Thank you, again! When I started seeing articles about corn and rice being as bad a wheat for celiacs, it really scared me because I love my corn and rice and I've been eating that in place of wheat ingredients. This is a relief. -
Thank you. I actually got a bottle already and have been using it daily until I can make sure my kitchen is contamination free. I need to buy new pots and pans, coffee cups, utensils, etc. I don't know how strict I actually need to be, but I'm going to be as strict as I can be. My biggest concern know is that I can't switch my pets to grain free food, so...

Thank you. I've been trying to weed out opinion pieces from fact. I've noticed that more reputable sites will cite actually studies and research, whereas some 'doctors' are pushing these extreme diets they claim are based in research, but they never include the studies or names tied to the studies, which I find extremely suspect. Just like those who claim...

I really appreciate the help and assurance. As you navigate all this, how do you separate fact from fiction? I mean, I can read some articles and just tell that they're way too over zealous to push people in one direction or another. Besides this site, what are some trusted resources for information? I have used the Mayo Clinic and such, but they seem to...

Yes, definitely just have to be more aware of little things like surfaces and stuff. Definitely an adjustment. I wondered about that. I'm just scared because I already have the diabetes against me, and I'm scared about my lifespan because of that, but then adding the celiac in, I feel like I'll be lucky to make it to 50 if I don't cut out everything...

That makes me feel much better. I know I'm going to have to be more careful regarding my household practices, but geez, some of these articles make it sound like you're signing your own death certificate if you don't become a paranoid nut about every little thing. I guess I'm just scared I'm going to have to go to a diet of nothing but fruit, vegetables...

I thought corn, rice, and sorghum were safe for celiacs, but now I'm seeing articles claiming otherwise. I've been eating those three things in replacement for wheat, barley, and rye containing products. I feel no ill effects from corn or rich or sorghum, but now I'm scared I'm still going to have issues. Is there any truth to this or is just a case...

I often wondered about that. The doctors weren't very clear about their reasoning at the time and they also didn't give any further information. Plus, obviously it's been a very long time and I remember very little of the whole situation. Sorry to hear it makes you sick. It didn't seem to have any ill effects on me personally, but I've only taken it...

Thank you, Trent. The thing that totally took me by surprise was that when I was 7 or 8 years old, I had a stomach biopsy of some type done for celiac and it was negative. I guess that doesn't mean anything because you can develop celiac disease at any point in life? I'm 22 now. I go back to my endocrinologist in July for thyroid follow up, and...

So, new to all this. Was diagnosed with Celiac by a positive anti-bodies blood test run by my doctor. I wasn't even aware she was ordering the test but apparently it's normal to do so for those of us with type 1 Diabetes and other auto-immune issues (also have hoshimotos). I had thyroid cancer and had a full thyroid removal last fall. I found out...
