    I use McCormick spices, Colman's Mustard Powder (the mixed mustard in the jar is not gluten-free but the dry is) and buy my sugars at Trader Joe's.

    Here's the text of the proposed resolution: Open Original Shared Link

    Tim and Peter are correct about the PPM being a complex beast. 20PPM is generally accepted in the US but not yet a regulation. This is also a good explanation of PPM: Open Original Shared Link (There is one update to the doc - Europe also set their limit to 20PPM recently) Did your supplier say what a bit over was? There are quite a few suppliers of flours...

    Wow 6 is really low. Having low ferritin and normal hemaglobin is possible and can cause the symptoms you mentioned. I don't believe the nurse practitioner is correct - your ferritin needs to be addressed. Have you seen this site: Open Original Shared Link

    Well I would think an endocrinologist would be the best person to understand that you have issues even when your TSH is normal. But, I think there are two kinds of endocrinolgists and you really just have to try a few. But I don't see how my process here helps you in France... I found this site maybe they can point you in the right direction? Open Original...

    Thanks Lisa!

    I use Open Original Shared Link and really like it. I think Rice Guy recommened it?

    Hi Jane, welcome aboard! It is frustrating. It took me a very long time to work through things and even 3 years later I am still learning! I had to do exactly what you are doing and it took months to figure everything out. Please don't kill me here but unless I read something incorrectly you actually added 4 things back in on the same day: quinoa, sugar...

    That sounds a lot like me. My TSH was 3.9 which is technically still normal by most lab standards and my GP. I always share my bloodwork and my Endocrinologist picked up on it right away and prescribed Armour. With the low T3 thing it's important to find the right medication as not all of them address T3.

    Thanks for the info. We had a tank a few years ago and it was really more trouble than it was worth (mostly because I was the one cleaning it!) so I really only want a beta for the kitchen counter. I laughed when I was reading the fish food ingredients because the main ingredient was wheat (high gluten) and I pictured a fish sitting in the water going now...

    Does anyone know of a gluten-free fish food? I haven't been able to find one yet.

    Cynthia Rudert is also in Atlanta. Her number is (770) 475-0903.

    If I know and trust the restaurant I'll get seasonings but if it's an unfamiliar place or one that just doesn't give me the warm fuzzy I will order everything plain just to be safe. I get really sick and am very sensitive so I tend to error on the side of caution when eating out.

    Those symptoms are certainly some of the most common. Many of us also have Hashimoto's. It sounds like your doctors are following the right path so hopefully you'll find your answer soon. Regardless of your test results, you can try the gluten-free diet after your endoscopy and see if it helps any of these symptoms.

    I was never a beer drinker so gluten-free beer isn't appealing. Red wine and tequila are my drinks of choice. I've never had a problem with either.

    You really have to ask about the rice at any restaurant. It's not gluten-free in more places than you think. It's hit or miss at a Mexican restaurant. These guys have free dining cards for download: Open Original Shared Link

    Here's a thread on cracker barrel that might help: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...er+Barrel\ It's 2 years old but since their menu never changes I'm guessing the information is still reasonably accurate.

    Funny you should mention that Tim. That is one that bothers me too. I spent 1/2 the day at the dentist today having all kinds of fun stuff done and I couldn't find one single product that contained gluten. The only thing my dentist has ever excluded was the baking soda pressure wash used for cleanings - not because it contained gluten but because it was...

    I think Tagamet HB is also lactose free.

    It sounds like you have most everything covered here! I certainly don't think it's too much and the baseline is so important. I'd definitely get the celiac panel if you're still eating gluten. It might be useful in the future. There are a few specific tests related to iron and thyroid that might not be tested unless you specify. Most doctors only...

    I've been at this a while and don't know if there is a blanket statement for every situation. Generally I think it's really stressful for a host/hostess who isn't familiar with the gluten-free diet so I always let them know ahead of time that I'll be bringing my own food and not to worry about making any accommodations for me. If it's a sit down dinner...

    McCann's isn't really considered gluten-free but a few people here can eat them. They estimate their oats contain 50ppm.
  23. MaryJones2
    I assume the chicken is marinated or has some coating that contains gluten. As with any fast food joint cross-contamination with the fryers and grills are the biggest concerns so my guess is their allergen chart is based on the status of the raw ingredients only.

    I really like Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link.

    purple, check the website of your state extension service. Most extension services have excellent publications on what to plant and when as well as some great how-tos.
