    Trader Joes has a vanilla extract that they say is gluten free. I use it all the time with not problems but that doesn't really count since I don't get bad reactions maybe mild stomach aches.

    I also have gerd and that is the way that i got diagnosed with celiac. Once I went totally gluten free I was able to stop taking prevacid. There are times that I have reflux but most of the time it is because I have acidentally eaten something I shouldn't have. Try to really watch what you eat and make sure that all of your medicines are gluten free. ...

    I never had the typical celiac disease symptoms and I was diagnosed via a endoscopy - done becauase of reflux. I was shocked to find that I was positive -since I really never had any overt stomach problems. I have been gluten free for 1 1/2 years and if I happen to get some gluten by mistake I now get a very bad stomach ache and get sick. This lasts around...

    Sorry it took so long to get back and answer your questions about evista, fosamax and malabsorption. The women who gave you your dexa scan was probably referring to people who do not have any malabsorption problems. Since celiac disease is a malabsorption disease as well as a auto immune disease there is the greatest of possibilities that you still have...

    After being diagnosed with celiac disease I had a bone scan and I had osteoporosis - I went on Evista and then went to an endocrinologist. He did a 24 hour urine test and a lot of other test - I am now a mega doses of vitamin d(from the doctor)and evista I get get tested every 6 months and on my last dexa scan i no longer have osteoporosis but have osteopenia...

    I have black circles too. They were much worse prior to going gluten-free. I still have them though. I decided to see if they were due to someother allergy and I was tested - everything came back negative. I am still waiting and hoping that they will get lighter. But at least I don't look like I got punched.

    help - I have been gluten-free for over 1 year and I haven't had any problems. last week I bought the calcium vit I always buy and I started to have stomach distress. Now I have dh rash all over and it is way itchy. I went to the doctor and he took 2 biopsies. He just wanted to confirm it was dh. I know that it is - it looks just like the pictures on...

    Just another day when my husband offered me bread and when I told him that I couldn't eat it because it made me sick he said that he never saw me sick. Even when I don't bring it up and just pass on eating things I shouldn't I have to hear that what I have isn't really a problem I am not asking for anyone to feel sorry for me - not even complaining...

    I have been gluten-free for over a year - well almost. I don't really tell anyone anything except that I can't eat wheat it is too much to explain. I am sure that I still injest some glutin. Before i went gluten-free I never had any symtoms - now when I have an accident _I get sick -

    I am not sure if this has anything to do with celiac disease - But it probably has something to do with malabsorption - I had a miscarriage and a pregnancy where there was a problem. I do however have two great kids. With each of them I gained a tremendous amount of weight and they were big babies - very healthy. So I guess it all depends upon your nutritional...

    ARCHIVED Is It Just Me?

    andyc replied to ham&ex's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    when you walk down the gluten free aisle in the supermarket there are always people who are shopping for wheat free food. Most of them have not been tested and many do not know what celiac disease is. They have been put on a wheat free diet by a nutritionist. When I mention celiac disease i tell them to come to this web site and find out about it. ...

    My husband thinks that since I have been living with this problem for 50 years that another 50 years won't hurt. I tried to get him to read some information but he isn't interested. I want to get my daughter tested but he doesn't want her to go through a blood test. He doesn't understand that there could be damage - long term damage - He constantly offers...
