    GFinDC replied to Jewels50's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I quit eating the Quaker chocolate rice cakes also. Not sure what is in them that makes me sick but they sure don't agree with me. Awhile later I stopped all flavored rice cakes as they didn't work no matter what flavor they were. But I can eat plain old rice fine. I hope one of the tests they did was thyroid levels? That being off can sure make...

    Hi ch88, You could try going nightshade free to see if it helps your arthritis. It might help. The common food nightshades are potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, turmeric and paprika. If you try nightshade free for one month that should be enough time to know if it helps IMHO. Sweet potatoes/yams are ok, as they are not nightshades.

    This page on the Pepsi site has a chart that lists allergens that are in some of their beverages. Open Original Shared Link It's a pretty handy chart to look at and find the info. Their sodas are not listed as having wheat, but they didn't put barley in the chart. Rats.

    Hi duliano, Was he tested for celiac disease? If he is positive for celiac disease, you'll need to spend some time learning about it. Celiac disease tends to run in families, so you and your spouse should also be tested if it is celiac. There is another condition called NCGS which some people have. Those people also get sick from eating wheat...

    Charmin has released an important new tool for celiac sufferers, the SitorSquat bathroom finder. No more running in circles or trying every door in the building in a desperate rush. Now you can know right where to go. Get it today for Android phones. Open Original Shared Link A clean nearby public bathroom can be hard to find. But not all restrooms...

    It certainly is dramatic!

    Hi cristiana, My ulcer was sometime after going gluten-free. It was more a constant pain in a definite area, not spread out or diffuse. I wouldn't call it mild pain myself, but it wasn't so bad I couldn't function with aspirin and wine to get to sleep. Aspirin fairly often though and that in itself is not good for your stomach. Your throat feeling...

    Hi cristiana, One of the things they recommend people with heartburn do is to sleep in a more upright position. Similar to sitting in bed. Maybe try that and see if it helps. I had a stomach ulcer in the upper left part of the stomach for a while. Whenever I laid on my left side the acid in my stomach would wash over that area and cause increased...

    Thanks for your post Sue. What happened to you is an example of why it is best to start the gluten-free diet without dairy. It can be hard to identify what food is causing a digestive problem when our guts are constantly irritated and are reacting to all foods. So people can go months having symptoms from dairy and not realize what is causing the issues...

    Hi and welcome to the forum! I'd drop the almonds if you think they might be a problem for you. We can have temporary food intolerances that go away after some months/years healing. I'd also stop the celery as it is a considered a top 14 major allergen in Europe. I can't do celery or carrots myself. If you stay off it for a month and then try it...

    There are some nutritional issues to watch out for in a vegan diet. Personally I don't think it's great idea when the person has a chronic digestive disease that is responsible for causing mal-absorption of nutrients. Vegan in a celiac seems kind of like pouring gas on a fire. The vegan diet makes getting some important nutrients harder, and celiac disease...

    For my recent endoscopy I was put out temporarily. Didn't feel or know a thing untill it was over and I was back in the recovery room. The university of Chicago celiac center recommends 12 weeks of eating a little gluten every day before the blood antibody tests. And 2 weeks of gluten eating before the endoscopy.

    There are several celiac centers in CA. You may have to travel a bit to get to one. Of course that's pretty normal for CA anyway! https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/additional-information/hospitals-labs/

    Hi sddave, I suggest you get your blood glucose checked.

    Hi AE, I don't know how long you've been gluten-free. But recovery can take quote a while. This article has some info on recovery timelines. Open Original Shared Link

    Hmm, here is the list of ingredients for the pre-cooked turkey sausage links. I am not sure if they are the really the problem, but I don't eat them myself, so who knows? Carmel color is generally safe and is derived from corn in the USA at least. Maybe it would be good to contact the company and see what they have to say. Open Original Shared Link ...

    Hi Carla, This is not an article written by the site. This is a thread started by a forum member. The policy is not to remove threads without a violation of the forum rules. Yes, it is an older thread and it is better to read more current information by doing a search. If you have some more current information or research to share on the subject...

    Bourbon is usually made from corn, not wheat or barley. So it is generally gluten-free from the get go. The wisdom of Wiki: Open Original Shared Link Bourbon whiskey Open Original Shared Link is a type of Open Original Shared Link: a barrel-aged Open Original Shared Link made primarily from Open Original Shared Link. The name is ultimately...

    Hmm, I don't see anything about rice wine vinegar in this article you linked? It seems to be about Balsalmic vinegar (grape vinegar) instead. I don't think they even make rice wine vinegar in Italy because they probably don't grow rice there?

    Hi Dave, The University of Chicago celiac center recommends 12 weeks of eating some gluten every day before the blood antibodies, and 2 weeks before the endoscopy. Hopefully your not great GI told you about that. It is called a gluten challenge. Celiac testing isn't perfect, so sometimes people don't get a proper diagnosis. There is a test called...

    Hi M_Smooth, I had reactions to the Honey Chex when they first came out with it years ago. I haven't tried it since though. I have eaten the plain rice Chex and Corn Chex more recently without a problem. The simpler the better I guess. I think Kix cereal is ok. I seldom eat cereal anymore. I do eat Quaker plain rice cakes sometimes for breakfast...

    Hi Gunz, It would be a good idea to have your vitamin and mineral levels checked. Celiac disease can cause malabsorption and that can lead to many problems and symptoms. Our bodies really do need vitamins and minerals to function correctly. When we don't get enough of certain vitamins and minerals we can have symptoms that vary widely. you may have...

    Interesting Ennis. I don't see how they can label it honey, seems to not make sense. Kind of a stretch I think. Here is an article about Fibersol-2. Seems they think it is helpful for something in the gut. Dietary fiber seems to get a lot of positive reviews in medicine circles. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link 2015;...
