    Ok.... Well.... Just insert a 4 in my post for every 2. It's still applies.

    What I am trying to say is, it's a little early to " be glutened". If that is the case, you haven't been gluten-free for 2 days. You need time to get the hang of the diet, heal, get your intestines back in working order. That doesn't happen in 2 hours gluten-free or 2 weeks gluten-free or even 2 months gluten-free. In the beginning, anything can make...

    You have been trying gluten-free for 2 days. Give yourself time. You don't even know you have any issues with gluten for certain. if I remember. Maybe its the dairy. You can't really be "glutened" when you haven't really been gluten free and healed some (assuming Celiac is the issue).

    You have to do the endoscopy to get a sample of the small intestine. I don't think they have figured out any other way to do it. Yes, Celiac disease can kill you. If you can't absorb any food and vitamins, you will die.

    If you can find these..... So good! They come in different sizes. Open Original Shared Link

    Just read the ingredients. Wheat must be clearly labelled. Rye isn't in much but bread or crackers you wouldn't buy because of the wheat in them. Barley or barley malt will be labelled because it's an ingredient. Oats must say gluten-free or they may contain wheat. There are some weird kinds of wheat but they aren't very common. Gluten really can't...

    No. Look at other people's profiles by clicking on them. That is what everyone sees. Log out and look at your profile as a guest. That is what others see.

    I think metal ones clean better than plastic.

    You should be able to just wash it well. The one I have has a very smooth surface, inside and out. It doesn't have a bunch of crevices that are hard to clean. If you had boiled pasta in it, you may need to scrub extra. Maybe boil water a few times? I find vinegar " melts" sticky flour so it can be washed away.

    Have you seen the little lunch crockpots? Does he have a fridge and microwave at work? He could take left- overs. He could take salads with meat and cheese. Pasta. Peanut butter and crackers and celery. Cheese, crackers and fruit. Really anything. Open Original Shared Link. I have seen them at Walmart and Target a little cheaper. They work...

    Either way, you will know something. My nephew's blood test was negative and they just stopped looking for anything else. I see this as a good sign, that, even if its negative, they want to help figure it out. But, honestly, a positive Celiac diagnosis might be better. You know what it is and can start making him better. Use the weekend to make a list...

    If possible, I would call back and talk to a nurse. The person who makes appts can't tell you. Make 2 lists of questions - one for negative & one for positive. I know I forget what I wanted to say when I'm there.

    You might check your local grocery stores. Here, some of the HyVees have lots of gluten-free breads, flours, etc. Whole Foods is often cheaper. Safeway has there own line of gluten-free products. You might want to check several different Targets, Walmarts, Groceries. Some carry different things than others. Look for "regular" foods like Chex or...

    If the results are positive, they probably want to discuss your next steps. If the results are negative, they probably want to discuss your next steps. I hate when they won't say "The tests were negative. We want to discuss where we go from here." Or the reverse. Would give you time to think of questions. Any chance you could call back to day and...

    You have been gluten-free for a year? No point in taking the blood test. Even if you have celiac it should come back negative. You need to have been eating gluten for a while to make the antibodies that show up in the blood test. It's a shame doctors have no clue.
  18. kareng
    Lots of foods are gluten-free and df. So you should be able to do most of your shopping at Walmart. Walmart seems to have a few gluten-free pasta choices. Not sure about bread. I have seen Udis at Target.

    You mean the little candy bars? I eat those. Not the ones that have gluten in every size - like Krackel bars. I haven't noticed a change in the ingredients between the big and little chocolate bars. They even say they don't have all the products on the list and to read ingredients. From Hersheys: For your convenience, the current products listed below...

    The link went to an article/thread on our site. The link to the article seems to no longer be good. This happens with "news articles" sometimes. The articles aren't active forever.

    I am just remembering the one we had many years ago. It would be really hard to get it properly cleaned. Maybe the newer ones are more "cleanable".

    The link to that article seems to have messed up. The point was, there was a study that found no link. Maybe google " autism and celiac" Open Original Shared Link

    But you were eating gluten-free oat granola, right? Why would a facility shared with gluten-free oats bother you? kind said they make things on separate machines from the gluten-free oats for oat sensitives.

    I am going to move this over to recipes/ cooking section.

    Pure yeast doesn't have gluten. I think there may be a baking enhancer yeast that isn't gluten free but it will list the ingredients. Brewer's yeast usually isn't gluten free as its a bi-product of beer making. You wouldn't use brewer's yeast for a bread machine. Edited to add: we aren't talking about a bread machine that has made glutenful bread in...
