    ARCHIVED What Kind Of Doctor?

    KaitiUSA replied to tmc's topic in Doctors

    Any doctor can get you a blood test for celiac. If you do have it you should find one who knows about celiac. Open Original Shared Link Here is a link to this sites recommended doctors for celiac in the US. Hope this link helps

    Citric acid is fine in the US and I have never had a reaction to anything with citric acid in it. 2new2celiacs-I'm a mountain dew fanatic too and I never had a reaction either and I am pretty sensitive now MSG is fine in the US as well. http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/sn/spnk9804.html Here is a link that has a section near the bottom about MSG...

    I get them at Whole Foods where I live. Also, if you need soup I have a list I can put on here too. There was many more brands and many soups and broths. Let me know if I can help at all

    Do not worry... MSG is fine for celiacs. If you have a sensitivity to MSG then you should avoid it but it is completely fine and should cause any worries. Open Original Shared Link On this article it has a section on MSG....In the US it is made from corn.

    Yeah I don't like to try to diagnose people but I like to give them information so they know about it and the symptoms so they can be aware. People need to be aware of things so if they do have it they can catch it sooner rather than later Pamphlets are a good way to get info. across. I know when I'm waiting in the doctors office I get bored and read things...

    Here are some brands of some broths that are gluten free. Hope this helps some Health Valley Broths (cans only; asceptic containers are NOT gluten-free) Imagine Natural Organic Soups and Broths (All Varieties) Pacific Beef Broth Mushroom Broth Vegetable Broth

    Yes Richard again is correct. MSG is NOT off limits to celiacs. And I have never known citric acid to be a problem in the US.
  9. KaitiUSA
    Most celiacs are fine with MSG . As Richard said avoid it if you have a reaction to it but a lot of celiacs can have it.
  10. KaitiUSA
    Yes Richard is right. MSG is a separate issue. Maltodextrin is fine in the US.

    jymles-I use Enzymatic Therapy sublingual b vitamins. They mark their supplements of what they are free of on the bottle I use a lot of this brand.

    It could be your metabolism is fast so it requires you to then have more calories. Also could there be gluten slipping in through any shampoos or lotions, etc? Try to go through and see if any products or foods could be slipping in. Hope you find it out soon

    I totally agree with what was said by MySuicidalTurtle. It's definately good you are obeying the laws. Putting pamplets out or talking to someone with the authority to talk to them are awesome ideas. Posters around will also get peoples attention whatever catches their eye and can alert them about the possibility will be good

    I read that yeast extract contains barley so is therefore not safe. Is this true because I thought it was safe?

    KaitiUSA replied to Derik's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    If you don't eat you get hungrier and may go on binges and overeat. If you throw up that won't help any either. Just eat fruits and other healthy foods. Try to eat small amounts throughout the day instead of larger meals. Also try to walk more that might help. Good luck
  16. KaitiUSA
    Yes thanks for posting that..it is an awesome resource to have. Thanks for sharing that...and we are thinking about you today and hope everything goes well

    I was searching the Internet and found a fast food and restaurant gluten free list and this is what it said about Applebee's: Steamed Vegetable Platter Beef Patty Marinated Chicken Breast ; Request that the Italian Chicken or Fajita Chicken be used, NOT Teriyaki Smothered Chicken Breast ; Request that the Italian Chicken or Fajita Chicken be used,...

    Bailey-I agree with what the previous posters have said. You may not have damage to your intestine YET but consider yourself lucky. If you don't start the diet now, you could be damaging yourself with every bite of gluten and then end up with cancer or another life threatening and serious illness. For people who do not follow the diet it increases their chances...

    Stef-the liquid vitamins I take are drinkable. I have a b12 vitamin as well that is sublingual though and you put it under your tongue. There are also minerals you can get and put drops into your drink. One of my doctors actually recommended them too me. Talk to you soon

    I know here where I live McDonalds fries their french fries by themselves. The hash browns are also done with something separate from other foods

    I remember a while back on tv they had a girl and her mom talking about it that her daughters first communion was rejected because she was a celiac and could not have wheat. My church lets me bring my own whenever we have communion they were very find about it too.
  22. KaitiUSA
    Stef-you can get liquid vitamins at a vitamin or health food store. You do not need a prescription. They are really good because your body absorbs them better.
  23. KaitiUSA
    I have a list that says the Charm blow pops are gluten-free. I always thought it gum base was fine but it is questionable and you have to check?
  24. KaitiUSA
    I had bad PMS,and acne which cleared up with my gluten-free diet I think they are connected in some way.

    ARCHIVED No Period

    KaitiUSA replied to jknnej's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Mine didn't really screw up like that...it comes 28-35 days somewhere within that range and it never ceases to miss. But that has happened to people I know and it can be from weight loss and other things associated with celiac. If it keeps up I would ask your doctor about it though.
