ARCHIVED Tempeh?
pupok replied to pupok's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for the information! I will look for that brand of tempeh the next time I'm in the store. According to their website, my Whole Foods carries them but I don't think I saw that brand when I was there... In the meantime, I contacted Lightlife and this is the response that I received: Thanks for your interest in our company and products. Lightlife... -
I did some searching around in the forums and online, but didn't really find anything definitive. I want to buy some tempeh but I can't figure out what brands are gluten-free. I looked at the Lightlife brand at the store, some of their flavors look OK in the ingredient list but some have gluten in the ingredients. None of the packages say gluten-free on...

I was diagnosed with Celiac by blood test and biopsy a little over 7 months ago. I immediately went gluten-free and was being very careful about it. At the time of diagnosis my levels for everything on the celiac panel were very high, some off the charts. I just had a follow-up blood test, and the doctor said my levels have improved from where they were...

ARCHIVED Is It Really Best To Just Avoid Restaurants?
pupok replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks for that information, I will start a new thread. I was getting all worried so it would be good to know what others experienced. Also, I need to call my doctor back and get the results sent to me. The woman on the phone didn't tell me the exact numbers, just said that I wasn't down to normal yet. -
ARCHIVED Is It Really Best To Just Avoid Restaurants?
pupok replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hah, the same exact thing just happened to me last weekend! I thought it was funny. Each item on a different plate. I sure hope they still cleaned the grill! I was diagnosed with celiac in January (positive blood and biopsy). In the blood test my levels for the things they test for were all really high, some of them off the range for celiac. I thought... -
ARCHIVED Dry Socket Clove Paste
pupok replied to pupok's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes,he knows I have celiac and I mentioned it several times. However he might not have been thinking of that when he gave me the paste... Even I forgot to think about it! Honestly I was just so glad he had something that would relieve the pain. I hate to have to choose between the pain of a glutening and the pain of dry socket, but the dry socket was... -
ARCHIVED Dry Socket Clove Paste
pupok posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi all, I had my wisdom teeth out last Friday and had my follow-up appt. with the oral surgeon earlier today. Apparently I had a dry socket, which would explain the pain I've been in! In any case, he cleaned out the socket and put some kind of clove-tasting brown paste in it. He gave me a monoject syringe full of the paste and told me to put it in the... -

Thanks everyone for all your replies! I'm sure I'll be getting to know you all in the coming months. Right now I'm just reading old posts and absorbing information. -
ARCHIVED Introducing Myself
pupok posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I had my EGD just this morning, and while the lab results will be another week the doctor said that I looked like a "textbook case" and that he has no doubt that I'm celiac. I've dabbled with gluten free eating in the past, because I suspected that I had a problem with it but I was never super-strict about it because I...
