    HI Icelandgirl! awww... thanks for the hugs.. I have gotten my antibodies checked 8 months but not lately. And they were 11... But I was feeling horrible at that time. I think if I'm only getting CC my antibodies don't show anything since I've been gluten free for 8 years. Thank you! I'll have to get them rechecked this week. But I am changing my thyroid...

    Thank you Manasota! That is so helpful! I haven't called them since Sept. and I didn't think to ask them about shared lines... but wow! That would explain a lot! I can't tolerate anything made on shared lines. I am that sensitive. I did talk to my doctor today and they are so nice and helpful.. They're going to put me back on the Levothyroxine (Lannett brand...

    Thanks sdlane! Lots of good information. I don't have a thyroid at all. I had thyroid cancer over 8 years ago, so I'm really dependent on these drugs. I'll talk to my doctor tomorrow and see what they want to do. I know I'm getting some CC and I have taken out so many things from my diet to test and see if I feel better, but I feel like crap and I know this...

    I'm having other symptoms too. Bloated, my stomach hurts, not sleeping well, tried all the time.. I feel like I have trouble concentrating. And I get cold sores after I get glutened... night sweats when I get a lot of it. Since I've been celiac for almost 8 years I know my glutney symptoms well.

    Hi All! I have really been struggling this last year. I have been dealing with acid reflex for almost a year now. I tried the acid reflux meds and I got really sick and they just made it worse. So, I've been on a very low acid diet (GERD Diet) and trying to keep it under control. But I really think I'm getting glutened by my thyroid meds. I don't take...

    HI Everyone! I just wanted to share the Giant Eagle gluten free product list with you all! I'm not sure if anyone posted this before. It's new to me and very helpful. If you want to find a product just hit control F and a find box will come up. You can either type in the product or UPC code. This really helped me! I just found out a few items that...

    HI Everyone! I just called Giant Eagle about their fresh Nature's Basket fresh chicken and all other chicken and they told me none of it is on their gluten free list. They said there is no gluten in it, but they couldn't guarantee CC.. Ugh.. I've been eating this for the last 6 years I've been gluten free and I could've swore I called them 6 years ago...

    Thanks Ladies! I started the Zantac 150 today, so we'll see how I feel tomorrow. lol.. I'm pretty sensitive and especially now.. They said they didn't put gluten in it, but they don't test. i know this is the standard answer most of the time. It's just frustrating. Judy, I did notice that Walmart Omeprezole says gluten free right on the box! I couldn...

    Hi everyone! Thanks so much for all your ideas and comments! I really appreciate the help! They really made me think... I did stop the Quinoa yesterday. Crazy because I've been eating it almost everyday for the last four years. But hey it's worth a shot and I do believe my throat feels a little better since I stopped, so maybe my system is a little off...

    HI all! Does anyone take Zantac 150 (over the counter) without any problems? I just called the company and they told me they don't put gluten in the product, but can't guarantee cross contamination. And they don't test for gluten. I hate when companies say that... ugh.. Or is anyone taking a different acid reflux medicine that they could recommend...

    Hi All! I really need help... I am still struggling with serve acid reflux. I just feel horrible.. Just a little background info on me - I've been gluten-free for almost 5 years and after I healed I felt great on the diet for the last 4 years. I've had no problems except if I went out to eat and maybe got a little CC, but nothing that lasted for...

    Hi Serieda, I'm so sorry you're not feeling good. Sending hugs and prayers to you!! Do you feel like you're getting gluten from the medication? Did you call the pharm companies yourself? I always call personally.. I wouldn't trust anyone to check for me and I have gotten CC from medications before that claim they are gluten free. As for the enlarged...

    Sorry, but I am too chicken to even try gluten-free oatmeal.. LOL! And I've been gluten-free for almost 6 years now. But I have substituted it with Quinoa for my cereal in the mornings. Just add any berries, walnuts and silk almond milk. It is really so good that I don't even miss oatmeal.

    Hi Shade, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this. I wasn't sure if you tired for applying for food stamps or not and I'm not sure what state you live in... The link below is for PA, but I thought this website might be helpful. I just applied for my ex-husband last night. He has cancer and is really struggling. But I'm sure whatever state...

    Hi Renaye, I've had a lot of luck with Kirkman Labs for multi vitamins and Calcium and I am very sensitive. They have no gluten in their facility. Also, you can ask your doctor to order a 50,000 vitamin D capsule that you take once a month. It has helped me a lot and my vitamin D levels are normal. I added the link of the brand that I take and it...

    Thanks for responding everyone! Well it looks like I'll be changing to Levoxly today. So we'll see if my reactions go away ... I'll keep you all posted. ..

    Hi Colleen, Thanks for responding. Yes, I did role out hypo and hyperthyroidism. I just got my blood work done last week and my thyroid levels are right where the doctors want them to be. I did just call my GI doctor and they are going to order me blood work to get my antibodies checked. My antibodies have been at 11 for the last five years so if they...

    Thanks Mamaw! I know that list isn't always up to date, so that's why I'm asking here.. I actually got glutened from a couple meds on that list.
  19. Tigercat17
    I like Edy's too! I called them last week just to double check and they said they will list wheat on the label if it has any in it. Just beware if it says cookies or cake you know it has wheat in it. I usually stick with Neopolitan or mint chocolate chip.

    Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've been on here. Just a little background info on me..I've been strictly gluten-free for 6 years now and feeling really great on the diet, but now all the sudden my celiac symptoms have returned in the last six weeks. I have a gluten free kitchen.. but the only gluten I have is the cat and fish food, but I wash my...

    I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Yes, stop taking the Country Life. I got glutened from them 5 years ago. I was taking them for about 3 months and I was feeling worse. Once I stopped taking them I felt so much better. I now only trust Kirkman Labs. I am really sensitive and I've been taking the multi vitamin, Calicum and vitamin C for about 4 years now...

    I actually thought it was poison ivy at first, but it's been two months now. Plus you would think the steroids would have taken it away completely. Right now, gluten CC and corn are my biggest suspect. It seemed after I took the prednisone it was looking like it was going away, then I ate a gluten-free cereal (Arrowmills Buckwheat), Frito's and Popcorn two...

    Sorry, I'm kind of foggy today because of the thyroid cancer testing I'm going through today. And I'm super tried. I guess the doctor was just saying that if I avoid all the foods that I had positive results to, I could become more sensitive to all of them and become malnourished. Also he told me that just because you have a positive skin test it doesn't...
  24. Tigercat17
    Opps, sorry Squirming! I didn't have the steroids until after the biopsy. I just wanted to clear that up. I just typed that in wrong. I started to eat low iodine tonight, so we'll see if it helps. It's just so frustrating.
  25. Tigercat17
    Hi Irishheart! So nice to hear from you! Sounds like you are feeling well! I'm so glad! Thanks for all the info Squirmy! That really blew my mind! I was thinking about gluten, too. I'm going to recheck everything. I know everything I'm eating is gluten free, but I also been there before where I was getting glutened by something that was supposed to be...
