    I'm in Alberta.

    Thanks, I understand now what you meant.

    I would be interested in seing research done on the effects of soy on people with celiac disease. You should ask your doctor if any studies have been done where the small intestine has been biopsed in individuals following a strick gluten-free diet while eating soy. Studies like this have been done with pure uncontaminated oats and some people have damage...

    I can't believe he was mad! You can't help it! Hopefully things will move quickly.

    I'm glad you are safe at home. Yeah it is really cold out there. It's -33 here with a wind chill of -45!

    I have celiac disease and I've also tested positive for wheat allergy.

    I'm glad that the doctors have made a diagnosis. I hope that you start to feel better soon. I have read that chron's can be put into remission by diet without the medication. Some of those meds like predinose can be really tough on the system (I've been on predinose before and it was a werid little drug). The diet I've read and heard about that works...

    I have been in a similar situation. I decided not to mention my problems at work related dinners/lunchs and just eat my own food before/after or at the meal. I did this because I don't like my problems to be the center of attention. However, I have found that if I don't mention that I have celiac disease and/or food allergies from the begginning that people...

    I am sorry... You can get diagnosed with celiac disease at any age. I would consider changing doctors and/or request a celiac blood test (tissue transglutamase) as soon as possible. If he goes on a gluten-free diet, blood and biopsy tests for celiac disease may be false negative.

    I hope that everything is fine and the bus gets you home safely and on time (hopefully early).
  12. Carriefaith
    Some of the symptoms are similar between stomach flu and getting glutened. I can tell when I am glutened because I usually get a rash. I also get depressed and irritable.
  13. Carriefaith
    Yeah we are under a blizzard warning too. That's really too bad... Hopefully the bus will be early.
  14. Carriefaith
    Oh no! I'm sorry That's not good at all that they delayed your bus. There is a storm starting in BC and making it's way across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. It's already started snowing here where I live in Northern Alberta. I hope the storm doesn't start where you are until you get home. Let us know when you get home.
  15. Carriefaith
    I'm guessing they aren't sold in Canada. Ah well. Maybe I'll get someone I know to get some for me. The warning does bother me, but some people don't seem to get a reaction. I have reacted to lays regualar chips and regular stacks before, but I believe it was a dairy reaction (I could be wrong though).
  16. Carriefaith
    Tell her that I'm glad the appointmet went well and that I'm sorry that she has to wait for the bus. The buses out here take too long!
  17. Carriefaith
    In the book I read (I think it's the Danna Korn one), I learned that the enzymes that break down the starches are near the bottom/middle?(don't remember) of the villi and the enzymes that break down lactose are near the tips of the villi. The tips would heal last, so that explains why so many people with celiac disease have lactose intolerance for a while...

    I wonder if I can buy Mission brand in Canada... Anyone know?
  19. Carriefaith
    I also get really excited in those kind of stores.
  20. Carriefaith
    Thanks so much for you help Andrea. The article is very interesting. This is interesting because I started getting allergic to foods around the same time I started getting sick with celiac disease.
  21. Carriefaith
    I don't think that I have ever had the natural Tostitos. Maybe I will try those...
  22. Carriefaith
    Thanks everyone for all your help. I really appreciate your responses. Based on your advice, I've decided not to challenge foods unless I am in a controlled environment. I'm highly considering challenging the foods in a controlled setting and/or getting more testing done. I would never go back to eating wheat since I have celiac disease... I guess I just...
  23. Carriefaith
    I am getting frustrated and I need some advice. I have mulltiple food allegies in addition to having celiac disease (just check out my signature ). One of these allergens causes a severe reaction in which I now carry epi-pens and wear a medical alert bracelet. However, I am not sure which one is the culprit! My suspisions are wheat or milk, but I am...
  24. Carriefaith
    I wouldn't have eaten them either. I've been in a similar situation, but you have to do what is best for your health, even if it hurts someone's feelings or makes them mad.
  25. Carriefaith
    Thanks everyone! Seems like most people can tolerate tostitos, I may be brave and try them. Que Pasa chips are good, but they are contaminated with dairy. I'm planning on challenging my milk allergy in the future, so maybe I'll be able to eat them!
