    Hello, I have looked all over the internet to determine if pastrami is gluten-free or not and unable to find a straight answer. Does anyone know what's in it besides meat and pepper? Also, is it one of those yes or no things, or does it depend on the brand? Thanks very much, Renee

    I know how you feel about exercising and caloric intake and not losing weight. While you are training for something like a triathlon/marathon, etc. you should not try to lose weight. You may actually gain a few pounds but don't worry, it's extra muscle and will drop off as soon as you stop training. This is not just my opinion, you can ask your doctor and...

    Wow, that's interesting. In 2002 I developed orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure dropped out when I stood up) and POTS (the racing heartrate when standing). I felt like I was going to pass out and puke at the same time. The doctors never figured it out, but acupuncture helped a LOT. It took about a year to start feeling better and be able to just get...

    No offense, but I'm pretty sure that's wishful thinking only. Pretty much all states license their acupuncturists, but most insurance won't cover it. The problem with insurance companies is that they are not "required" to do much of anything, IMO...

    Maybe not everyone who has the diarrhea is underweight. I know I saw a thread recently on this board where someone was asking if there were any other overweight/obese celiacs. Lots of people responded saying they were overweight or obese. Maybe you could post another thread about diarrhea and overweight with celiac disease or you could ask on that other...

    I'm not sure about them but I can tell you that anything with "mexican grill" in the title is not authentic mexican food and therefore they will most likely use a lot more flour. My advice is to go in to the location where you plan to eat during off hours when it's not very busy and ask for the manager. Explain to him/her that you can't eat wheat/rye/barley...

    ARCHIVED Mcdonalds

    RESO replied to MasterGberry's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    McDonald's fries may be gluten free after testing, but is the fryer really dedicated? I would not trust that the employees don't ever accidentally drop in a chicken mcnugget or two or whatever else they fry that contains gluten. It's a personal choice, of course, but I wouldn't trust it unless I knew the people working there and trusted them.

    RESO replied to MasterGberry's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I checked wendy's web site about a month ago and they state that their fries are gluten free however they are NOT fried in a dedicated fryer so they recommend people with gluten allergies don't eat them. My local Wendy's has no information but there is a gluten free menu on the web site.

    Whatever tests they did, it sounds like they didn't do the gluten antibody test, so if they didn't do that specific test, sensitivity to gluten would not show up. You have the right as a patient to a copy of all of those test results, ask for them so you can at least see them and perhaps take them to another dr. My doctor did a full blood panel last...

    Usually most alternative medicine is not covered. Although my new insurance says if a regular MD refers you to acupuncture for chronic pain, they will cover it in some cases. So I guess it depends if you can get your Dr. on board. Ask first about rates before you make an appt. I have had very good results with acupuncture, so that's what I'd recommend...

    This post is probably too late, but I will say I don't know anything about Burton's. However, I highly recommend legal seafoods, great gluten-free food and service. Have fun whatever you decide. :-)

    Anything on food is cooked into it. It would be like eating toppings off a regular pizza - you would get sick. I had a someone invite me to dinner and she was using a marinade on a roast which contained wheat and she thought it would just cook away. She's a nurse, so there is a lot of misinformation out there. I don't know about other places, but I buy...

    Faith, My two cents would be to save your receipts when you buy stuff. I have never had a problem with returning something to a store as long as I haven't opened it and have the receipt. I have asked at many markets (from mom and pops to chains) when I am not sure about a product I want to purchase if it is ok if I return the product with receipt unopened...

    I find that protein works best, and animal protein works the fastest. Apologies to vegetarians/vegans, but it's the truth. I carry wheat free energy bars everywhere I go (they're actually vegan as well) that have a few grams of protein and (I'm pretty sure) gluten-free oats - I have never reacted to them and I am VERY sensitive to gluten. If I eat sugar...

    I keep seeing these abbreviations, dd, ds, dh... I guess the second letter is daughter, son, husband? But what is this first d? darling? doofus? dear? deer? dainty? deliberate? disconcerting? Thanks if someone can explain.

    Sorry, not a teen but had to weigh in. My mother always told me that hypoglycemia could turn into diabetes. But the last 3-5 doctors I have spoken with have told me that one has NOTHING to do with the other. Not that I think doctors know much about anything, but I find it curious that they would say that while everyone on this forum seems to believe the opposite...

    The apartment should have been professionally cleaned before you moved in, that's what most people have to do to get back their deposit, or the landlord does it. I guess it doesn't hurt to be extra cautious, though. If there's a toaster there, don't use it. :-) Congratulations on your new place.

    Hi Freda, The thread in red means it's a hot topic, not that you shouldn't post. As far as the gluten challenge, I will let someone else give the definitive answer since I am not an expert. But may I suggest that if you must do a gluten challenge, reschedule the test until well after you come back from Vegas so you can enjoy your vacation? Just a thought...

    Please don't forget that you have the right to refuse. It's your body, they are not the ones who will have to suffer so it is very easy for them to tell you that you "have" to make yourself ill in order to get diagnosed. You might end up with a false negative anyway, the standard I have heard about for gluten challenges is 3 months, not 3 weeks. Don't forget...

    Cynth11, I would say don't do it at all but that is your decision. I know you're trying to protect your kids, but if you get tested and are positive, ironically, docs will probably tell you that the whole family should be tested since it's hereditary I stopped eating gluten last October and didn't start feeling close to normal until mid-July, so...

    I would be too paranoid to leave the food with the kitchen. I would be afraid someone would either contaminate the food by accident or throw it in the garbage. Just sayin....

    Wow, really? Gluten free options? That's cool. I had problems with the fundraising too, but I just took a couple of hours each week to walk around downtown Santa Cruz and hit up every local business for donations. I'm not shy, obviously, lol. You do have to expect a lot of rejections but I was finished fundraising by the time the final commitment papers...

    Go Team! I did the Honolulu marathon in 2006 for LLS/TNT (before gluten issues) when I lived in California. I recently moved to the Boston area. I can't support you financially but I can lend emotional support. Gu...ick! (didn't end up using it, lol. Too hard on the stomach.). I found these great energy bars from california suncakes (californiasuncakes.com...

    That's great!!!! Please definitely let us know how it goes. Whatever is wrong, I hope they figure it out quickly.
