    I've been having a difficult time finding low-fat crackers that satisfy me. Last week, I found a product called Corn Thins (popped corn cakes), made by Real Foods - realfoods.com. I found them at a local grocery store that has an extensive gluten-free section. They are also available online. They are similar to a rice cake or corn cake, except they...

    I appreciate all the suggestions! Has anyone here ever used anything by Enzymedica -- Digest Gold?

    How much are you willing to spend? One of the best investments I EVER made (and this was long before I was gluten-free) is a Vita-Mix blender - vitamix.com I juice whole fruits in the morning for a high fiber smoothie. I also makes high fiber soups with a little gluten-free broth and whatever fresh veggies I have lying around (you can use canned...

    You are welcome, Darissa! Thank YOU for the thanks.

    Yes! I mimed Celiac symptoms like crazy, even sores in my mouth. For more, take a look at my signature line . . . and please know: the info there doesn't even begin to list all of it. Well . . . yes, the tests can be preformed by a family doc., but be careful -- tests can be misread, and frankly, some labs are better at running the tests than others...

    Sadly, the new Blue Diamond brand Nut Thins crackers don't work for me, which is a shame because they are delicious. I am highly sensitive, and on the label it states that, while the crackers are routinely tested for low gluten levels (I applaud them for this), Nut Thins are manufactured in a plant that also processes wheat. The first time I...

    What do you like about the Solaray one? We had four different brands in the house at the time of my diagnosis. Nothing on the label about being gluten-free, so I called each company. It surprised me when THREE of them said that the pro-biotics were not gluten free! Only one of them passed: Inflam-Away from Premier Labs. Problem is that Inflam...

    I agree! Good for you! I wish my family were as supportive (they're good, but they're not willing to go gluten free just yet). I hope you'll keep posting and keep us updated as to your experiences in making your kitchen gluten-free. Bravo!

    Aside from 24-hour Specific Carbohydrate Diet Yogurt, has anyone found a good, gluten-free pro-biotic supplement? I could use some help in finding one. Thank you for your help!

    Malt Diastase: Yes, be very careful here. Malt Diastase, as far as I know, is a no-no for those who cannot eat gluten, due to the barley. I am not aware of any way to separate the barley from the malt in supplements, but if I'm wrong, I would love to know. In the meantime, I'd stay clear of this product.

    I don't know if this will help, but as an adult -- probably at the onset of gluten-intolerance -- I had horrible food cramping, which only got worse over time. Tests: Make sure Doctor looks for gliadin as well as celiac. A high gliadin level shows gluten-intolerance, which can be positive even if the "celiac test" comes back negative.

    Thank you! I didn't see this thread and have subscribed to it as well -- nice that it has the entire article at the beginning. Much appreciated.

    What was your vitamin D level? Was it over 50? Make very sure that the doctor who tests you for vitamin D really knows what he/she is doing. I had similar symptoms, figured I was okay and ignored it. It wasn't until my joints started swelling that I finally went to a good Rhumatologist. I thought perhaps the chronic fatigue, body aches and weakness...

    Some actually carry the McCormick label, at least at the COSTCO by me. Do you know if the Kirkland brand is also made by McCormick? That would be wonderful!
  16. Lynayah
    Good answers, above! A quick question: Are you planning on making your kitchen completely gluten-free? That is, you will not be preparing any gluten items whatsoever? I ask because I spoke with someone recently who purchased a new toaster thinking that it would be easier to "clean" after her family makes wheat toast. You probably know this already...
  17. Lynayah
    I wonder as well. Since gluten sensitivity is getting more and more press these days, perhaps we are nearing a tipping point for progress. Hope so.

    For those who are non-celiac gluten sensitive, here is an interesting article. Much of the info may be known to some here already, but it is worth a look: Article: Gluten Sensitivity v. Celiac Disease- What do we know? Open Original Shared Link PS: The font on this page is too small for my comfort. If the same is true for you: If you open in...

    I just wanted to add that, one thing that's worked for me when dining at someone else's house, I ask them to please, please not make anything for me and to please allow me to bring my own food. I will usually bring enough for everyone else, too. I don't expect anyone to change a recipe or, well, ANYTHING just because I have to eat gluten-free. The...

    We all feel your pain! Many of us have gone through similar experiences and have had to learn -- sometimes over and over again, what works and what does not. As someone said earlier, it really is all about educating those around you. If they don't get it -- REALLY get it, they won't know what to do or how to act. Part of the educating process is sticking...

    Minced onion and garlic powder: I wasn't able to get an answer on anything in the spice section. I've purchased minced onion from other sources and have had reactions, even though the packaging didn't list any allergy warnings. I've been sticking to McCormack for both, just to be on the safe side. How I hope labeling laws continue to get more informative...

    When I spoke with our local COSTCO, they explained that it is impossible to have a list since manufacturers and ingredients change so frequently. That makes sense to me. I was particularly interested to see if the Kirkland brand of spices is gluten free, but they were unable to help me, alas. However, there are a number of products in the store that...

    I wonder if the research was inconveniently lost . . . or conveniently lost. What a shame that the research disappeared, both for you as well as the celiac community.
  24. Lynayah
    Bea, I feel your pain. Have you tried going without dairy altogether? Also, might you be available to talk privately?
  25. Lynayah
    Bravo! Thank you for your post! The gluten challenge is what really did me in. It was 8 weeks of serious discomfort and hunger, hunger, hunger, bloat, bloat, bloat. I thought that once I went gluten-free my old metabolism would return and the weight would start to come off again. NOT. My gliadin remains high, and the whole return-to-"normal...
