Can you please let me know which brand of Corn Flakes? I think I read that Kelloggs contains Malt Flavoring. Thanks! I love cereal and have really been missing it!

Ah, boy, have I been there! At work, at Weddings, Church, you name it, I can sympathize! I FEEL your pain and anxiety. Some suggestions: Yes--I carry Kleenex in my purse with a tube of hand sanitizing gel. Um-how to put this....OK, is one of your fears the "noise" that often occompanies gutening and the big D? Very embarrassing! I've been known...

I'm not in Va. Beach, but in Richmond. My doctor recommended Outback and Red Robin. Any of these in your area?

I am interested to know what your doctor's reaction to the elevated Liver Enzymes was. Is there a reason for them to be elevated? Are you taking any meds for high cholestrol that might raise your Liver Enzymes? Unfortunately, the only way to test for Fatty Liver Disease is to have a Liver Biopsy done. It is not a fun procedure. Many doctors are not...

I would first suggest keeping your pantry stocked as much as you can. That way, food options are right there. (I am the only Celiac in my household, so the temptations are right there in front of me and I have to be really careful.) When I find myself getting in a rut, I go back to the basics, such as rice and fresh fruits and veggies. I keep safe chocolate...

I will put a folded up sticky note on my keys (car, house, etc.) that I know I have to grab in the morning. When I grab my keys, anything I need to remember to take with me, is right there written on the sticky note. Nuts sound great. Also, do you have access to a refrigerator and microwave at work? If so, you can take a potato with you and keep it in...

I wanted to let everyone know that Dr. Ray Keate with the Richmond Gastroenterology Group is the MD who dx'd my Celiac Disease. He has been WONDERFUL! Very thorough, patient while listening to me rant, picked up on things that other doctors missed or dismissed, and he has been especially encouraging to me. He is very well educated and versed on celiac...

Hi there! I did see my MD today and he did tell me that he definitely believes there is a connection with NASH and celiac disease, in that both conditions create Metabolic changes in the body that can be damaging. Paula, I think you and your mom are on the right track and I would highly recommend further research I am very lucky to live in a state...

I was just thinking of posting on this topic, and I came across your post so I thought I'd try to "bump" this back to the top to see if anyone knows anything. Last June I had a Liver Biopsy done and was diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease--more specifically "Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis" or NASH. Then in February I was dx'd with Celiac Disease. There...

You are all so AWESOME and Inspiring! I have slowly added some of the foods to my diet, including Veggies and Fruit, some Fritos for snacks, Snickers Bars for my chocolate cravings and even Hormel Black Label Bacon (on my Grocery Store's checklist of "Safe" foods). I am feeling pretty good, though I just passed a Kidney Stone (OUCH!!). D has almost...

Hi everyone! Just a quick question. I have noted that Celiac's should avoid Soy Sauce. In my attempt to be completely gluten free, I am having trouble determining which products to avoid. Do I need to stay away from anything containing soy? Basically, right now I am not eating anything containing Wheat, but are there other ingredients I should be...

I think I may know what you are describing-my doctor has told me I have Barrett's Esophagus, and you might want to have hubby ask his MD about it. I was told it's a "Reflux Change", and probably caused by celiac disease. Please, let us know how hubby does!

Hello from another Newbie! You and I were diagnosed on the same day! One of the most interesting bits of info from my doctor was that Gluten can affect your body for up to two weeks! My doctor told me that even though I had been trying to be Gluten Free 2 days prior to my appointment with Biopsy results, not to be discouraged if I was still symptomatic...

Hi there! I'm a Newbie, but wanted to let you know how much I can relate to you! Just before my Celiac diagnosis, I was also dx'd with a Cyst on my right kidney and a stone on my left. Combined with the Celiac symptoms I was miserable. Are you sure that your back pain is not from another cause? Don't want to alarm you, but make sure you let your MD know...
