  2. thanks, i looked it up and multiple sources say wheat, i will be checking it from now on
  3. I was always told that xanthan gum is derived from corn, now i recently read that the original source can be wheat? this confused me a bit.Or is the xanthan gum from wheat not used in foods?? ps. I'm very sensitive so this would be something i would need to look out for

    ARCHIVED Candy

    When it says gluten free it usually isn't enough for me. I react to a ton of gluten-free stuff but that only means it needs to contain less than 20 ppm which is not low enough for me, i react to much less

    ARCHIVED Water Filter

    I have a water filter now but i suspected that it was giving me issues so i stopped using it and i got better, i contacted the company and after a bunch of stupid answers they stopped answering me altogether, talk about customer service. I wanted to buy the panasonic water purifier because it's small and the rest of my family uses the RO one we have, so...
  8. thanks for the responses so far Does anybody know anything by lancome, l'oreal or that sort of stuff?
  9. A friend of mine is super sensitive and lives in Egypt, they don't have the gluten free allergy friendly brands there. Are there any gluten free lip sticks or glosses by popular brands? they also have a body shop there
  10. some people react ok to wheat starch and is considered gluten free because it obviously contains less gluten, would the same apply to corn? has anybody had experience with reacting to corn but not the starch?

    ARCHIVED Cocoa Powder

    I know that this one is ok for many super sensitives. It's called Droste http://www.(Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned)/Droste-DC9727-Cocoa-8-8o-oz/dp/B0007V11TQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333544427&sr=8-1
  12. Yes i need US brands, without traces of milk
  13. A friend of mine had to stop milk products as well, he doesn't live in the US but has an uncle who is coming to visit him, could anybody tell me the names of some of the brands of gluten free and milk free chocolate and preferably ones that are easy to get for people not all that familiar with the diet thanks in advance
  14. No, unfortunately I don't know any store like that. I heard that they bake gluten-free stuff in Sharm el sheikh where i don't go. They have something called papadums in a box like pringles which say that they're gluten free, they're like chips, you can buy those at the supermarket. I only know lasagna sheets. I heard that gluten-free bread is available...
  15. Both my iron and B12 levels are low. I started taking injections for B12 which I used to take but stopped. I also started taking an iron supplement again which i stopped because I was afraid it might have gluten in it, I can't find out if it's in medication in Egypt. The others are way too expensive. If I get my iron up how soon should I start feeling better...
  16. When I first went off gluten, my stomach stopped bloating after about 5 days, but I felt much less tired after about 2. Now I'm tired again and I've been off gluten for about a month now. Is this normal? I've tried to see if there's any way gluten might still be sneaking into my diet. I read that it can be in teabags but I still used those when I first...
  17. The closest one I know of for you is on gm3at eldowal al3arabia street, it's called health harvest and Here's the telephone number of the one in Nasr City and you can ask them for the address or if there is one closer to you 012-6007879 Good luck
  18. Hi There is one store that I know of called health harvest so if you tell me where in Egyt you live I can tell you the one closest that I know of.
  19. Hi I'm 20 yrs old and found out recently about my gluten issues. I'd like to get to know more people with celiac anywhere but specifically in Egypt I'd also like to know if there is a store with gluten free products Thanks
  20. Thanks for all the info. I got my answer. A few days ago I ate a couple of mentos because I didn't know they had gluten in them and I paid the price
  21. Wat about the difference in symptoms between celiac and gluten intolerance?
  22. Thanks for the info. I have one more question. What if you have gluten intolerance, does it make a difference? do you still experience exactly the same symptoms?
  23. I didn't exactly know where to put the question I recently went on a gluten free diet and my symptoms have been less. I've avoided pretty much everything with gluten in it. Someone told me that maybe a little bit wouldn't hurt like the soy sauce. If I don't get any stomach issues from it does that mean that it won't cause any of the other symptoms...
  24. I've been having some symptoms for about a year now right after I had a cyst. It first i thought it was yoghurt which i eliminated from my diet and it got better but then gradually more and more foods started giving me problems like oranges, cabbage and then I even thought it was apples but now it still happens almost everyday without eating any of the ...
  25. Hi I've been trying to find the difference but none of the info websites clearly show the difference between the two so can anyone explain the difference between them and the symptoms for each one? Thanks in advance
