    So I started a thread in the recipe section and had commented on how cool whip last time I used it with my strawberries it gave me yukky heartburn (which my GERD has improved a LOT since being gluten-free for 3 months). Someone mentioned that perhaps I am allergic to caesin which is in cool whip even though it is dairy free. Then someone mentioned that the...

    Thank you very much I am for sure going to be buying at least the grocery guide I didn't even know it existed. Thanks for the note on juices I needed a fast answer for our big 4th of July cookout we are having Sunday!

    Is Dole Pineapple Juice gluten-free? What fruit juices are gluten-free? V8 gluten-free? I appreciate any information thanks

    I agree with Riceguy here and of course when in doubt take it out!!!!! Good luck and I hope you feel better fast!

    Wow what a great question and one that brought a realization for me! About 2 years ago my ankles and feet started swelling really bad and no one could tell me why. The doctors prescribed me water pills and they didn't make much of a difference so I just suffered through it. Just about 3 months ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease and you know what I have...

    Just take it slowly and take your favorite items to eat and find a way to make them allergy free for you. In the beginning I was overwhelmed and did not know how I was going to do it! After a few weeks I took a step back and began checking for my fave recipes gluten-free online I was surprised to find that many people have found ways to take the food allergies...

    Well I can't eat most of KINNIKINNICK brand stuff because of the egg content or the risk of egg cc as I am allergic to egg as well as gluten. I looked at the difference in ingredients and noticed there is A LOT MORE STUFF in the KINNIKINNICK brand in comparison to Bob's and Pamela's bread mix! I am not sure which ingredient but if you look... the risks are...

    I am not sure about the "cleaners" but be sure to watch hand sanitizers they have alcohol in them and that is bad. I know Purell is gluten-free and as far as hand soap goes soft soap and Dial are gluten-free but of course you always want to check the ingredients and with the manufacturers as the recipes and solutions can change without notice. You for sure...

    No one likes to nag or to be nagged about anything but this is your health and all of us here know what you will go through if you get cc'd and it is horrible. Although it is impossible for your family to remember the hand washing all the time and for them to think about cc everytime they go into the fridge for some food or the cupboards we can ask them to...

    It has been 3 months for me after spending at least 3 years killing myself and I still find myself needing an afternoon nap a few times a week. It is getting better but of course when I have an accident with gluten it sets me back for about a week. I have been doing good though only 2 glutens in 3 months so I am getting there lol. Good luck to you and...
  11. Ariauna
    That is great news but do not forget to ask them how they are stored to be sure you don't have to worry about cc!

    I agree that it's probably a mental memory thing too which literally has to suck! I know when I see food that is not gluten-free my first thought is "ewww no way am I gonna touch that stuff" I hate that pain and sickness so bad that the inexperienced people I deal with will put fresh fruits right next to gluten filled items and I refuse to eat them in fear...

    This is very interesting Ang again you are very informed and a great asset of information. I too have trouble swallowing sometimes and with some foods if they aren't super moist I have problems swallowing them. I have no problem with cereal and saucy stuff but if my chicken isn't really moist I will have problems and then at other times I will just be sitting...
  14. Ariauna
    Thanks Ang I appreciate the information I was not aware that mixed spices are bad I was careless and read that all McCormick spices were safe and another place that all spices are generally safe. Interesting that it is usually barley malt I react VERY badly to that and it hits me fast as this attack did. Today feels like a turning point for my system but...
  15. Ariauna
    Agreed 100% I too felt very overwhelmed and still do I am only 3 months into my gluten-free way of life but going through the attacks is not worth even one bite of gluten!! I have slowly started finding other gluten-free foods as well as learning to make my old recipes gluten-free. Do your best to relax and when you feel overwhelmed find a quiet place and...

    I've been gluten-free for about 3 months now and have been cc'd and just made a bad decision and not read a label. Within 30 minutes to 2 hours after I eat gluten my upper stomach starts twisting against my ribs the pain is just horrible and makes me feel like puking (although I don't I thenbecause I immediately pop a Bentyl), then my bowels start rumbling...

    I have only been gluten-free for 3 months so yes still a newb Thanks for the info... I should be pretty safe if I use moderation as in maybe just a tablespoon or two of it. I do notice that if I eat "too much" dairy in one day or over several days that I will get upset a little bit. Also some dairy items will bother me while others will not. I can...

    I eat Schwans Unbreaded Chicken Breast Filets they are individually sealed and the ingredients read as follows: INGREDIENTS: BONELESS, SKINLESS BREASTS OF CHICKEN WITH RIB MEAT CONTAINING UP TO 12% OF A SOLUTION OF WATER, SALT AND SODIUM PHOSPHATE. I eat them all the time and never have an issue with them. I did use MRS. DASH ONION AND HERB? Mrs...

    I have this recipe that my mom has been making us for the 4th of July ever since I was a baby and I am wondering if the items are gluten free? Kraft` Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows (colored or white) Mandarin Oranges (Dole) Pineapple Crushed (Dole) Pistachio Pudding `dry mix` (Brand suggestions??) Cool Whip (I've heard this is safe but last...

    You may have noticed I posted on Saturday night as I was dealing with a contamination and couldn't figure out what it was I ate. After about 36 hours of cc I am able to start back on my normal diet with a little help from meds too. I am wondering though why is it that pre baked gluten-free items won't agree with me? This may answer my question as to what...

    Bread products, BBQ sauces I have not found one that I haven't reacted to yet! Avoid most alcohols- check labels and call the manufacturer! Most cereals you can NOT eat there are a few though like the Chex brands, Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles have been proven to be safe. All Pasta is a big NO unless you get Rice or Corn based. I have been eating...

    You know back when I was about 6 I was diagnosed as having a milk allergy and was told I would outgrow it. Around age 20 I introduced milk back into my diet without any issue over the years. Dairy and high fat foods will set off my GERD so I do try to watch how much I consume.... I really hadn't thought about the cheese flavored snacks irritating me but that...

    Thank you for the input I know for sure that I had to have glutened myself I ended up on the sofa all night and not able to sleep until 4am that was with all the meds. I woke this morning at 10am took my prilosec like normal but had to take another Bentyl because my system is still twisting and rumbling. No fever though so I know this is gluten and possibly...

    I was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 months ago. I immediately started a gluten-free diet and within the first few days I noticed drastic improvement in my Acid Reflux, Bloating, IBS and fatigue. I was at a bbq and there were Lays BBQ chips there and I had read that Lays chips are safe... dumb me I did not read the label until I had eaten two handfuls of...
