Yvonne Ayers Albers, How did you find out HCTZ contains gluten? My search shows the Brand Name as gluten-free, while some of the Generic HCTZ may contain Gluten.

Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

I can't eat DeGiorno's "gluten-free" pizza, because of being dairy intolerant, but I can have cheddar and mozzarella cheese. I did the EVERLYWELL test to help eliminate foods that I can and can't have. I but the CAULIPOWER crust at and use plain tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Quite often I top it with shrimp. Good Luck

Welcome FayeBr, I suffered 56 years before being diagnosed in 2009. Corn is an issue for many of us here and hopefully after a period of healing you may be able to add it back into your diet. It took me over a year to finally accept that corn was bothering my gut. Early last year I was able to start adding foods with very small amounts of corn back into...

Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?
captaincrab55 replied to Connie Smitj's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Welcome Connie Smitj, Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful? It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner. When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori. -

Welcome Santina, Are you taking Generic or Name Brand Lisinopril? My quick search shows the name brand as gluten free. https://www.google.com/search?q=does+lisinopril+contain+gluten. Each tablet contains 5, 10 or 20 mg of lisinopril, present as lisinopril dihydrate, as the active ingredient. Mannitol • maize starch • magnesium stearate • iron oxide red. ... -

Stomach pains etc 2 weeks after start of gluten-free diet

JuggaloDad, A gluten-free diet is a cut and dry fix for some, but it's more complicated for many of us including me. I suffered from an infant to age 56, It took almost 10 years for me to zero in on non-gluten foods that caused me GI issues/pain. Zeroing in on the non-gluten items wasn't as easy as it was for hidden gluten for me. Dairy, coffee and onions...

Hi Dawn, Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine. I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria. I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction. Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria...

Family education

Welcome sillyyak52, I'm not sure of your age or if you live with your parents. Is there a nurse in your family or friend of the family that may be able to explain your diagnoses? You can get a second opinion by taking your lab results to another GI Doctor. Good Luck!

I know this isn't an IBS Forum, but it looks like they may have cracked the code on treating it. They think the new discovery may make it possible to treat other autoimmune diseases. Even if they develop a treatment I think I would continue eating strict gluten-free, but it may allow me to eat out gluten-free without the fear of being glutened. That would...

captaincrab55 replied to SoBannaz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Bonnaz, IMO it sounds like you have many foolish family members and friends! There may well be a chance that your mom may have celiac disease. Keep reminding yourself that Celiac Disease isn't an Allergy that may go away with further exposure! You may need to consider finding new friends that also have celiac disease. There are groups that get together... -

Hi I’m Sammie

Hi Sammy, Welcome aboard. I hate to tell you this, but Celiac is genetic. Somewhere back in the family line someone had it. It was common for it to go undiagnosed years back. My Mom was never diagnosed with it, but suffered with many of the same symptoms I had when I was finally diagnosed at age 56. Silent Celiac may be in your family. I'm sure others...

iceicebritney, I read where you were referred to John's Hopkins. If you live in that area/suburb and still have the rash, I can give you my Dermatologist's name(https://www.brderm.com/dr-robinson.html I se Dr Robinson, who diagnosed me with dermatitis herpetiformis/celiac disease 2 weeks after my first visit)

captaincrab55 replied to Kazbo's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had to show that I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis in order to get my health insurance to cover gluten-free brand name drugs instead of generic drugs that weren't gluten-free! drugs that weren't gluten-free -
glucel. There's a lot of cost, including liability issues when a manufacture labels a product gluten free to be sold in the USA.
