    Actually....I would freak out, in my head for a minute. I don't like to put my produce in plastic bags if I can help it. But then, I would go home and wash them really well. If they were in a plastic bag, I wouldn't worry . I don't set dirty grocery bags on my clean counter. But, since she was new, I wanted to make sure she knew the basics before...

    You are new here. I have no way of knowing that when you say you ate, soy sauce, for example, that it was twice in five years. Or even that it was an accident. We all have an occasional accident but I couldn't tell from your post. You said you tested positive for Celiac, so it would seem that you must have been eating some gluten. There was no explanation...

    I was just responding to your posts, but apparently, the advice I give most people is not right for you. That is your choice. You did say you eat soy sauce, etc and in another post that you eat out every day and are in an environment with flour in the air you are swallowing, etc. I am sorry you don't think you need to eliminate these things nor that reading...

    If you had positive blood antibodies for Celiac, after 5 years you thought were gluten free, I guess you now know you weren't very gluten-free. So you will want to really tighten up your diet. Read the newbie thread to get started. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/page-2#entry896943

    Unfortunately, this is how Celiac " myths" are born. People read the mis- information, and, for some reason, believe it without any research or common sense, and don't come back a day or two later to read the " truth". Sigh....

    Sorry but I must correct this cross- reactivity " theory". In fact, most of the foods on the list are so far from close to gluten, it makes little sense to me. Open Original Shared Link What’s with all the talk about certain types of food causing “cross-reactivity?” There is not yet reliable data about cross-reactivity. As for the alleged possibility that ...

    The post you are responding to is over 3 years old. Perhaps policies have changed in that period of time? I know about 4 years ago, our local Culvers didn't know anything about this nor did the company website have much info.

    Every year, you should be getting follow up blood work to make sure you aren't making antibodies. I have to print this page I linked to off every year and show my doctor. It can be done by your regular doctor or your OB/GYN. If it is high, you will want to re-evaluate your diet and cc. Open Original Shared Link

    True. It is not a cider. It is a flavored beer

    It can be a sign of Celiac disease. Get tested for Celiac , not allergies. However, you need to be eating gluten consistently to get tested. How long have you been gluten free? Open Original Shared Link Do your liver enzymes return to normal after going gluten free? Yes, if the increase was caused by celiac disease. No, if they were elevated...

    Pregnancy messes up everyone's digestion - it might be nausea, constipation, diarrhea, gas, heart burn, etc. Amazing what we women can deal with.

    I have ordered it before. Beer doesn't come out of the same spout as the cider. Each keg has its own spout.

    But stating that Mars uses "run-off chocolate" from gluten candy bars in the making of gluten-free ones isn't something that is going to be researched. It was stated like a fact with no real evidence. Maybe you will get an answer from the candy company and that will explain things - that would be a fact. And while we welcome exchanges of ideas and theories...

    If your having all this stomach issues/nausea, maybe you shouldn't have alcohol of any kind right now? It can be very rough on your stomach. Sodas don't contain gluten but some people, Celiac or not, may have a problem with an ingredient or the bubbles. That doesn't mean you will. If you are going to drink, what about hard ciders? Seems like...

    Ok. Couldn't tell from the post. Maybe rice just isn't for you? At least until you are feeling better, then you could try it again.

    Its possible to have an issue with another food that has nothing to do with gluten. It may be that rice is just not for you. However, if you were eating premade rice cakes, you probably weren't following the Fasano diet. I think it is all whole foods and no pre-made processed foods like rice cakes or flours. Here's a brief description of the Fasano...

    Here is a good place to start. What country do you live in? Some products and laws are different by country. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/

    Currently, there are no medically accepted tests for Celiac that can be done without eating gluten. Nor are there any tests for NCGS. You could just tell people you have a diagnosis? Its not really any of their business how yo are diagnosed. Open Original Shared Link

    I am in the US and I buy whatever plain rice I see, usually Uncle Ben's and Ludberg. Mixes with flavors might have wheat in them.
  22. kareng
    Are the soft tortillas wheat or corn? Plain corn ones should be fine. Does it contain a powdered spice packet? Just read the ingredients, it will list if it has wheat.
  23. kareng
    I have never seen a shredded cheese with flour added. Unless it was some special thing to make a sauce or fondue? The fondue or sauce makers I have seen use corn or potato starch but I suppose its possible. Just shows you always have to read the ingredients. fortunately, in the US, Canada and some other countries, wheat has to be labeled clearly.
  24. kareng
    Just remember that they can't test for Celiac without eating gluten. If they start feeling good, are you willing to put them back on gluten for many weeks to get a diagnosis for school, hospitals, etc?
  25. kareng
    I guess some things that surprised me when I started, but are labeled as containing wheat or malt are: Anything with soy sauce - "Asian"/Teryaki salad dressings (but I have found a few made with soy sauce that doesn't contain wheat) Rice Krispies & corn Flakes (the ones not labeled gluten-free have malt) Non-gluten-free oats - didn't know oats contain...
