    Welcome Staches and sugars (including lactose) may be hard to digest for the first few months. Eating gluten results in the destruction of villi in the small intesine. These villi contain enzymes which digest starches and sugars; therefore, if they aren't present, then they go through the digestive tract undigested (I believe this is explained better in...

    I got episods of more than normal hunger for a few months after starting the gluten-free diet. This got better with time. High protein foods may help. Try eating foods such as chili, gluten-free meat pies, steak, chicken, fish, turkey, ect.

    If you are second guessing the flu shot try eating anti viral foods such as garlic and onions. I personally got the flu shot this year, but I also eat lots of garlic! Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    I also get frustrated with all the food I have to avoid. I think it's only normal to have those feelings once in a while. Our world does seem to depend on wheat (and dairy ) and it's hard to avoid. When I start getting depressed about celiac disease and all my allergies I just think that I could have got something worse.

    I brought food on the plane fairly soon after the new rules and I was never questioned. I believe that I had gluten-free bread and donutes. I'm actually flying next week and I'm probably bringing gluten-free bread and carrot sticks.

    My guesses are that your body doesn't handle alcohol that well now since you may still be healing or that you are allergic/intolerant to something else in the wine. I can have problems with wine. Certain wines can contain casein (a milk protein) and sulphites. I am allergic to milk and metabisulphite so I'm assuming that was my problem. I have had certain...

    diet coke - gluten-free oatmeal - almost all oats are contaminated with wheat. There are some uncontaminated oats; however, some celiacs do react to the protein in pure uncontaminated oats. rice krispies - not gluten-free, although there is a gluten-free equilvalent. Nature's Path Organic Crispy Rice has gluten-free right on the box. canned kidney beans...

    I remember having knee, hip and mild ankle pain in the months leading up to my diagnosis. My knee and hip pain were the worst by far. I had trouble walking sometimes and had a bit of a limp by times because of the knee pain. All this greatly improved after being gluten-free for a few months, the hip pain bothered me for at least 3-4 months after going on...

    You may have a few options. You could put him back on gluten, but I believe he would have to be eating gluten for at least 3 months. Your other option may be to get a gene test done.

    About 3 years ago I was shedding more than normal hair when I was at my worst (around diagnosis). This improved after being on a gluten-free diet. However, I've noticed recently that I seem to be losing more hair than normal so I've started taking a multivitamin to see if that helps. My hair is also damaged and dry which is very unusual for me. If it doesn...

    Wow! You guys sure got a lot of snow! That's crazy for November. The weather has been a bit odd this fall in Canada. Vancouver got more snow than usual and cold temperatures, it was super cold here in Alberta, Saskatchewan has obviously been cold and has got lots of snow, and on PEI about 2-3 weeks ago people were golfing, mowing lawns, and doing yard...

    Frost bite is possible within one minute in some of these tempertaures in Alberta! This is what we have to look forward to tonight: "The stationary Yukon high which brought frigid conditions to much of Alberta remains entrenched over western Canada. Northwesterly outflow winds from this high over central and southern Alberta are expected to produce extreme...

    These foods almost always make their way into my cart: peppers, baby carrots, bananas, celery, chicken, hamburger, steak, eggs, frozen veggies for Stir fries, Tropicana Calcium Orange Juice, Cranberry juice, So Good soy milk. Every other week or so I'll get these: tuna, frozen berries, onions, garlic, potatoes, rice, sauces, salad dressing, plain popcorn...

    I'm not sure what isn't gluten-free. From what I saw on the bottle of cashews they seemed gluten-free to me! Maybe they are contaminated with gluten? If they respond to me again I'll ask them if you would like.
