    I personally think I like the Cheese Glutino pizza better than Amy's.

    O man do I know how you feel. I am between 5'3 and 5'4 and when I was healthy I was 114 and then when I got sick I went down to like 83 pounds and people kept making comments and doctors even asked me if I was anorexic and I absolutely hated it. I had tons of anxiety due to what I have been through and so I would not eat alot or in front of people because...

    WOW! That is some of the worst advice from a fellow celiac that I have ever heard. This person obviously is either new to celiac and just believed the first thing he/she read or is in denial. You should never eat any amount of gluten as even the smallest amount will give you damage whether or not you have symptoms. I do have glutenease and if I somehow...

    I know for me when I started to be gluten free I was up and down alot even when I was not getting any gluten in. When I did accidentally get something it got worse and I felt like I had been hit like a bus and soooo much nausea. I know for me there was nothing I could do to get it over with quicker. It would take me sometimes 2-3 weeks but for some it is...

    Well, I moved to Arkansas at the beginning of the year to get married and so I had to find a new GI doctor. We went and saw him 2 days ago and I have been having some of my symptoms again(think partly due to my anxiety disorder and getting off of those meds that helped with it) So he was puzzled that my former GI doc was able to give me a 99% diagnosis since...

    I am sensitive to gluten and have honestly never had a problem with that brand

    If you are looking for a gluten free crust then I would seriously try crushing Josefs vanilla graham crackers and putting butter in with it to have it stick together. I tried this and everyone loved it.

    Don't even start me on this topic It's ridiculous! I mean overnight it can change like 15 cents. But seriously, people are going to lose jobs because they will have to pay the "more important" people at the business more so they can pay the gas prices.

    My cousin just got married last weekend and we have my husbands best friends wedding this weekend. When we went I brought my own food but i did have some fruit that was not already cut. It worked out fine. I have learned that even if they are offended it is ok because they probably don't fully understand the extent of it...in the end it comes down to you...

    Well if you keep them gluten free and then get bloodwork done then the it is likely that the bloodwork will show up negative. That is the way they keep track of how celiacs are doing with their diet. Like when I had blood tests done that showed positive they checked me after being gluten free for 6 months and it came back negative and thats the way they monitor...

    Celiac can be very tricky to detect in some cases because you here of alot of false negatives with some of the tests (depending which ones they run) Some are just better than others. Do you know which tests you had done? Either way if they came back inconclusive I would most definitely ditch that gluten. It really is not something to mess with. There is alot...

    Coffee can react bad to the stomach especially in mornings on an empty stomach it can be bad. It could be something in it that is causing it. Is it just when you have coffee in the morning or anytime?
  13. KaitiUSA
    Some celiacs can handle them and some can't. It really is a risk and toss up. Some celiacs react to the protein in Oats called Avenin and that is even with pure oats. The problem is what about those celiacs who don't get symptoms when eating gluten? If they are the ones reacting to the oats how would they know they are not doing damage? I personally avoid...

    I love Burt's Bees lipstick and it is gluten free. Another thing I really like is Bare Escentuals and alot of theirs is also gluten free

    A Wheat allergy is different from Celiac. You see an allergy is IgE mediated where Celiac is not. I was told I have both but I just had a recent blood test done and I showed not allergic to it but I still have celiac.
  16. KaitiUSA
    Yep, they are gluten free and they are sooo good. Not as good as the ones you get actually at Starbucks though

    Hey, Thanks everyone! I moved from Maryland to Arkansas. What a move! It is a different world down here and I have never seen so many bugs in my life! Well we got married the day after Valentines Day in Florida. We were in Orlando for our honeymoon. The wedding was gluten free He has been so supportive with everything too. So how has everyone on here...

    I know it has been forever since I have posted but there has been a good reason why. I moved out of state and then got married. Yep, you read that right! I just got married like 2 weeks ago. I have been working 9 hour work days and before we moved in we had to remodel a house so now everything is starting to calm down a bit but I wanted to tell you the exciting...

    I'm not a mom yet but I understand where you are coming from and I know my mom feels the same way even now when everyone is used to dealing with my diet. Good luck and I'm sure it will all be great. Your daughter sounds very responsible for dealing with this for her age. There is so much good stuff we can eat so it makes it a little bit easier.
  20. KaitiUSA
    Some celiacs even react to the protein in pure uncontaminated oats so I stay away from it but if you have to have it go with an uncontaminated and pure oats from a specialty place.

    I love their salad and don't have a problem with it...they are really good about accomodating me. Haven't had anything else yet.
  22. KaitiUSA
    so sorry to hear that. Hang in there I know it is a difficult time for you and your family.
  23. KaitiUSA
    I like Celestial Seasonings brand and as far as I know all of there teas are supposed to be labeled gluten free if they are. enjoy

    I use Jif all the time and have had no problem with it. My mom wants me to use some natural peanut butter without hydrogenated oil but um I haven't brought my tastebuds up to that level yet lol...anyhow, there are a number of peanut butters that are fine...if you feel bad after it try another brand known to be gluten free and if you still feel bad you may...

    I stay away from any oats myself even if they are pure and uncontaminated. Some celiacs still react to the protein in oats and I would be one of those people I am sure. Organic doesn't mean anything as far as gluten is concerned though. If you have to have them you need to look for brands that are grown, transported, and in a facility of their own because...
