    How will you be able to convince your patients to do things that are in the best interest of their health when you aren't willing to do so yourself? (Conjurs up pictures of big fat doc who chain smokes telling pt to lose weight and stop smoking. ) I don't mean to be critical to you in any way. I was always the type of person who thought anyone with any...

    Janine, Do you have any problems with the green tea? I was still having the big D every weekday morning so this week I cut out my usual green tea (lipton w/caff) with honey and the hand full of almonds. No D for two days. I have no problem with dairy and still eat string cheese every morning with no problem. I'm gonna give it this week and try adding...

    Oh, yeah, Charlotte - never tell them!! There are quite a few of the gluten-free mixes that are great. I requested that the commissary get some gluten-free stuff (I'm a Navy wife) and they had them in about 3 weeks - 6 different kinds. They are actually pretty good and I'll bet your family would never know! If you ask at your grocery store, I'll bet they...

    Charlotte, You have got to take the time to take care of yourself! Who is going to cook for your family if you are gone in three years?? Take the time to do it now while you still can. You are too young to be so miserable! My first recommendation is to check out this website: Open Original Shared Link It is another forum similar to this one but one...

    There is a huge confirmed products list on delphi forums: Open Original Shared Link Just scroll down to the confirmed products list and there are sections on just about everything you would want! You can download this and save as a word file (I think you have to unzip). Hope this helps. I find the delphi forum to be very informational. Celeste,...

    I use the Tinkyada spaghetti noodles w/no oil and have not had a problem with sticking. I do put salt in the water and stir well after adding the noodles to make sure they don't stick at first, then let them boil away for 16 minutes. I don't even rinse them - just added pesto. Celeste Jax FL

    I am no expert on diet and nutrition by any means, but my instincts and everything I have ever learned tells me that eating carbs all day and getting no exercise is just diabetes waiting to happen! I probably have not had as much physical pain as many of you, but I did feel too crummy to exercise before going gluten-free due to not keeping any food in me...

    I chew Dentyne Ice all the time. I would be very surprised if there is gluten in gum. Nothing I have read would indicate this. Perhaps they are having problems with the artificial sweetener if it's a sugar-free gum. This would be much more common. I believe that aspartame (nutra-sweet) is poison.

    And I will add two more Celiac related forums that have been invaluable to me in the month or so since I was diagnosed: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I want to strongly suggest that you not start by buying a bunch if gluten-free substitute breads, cookies, etc. (junk food, basically) and stick with eating whole foods as much as...

    Best cocktail sauce there is: homemade. ketchup (Heinz is gluten-free) worchestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins) lemon juice horseradish - as much as you can stand! Adjust quantities to taste. yummy. Celeste

    BamBam: Annie's has small packets you can carry in your purse - you can get them at the Gluten Free Trading Company - web site is www.foodforceliacs.com. A lot of Kraft dressings are gluten-free. Kraft is a company which will always list any gluten source clearly on the label, so you don't have to wonder. If you don't see wheat, barley, rye, oats, then...

    It is so refreshing to actually hear people say they'd just stick with the diet. We live in such a "take a pill and it'll be okay" kind of time that I expected more people would go with that option. I have to agree. I don't think a medication could be developed which could guarantee that I wouldn't have other problems in the long run. Same kind of reasoning...

    I chew the Dentyne cool mint gum - there are several flavors. I'm pretty sure all Dentyne gums are gluten-free.

    I'll second that, richard. Sometimes you just can't help it, but limit eating out as much as you have the power to.

    I feel the same way. I am only gluten-free for a month and I still drink a cup of decaf coffee almost every day, a Coke every now and then (maybe 2 per week) and any food I want as long as it's gluten-free - although we do eat healthy at home, mostly whole food, not much manufactured stuff. I eat a LOT of fruit since it's all in season right now and yummy...

    This is just a theory, but perhaps the lactose free variety is not gluten-free? I had read somewhere to be very careful of the sugar-free, low-fat or otherwise different varieties of safe foods because their formulations are completely different. I know that the regular Breyer's full-fat stuff is gluten-free because I have eaten them (and the label is VERY...

    The Yahoo forum for Celiac Disease, Open Original Shared Link , has over 100 restaurants listed and is also a good source of other information. You can log in as a member - it's very easy - and go to the files for an abundance of information. Also, the Delphi Forum, Open Original Shared Link has some great information as well. These are the three sites...

    I've been on ortho-novum 777 forever and it's one that is typically given out at clinics (I first got mine at a health dept 18 years ago). I have never had any problems with it, but have not checked it specifically with the manufacturer.

    I will send an e-mail to Sam's today making the same request - power in numbers, folks. Just saw it in action with the allergy law just signed!

    You can't absorb the gluten through your skin, so even if the adhesive had gluten, it would be okay - unless you are licking it, of course! And I have seen quite a bit recently about envelopes not containing gluten anymore, but I'm not licking them if I can remember not to. Have a bit of a brain cramp on that one every now and again! I have been...

    This link is to the best list I have found. I still contact most manufacturers directly by e-mail if I'm not absolutely sure. Most are great to respond right away. I understand that the CSA list is somewhat outdated. I started off using it, but this one seems to be more user-friendly: Open Original Shared Link If this link doesn't work for some...

    Cool - thanks, guys. I expected the gluten gestappo to yell at me for being so careless! I appreciate all the information I receive on this site so much - I can't imagine how people coped in the "old days" before this was available! I feel much better informed than even my doc probably is (haven't seen him since diagnosis). I see a dietician tomorrow...

    I had specifically e-mailed them about their Cajun seasoning and they told me it was gluten-free, and sent me a gluten-free list. I wrote back and asked them why the Cajun seasoning wasn't on the gluten-free list. This was their response. They were very prompt in their responses. So, just because a blend is not on this list does not mean that it's not...

    Oops - there was more to the list: Vodkas (00/00/00) Bellevedere (one from potato - not from rye); Black Death (beet); Bushman's (Australia) (100% cane); Chopin (potato); Hamptons Vodka (made in USA is made from corn -- 877-937-5951); Jinro Soju (a Korean vodka made entirely from sweet potatoes); Kamchatka Vodka 80% (California only - corn); Luksusowa ...
