Thanks, you guys, for coming through yet again with fast & accurate information! Cheers, Scott_in_PA

Hello everyone. I'm confused about the allergen listing on the pre-packaged Kellogg's brand Rice Krispie treats-- my son loves these and takes them with his lunch sometimes as a snack. I'm wondering if I could eat them too (I'm the celiac in the house)? Kellogg's lists only the following: CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS. Are the ingredients in these different...

Yes...the staff (including our server) seemed to have some knowledge of the condition. They were very nice and understanding! The key, I guess, is just communicating. I did not talk about the CC issue-- so I would just make sure that they understood the dangers (oops-- I really should have addressed that issue!). I didn't catch the name of our server but...

Hello, Well it's official-- the biopsy results are in as of yesterday. I've been gluten-free for the past 11 days and already feel a world of difference. My colleagues at work have said to me, "Your skin tone no longer looks gray-- you have some color back in your face ." It feels good to begin to feel good again. I wanted to let those in South-Central...

Mission makes white corn tortillas "Restaurant Style" which are gluten-free. However in my grocery store, I've only been able to find the small sized ones and not the full-sized ones-- at any rate, they're pretty soft-- close to the traditional flour based tortillas. I was surprised to see this "mainstream" food list itself boldly as "GLUTEN FREE". They...

Thanks, everyone, for the excellent advice. Yes, I had seen the "safe" and "unsafe" lists on Celiac.com-- many thanks-- next time, I'll print them out and tote them with me to the grocery store. I am in south-central PA and am located about 40 miles between two different Wegmans-- Trader Joe's is not too terribly far away either (about 45 miles) and...

You should be able to see a specialist before 4 months-- that is just crazy-- Is it possible for you to try another G.I. office/group and explain your situation. Granted, i had to wait about a month, but one month is much different from four months...I just had the endoscopy this week-- showed sure signs of Celiac. Again, the ultimate decision is yours...

Hello again, Since my recent Celiac diagnosis (this week), I decided to venture to the Grocery store-- a trip which took me about 2 hrs. to complete-- is this normal or I am I being overly-neurotic about reading labels. I just wish making more complicated selections could be as easy as picking up a bag of grapes or apples...but instead, I agonized over purchasing...

Thanks very much for the advice-- the whole thing is a bit overwhelming. Starting simple is a good idea!

Hello everyone, I just had my endoscopy this afternoon which confirmed my Celiac (had tested a "strong positive" on my bloodwork from about 3 wks ago). The results revealed Duodenitis with ulcerations (lots); evidence of scalloping og mucosa as well. They took multiple biopsies, too, but those results won't be back for about 2 wks. My question is...what...

Thanks for all the excellent advice!! I should have mentioned that my G.I specialist phoned me to tell me that she looked at my blood work results and that prompted her to contact me to make sure that I added an endoscopy to my colonoscopy appointment. I didn't have a consultation with her yet to discuss my lab results. I do not think she was not being...

Hi everyone, I am brand new to this forum as I have just received news last evening that my blood work numbers were all "Strong positives" for Celiac. I have an endoscopy scheduled ten days from now to confirm. My G.I. specialist did not disclose my specific numbers-- she wants to be sure that the biopsy results are not spoiled by me jumping the gun and...
