    I used to be on the prescription formula and had no problems. Now that I have to take the otc formula, I have some mild, yet unpleasant symptoms. I have changed nothing else in my extremely limited diet. I checked the website which gave no indication either way, so I emailed them with the question - is this gluten-free? I never received an answer...

    Quinoa could be your problem - you have to rinse it thoroughly before you cook it- and if you're not cooking it..... There is either protein/enzyme (don't remember which) on the outside, if not rinsed off that will give you gastric issues. I learned the hard way!

    I know there are some mainstream products that are okay - but I use badger sunscreen due to all of my other allergies: Open Original Shared Link. It was okay on my tattoo as well.

    Thanks for the replies! I'm still trying to see if there is anything else to have caused the outbreak - (definitely no smooching) - could be a paranoid boss though....

    Can you get "glutened" transdermally? Recently I had a fiberglass cast put on my broken wrist - which meant that I couldn't get it wet. I used packing tape over a plastic bag to protect the cast, did this for 2 weeks. The tape did stick to my skin each time. I didn't get any symptoms until about 10-12 days later. I have a gluten free home, products...

    I use floravital liquid iron - www.florahealth.com and a sublingual b comlex by nutraceutical solutions 800-856-7040

    I can only speak for myself; but I noticed that I am way more sensitive now to my food allergens than when first tested and diagnosed for allergies - which was 20 years ago. I personally stay away from it all and I have a lot of things that I am allergic to. Way back when I first was diagnosed, my doctor suggested that I food challenge my body...

    Due to my many food allergies and celiac disease I eat a vegan/gluten-free diet. I so understand the frustration! The dietitian I went to was useless. I get my protein (and mind you I had to start with small amounts) from Quinoa, Sunflower/Pumpkin seeds, Shelled Hemp seeds (I like the Nutiva brand). I also take a sublingual B-complex to make sure...

    I have difficulty in digesting them also, so I grind them up in a food chopper and add it to salads, veggies, etc. I also use it as a main ingredient in my veggie burgers.

    being cold also relates to anemia... check iron and b12 levels?

    Thanks - sending this to one of my healthcare providers who doesn't think it's genetic according to their very outdated guideline...

    The pharmacy that I use has one clueless (and wants to remain that way) pharmacist and another who knows about celiac (his MIL has it). So if I have a new prescription I find out when he is there and walk in and talk to him about it - he always looks things up for me and will even print out the info so I can look at it. He's so cool I can...

    I don't know if this will help - but due to my many food allergies I use coconut oil (non-bleached no Hexane) or olive oil (organic).

    Ah yes, the work environment! Even with my food allergies for 5 years my boss would take me (I am the only one in the front office/showroom) and perhaps someone (from the work area) out to eat for a working lunch several times a week. Once diagnosed with celiac - I would bring my own food- but whether my boss was embarrassed or whatever...

    How bizarre! I never liked ice in anything I drank until recently, even started chewing on the leftover ice.... - and just recently diagnosed with anemia. Gotta tell a friend of mine who will order a glass of ice - no water.....!
  17. aaascr
    Unless I'm feeling really bad - I press on too! I take something to calm the digestive issues, an energy drink so I'm not so brain fogged, and plenty of water to keep hydrated. I hate missing a game or a workout!

    I was just taking a head count... not quite 40 of you in here...False advertising if you ask me. Okay add one more to your list Richard... (I know you're still here). I'm 48, but don't act it - can't wear nail polish, do my own hair (to cover up the white-morticia streaks) and play soccer a lot therefore don't watch a lot of movies...

    I experienced (and sometimes still do) this especially just after starting the gluten free diet. It is very important to keep a balanced diet as well as having correct vitamin/mineral intake. This, keeping in mind that our bodies may not assimilate all foods etc. due to level of damage. -For instance, I'm allergic to many proteins and had to find...

    ARCHIVED Bugaboo Creek

    aaascr replied to ebrbetty's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Funny enough... I went to their website and the only menu that did not come up properly was the gluten free one! I went there a year ago (in Duluth GA) and the staff at the time had no clue so I didn't eat there -sorry I couldn't be more help, but I think I would definitely have a talk with the manager prior to eating there.

    ARCHIVED Omega 3

    aaascr replied to SandraB's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Since I can't eat fish (allergy) I use Hemp Seed and Flaxseed - for the omega 3's - but also for protein.

    The food industry has the general population right where they want it: Eating processed foods so that cooking is minimal; and ignorant of the ingredients, just as long as it tastes good... Unless of course there is a medically dietary issue at hand.. but even with that they summarize the carbs, sodium, etc - so who really looks (except people like...

    I don't know what brand I bought just recently - but I thought they didn't have the little aloe strips on them - well after breaking out with red itchy patches - I looked and lo and behold they DID have the tiny strips on them. I am allergic to all kinds of things - so lesson learned examine a lot closer!

    Some real interesting replies on both sides of the fence. I personally cannot eat out as I was already limited by my food allergies and then dx'd with celiac puts me in my current position. I bring my food with me whenever I go out with my friends and simply tell the waitstaff that I do not want to ruin their day or the chef's for that matter....

    ARCHIVED Dietician

    aaascr replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I would definitely call ahead. I requested a dietitian who specialized in celiac, and the one I went to saw- maybe 1 celiac patient a year - and this was her specialty? She didn't even know about this website and in the end (for my 100.00) I knew more about it than she did. I could have had the same conversation with my friends and...
