    I live in MD and there is a lady that has a gluten-free bakery in Hagerstown that we know. I don't know if she does wedding cakes but you could ask. I don't know if that's an area of consideration. Good luck

    Alot of restaurants are not gluten-free. Many of them may have items that are gluten-free but there is a high risk for contamination. If you are very sensitive to gluten do not risk eating out in places like that. You can get on websites and email the company and ask them. Many companies will give you a gluten-free list , tell you they do not hide it...

    Definately...listen to your body if something is right with that then go with it...maybe you need to inform your doctor about celiac instead of him falsely informing you Good luck with everything

    Yes are you sure you were gluten-free? Gluten can be hidden in makeup, shampoos, lotions, soaps, and even foods you would never think of. You could have a celiac test done but you have to be on gluten of course for it to come back positive. York Labs test for a whole bunch of food intolerances so you might want to consider that. Hope you feel better

    Mashed Potatoes Jello Soup Ice Cream I love these when I don't feel to well.

    Not everyone in the family has it but they probably do have a gene for it. It is a genetic autoimmune disorder. My mom has a severe wheat allergy and we think my grandma, uncle and 3 cousins may have it as well but they have not been tested...we hope they will. Also, not everyone with celiac disease has symptoms so people in your family could very well have...

    In Kraft and some other brands it is ok. They will not hide wheat, rye, barley, or oats under modified food starch or anything else. Only some brands do that so you can't just assume whenever you see modified food starch it is ok. Only for the brands that won't hide it it's ok. Progresso also will not hide anything. Other brands such as Campbells you can...

    As celiac3270 said, wheat is hard to digest even for people who do not have celiac. It would probably make you feel better in general by getting off of the gluten. The only thing would be if you are off of it and then go on a vacation or something and decide to get on it again it may not settle well. Your body would be so used to not having that then you...

    Maltodextrin is fine in the US foods.
  10. KaitiUSA
    Yep I agree with all of the above...canola oil is fine
  11. KaitiUSA
    Maltodextrin in the US food is gluten-free.
  12. KaitiUSA
    Welcome to the board:) Kraft foods are safe as long as they don't say wheat, rye, barley, and oats. They will not hide gluten under modified food starch etc.. in their products. Progrsso also does not hide anything. If you contact Progresso they will give you a gluten-free list. Campbells has a gluten-free list you can request as well. Amy's has...

    I've been gluten-free for a little over a year now. I feel a lot better but yes there are some tough days I have to deal with. I take vitamins, enzymes, and probiotics regularly. Those things hep to boost my immune system... celiac is an autoimmune disease and our immune systems tend to be weaker. I notice when I miss a day having these supplements I pay...

    Dextrin can be ok ...it is usually made from corn but can be made from wheat so you must check unless the food says gluten-free. Maltodextrin as stated by celiac3270 is ok when it is food in the U.S I would also stay away from blue cheese unless you contact a company and they say it is safe.

    If you are eating alot and doing what you need to do don't sweat it. I was so uptight and wanted to gain weight so bad and it just delayed me from gaining weight. Once I wasn't so fixed on gaining it it gradually started to come. Sounds to me like you are doing a good job and are on the right track just keep it up and eat alot of fatty and high calorie foods...
  16. KaitiUSA
    Yes McDonalds offers a gluten-free list hash browns are on that. Where I live they have a separate frier for the fries and the hash browns I make sure everything I eat and the products I use are gluten-free. It's not worth me getting sick. I don't go to BK anymore....the only things I usually eat out at fast food places for are the hash browns, fries, salads...

    Sally-have you had your thyroid checked?
  18. KaitiUSA
    Rye is a very big no no. Not only can we not have wheat but we can't have rye, barley, or oats. If you have a fast metabolism even if you eat alot if you aren't gaining means you should eat more or there could be something maybe holding you back. Give it some more time. It took me a while to get my weight back. I gained about 15 pounds back and I have...
  19. KaitiUSA
    Yes I have had that happen to be before to...with an onion ring in my fries...that i believe was the last time i was there at BK since I have had celiac. I agree they are very good personally nothing to me can beat the McDonalds fries...yum
  20. KaitiUSA
    yes...you should have those ingredients checked to make sure they are gluten free. You don't want to put anything into your body that could cause a reaction. Better to be safe
  21. KaitiUSA
    I will have McDonalds fries and hash browns and Wendy's frosty's but I am very careful when it comes to other things because of cross contamination. You got to be very careful. I definately would not get the burgers at a fast food place even if they are bunless. There is so much risk for cross contamination because they have a lot of bread around.
  22. KaitiUSA
    You should not be on a gluten free diet when you get tested. If you have been on a gluten-free diet I would def. be against the biopsy. If there has been damage due to celiac alot of it would have healed. Sometimes biopsies miss because of not enough damage to the intestine. If one was elevated while on the gluten-free diet chances are you do have celiac...
  23. KaitiUSA
    Thats great!
  24. KaitiUSA
    Thanks...I can have dairy and soy so it doesn't really personally effect me..I didn't know how they would make it without any of that though. I really like Earth Balance that I have now and I'll probably stick with that. Thanks for the info I didn't know they could make it out of corn oil. have a great day
  25. KaitiUSA
    Yes avoid gluten and when you eat take enzymes.Also probiotics are good to boost your immune system and help fight off things and also help with digestion. Try having tummy mint and chamomile teas by celestial seasons. Also altoids and peppermint things help with nausea. As long as you are not on a gluten-free diet if your a celiac your intestines will get...
