    Ahh, yep that were the person, twas you indeed IH! We'll keep the gluten in a lead lined box when you're around then.

    That's great that he is starting understand the cc issue Solacey. I didn't believe crumbs could make me sick after first going gluten-free myself, but found out they can pretty quick. Maybe he hasn't thought about the 20 ppm rule? The FDA set the upper limit of gluten in foods labeled gluten-free as 20 parts per million this year. A not totatally accurate...

    Hi, Another thing to consider and make sure the doctor understands also is that your symptoms improved after cutting down gluten. There has to be a reason for that to happen. Plus you had symptoms start after eating gluten. Our bodies can tell us quite a bit about the foods they are ok with vs the ones that cause a problem. They tend to say "don't...

    Psyillium husks are good for thickening water containing liquids. Not sure if the would work for a roux tho.

    Hi, Do you have a celiac support group in your area? If you do you could check with them for suggestions on "known" safe places to eat. You can also find celiacs experiences for many products right on this forum. There is a search option on the top right of the forum page. Many times you can find information on manufacturers websites also.

    Nope. I didn't have that symptom. They say B vitamins are important for nerve healing. Your body needs more vitamins and minerals for the healing process. So it might help to supplement them. Might even help that heart symptoms after a while hopefully.

    Good deal Serielda. Creatine is a natural body chemical that our livers make. But I figure it is ok to take a little of the burden off the liver. And since celiacs are often in bad shape absorption wise, it also frees up those amino acids to be used for something else besides making creatine. Elevated liver enzymes can occur in untreated celiacs due to...

    I take Jarrow Formulas EPS. But there are many others to choose from. Some posters like Culterelle.

    Hi Serielda, Since you are vegan, you might want to check out creatine supplements. You may find you thinker thing works better with a creatine supplement. But I believe it will also improve with more time on the gluten-free diet. As your gut heals and can absorb nutrients better, your body will be able to heal better. @athomp, Thanks for the...

    Hi Spirit22, You could go to a health food store and pick up store pysillum husks. Then you can stir in a 1/2 teaspoon or so into whatever food you are eating. or just throw it on top. They are tasteless so don't interfere with food flavors. They do tend to thicken things because they absorb lots of water. You should make sure to drink a glass of...

    Hi Dee, They use ultrasound to break up gall stones sometimes. I haven't had it done so I can't describe the process. If you search the forum for gallbladder there are many threads about it.

    Hard to tell CJ, hard to tell. I had a bad reaction to a Ivanovitch Peach vodka. Smirnoff was fine 4 me tho. They don't reveal the ingredients of alcoholic drinks on the label like they do foods. So it's anybodies guess what is in the stuff. You may have to experiment a little. Tito's vodka is made from corn, and is gluten-free. Open Original Shared...

    It may be the particular rum you were drinking. You could try something else, like tequila or vodka instead. There are gluten-free ciders available now also and gluten-free beers.

    Hi DV, You can try an Natural Sources Raw Thyroid. It's available without prescription. I take it once a week. Selenium may help also. Check your vitamins because not all of them have it. Or you can eat a Brazil nut once a week or so. I like NatureMade multivitamins or single vitamins. They are one of only 4 companies that have their vitamins...

    I don't think your doctor is unusual in being out of the loop on celiac disease. I doubt he will pay you back but, can't hurt to ask right? You can find lists of related conditions by searching on "celiac disease related condition" or "celiac disease associated" condition". Celiac disease was considered a rare condition until the last few years. ...

    Hi Icelandgirl, The test for Hashimoto's thyroiditis (which leads to hypothyroidism) is a TPO antibodies test. Hashimoto's is one of the autoimmune conditions associated with celiac disease.

    Hi SW, Since you are having pain in your hips related to the popping it makes sense to see a doctor about it. A rheumatologist is a specialist in issues related to joints and might be able to help. http://www.rheumatology.org/Practice/Clinical/Patients/What_is_a_Rheumatologist_/ You also said that certain foods seem to affect the joint popping...

    Hi Lasvegas, There are some things that I would consider safe. Mission brand corn tortillas are made on dedicated lines and are gluten-free. They only have a few ingredients and have never given me problems. There are some rice wraps like Food For Life brown rice tortillas and Rudi's wraps that are fine. Nuts are often ok, but you need to verify...

    Low thyroid hormones and diabetic nerve damage can cause C also. Just some other things to consider as it is not always diet.

    Hi LV, I went for the technicolor stool myself. Pale tannish, black as night, green as cucumber! A little bleeding thrown in sometimes for added flare. The gallbladder releases bile into the duodenum in response to chemical signals from the small intestine. Those chemical signals are dependent on things in the small intestine being in good repair...

    Hi Willow, When our guts are damaged, they aren't going to react like normal, healthy, undamaged guts do. For one thing, they can be sensitive and inflamed and that can cause problems. Also all that disruption in the gut leads to upsets in the gut flora balance. So we may react to foods that otherwise wouldn't bother us because our guts are basically...
