    What is the Delphi list and where can I find it? Gerri

    I hope I'm posting correctly, this is my first time on this forum. The topic of Health Valley soups caught my eye. I have been on the gluten-free diet for about a year and a half now, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing it completely, so I'm on here trying to learn more. I have been eating the Health Valley Organic Vegetable Soup. There aren't any...

    Hang in there! It can be really discouraging in the beginning, but it gets better. It could be that you just haven't had enough time to heal yet, but there might be some other type of food that is causing you to feel bad. I was having the same kinds of symtoms you mentioned and they are much better most of the time now. Soy is one thing to look at...

    I picked up on the steak you mentioned. For some reason, I can eat ground beef, if it's very lean and good quality. But I gave up trying to eat steak a long time ago. It always goes right through me. I don't know if it's the fat content or hormones they use or what, but even if I don't put anything on it, I can't digest it. For myself, if something is...

    By your question, does that mean that most jelly beans are not gluten free? I love the Just Born Peeps, and I've been reading labels like crazy. What would be the ingredient in jelly beans that would have gluten? Thanks! Gerri

    In reading the comments here about cysts and tumors, it makes me wonder about my husband. He has rheumatoid arthritis and finally agreed to be screened for celiac disease because of all I have read about there being a connection. But he's waiting a couple of months, till his next regular checkup, because he really doesn't believe he has celiac disease and...

    The doctors never did recognize what was wrong with me. I had to do the research myself, much as you are doing. Finally, I found a GI doctor on this website who was experienced in celiac disease and I had him do the biopsy myself. I don't have insurance, so I paid the approximately $2500 myself on my credit card. I'm really glad I did, because I would...

    I'm a professional wallpaper hanger who was diagnosed with celiac disease in Feb. My GI doctor mentioned that since many wallpaper pastes contain gluten, I may have to think about a career change. He said that it was possible that contamination could possibly occur through the skin. Does anyone out there have any info on this? Thanks Gerri

    I never have the hygenist polish my teeth because it bothers my gums, but I hadn't even thought about the polish containing gluten. Are there products that the dentist would use in doing fillings or other work that I need to watch out for? How can I find out exactly which products to talk to him about? Thanks Gerri in SF

    Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease which has been indicated as having a possible/probable link to celiac disease in just about every medical article I have read. RA is a crippling disease that causes extreme pain to the sufferer and often progresses from the pain to deforming the hands and feet. There is no cure yet, but people who are...

    ARCHIVED Great Line For The Doctor..

    gbeauvais replied to DLayman's topic in Doctors

    Hi! I'm new to this forum, so please excuse and correct any mistake in protocol. Thanks. I finally found my celiac disease by reading "Dangerous Grains". My symptoms were not classic, but I've had all kind of GI problems all my life, and the confusion/depression kind of stuff. None of the doctors could spot it. Anyway, after I finally got a diagnosis...

    ARCHIVED Doctors

    gbeauvais replied to Rikki Tikki's topic in Doctors

    Hi Granger! I'm new to this forum, too. I was just diagnosed in Feb '04, although I've been sick all my life. I have a wonderful doctor, Jeffrey Aron, in San Francisco. I got him from the list on this website. He specializes in celiac disease and was the speaker at the Celiac Foundation meeting in Oakland earlier this month. If you have any other...

    Hi! I'm new to this forum, so please excuse and correct any incorrect behaviors. Thanks. Congratulations on your good fortune. I had that testing done about 6 years ago, in my search for an answer. It was interesting, but since I have celiac disease, it didn't fix the problem. My only observation on all of these other treatments is that I am hoping...

    Hi! I'm new to this forum, so please excuse and correct any wrong behavior. Thanks. I had become convince I had celiac disease by reading "Dangerous Grains", so I got the name of a GI doctor in San Francisco from the list on this website. He was great and did the endoscopy and biopsy, which was positive. However, he said that he spends a lot of...

    Hi! I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if I'm not doing it right, and I welcome any constructive criticism. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in Feb, but I've been working on these diet issues for a long time. So the gluten was the missing link in my trial and error experiments. I'm feeling so much better since I got on the GFD, but I had...
