    I have never had a problem with apples and I usually eat organic ones. The response that they gave you about the wax on apples is quite frightening...how are we supposed to eat something that they don't even know what they put into it. I try to eat organic ones because they put less of foreign things on it.

    It gets way easier when you learn all the ropes to it. The diet is really not as restricted as you may think at first. In order for blood tests to be accurate then you HAVE to be on gluten for at least 3 months prior to testing eating significant amounts of gluten. So even if your tests come back negative you still may have celiac. This is a great site to...

    Biopsies can only rule celiac in but not out so if it comes back negative you may still have celiac. There is a full celiac panel that should be run and it is very accurate: EMA IgG IgA tTG Total Serum IgA

    Hang in there...you can vent anytime here but I will tell you its really easy once you know the ropes to things. We are "normal"....aren't diabetics and people with allergies normal? Just because we can't eat certain things does not make us abnormal

    I know how you feel. It's hard at first but believe me it gets so much easier as time goes by. Once you know what to look for and find the good brands it is not hard at all. This site is great to come to for information about it. You will come to realize that the diet is not as restricted as it may seem at first.

    Many people just do not understand. Try informing her and telling her you really need support. If she is your best friend you should be able to talk to her. You can always come to these sites for support to. It does get easier as time goes on so hang in there:) Email me if you need anything because I have been in your position before and unfortunately some...

    ARCHIVED Soda?

    KaitiUSA replied to odcdinah's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Pepsi and Coca Cola soft drinks are gluten free

    Yes, you need to look at everything including things like shampoos, lotions, makeups, soaps...everything. You see there is a high chance of these things entering the mouth in small amounts. It's easier then you may think and the smallest amount can cause damage. You can get lists of brands that won't hide anything, ingredients that can hide gluten, and gluten...

    O I know..I was replying to the girl who posted before me wondering about natural flavors:)
  11. KaitiUSA
    It could possibly be derived from gluten. Natural flavoring is usually ok but you have to check to be sure unless its a brand that won't hide anything. Do you have a list of brands that will not hide any gluten? Do you have the list of things that gluten can hide under?

    ARCHIVED Hi I Am New

    KaitiUSA replied to kessea's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Welcome to the board...I am sure you will find everyone very kind and helpful. Feel free to email me with any questions...nothing is too dumb to ask. It gets so much easier when you learn the ropes.

    Oats has gluten in it. In the U.S the oats are contaminated with wheat. Even if the oats are uncontaminated there is a percentage of people who react to the protein in oats called avenin.
  14. KaitiUSA
    I love Bare Escentuals and I believe it is better because it is more natural and filled with better ingredients
  15. KaitiUSA
    No oats for me...some people react to the protein, avenin in the oats even if they are uncontaminated. The U.S oats are almost always contaminated with wheat though.
  16. KaitiUSA
    I use Enzymatic Therapy
  17. KaitiUSA
    Yes, propel is gluten free
  18. KaitiUSA
    Stevia, Xylitol, Honey, Agave Nectar.....no artificial sweeteners for me.
  19. KaitiUSA
    Vincent- I'm back:) And this list looks exactly like the one I was posting. I hope all the companies start to do this.
  20. KaitiUSA
    I know that their skin care line has gluten in alot of it. Their makeup line I really like:)
  21. KaitiUSA
    Contact Scott(the Admin) and he can change it. He changed mine and he is very prompt:)
  22. KaitiUSA
    I definitely would not recommend using it. This most definitely would have gluten in it and can easily get into your mouth in some way.
  23. KaitiUSA
    haha what a wonderful welcome back I got...I must be loved
  24. KaitiUSA
    Could be that you got glutened. How long have you been gluten free? Definite symptom that is associated with celiac.
