    I think it's time to find a new doctor. Celiacs have been mistreated this way for the entire time I've operated this site, and this board is filled with stories similar to yours. Regarding the cross-contamination you experienced, given that you are so sensitive you may be interested in a post I just made on this thread:

    So my daughter, mother and myself have been using it for a couple of years now with no side effects whatsoever. Full disclosure they are a site sponsor here. You can read this true story of an incident with my mom, who is also gluten-free, at a past Thanksgiving dinner at my house: I disagree that it is just a "stopgap," and personally believe that...

    I think so, and the only other one that is close is Schar pasta. I think both Barilla and Schar are among the few gluten-free pastas out there that are indistinguishable from regular wheat pastas that most people are used to. Barilla is easier to find, and is at Safeway, Target, Walmart, etc.

    For most of my youth I had chronically clogged sinuses, the issue seemed to be magnified when I slept, and for years I was taking both pollen and food allergy shots to help deal with it. However, it wasn't until I was diagnosed with celiac disease in my mid-twenties and went gluten-free that my sinus issues began to improve. I suspect that my immune system...

    Hives and welts are typically associated with allergies or things like contact with poison ivy or poison oak. If yours look like tiny blisters with clear heads, and are very itchy, they could also be dermatitis herpetiformis, and if so, a gluten-free diet would be the way to go. Of course the best approach for you would be to see a dermatologist or your doctor...

    More information about "Are Swedish Fish Gluten-Free?"
    Celiac.com 12/22/2020 - We get countless questions about celiac disease and candy. Believe it or not, one question we get a lot is about Swedish Fish. Specifically, are Swedish Fish gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?...

    If she's strict about her diet, then it is still possible that some of the processed foods that she might be eating, even if labelled "gluten-free," could be contaminated, but the more likely culprit would be eating out. Do you eat food from restaurants, or prepared by friends or relatives?

    Understood, I could not find that product online. Can you post its ingredients here, or a link to the product?

    You did not mention how old your daughter is, but I, as the admin and owner of this board, was horrified to learn (and ashamed to admit) that my teenage daughter was regularly cheating on her gluten-free diet. It was mostly due to peer pressure when she was with friends, or her soccer team. Since I could not control this the most I could do was get her to...

    The only issue with distilled water is that it also removes all minerals. Throughout Asia, and in our home, they use these, which simply boil the water, keep it hot, and you can dispense it whenever you like. the only issue is the need to refill it regularly (we use a Britta pitcher that filters it beforehand), and you need to clean it thoroughly once in...

    @Ennis_TX is still around...he should get this and reply when he has time.

    If you have the bottle, please share the ingredients and we can let you know if there are any issues, but I doubt there would be.

    I just saw an article today that indicated that both Moderna and Pfizer are now testing their new vaccines against this new strain.

    Not to freak anyone out, but there seem to be so many celiacs who have difficulty recovering that I wanted to share this story about "biofilm," which can be inside of pipes in older homes. It looks like some people with this issue may need to boil their water, or order bottled drinking water: https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/16/health/waterborne-diseases...

    I believe Cliff Bars are gluten-free, but there are a lot of bars now that are labelled "gluten-free".

    More information about "The Appeal of Vaccine Treatments for Celiac Disease"
    Celiac.com 12/21/2020 - Recent leaps in understanding the development of celiac disease have led efforts toward a new, non-dietary, vaccine therapy. A lifelong gluten-free diet remains the only treatment for celiac disease, but research...

    Hopefully they are out there an healthy! They are certainly welcome to chime in and let us know. Hopefully they will get these notifications.

    Thank you @knitty kitty, I am taking Benfotiamine that was recommended to me by @Posterboy, as well as Magnesium Citrate and other vitamins like B complex, C, and D, to deal with RLS and now apnea. As my grandmother used to say..."it's hell getting old." I had no idea what she meant at the time because I was young.

    The article is just a summary of the published research. We typically don't inject other ideas or topics into our research summaries, but we do that when doing our own original articles that are not just summaries of research.
  22. Scott Adams
    Interesting, and I've been taking thiamine now for a couple of months, so we will see if it helps with my apnea.

    Be sure to re-check your diet and make sure it is 100% gluten-free. Eating out can definitely lead to cross-contamination.
