    They will not hide anything. Unless it says wheat, rye, barley, or oats then it is safe.

    corn gluten is ok...pretty much all grains have gluten but the forbidden ones are wheat, rye, barley, oats.

    I have taken Xanax briefly before...it is gluten free
  4. KaitiUSA
    Mi-del cookies are gluten free. Most brands like that always have a cross contamination warnings to cover their butts.

    Some people react to even pure oats. I will not eat them even if they say they are gluten free.

    I do not trust Wendy's after the frosty crap.

    Jif and skippy are my favorite.

    Breyers, Edy's, Ben & Jerry's are all my favorite. I also found Hersheys Cotton Candy ice cream that I love.

    I was down to 80 some pounds when I was diagnosed and I am up to about 113 now. When you are gluten free your body starts absorbing the nutrients again so you can put on the weight. Coconut oil and milk, peanut butter, nuts, and those kinda of things can really add up the calories. I used to make smoothies and put alot of coconut oil and sunflower seeds in...

    All the symptoms of celiac can be a sign of damage. To really know if you have the damage you have to get checked. However, a biopsy is only good for seeing how much damage is done. A biopsy can rule celiac in but can't rule it out. Weight loss and diarrhea are somewhat considered the classic signs of damage but some people with extreme damage show no symptoms...

    I think people just don't knwo alot about it and so it makes them uncomfortable because they don't want to hurt anyone. I know my family used to invite me to dinners and now I only get the invitations on certain occasions because they don't want me to get sick.

    I have tried to make it but most times it has ended up tasting bad. I like to buy certain brands that I have found to be good.
  17. KaitiUSA
    They claim they are gluten free but they are not. They did testing and all of their gluten free products showed high levels of gluten. I have reacted to everything I have tried from them.

    It may be hard to find until a moderator pins it.

    Do you have the list of safe and forbidden ingredients? That may help you. Rice Krispies by Kelloggs are not gluten free. They have malt which is made from barley. But there are gluten free versions you can get. Email me if you need any help:)

    Don't get me started on splenda....I think its worse than the real sugar and I am against the artificial stuff completely.
  21. KaitiUSA
    Yep, it is fine..it just has a bad name..but has nothing to do with wheat.
  22. KaitiUSA
    My mom and dad love the cherry pie larabars. I like the apple pie ones better.
  23. KaitiUSA
    Yes that can cause his problems. Some people see reactions right away while some don't and my reactions last a good 2 weeks and sometimes longer. He really needs to learn to stick with the diet because it can be life threatening if not followed.

    Refractory Celiac is very very rare. Say you have a biopsy done and it shows major damage so you go 100% gluten free. Refractory means after you go gluten free, the damage is still there and has shown no sign of healing. In this case, you usually have to go on steroids. As far as dying from celiac goes, if you have celiac and do not go gluten free or...

    If it is made on the same lines as wheat but cleaned in between, I usually will eat it and have only really had a problem with one brand..most have been safe when it comes to that(and I am sensitive) However, that is a personal decision to make. But if it says may contain traces of wheat I am less likely to even give it a try.
