ARCHIVED Increased Symptoms After Gf Diet
KaitiUSA replied to Bette's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
When you are new to the diet it's more likely to get gluten into you accidentally because it takes some time to learn how much gluten can be hidden in. He may be getting gluten in him through things he thinks are gluten free. He may be getting cross contamination problems as well. There are alot of ways gluten could be getting into him. Another thing to... -
ARCHIVED Fritolay Gf Products
KaitiUSA replied to VydorScope's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
They say "This product is naturally free of gluten" on the side of the STAXX Chips container. The STAXX are supposedly made on dedicated lines as well as a few other chips they make so they are definitely safe. Frito Lay also makes other gluten free products that are not made on dedicated lines. -
ARCHIVED Self-diagnosis
KaitiUSA replied to Saw's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Turtle- I am 17 and they had me get a bone density test to make sure the celiac didn't cause any other problems.Thankfully, the bone density test I had showed my growth is normal. I think it definitely is a good idea even if it is just to rule that out because one of the things that can come from untreated celiac is osteoporosis so it would be better to... -
ARCHIVED Apple Juice
KaitiUSA replied to jknnej's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yep I drink Welches juice all the time too and was told they are gluten free...and never had a problem -
ARCHIVED B-b-q Sauce
KaitiUSA replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Kraft is one of the brands that does not hide anything on labels. If it contains wheat,rye,barley, oats in any way shape or form then it will say wheat,rye,barley,oats. Vinegar is not always a no no for celiacs...it just depends on the kind of vinegar -
ARCHIVED Dermilogica
KaitiUSA replied to jknnej's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yep I use alot of products by Dove...this brand has worked great for me -
ARCHIVED Increased Symptoms After Gf Diet
KaitiUSA replied to Bette's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It's a little too early to tell. I was gluten free for 3 months before I had a big change and then a few more months to get back to normal. Your body is probably adjusting to the diet right now so give it some time. Feel better soon -
ARCHIVED Dermilogica
KaitiUSA replied to jknnej's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I agree with celiac3270. I would not use it since it is on the face and you know how that stuff can slip into the mouth pretty easily. It would be too risky for me. -

Yes it is possible. In fact weight gain is a symptom of celiac. Not just weight loss. Everyone has different symptoms with celiac...there are over 200 symptoms involved with celiac too.

ARCHIVED My Son's Blood Test Is In, Is It A Done Deal?
KaitiUSA replied to VydorScope's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Tests may come back not accurate because of your childs age. When they are below 24 months old you can get false negative testings. -
ARCHIVED Kroger Products
KaitiUSA replied to VydorScope's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, that is correct. -
ARCHIVED Amy's

I have never had a problem with Amy's. I also really like that brand. Feel better soon -
ARCHIVED Cd For Life?
KaitiUSA replied to jams's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
As Stef said..I did a visual for my friends that seemed to work quite well. So if you talk until you are blue in the face and they don't get it then try a visual. Let them know this is an autoimmune disorder and you were genetically predisposed to this. Let them know there is no cure and gluten will tear up your intestines and if you choose to ignore it... -
ARCHIVED Does Any Of This Contain Gluten?
KaitiUSA replied to trying4faith's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Since the label says corn vinegar I wouldn't be concerned about that but caramel color may or may not contain gluten. What brand is it? It would be ok if it is a brand that will not hide anything(like Kraft) Someone on here might know about it though if you post the brand -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Dog Food?
KaitiUSA replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I forgot to answer this post.. We named her Bear. She is a 4 month old Jack Russell. Very content and kind of like a spoiled lap dog We got her from some friends. My mom and I went to their house for some paperwork for her work. We got there and they asked if I wanted the dog. They have 3 others and wanted to get rid of this one. So we got her -
ARCHIVED Identical Protein Sequence In Candida & Wheat
KaitiUSA replied to Emme999's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Interesting article...thanks for sharing. I had intestinal candida for a while until we finally got me on something to clear it up. I wonder if that also contributed to me getting celiac disease. -
ARCHIVED Wahoo! :) :) :)
KaitiUSA replied to Emme999's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
That's great to have a clear cut answer Now nobody can tell you "it's all in your head" -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Dog Food?
KaitiUSA replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yeah I try not to think about that lol You know I've always wanted to know if they have some sort of dog mouthwash...like everytime after they eat, go to the bathroom, go outside and everything if they could lick some germ killing mouthwash that would help get rid of all that gross stuff...I don't even know if there is such a product but their should... -
ARCHIVED Too Good To Be True?
KaitiUSA replied to connole1056's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Wow...well at least you tried. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Some people either don't understand or don't want to understand. But the info you put on there will hopefully help somebody else who discovers that site -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Dog Food?
KaitiUSA replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
HAHA yeah...I may just put a link to it on here or put it on the avatar for a day or so. You are correct...I am not worried about touching the food because I can easily wash my hands...it's the licking because this dog is a licker and no matter how hard you try to stop her she will get you somehow and I want to eliminate the chances of being glutened... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Dog Food?
KaitiUSA replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't plan on eating dog food...I am worried about her eating gluten containing food and then licking me(which I try not to let her do that). I don't want to have another concern in there so even if I have to pay extra it's worth it for me. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Dog Food?
KaitiUSA replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes! Thanks so much:) We are going to a pet store tomorrow or the day after so I'm sure they will sell some of those brands. That info definitely helps out. We got a 4 month old Jack Russell...she is so cute and very content. You tell her to go "home" and she'll go to this doggie bed we have. And she will not climb stairs if we all leave her in the main...
