    Bev I completely agree with you on this. I used to be hyper sensitive and the most basic things would bother me. I have several other conditions and as I stabilized those and my health improved my CC reactions diminished significantly. The last condition was something so simple that I refused to admit it was an issue and as soon as I treated it I could...

    There is a R.O.C.K. (raising our celiac kids) chapter in Chicago. Here's the list: https://www.celiac.com/articles/563/1/ROCK-...roup/Page1.html

    Hi ginny, Here are a few links to products you mentioned in your posts that are gluten, dairy and soy free (and quite tasty to boot): Dairy-Free Bagels - Open Original Shared Link (The english muffins make great hamburger buns) Rolls - Open Original Shared Link Granola - Open Original Shared Link Grits - Open Original Shared Link Cereal...

    I don't really have a formal answer for you but I know that my thyroid problems only became apparent after going gluten-free. I don't know if my thyroid necessarily got worse or it was just more noticable because everything else got so much better. I don't recall my doctor ever mentioning that increased absorption would require less medication either. ...

    I know the Mitsitam Cafe at the American Indian Museum has plenty of gluten-free stuff. It's even labeled! The Cascade Cafe at the National Gallery has a salad station and they use fresh bowls and utensils to mix each salad. All of the vegetables were fresh so I don't think he'd have an issue there. You might have to send dressing though. The Air & Space...

    I too wash mushrooms and haven't had any issues. Alton Brown tested the amount of water that mushrooms absorb when soaked and it was almost none. I guess if it's a concern you can grow your own. Nurseries sell mushroom kits.

    Hang in there ginnybean. Most of us had similar feelings in the beginning. It will get better. Your family will also eventually change their opinion of this whole gluten-free thing when they see how much better you feel! What part of Alabama are you in? Here's a link to the Birmingham celiacs. They can give you a lot of local support: Open Original...

    Passover is the best! I stock my freezer every year with Mother's. I saw a few other brands this year. You can order passover margarine online here: Open Original Shared Link

    As you know severe anemia is a serious condition and can cause potentially fatal complications if not treated so your friend should not be trying to discourage you from getting iron infusions if she doesn't know what she's talking about. They are quite safe when closely monitored by a physician.

    I don't know of any IV drugs that contain gluten. The gluten is usually in the starch used to hold pills together.

    I still think there is a very good chance that you are celiac. And at this point I think the real confirmation is your positive response to the diet combined with your tests. I am person who likes absolutes and it was difficult for me to overcome the negative bloodwork. But all the other tests (biopsy, pillcam, enterolab) and my response to the diet eventually...

    I am aware of the existence of wheat-based coatings but really can't recall any issues with produce and I am pretty sensitive. I interpreted their response to mean that if I have concerns about the coatings that I should avoid eating the peel.

    I also do the lemon juice in rice or hemp milk. I usually add a little oil to get the fat content up. I like Jungle Shortening for a butter sub in baking. It's similar to Spectrum. McCormick makes imitation butter flavoring that is gfdf so you could add a little to get the butter flavor.

    yes. I think Authentic Foods has a website and you can order the flour mixes there.

    I certainly went through my share of bad doctors but I can say I have the best doctors now. Not only do they listen and respect me but they are all celiac literate (two on a personal level). I don't think I would be where I am today without their support.

    Hi Npceliac, Welcome aboard! If you're using a recipe you can try adding a little xanthan gum or gelatin to the bread to help it stick to together. There are several mixes designed for bread machines so you can give those a try too.

    I generally get the best prices when I order direct. You can check A.zon too. They do free super saver shipping so that'll save you a few dollars.

    I am certain they know which products are gluten-free but I don't think that information is available to the public. You can try contacting them and see if they'll answer the question. I would assume you'd have to give them the UPC code. Open Original Shared Link

    I second Carmex. From their Open Original Shared Link: Does Carmex contain gluten? Nope, not even a speck. There is no gluten in any of our ingredients. We do not use flour in our manufacturing process, so there's no chance of any trace of it on our conveyor belts.

    From Huy Fong Foods, Inc. who makes Sirracha: Thank you for your interest in our products! We strive to produce the best sauces using quality ingredients in every bottle. Our vinegar supplier has ensured us that the vinegar used in all of our sauces is gluten-free. If you would like the name and number of our supplier, simply email us back and we would...

    Per their website Tapatio is gluten-free so I recently inquired if their products were made on dedicated lines and their response was yes, we only make one product and our entire factory is dedicated to that one product.

    I've been buying Amy's frozen meals for my husband recently and noticed that some of them say "no gluten ingredients" and others say "gluten-free" so I asked if there was a difference and here's their response: Thanks for your email. I can certainly understand your confusion. There is actually no difference. As we reprint our labels, "gluten free" will...

    Check into Citracal Kosher. Per their website it's lactose free. http://www.citracal.com/Calcium/Special-Diets.aspx

    Thanks for posting this. I've been making gluten-free bread in the old fashioned way (in the oven) for several years and decided to get the Zojirushi a few months ago and have really been struggling to get the settings just right for the bread mixes. I finally decided that I needed to start from scratch.

    Bob, Welcome aboard! I don't know that I have a good answer for why your son is healthy now but I can tell you that we have several members diagnosed in the 40s, 50s and 60s here who can share stories. Until the 60s-70s, it was generally accepted that children grew out of celiac disease so I'm not surprised that your son was put back on a gluten diet...
