    Thanks so much for all the great advice. I have been lactose intolerant my whole life. I discovered my soy intolerance after i was diagnosed with celiac. I am hyperglycemic so i do watch my sugars as well. I eat fruit and salad every day. never thought tomatos or peppers could be a problem. I think I will ask for the ELISA and find out what other allergies...

    Hi, I am trying to find out if Excedrin is gluten free. I called Briston Meyers, but they sold this medication to Norvadis.( not sure on spelling) They gave me a non working phone #, and I can't find a website. Does anyone use Excedrin? Thanks Pook

    Joint pain is a symptom of celiac. I have found that excercise makes me feel better. I have kept at it for a few months now and I am finally beginning to feel good. My posture was horrbile and my muscle was mush. i am now gaining muscle back and standing taller. I do a lot of walking, i like to run at least once or twice a week. i weight train and do...

    some popsicles have malt so you have to be careful. try the whole fruit brand-but read the ingredients

    Anyone wish they could have a Girl Scout Cookie? i am really missing thin mints and thanks a lots (no pun intended) I emailed GSA suggesting a gluten-free cookie and was quite disappointed with their repsonse. I am forwarding it on in case anyone else wants to write them with the suggestion that they come up with a gluten free cookie. With all kthe...

    I would be leary of fast food places. too much risk of cross contamination. maybe he is picky becuase of the ailment and once you figure out what he enjoys you can stick with that. fresh fruit and vegetables are good. as is salad. i eat a lot of jello for snacks.

    I have had the same problem for several years now. I cramp in my toes, hands, and legs. my mom always said grab on to something metal thats cold and squeeze. beleive it or not it works! I tried magnesium but it didn't help. I started doing a lot of walking and that has helped with night cramps. I also take an excercise class that invloves a lot of...

    Yes! it is a huge pain to clean it all the time.

    have him read up on it. i emailed my family several articles I found online to help them understand. the gluten free bible is an excellent book. I am in the same shape you are. not only can you not use contaminated products, you have to be sure your toaster and microwave are clean as well. hang in there-it gets better.

    I am newly celica, only a couple of months. I am lactose intolerant, always have been. I react badly to any meat except chicken. even the lean cuts. i tolerate salad, fresh vegetables and fruit. i eats lots of Rice chex and thats about it for now. (I also enjoy a baked sweet potato) for a treat I have frozen yogurt. I have discovered different breads...

    Another thing to watch in school is cross contamination. Does he sit in a lunch room and share a table? Even thought the tables are wiped down, they are really not sanitized and could still have traces of gluten. I am lactose intolerant as well, and have a sensitivity to red meat, or anything fatty-such as pork. some celiancs have negative reactions...

    Hi Sara, I am new to this as well, but have learned a lot through research. Please read some books, the gluten free bible is great! Gluten can be absorbed through the skin, its not just a question of food. i hav emailed many manufactures and received positive respones. but you always have to check because ingredients change quite frequently...

    Hi, I am older (48) but was just diagnosed. I have had belly issues since I was a little girl. I have always been lactose intolerlant, which by the way can be brought on by celiac. I am curious as to how they diagnosed you. Did they do a biopsy? Keep in mind there is gluten in so many thiings that are not food related. Envelopes, make up,...

    I had the same problem at bugagoo. I was quite upset by the time I left there and to top it off, they charged me extra for a salad that was supposed to be a side dish! they claim because I ordered one special made they had to charge extra! I have only been out to eat a couple times. I call ahead and ask specific questions before I go. Legal Seafood...

    i had a bad experience at Bugaboo Creek in MA. they could not answer any of my questions and insisted a burger without the bun woold be just fine. They couldnt tell me if they used fillers such as bread crumbs in their fmeat. they could not tell me if they used pasta water for their vegetables or potatoes, they couldnt tell me about their bbq suace,...

    Hi, I too am recently diagnosed. I have learned quite a bit from emailing manufacturers. Some go out of their way to be helpful and others can't be bothered. Some, such as Ken's salad dresings, have online lists of different products that are gluten free. I love Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate, but would be afraid of contamination. I have made 2...
