    I've had so many kidney, bladder, sinus, and respiratory infections in the last twenty years. I was starting to get immune to the antibiotics the doctors were giving me and I had to start buying the most expenisive brands. Most of the time I had to get two to three presriptions of them just to recover. I was sick so much out of every year. It was horrible...

    I just wanted to add that I was getting gluten from these vitamins, too. I took me a while to figure it out. I called this company three times... I was taking the same vitamins for months and I had so much energy, but I was still having my same old gluten reaction, so I stopped taking them to see if I felt better. All my reactions went away. It's crazy how...

    Look at your diet to see if it's something else giving you these reactions. I too, really doubt that it's the bottled water. Good Luck!

    Sorry -I don't trust the gluten free medication list. I always call the company myself first. If a company tells me they can't guarantee a product is gluten free, or there is a chance of CC, I don't take it. It sounds like you already did some calling. I would just start changing the meds to a different company to see if you feel any different. Maybe they...

    Hi Seth! Welcome to the board! I know exactly what you're going through -believe me- we all do! There's so much great information here -just keep reading. Everything will get so much easier once you get used to the diet. It would really help you to stick with basic fresh foods for now- fresh meats, fresh veggies and fruit. You have to watch your spices...

    Hi Garysgirl! Believe me - I completely understand how you feel. I can't believe your Doctor never ordered blood work for you. Maybe you really just need a good doctor and a dietitian who understand celiac disease more. My first GI doctor was so clueless about the disease. Even though he diagnosed me with celiac through upper endoscopy & probably...

    I agree. I wouldn't take them. I actually started taking GNC Women's Ultra Mega Active 3 weeks ago. They're gluten free and I just called them to ask about CC. I'm really sensitive & so far these are the only good vitamins I have found that I can take without having any reactions.

    Hi Wenmin, I know I was getting some CC of gluten from the brand name synthriod last year. I called the Abbott company twice & they told me the same thing - "They didn't add gluten to the synthriod but they didn't test for gluten & they couldn't guarantee it was gluten free." Last year after being on the gluten free diet for three months, I didn...

    Hi Sarah, I really feel for you. I know what's it's like to have that much anxiety. It's a horrible feeling. You've gotten lots of great advice from everyone. I know deep breathing, meditating, journaling, exercise & talking to a counselor really helped me when I was feeling really stressed out and anxious. Your post reminded me a lot of myself when...

    Thanks cassP! Good luck with the Armour!

    I just use Dove -fragrance free soap. My dermatologist recommended it to me a long time ago when I was having acne problems (now I know it was because of the gluten). She said that's all we really need -a gentle soap that's easy on your skin with no harsh chemicals. It doesn't matter if your skin is dry or oily. And you can use a little exfoliating sponge...

    Yes! I used to get acid reflex with them also, when I was first diagnosed. I thought maybe I was allergic to them at first. But, like everyone else says, they are hard to digest & if your small intestines aren't healed yet you might just have a hard time digesting them. The good news is this might just be temporary. My dietitian recommended me to...

    Hi there, I've been taking Levoxly from King Pharmaceuticals & it is gluten free the last time I checked -last year.I'm really sensitive & I've never had any problems with it. Open Original Shared Link
  14. Tigercat17
    Thanks Patti for clarifying this! I know I am a sensitive one also, so I probably won't be able to eat them. After reading everyone's posts about these for the last year, I was too afraid to even try them. I just stick with Lays Stax & Xochitl Corn Chips. I used to eat chips everyday before going gluten free, but now I don't get those cravings...

    Hi, I've been taking Levoxly 100 from King Pharmaceuticals & it is gluten free the last time I checked -last year. My doctor writes on my prescription "Brand name" so the pharmacy can't give me any generic brands. I'm very sensitive & I've never had any problems with it. I did take synthyriod for my first three months of being gluten free....

    Hi GlutenGladi! Thanks for the tip! No, I haven't been taking any, but I have heard about the great benefits of fish oil. How much do you think I should take? I'm very active - I exercise, lift weights & I might try to get pregnant this year (hopefully) What do you think? Thank for the advice!

    Hi Carolina! I use Paul Mitchell. It does have soy in it, but I don't know if you have problems with soy or not. I've been using it ever since I've been gluten free & it hasn't bothered me at all. Paul Mitchell is very good with listing all of their ingredients and if their product has wheat in it, it will be listed in bold print. I also use the...

    Thanks so much Patti!!! I was thinking about buying these, too, and did a little research on them. When I called they told me there is no gluten in there facility so there is no chance of cross contamination and they test for gluten! That's wonderful! Very Impressive! Thanks again!

    I second Pocono Cream of Buckwheat. It's so good with milk and fresh blueberries or strawberries. I eat this about two times a week

    Hi everyone, I've really had a lot of problems with vitamins in the past year & I'm hoping someone could give me a good recommendation on a good gluten free vitamin and they know they're antibodies are normal. I'm really sensitive & I've started with Member's Mark then I switched to Megafood vitamins and Rainbow Light and then I changed to...

    I totally agree with T.H. ans Skylark - It does depend on how sensitive you are to gluten. I do avoid processed foods a lot. And I too mostly stick with home-cooked meals. I make a lot of food when I make dinners & then I freeze it. My home-made frozen meals are great when I don't have time to cook. I feel so much better so it's definitely worth it...

    I LOVE the Silk Almond Milk! I drink it everyday! And it's even good in mashed potatoes too! Yum!!!

    Hi there! I have allergies too & I live with cats. I do take regular clairton (over the counter) and it is gluten free. I usually take it once in a while when my allergies are really bad. I do nasal nasal irrigation, too, once a day & that really helps sine I have a lot of sinus problems. You get used to doing it after a while. I also had allergy...

    I would call the product number. Believe it or it could be made from barley. This is an "iffy one." Always call.
  25. Tigercat17
    I would really watch out for the "gluten free" snacks. I was getting glutened by a lot of them & "gluten -free" cereals. Just because it's says gluten-free, doesn't mean that it is completely free of gluten. I only trust Glutino. And then I only eat them once in a while. I was really skinny, too, but now, after I weeded all the things I was still getting...
