    These mixes are safe for those that can tolerate processed food. A couple ideas: 1) You are intolerant of something besides gluten. 2) The equipment you used to prepare and bake the cookies - is it possible these were used prior to removing gluten?

    Welcome! New doctor...new opportunity. Doctors often start with a question such as this: What am I seeing you for today...these and similar questions often lead us away from talking about the whole health picture. Bring two pieces of paper into the exam with you. First a list of symptom history. Review this with the doctor....be sure...

    Yep all fine. Perhaps call your doctor's office to see if they ran the rest of the Celiac Antibody Panel: tTG - both IgA and IgG DGP - both IgA and IgG

    I'm was a bit confused by your post....I didn't see a direct question...more of an update. What can we help with?

    One crumb can be just as harmful as a loaf of bread...the point here is until you remove ALL gluten your body will continue to attack itself. If you understand that you should not eat a loaf of glutenous bread than understand that a crumb of that loaf is not acceptable either. Either remove gluten or don't....but you are risking a lot more than just...

    Welcome Robin! Nicole has provided excellent advice. I want to stress...do have the tests done before removing gluten. It can take quite a while to heal from undiagnosed Celiac Disease and it is not easy to remove ALL gluten from one's life. If you skip the tests you may be left with more questions and uncertainty which can cause more problems down...

    Cheered me almost all the way out of my grumpy mood - thanks

    Welcome! Did the doctor run any of the other Celiac Antibody Tests? The Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) - both IgA and IgG are most sensitive...they are the first to rise with gluten ingestion and the first to fall when completely gluten-free. If you are being as careful as stated above -- I would carry on and wait another three months to test...

    Welcome Steffi! Yes, many folks have symptoms of all nature return during the gluten challenge. If you are not able to tolerate gluten talk to your doctor about moving up the endoscopy date and or removing the challenge. While the best results come while ingesting gluten -- not all intestinal damage repairs in days or even weeks. Did your doctor...

    Yes, my reactions became far worse -- I think my first oops was at a couple weeks and it hit me like a truck. You may find as time gluten free goes on these reactions will become even worse. It's like the body gets used to not fighting gluten on a daily basis and then reacts vehemently when it detects even small amounts. On the deli meat...do be careful...

    I bring food everywhere. I don't have an option as I have too many intolerances on top of celiac. I simply tell the server I have many allergies so i have brought my own food...never had a problem....I do always order a beverage. We have always drank just water in restaurants so enjoying a nice coffee or glass of wine has been a treat for me. Try to...

    We use Amazon's Subscribe and Save service for flours along with teas, pasta, cereals, cooking oils, agave, supplements, baby food sqeeze packettes i use for safe travel snacks, misc baking mixes and more. Added bonus...I don't have to lug them home My almonds come from nuts.com thanks to Irish's helpful hints.....I'd gotten burned twice on nuts from...

    Here is a link to the FAQs of today's announcement: Open Original Shared Link Number 9 addresses implications for restaurants. Hope the link works....on the dreaded kindle

    I am not suggesting that you should not go to the doctor if there is real concern, but it sounds like this may be a one off after a week of not being regular and trying several remedies for constipation. I have no idea what caused this sweet smell -- but unless it happens repeatedly -- I would watch, wait and take note of bowel changes as you become completely...

    Welcome! How long have you been gluten-free? Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or Non Celiac Glulten Intolerance? Just trying to gain a better picture of how Celiac and/or NCGI may be playing into your increased allergens. This is my opinion -- based on my experience. If you are reacting -- allergy or intolerance to many items...

    I second.
  17. GottaSki
    That is excellent news -- thanks for sharing

    Any food can be difficult to digest -- especially if you do have Celiac Disease -- any food -- healthful or not.

    Removed -- answer sounded like I was looking for sympathy...I'm not. Here is a better answer. Eat whole foods, talk to your doctor and be patient.

    Welcome to the Club Kim! We also use Corn Starch mixed with water to thicken sauces....as time goes on you'll learn the easiest ways to replicate everything that used to have gluten in it. For now...do keep it simple - whole, non-processed foods are the best for a healing gut and are the least frustrating to prepare. Rice pasta is great when done...

    Hang in there....they will "get" it eventually OR they won't -- in the meantime -- take heart that you are doing the right thing for your health -- as that continues to improve it will be easier to deal with the nay-sayers -- even the ones in the family that can be the toughest to deal with. Is there a nice fluffy pillow in that old room of yours? Hit...

    My apologies...did not read the last paragraph carefully...did not copy anything after you changed to tattoos.

    I agree regarding medic alert bracelets for adults....as stated I wear mine as I have severe breathing difficulties and have had three anaphalaxis episodes which have worsened over time. I respectfully disagree for children.....my Grandson is five - gluten-free for four years and completely able to explain his dietary needs and safety to any adult -- yet...

    I am another that intermittantly lost the ability to drive at night a few years before I was finally diagnosed. I am now four years gluten-free --- not sure exactly when this symptom improved....I think it was at approximately 18 months gluten-free. Currently I drive at night with no problems unless one of my intolerances jump in my path. NotMe....so...

    Welcome! Inflammation in the body can indeed be caused by Celiac Disease. Once gluten free many autoimmune symptoms can resolve completely or greatly improve. Celiac Disease is genetic...Mom, Dad and any siblings need to be tested at 3-5 year intervals or more often should symptoms arise. Good luck with the endoscopy at the end of the month...
