    Wow, I just discovered kinnikinnick breads... the italian style tapioca bread and the sandwich bread are so good for sandwiches and toast. The english muffins also made a good sandwich especially if you like peanut butter and jelly. And their blueberry muffins are very close to store-bought "mini muffins" and "otis spunkmeyer muffins"

    They told me they will list gluten but I get really nervous about reading my own label without confirmation.... I have the 'Lipslicks' and I am worried to use it since I will for sure be ingesting at least a small amount. Anyone use it?

    I just got a new job with a cosmetic company, got a lot of new things for sign on and i checked for obvious signs of gluten but I don't know what the ingredients are that have chemical names. I know there is a list somewhere, if anyone has the link please send it to me!

    All I can say is me too. Your story is almost identical to me. The only advice I'm getting now is that it's anxiety symptoms and to calm down or that I was misdiagnosed with celiac diease. I only the same meals cooked the same way. All of my meds have been checked...Cosmetics, coooking utensils. Everything is new and gluten free

    First of all, I haven't been on in a while, but I read your whole ordeal and I really hope things are alright for you. I hope you start feeling better soon and that you find a doctor who works with you. I have been there - during exam week - with appendicitis. No sympathy from the professors, just make sure not to neglect your own body because the grades...

    What questions do I ask them to make sure I will be safe? I don't even want to go now!!! :-/

    I first started having symptoms October 06, and I got diagnosed in July. It's December. Another month gone and I still have not gone a whole day without feeling terrible. It's just getting worse and worse. I'm living off xanax and pepto. My grades and my social life have gone to hell because I don't want to leave my house, but I don't want to be in my house...

    I would try seeing an allergist? That's actually who led me to getting diagnosed (but I got lucky because he has Celiac Disease himself) But everyone here is right it could be allergies to something else. But a lot of your symptoms sound like how I was (and kind of still am) Keep pressing those doctors hard. That's how I got diagnosed in under ...

    So about 2 months after I got sick, my brother started having pains in his intestines and stomach. At first we thought it might be appendicitis or a hernia because he said it felt more like a muscle pain, but the more I talked to him we realized it's probably intestinal spasms....(what you take levsin, etc. for) It finally sent him to the doctor yesterday...

    5'9" and beginning to love it. It was horrible in high school though.

    Just keep remembering it takes time. The thing that made it hard for me personally, was when I told the people are me (my parents, boyfriend, family, best friends) they all just said, "well at least you know what it is" And no one acted like it was a really huge deal in my life. It's one of the biggest things that could actually happen in my life...

    I found this site - dailystrength.org They have communities to join for almost anything that could possibly cause stress or hurt in your life. I've been on a day not only for Celiac Disease but a couple of other psychological issues I've got going on - but after 1 day I feel like I have so many new friends supporting me. It's a really good site to join...

    Haha, my boyfriend and I are moving into a new place together May 1, and we are already planning the kitchen scrubdown that will take place. We have some layover time, where we will have both houses so a whole day is going into kitchen deglutening.

    I'm sorry.

    I can't really tell if you are experiencing swelling, because I don't know what you normally look like, but if it's swollen, try a benadryl. Also ice and cucumbers are good for swelling. I would get as much rest as you can. I do take probiotics but I haven't really had a terrible glutening so I don't know if it makes a difference for me. Best of luck...

    I think they are fine because I got them in the baking section and the only ingredient is almonds, but I just didn't know about the company and CC - wanted to see if any of you have experience.

    Pretty much anything and everything is a symptom of celiac disease. Just kidding, but almost anything and everything are symptoms from complications of celiac disease. When your intestines are so damaged they don't always absorb the amount that they should. You also may have eliminated something that was providing you with the right vitamins and minerals...

    I feel the same way and I have made improvements but I still have a fear to eat because it just doesn't ever feel good. I also get very depressed very easily now, I found it was helpful to see a counselor to help me develop some coping mechanisms and work on the panic over eating. I take it one day at a time, and each night when I go to sleep I just...

    Eggs or egg whites, scrambled. Throw it in a gluten free corn tortilla if you would like - (Mission brand states gluten-free, so get those if they have them in your area) Check out your gluten free cereal selection - hot or cold. There is cream of rice cereals, and I live off cereal by envirokids called "gorilla munch" and "amazon frosted flakes" - they...

    I can't do chocolate but I do the Vanilla midel ones with cream in the middle. They taste nothing like golden oreos, but I did like them because they are a good sugar fix. I would say just buy it and see what you think!

    Here are the ingredients, does anything look like gluten?: Aqua/Water Dimethyl Ether Alcohol Denat. Polyester-5 Polyurethane-6 PEG-192 Apricot Kernel Glycerides PEG-70 Mango Glycerides Limonene Linalool Propylene Glycol Citrus Limonum/Lemon Fruit Extract Hexyl Cinnamal Amyl Cinnamal Parfum/Fragrance If this is questionable, I'm going to...

    I was the one "Ranting" about my room mates all the time earlier this year. I'm the room mate rant queen. (And PS I have signed my prelease for a house with my gluten free boyfriend starting May 1 - I can't wait!) I can tell you this: I have tried everything, I have spelled out my needs numerous times and they have said okay and that they understand...

    If I was in your position, I would give the gluten-free diet a shot, and see if it works (knowing it can take quite a while to heal, but there should be a difference within a week or so; for example, I am not better yet after 4 months but I can tell that eliminating gluten made a difference) Also if you are going to start with the gluten free diet, learn...

    First ingredient in my goldfish food is WHEAT FLOUR. Tell me, how does a fish in nature find a source of wheat - then tell me why it is necessary for my fish food to contain wheat..... If there is special underwater wheat, please fill me in, but otherwise my fish should not have a need for wheat.
