Do Celiacs get increased Covd-19 Vaccine Reactions
ravenwoodglass replied to irhappygf's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
i agree with both Scott and Trents. Do make sure that you are using your arm even if it is uncomfortable and ask your doctor if warm compresses might help with any stiffness. -
Wrongly diagnosed with Celiac Disease?
ravenwoodglass replied to Cbkilpatrick's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Welcome to the board. Not much time but thought i should respond. While most people with celiac do have either DQ2 or DQ8 there are the rare cases, like my own, that folks have a different gene. I am a double DQ9 and am a firmly diagnosed celiac. My reactions are severe in part I think because i... -

It might be a good idea to contact your doctor. I doubt they will immediately want to scope. Blood testing and stool testing would be a good first step. in addition is there anything new as far as meds, toiletries, a new gluten eating significant other or gluten eating pet that could be CCing you...

The Bakery at Walmart Gluten-Free Chocolate Brownies

Personally if they make them in their bakery I wouldn't touch them as I would fear CC to be a big issue.- 3 comments

Corn no good?
ravenwoodglass replied to JamesDelaney's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
the gluten in corn is a different form than in wheat, rye and barley. it is fine for those with celiac as long as it isn't cross contaminated. Of course there are some folks who won't tolerate it but it isn't something that a celiac needs to avoid. -
How do you handle glutenous gifts?
ravenwoodglass replied to GodsGal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'd rather they give me obviously gluteny gifts than try and do gluten free for me. That can be even more difficult. I think you handled it well by simply giving them to someone who could use them. Perhaps your Mom could talk to close family members about gifting you something non-edible or a premade... -
is jasmine rice ok?
ravenwoodglass replied to gdash's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If it is plain rice cooked at home it should be fine. -

Just diagnosed celiac and terrified of MS
ravenwoodglass replied to Kyleweber's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
If you are having symptoms suggestive of MS it could be that the antibodies are attacking your nervous system or that vitamin levels in certain vitamins are low. I was thought to have MS before diagnosis since I had brain lesions suggetive of it. A spinal tap ruled it out when debris suggestive of...- 17 replies

I had a Quaker Parrot when I was first diagnosed. In my case I found cage cleaning and feeding to be an issue. I wasn't able to find a gluten free food for him and I think the dust from his food got to me more than handling him. I hope you are able to find a gluten free food for him as they are great...

Positive skin biopsy negative blood tests and endoscopy
ravenwoodglass replied to Ram's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Yes it is quite possible. Folks with DH can also tend to be more sensistive to cross contamination. It can take some time for the antibodies to leave the skin so do be as strict as you can. Many also find it helpful to avoid iodine for a bit. After you have healed do add iodine back in as it is an... -

Bread
ravenwoodglass replied to marriedmomm's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Canyon Bakehouse has a pretty good gluten-free "rye" bread. No rye in it but it does taste quite like the rye bread I remember. I eat it frequently toasted with gobs of butter. I find it in the frezzer section of my local Wegmans but am sure it is also available elsewhere. Oh and as a bonus if you... -
I can only speak from my own experience of course it may not apply to yourself. I had celiac since childhood and had extremely violent D for about 15 years before I was diagnosed in my 40's. About 2 years before diagnosis I had a colonoscopy done. The doctor said that I had extensive diverticulosis...
