    Thanks Becci & Jerseyangel! I'll check out the Science diet cat food today! I think the Tidy cat litter just has clay in it, but I did email them just to make sure. Sorry, about your kittie, Jerseygirl. I know it's hard to lose a special pet. I can't live with out my two cats, Bella & Chloe! At least now they're be healthier, too....

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good cat food and cat litter that are gluten free. I've been gluten free for a month now & I'm still not feeling that much better. So, I was wondering if maybe I should change my cat litter & cat food. I use tidy cat scoopable liter & Friskies. I see the Friskies definitely has wheat gluten...

    Yes, I felt very anxious & I had a hard time going to sleep. I've been on the diet for a month now & I still feel anxious at times. And my stomach still hurts. It seems like so many foods bother me. I can't eat everything I want.

    Hi everyone, I have to say my doc told me pretty much the same thing. He told me after I'm heal I might be ablee to "cheat" once in a while. I know... weird? But my nutritionist (who also has celiac disease) told me not even a crumb! Sounds like a lot of doctors aren't as informed as we would like them to be and really don't know a lot about this disease...

    Thanks for clarifing that information for the Tums! I do have the Fruit & Berry Fusion flavor. I guess that's why I had a reaction from them. That's good to know the other products don't contain gluten. Thanks again!

    I'm not sure about the herbal teas. Since I have so many allergies (like tress & grass) I don't want to try them. Also, I was thinking about digestive supplements two weeks ago. I asked my nurtruitist (who also has celiac disease) about digestive supplements & he told me to stay away from them. They could make your symptoms worse. Maybe just...

    Hi, I'm pretty new to this also. And I made the mistake of taking Tums. They're not gluten free so don't try them. I've been on the diet for about two weeks now & I'm slowly feeling better. Two weeks ago, I was having a very full feeling to my stomach & after just two bits of food I felt like I couldn't eat anymore. it was pretty scary since...

    Thanks! That's good to know. I'll keep that in mind. Let us know how you're feeling in a month. I really hope it works for you!

    Thanks for tips everyone! I've been on the diet for about 10 days now & the acid reflux is just about gone. My throat , chest & stomach are still sore though. But at least I don't have that constant burning in my throat! It was so painful! I lost my voice the whole month of July. I'm sure it will take some time for my body. I just have to be gentle...

    HI Meagan, I just called Abbott, too. They pretty much told me the same thing. The said the ingredients don't contain gluten, but they have no way of testing the synthyiod the find out & that's why they can't guarantee that it doesn't have gluten in it. So, I guess for right now, I'll take it, since the generic brand is so inconsistent. And...

    Thanks so much! I was tryng to find out this morning & I didn't see anything to be worried about, so I ate some this morning. All of this reading ingredients is new to me. It's very overwhelming & confusing! I guess I'll get used to it.... Thanks again!

    Hi all, I was wondering if the original egg beaters are still gluten free? I was looking at the ingredents & wondering about "natural flavorings?" I'm new to all of this & still learning. Any information would be great. Thank-you!

    Do you know of anything that would be a good weight gainer & that's gluten free? Thanks!

    Thanks Gemini, I will call the company. You are so right. I'm so new to all of this but what you said makes a lot of sense. When I get a response from them, I'll let everyone know. It's really crazy that a company that makes the synthyroid would have gluten in there medicine when thyriod disease & celiac are so closely connected. Wish...

    HI there! Thanks for responding! The ingredients for the Ensure are : Water, corn maltodextrin, sugar (sucrose), milk protein, canola oil, soy protein, concentrate, corn oil, short-chain fructooligsacchardes, natural and artifical flavors, whey protein concentrate, soy lecithin and carrageenan. It says it's lactose & gluten -free. I'm kind of...

    Thanks so much for sharing. Sorry to hear about your thyriod cancer. I just had it last year & I really think dealing with the celiac disease feels much worse. At least, for me they were able to remove all of the cancer & I did the radition, too. But the celiac disease, I'll have to deal with it forever. Feeling pretty bummed out.... I'm just so...

    Thanks for the tips! I got a few dumb questions though - What do you mean by AI? Going anti- Inflammatory & what are the nightshade vegies? I've been having serious reflux that goes up to my throat, too. AndI'm so skinny & tring to eat five times a day. I just started this diet 8 days ago. And I feel so weak. Any more advice would be great. Thanks...

    Thanks so much for responding! I think I will check out the California Baby & make a trip to Target tomorrow. I too, avoid the fragrance section of all the department stores! I'm so senstive...Why do we need all of this fragrance stuff anyway???

    Thanks for your advice. I was on the Levoxyl before I had my thyriodectomy, but they told me that they thought it was neccesary for me to change to the Synthyriod. The docs told me the generic (Levoxyl) might make my TSH levels move up & down. I guess they believe the Synthyriod is more accurate? Go figure? I'm not sure if that's right or not. What do...

    Well, I do have celiac disease. Thanks for all your advice & tips. I did try the apple cidar vineager. But I think it made the pain on my left side (under my ribcage) hurt more, so I stopped using it. I think it did help with the digestion though. But I thought it might not be good for me to use right now since my stomach & intestines need to heal...

    Hi all, Does anyone know if Synthryoid is gluten free? I called my endo doctor today & ask him if I should change to the generice brand. They recommended that I stay with the synthyriod unless I'm not feeling well with the gluten free diet. I don't have a thyriod at all & I just had thyriod cancer last year so changing to another medicine doesn...

    Hi, I'm new to all of this. I just found out I have celiac disease last week & I've been trying to eat gluten free for a week now. How long does it usually take to feel better? Has anyone had a full feeling to their stomach? It's like I'm hungry, but I can't put anything into my stomach. I'm very skiny & weak. My stomach is very tender, too...

    Hi all, I was just diagnoisied with celiac disease last week & I've been on the gluten free diet for a week now. I've been trying to find a good unscented, gluten free lotion. I'm very senstive to fragrances & even some unscented lotions bother me. Any sugestions? Thanks for the help!
