    Hi, Momma Goose! I did see the post on glutenfreedrugs and also spoke directly with Abbott about the change in status. It sounds like the typical "cover your behind" response, but I wanted to know if anyone on this forum actually experienced celiac symptoms that they could connect to synthroid. Hope that makes sense. Thanks! Jennifer

    Hi! Just wondering if anyone out there has had a problem on synthroid? I have been on it for almost 20 years and noticed they have changed their gluten free status in the past year. I've been having some celiac symptoms recently (since refilling my prescription) and am wondering if it could be related. Thanks! Jennifer celiac dx 1/07, gluten-free...

    Dr. suggested I take acyclovir to stave off cold sore. Has anyone checked on Acyclovir's gluten-free status lately? Or had any problems tolerating it? All in the name of vanity, you know! Thanks! Jennifer

    Having surgery next week. Norco is out because of possible cross contamination issues. Has anyone had luck with Vicodin recently? Thanks! Jennifer

    Has anyone found a birth control pill that is confirmed gluten free by the manufacturer? I recently tried Zovia which is on many gluten-free lists but which the company cannot confirm is gluten-free ("we don't put gluten in but can't be sure about the manufacturers we get our ingredients from"). Thought it was the usual "cover our ass" response, but be...

    So funny! I just got introduced to these at Disney World as well! And oh my GOD!!!!! They are so delicious!!! I totally welled up when I first tasted them and then proceeded to eat at least 2 at every meal! Our chef at breakfast gave me a great recipe I thought I'd share.... She had me make a cut on the bias and pipe gluten-free apple pie filling into...

    You all forgot about the CLOTHES you can get at Costco!!! You can NOT beat that! Also, I can tell you that here in Chicago they have a gluten free contact person if you call the store. They have a continuouslu updated list of gluten free items and are quick to check on ANY item you have a question about. Their baby wipes are gluten-free (I use them to...

    Heading to Disney next week. Does anyone know where I can purchase some gluten-free groceries and staples in the Orlando area? I appreciate any advice I can get!!! This is my first trip since my celiac diagnosis and I'm worried I'll starve! Thanks for your help! Jennifer

    I just realized I think I'm supposed to sign my name with my celiac info so here it is....After 1 year of feeling awful with GI symptoms, I was finally dx with celiac in December 2006...Doc left the dx on my answering machine! Biopsy confirmed dx first week of January 2007. Gluten free ever since, although it took a bit of sleuthing to find all the hidden...

    First off, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your quick and hopefully tasty responses!!! I'm going to have a bake-off this weekend and try them all. Surely one will turn out! I used to be a really good baker before losing flour! Honest!! But I must admit, I'm a bit of moron about gluten-free baking. So...when you say to add 1/2 c. more liquid, does that mean...

    40 is looming large in 2 weeks - my first birthday since my celiac diagnosis. A birthday just won't seem right without cake. I've been too afraid to try gluten free baking, but the time has come. I have a great buttercream frosting recipe but I need a good white cake recipe to go with it. Could you please help me? Many thanks! Jennifer

    Hi there! I'm getting confused again with hidden ingredients. Does anyone know what PVP is? It is in some of my hair products and the company says they are gluten free. But I know I've seen that Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is often listed next to PVP Copolymer. Are there different kinds of PVP? Bottom line...does anyone know if PVP contains gluten?? ...

    Thanks for your advice. I suspect a food diary is the way to go. This is all just so unreal to me that after almost 40 years I can be this affected by foods I've eaten my whole life. I spent the bulk of the week looking into personal care products. I ditched my shampoo, toothpaste, shaving cream, body lotion, face lotion, styling mousse, and hairspray...

    Hi, all. Hoping you can offer some insight since I'm getting very little from my MD. Dx with celiac about 3 weeks ago and have been gluten-free now for 3+ weeks. Everything glutenous is out - food and personal care products. I felt great and had normal poops (sorry to be so graphic) for 3 days. However, for the past 2 weeks it's been a downward spiral...

    I've spent the week dealing with finding decent gluten free personal care products, having had to give up my Cetaphil lotion and just about everything else I was using! As previously stated, the Gentle Cleanser IS gluten-free, but nothing else at this time. I have found an AWESOME lotion, though. Lame Advertisement Body Lotion. They actually have a bunch...

    Hi, all! I'm brand new to all of this and am about to pull my hair out trying to decipher shampoo ingredients. Conflicting posts about Garnier Fructis products and Oil of Olay moisturizers. I've seen the list that Garnier sent out about wheat containing ingredients and other posts that list common cosmetics ingredients. Here's where I'm confused....all...

    Hello! I am an overwrought newbie and am looking for some help. I was dx with celiac disease 3 weeks ago, confirmed w/biopsy last week. Thought I was doing a great job living la vida gluten-free, but I am still having lots of pains and upset stomach. I've spent the bulk of the day trying to find hidden sources of gluten and think they may be coming from...
