Hi I've been going gluten-free for past 2 months, but I think I may have found a problem ingredent in my instant potato mix. It's called MALTODEXTRIN, and when I checked out the safe/unsafe food list here it said that DEXTRIN is not safe, but MALTODEXTRIN was safe. Apparently, if it's made in the USA, it's supposed to be from corn starch or potato...

Hi: I, too, have had sacroilliac pain, on and off, for past year. Also getting shoulder pain (2 yrs) and knees are popping and grinding (1 yr). Could my heal pain also be due to not enough calcaum? Not only was I a Celiac baby but also born with an incomplete stomach lining. Couldn't have whole milk till I was 6 yrs old. Mom said she had to raise...

It may not have shown up as positive, yet, but that is what it is! To the parient who said "...it is unlikely to be strep in a healthy child -- at least this is what I am told." We (Celiac's) are...

I was diagnosed a Celiac baby, but my Mom didn't keep me on the gluten-free once I reached my teens. My whole mother's side of the family moved away to Florida, when I reached my twenties, and haven't had anyone to discuss it with. But, considering the links to different diseases/conditions, I would have to say it does run in my family. My mom had...

Hi everyone, kinda new to this message board, but not to being a Celiac! I didn't realize how many different things that I considered "normal" for myself. And now with your list, I'm realizing just how many ways eating wheat was affecting me! My mom thought it was just a childhood condition, and if I survived, that I would be OK. Since I only have...
