    I eat them often! Clam chowder, cream of mushroom, veggie, lentil. They clearly mark their products like their Rice Chex cereal. I have never had a problem!

    From my experience you become MORE INTOLERANT the longer you are away from gluten. When I am contaminated I get diarrhea and bloating, when I am glutened I am TERRIBLE like food poisoning. I was able to eat gluten for 25 years now I can even stand a few crumbs... My doctor told me it was because I am now healed or healthier so the exposer is more dramatic...

    I had mucus in my stools pre-diagnosis. I now get it occasionally when I am glutened, even a little bit. I never get mucus in my stool when I mess up my egg allergy or my other food allergies. I personally contribute it to getting into gluten somewhere. Reading a study in the last year said that even the BEST gluten free diets, it is impossible to 10...

    Good Luck with the enterolab, I hope you find some answers! Remember in order to perform these tests you do have to damage your system, damage you have to heal from, be careful and stop if conditions worsen, no testing is worth serious complications. I do have the skin form celiacs mine manifests itself with tongue spots (patches of very painful spots...

    I have been through very similar to u, told it was stress, vitamin D deficiencies, bad spells increasing with age, exercise runs, oh the cramping...took out gallbladder only to get worse, negative on celiac panels, acid reflux, high fiber supplements...joke. All I have to say is you know your body better than anyone, I can't eat early morning even being...

    So happy to hear that! You will not regret it! Your quick service meals will be do able but your sit down will be excellent!! Google the different restaurants in the parks with allergy options and you can find reviews on the best ones!! Have a great vacation!
  7. Heidi S.
    Well that is a shame the restaurants have the best meals for allergies with very knowledgeable chefs, you should really think about increasing it, it is well worth the cost with drinks included! I mean realistic, do you really see "quick service" fast food as being accommodating? When fast food becomes accommodating it wouldn't be "fast" food...

    They do contain eggs. I can not eat them due to my egg allergy, are you sensitive to eggs?
  9. Heidi S.
    I eat Santitas white or yellow corn, they are both gluten free in my 2010 Gluten free grocery shopping guide! I see no need to change a good and cheap thing! You can not beat $2 a bag!

    A gluten free diet works for many allergies indirectly. Removing allergens from children with ADD or Autism allows their bodies to function without added irritants. Maybe the gluten free diet is eliminating allergens from her already sensitive immune system. Also gluten free diets force people to avoid alot of pre-packaged processed food, having them eat...

    I don't know about the others but ALOT of hairspray contains wheat!!

    My sister and her daughter live in Sneads Ferry, right near Jacksonville both are gluten-free. Her daughter is going into first grade! Let me know if you want to meet, she is excellent at gluten free cooking!

    Your post made me laugh, I understand your dilemma and you are a true stomach sufferer! I used to have an arsenal of meds to medicate. I guess it really depends what you want to deal with or suffer through... First off, me..I CANNOT eat gluten, there is no build up just an UNLIKEABLE experience=vacation ruinned. I also can not have eggs. I do cheat...

    It is different for everyone but there is a long detox and healing period if you are Celiac or gluten intolerant. It is not just a diet but a lifestyle. 2 suggestions: 1. start with an elimination diet. Boiled chicken and rice with water for 2 weeks. It is terrible but it is the best way to reset your system then add one food every couple...

    That is great! Glad you liked it! I wanted to mention there are ALOT of good gluten free pasta options. The trick with gluten-free pasta is to NOT OVER COOK= A mushy mess with slimy taste. Make sure you follow the directions to a T or even back down the time a minute or two. My favorite brand is Tinkyada for lasagna, spaghetti, penne etc!! But Quinoa...
