    For the newcomers to this site: Taking Glutenease does not allow a person with Celiac to safely consume gluten.

    Just a reminder: Xanax contains gluten, as does the generic version of it by Greenstone, a subsidiary of Pfizer.

    I've had a few brown spots on my teeth my entire life. Before being diagnosed several years ago with celiac disease, I was constantly in the dentist's chair as a child and adult. I have three bridges due to extractions, several crowns, and numerous root canals. Many of my teeth grew in at an angle, sort of sloped inward, and when I had bridges put in...

    ARCHIVED Question About My Biopsy

    ENF replied to Shotzy1313's topic in Doctors

    Damage does not always have to be "very, very severe" to be recognized by a gastroenterologist during an endoscopy procedure. Intestinal damage was seen during my first endoscopy for celiac, and the doctor described it as "mild to moderate". The diagnosis was confirmed after the biopsy results came back the following week.

    It's not a problem or a software glitch. It's programmed to change the abbreviation of celiac disease to the full words. You can't abbreviate compact disc, certificate of deposit, etc. - they must be spelled out. You can go back to the posting and edit.

    I would recommend getting a blood test first, which is simple. If it comes out negative for Celiac, it's up to you whether to go further with more tests, or just go gluten free because it feels right to you. As far as Enterolab, they cannot diagnose celiac disease, but the majority of people's results seem to be positive for gluten intolerance.

    Have you considered seeing any of the other doctors at Columbia's Celiac Disease Center? Dr. Green has several colleagues on staff that specialize in Celiac. One of them accepts my insurance plan, so I went and had a very comprehensive visit. I was able to have a bone density scan (in another wing of the hospital), and also had a very enlightening visit...

    That is an excellent article - they bring up many important points that have not been known, or properly addressed. Besides the higher mortality rates in people who are diagnosed with celiac as children, it explains a great deal about how gluten affects the brain, and subsequently behavior. I could relate to much of it and I'm sure that many other people...

    The link does not always work. You may have to find it on celiacchicks' home page, under the second or third photograph, called The New England Journal of Medicine.

    ARCHIVED Dental Work

    ENF replied to NorthernElf's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I was worried about this also, but there's not really much danger. There's a slim chance that some of the flavored paste they clean teeth with might contain gluten, but most do not. I recently got another bridge and the dentist assured me that there was no gluten included in the adhesives used on either the temporary or permanent bridges. All you can...

    Is there any official documentation that Novopharm alprazolam is gluten free, such as on their website(s)?

    I'm going to be speaking with someone soon who has had a very bad case of RA for almost 40 years, and will try to ask him about it. I do not know if he has celiac. My mother-in-law also has it, but it's not as severe. In the meantime, I have a question: Has she been following the Celiac diet and if so, for how long?
  17. ENF
    Yes, I went to Anne Roland Lee of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. She is one of the few Celiac nutrition experts in the country and the visit was very worthwhile. She answered all of our questions, and the information we received from her made the diet much easier to follow. Good luck.

    You've been glutened. I had similar symptoms, and other reactions, the day(s) after taking Greenstone's Alprazom, which is generic Xanax. Sorry to tell you this, but Greenstone is owned by Pfizer, and the ingredients, including gluten, are the same in both companies' Xanax. We called Pfizer and confirmed it.

    Xanax has been incorrectly included on lists of gluten-free meds. From a Pfizer website: Table 2. Pfizer U.S. Pharmaceutical Products That Contain Gluten as an Ingredient Halcion

    Sounds like he could be suffering from anemia. He should get his iron and ferritin levels checked. For many men, including myself, if the levels are low, and there are no other causes, gluten intolerance is often the culprit.

    I was not involved in the original discussion, and didn't call it in, but all suicide threats on message boards are taken very seriously. If they are not reported to the authorities, and something happens, the owner of the board can be held legally responsible.

    ARCHIVED Medical Help

    ENF replied to melmak5's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I take 5-HTP and L-Theanine Suntheanine, manufactured by NOW FOODS. They are gluten-free. L-Theanine is made from decaffeinated green tea, and is very relaxing. 5-HTP, which increases serotonin levels, is made from the bean of an African plant.
