagnosed myself and then when I found a good PCP, she ran the blood work and discovered I was right. What tipped me off was your mention of swollen salivary glands...

    I would imagine, and this is just my opinion, that the DGP might drop faster as that is the test which checks for reaction to gluten. Once you stop eating it, the numbers should start dropping. This is why you need to be ingesting gluten right up to the testing date. The tTg tests for tissue damage (intestinal) and that number drops as a person heals. But...

    I was in no way rude to anyone, cycling lady, and if we have posters coming on here making ridiculous claims that have no roots in fact concerning Celiac Disease, then they should be corrected. We have had trouble with people on this board before making such ridiculous claims that no reputable celiac organization would endorse or agree with. If this forum...

    Dishwashers and vegetables and fruit are not suspect, unless you are talking a fruit pie made with wheat crust. The wax coating on fruits and veggies is safe also but should be washed off before consuming the produce. I know that sounds stupid but believe me, lots of people don't bother to wash produce and I am more concerned from a germ point of view than...

    Brilliant post! :lol: :lol:

    Again, here is just a small example of why your posts are so loaded with error and misinformation. If you want to believe you are well informed, have fun with that. We had other people on this board in the past who seemed to think they were always right and did nothing but spread erroneous info, make wild claims about being glutened from garden produce and...

    C'mon Barty........that makes too much sense. There are just some people who love making thier lives harder than they need to.

    There is so much misinformation in this post, I felt the need to answer. I am also very sensitive to gluten and as a diagnosed Celiac, do not need to live in a bubble to live well and healthy. I am beginning to think there needs to be an information thread about cross contamination, because there are many people who clearly do not understand the basics...

    Geezaloo.......digestive enzymes DO NOT digest inflammation, they digest food! Let me tell you this....I went to a lecture given by the founder of Enzymedica. Don't get me wrong, I like their product and it is very good BUT as far as gluten is concerned and other dietary issues, the guy said some things that made my blood boil. They have a product called...

    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...

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

    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...

    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!

    Very nice post, IrishHeart, and I couldn't agree more!

    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!
  21. 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? ...
  25. 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...
