    Wow!! thank you sooo much! that helped me a lot. I figured it could have been the seasoning. This isnt the first time I felt odd and had some sores on my lips and in my mouth after I ate it. And, it helps explain my daughters itching. Thanks again!!

    Hello, does anyone know if Cavenders ( I think thats how its spelled) Greek Seasoning is gluten free? My daughter has been gluten free for a couple of months now, and suddenly she is itching, and breaking out again, and we are trying to figure out what could have happened. That seasoning is the only thing I can think of. Im celiac too, and my lips are started...

    Hello Amy Joe! I just wanted to drop in, and give you my short version of my story, anyway, after years, most of my adult life, being dianosed with IBS, and all given all the meds, that werent helping by the way, I almost given up. 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with rhumotoid arthritis, and about 3 years ago, my vitamin d levels were almost non existant! which...

    Hello, I was glutened Friday by drinking a Mojito, I didnt realize til it was too late that the bottled kind was a Malt beverage, a flavored Beer! anyway, that night, through all of Saturday, I had stomach issues. The pain and bloating started Fri nite, but didnt get the "bad" stuff til late Sat afternoon, also, my joints started hurting in my hands. Could...

    Hi all! you know those big round chubs of ground beef you get a wal-mart, is it possible there is some sort of gluten ingredient added? or is it just 100% beef?

    The Walmart brand is gluten free, says it right on the bag...

    Hello everyone! Its interesting to learn about all these symptoms are related to gluten. After I gave up gluten back in October, I was able to stop the Prilosec completley! my old gi doc, had me taking two a day, instead of just one. I was so sick of those old gi docs that I seen in the past, only telling me to take more pills, to "relieve" my symptoms. The...

    The answer I think to most of your questions, are yes, but as far as how long it takes for tests to be ordered, that depends a lot on how busy the doc is and your insurance. The Endoscopy is very easy. Only takes a few minutes, but you cannot eat or drink before it, so I would ask it to be scheduled first thing in the morning, to get it over with. Good luck...

    Hello Nicole. Just thought I would say a little something here. I would def. recommend going gluten free. I have suffered most of my adult life, and have been gluten free now since October, and I have to say, I feel 70-80-% better! my blood tests came back neg, and I just had my colonoscopy and endoscopy last week, but I have a feeling that will be neg for...

    Hello, how long did it take her to notice any improvement?
  14. dizzygrinch
    Hello all! I had by endo and colonoscopy yesterday, I guess all went well. I wont know anything though, until my follow up, which isnt until May 1st. The doctor took biopsies, and she said she took several, in different places, (she is suppose to be very knowledgeable in Celiacs) even though I have been gluten free for almost 6 months..best to see whats going...

    Hello, yes, I am getting this prescribed by my endocrinologist. At first she had me on it once a month, no improvement, so for the past couple of months its been once a week. I appreciate your concern, but trust me, I dont go around self-medicating.... this is prescribed by my doc...thanks

    Hello all, just thought I would post here. Im suppose to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy this Thursday, unless this problem I have with the paperwork doesnt resolve, but anyway...just wondering if its even worth it? Im gluten free since October, so not sure what they will find if anything. But, Im severaly vitamin d defeciant, my doc seems to think its...

    Thanks all! Ravenwoodglass, that is interesting about the gene testing. Im going to follow up with my doc next month, Im still getting scoped next week, but she mentioned we might still do gene testing. Im wondering what that will uncover..but, all in all, I love being gluten free!

    I just wanted to spread some of my happy news, I was diagnosed a little over a year ago with rhumotoid (sp) arthiritis, and now, all my blood tests came back normal! I explained to my dr. about how I have been gluten free since October, and he said he has actually seen cases where the inflammation clears up, after being gluten free. I still have pain in joints...

    Hi! it could have been, although sometimes I can eat a small amount of dairy and be ok, I can eat yogurts, but I was really curous about the ice cream. I thought I read somewhere that Dairy Queen has gluten, so I thought that was interesting....Im gonna call Sams and ask them, hopefully they will know what Im talking about!
  20. dizzygrinch
    Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the soft serve vanilla ice cream, that you can get at the Sams Clubs snack bar, is gluten free? I did eat, about 1/4 of one, and it was really thick, so I stopped, just to be safe, and sure enough, stomach issues. Could it have been from that?

    Hello, just thought I would post a question here, I have been doing very well on the gluten free diet, but I was wondering, are there tests for gluten sensitivity, or just celiac disease? what is the difference? I had blood work done in the past, came back negative for celiacs, but I have been doing so much better avoiding gluten, that I was just wondering...
  22. dizzygrinch
    Hello all! just wanted to update here. I have been gluten free since October, and I have to say I feel 70% better! I still have issues, but not as bad. I still have "arthritis" although I was hoping that would be better, and I am pre-diabetic, but nothing that exercise and diet wont help. The toughest part is finding the gluten free foods, but its getting...
  23. dizzygrinch
    Hello, I would have to agree. I think it would depend on the specific GI doc you see. I went there about 10 years ago, had tons of tests, and was diagnosed with the famous IBS. I can tell you, Celiac and Gluten Sensitivity was never mentioned. I was given the lovely meds for cramping, and sent on my way. Dont get me wrong, that doctor was very kind, did run...

    I guess the moral of the story here is this: don't believe everything a doctor tells you do your own research eating right can be more powerful than medication don't look for a pill as a quick fix it takes discipline and commitment but it will pay off AMEN!!
  25. dizzygrinch
    I was just wondering, after all these different opinions and advice on these boards, which way seems to be the most accurate in diagnosing celiacs? would it be blood tests, biopsies, or positive response to a gluten free diet? I am just wondering what the majority is...because I had a blood test, that came back negative (however I was gluten free for several...
