    Welcome to the forum Justneguy! Peter got it right, wheat, rye, barley, oats. Oats are very often contaminated with other gluten grains in processing. Some celiacs react to them the same way as they react to wheat, rye and barley though, even if they are not contaminated. So to be on the safe side and give yourself the best chance of healing, it is...

    Hmm, anti-histamines usually help with allergy symptoms. I've heard coconut oil can help itching sometimes. Might be worth a try.

    Hi Momida, The last weather report I on the weather channel saw said the next polar vortex won't be as bad as the first one. But it does look like it is going to have some helpers this time. So it might be good to bar the doors anyway. Open Original Shared Link

    Hi Paints, Since you have been gluten-free and are healing your gut, the meds are probably absorbing more than before. So you may not need as high a dose of thyroid med as previously. They may need to be adjusted down in strength. Or taken less frequently. I take Natural Sources raw thyroid myself. I take it three times a week, not everyday. ...

    Hi Elisabeth, Welcome to the forum! I know it can be hard to feel sick and weak for a long time. It takes quite a bit of patience to deal with some of these things and faith that it will improve over time. It may not be a quick fix, but getting your diet right will make a positive difference over time. I also had reactions to many gluten-free...

    Hi Donna, I suggest not eating out for a month to see if that helps.

    Hi Diane, Copying and pasting works fine for me with Mozilla Firefox.. You can also use control C to copy and control V to paste. That's how I pasted the link to this thread below: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/105896-is-it-just-me-or-are-others-not-able-to-copy-and-paste-links/#entry902398 Maybe you should run a virus scan on your...

    Since there is no requirement for them to test the supplement for gluten (in USA), you are going purely on their guess about it being gluten-free. Why take chances with someone else's guesswork? You didn't say they test it for gluten so I figure that means they don't. There are plenty of supplements to choose from and also plenty of whole foods that have...

    2nd time that one fellas house was destroyed by ice tsunamis. Maybe next time he'll build a wall or move. The sound it made was weird. Like shattering crystals over and over. They say polar vortex 2 is coming in another 10 days tho. So not over yet!

    This sounds like a real advance in celiac disease testing. A three day gluten challenge is so much better than a 3 month gluten challenge!

    I like Karen's idea of using egg to hold the fries together. Probably other things we could sue too ifn some of us put out noodles together.

    Hi, If you got glutened, then you know you have been damaged. No doubt about it. The immune system doesn't take breaks from celiac disease just because you are lax in your diet. What's more important than additional testing is getting away from the attitude that is is ok to be lax and take chances. As long as you have an attitude that it doesn't matter...

    Hi KLH123. Can you ask the doctor to do the celiac disease antibodies panel? Constipation is one symptom that people with celiac disease get at times. If you have celiac disease the problem won't go away permanently until you are on the gluten-free diet. The antibodie testing is a simple blood draw to send to a lab. They should also test your vitamins...

    Hi Kim, If the h. pylori does come back someday, you can try some natural treatments for it. DGL and mastic gum are two natural treatments that help.

    Hi Renaye, Scalloping is a sign of more severe villi damage. Your new gastro needs some time to review your tests and history I suppose but hopefully he won't need too long. Your idea of using aluminum foil on the grill sounds good. You will have to watch out for sharing utensils tho. That would be an easy mistake to make. Maybe it would be safer...

    Hi Fastturtle, Some times cooks will toast buns on the grill. Or will cook breaded meats etc on the grill. And they may use the same spatula for flipping your order that is gluten-free as they use for breaded foods. It's easy for food to get contaminated in a restraunt kitchen, even if it started out perfectly gluten-free. You might do better if they...

    You may need to really clean up your diet and remove any possibility of cross contamination and hidden gluten. It doesn't take much gluten to turn the immune attack on. Can you switch to eating only whole foods for a few months and see if it helps? I assume you are doing the cooking yourself also. If not, you should start doing your own cooking. And...

    Hi Penny, Would you mind posting the store name and brand of chicken that has wheat on the label? It might help someone else avoid it who isn't paying attention. I have seen meats with wheat listed as ingredients, but it was usually in a flavor packet that was a separate item in the package. Or on more processed meats. I wonder if some companies...

    Hi NIck, If the product doesn't list wheat, rye, barley or oats and is not made on shared equipment then I will consider it. As long as it doesn't have any of my other bad list foods on it. If it was something I wasn't sure about and I really wanted to try it, I'd check on this site by doing a search for the item. I'd also probably check the manufacturers...

    I don't think they disappear Cristiana. They tend to have babies instead! They really aren't something to worry about usually. Many people have them and never even know it. On the odd chance that there is a bad one, they would probably remove the thyroid, and start you on thyroid replacement hormones. But that is only a 10% chance or less. Thyroid nodules...

    Hi DJ, Many of the members here are not officially diagnosed celiac. But we do know how our bodies react to eating gluten. If it hurts don't eat it is simple way to think about it. A dr's opinion can't change how our bodies react, and there is no cure for celiac disease at the moment. So there is limited value to a formal diagnosis IMHO. But each...
