How does he know their is small intestine damage if he won't look for it? Especially because the Celiac bloods were negative. -
ARCHIVED Cold Snowy Winter Comin'............ Git Ready
kareng replied to Candy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I guess the one thing we did to get ready for winter was, in July, buy my oldest a pair of really nice, waterproof & warm hiking boots. His college tends to have several inches of cold slushy melting snow during the winter. He said in Ft Collins, Co they got a little snow. I think they got a bit more in the mountains. The boots were great. He... -

ARCHIVED Otc Temporary Digestive Aids For Celiacs
kareng replied to Major Dops's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was just at the International Celiac Disease Symposium and can tell you that they would answer this question "NO!" The doctors that are working on a pill that can break down gluten very quickly, before it leaves the stomach, tested the OTC and mail order products and found that they do not work at all or only work a very slight bit. They also say that... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Party Food

I forgot what country you live in. What do they serve for parties like this? Could you just do the gluten-free ones or maybe tweak them to be gluten-free? -
ARCHIVED Is This Gluten Free? Can't Find Any Info!
kareng replied to pretty in paleo's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am wondering. Have you ever found any that actually had a gluten ingredient? Not just a company that won't say something is gluten-free because they don't test it, etc. It seems to me that most medication does not contain gluten but I haven't dealt with that many medications orcould get a labeled gluten-free one so I didn't' ask about the other brand... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Party Food
kareng replied to Pauliewog's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You might want to go to the main page and use the google function. I always go down and check the "as posts" so its easier to read. Snacks and party food have been big topics. Cheese and crackers, IF you don't have nice crackers just cheese chunks are good. A big board of cheese, fruits, olives, nuts, salami....who needs crackers! You could make... -

kareng replied to tonalynn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Tonalyn - so as not to depress you further - There is no reason to sit in the car. As you go along, you will learn where you can eat safely and ways to deal with it if you can't. Many of us eat first or bring some food when going to restaurants. We go in and enjoy the company. There is no legitimate reason not to. -
ARCHIVED New - Abdominal Bloating
kareng replied to crazymomof8's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Why do doctors tell people to go gluten free before testing them? Agh!!! Unfortunately, you need to be eating gluten to be tested for celiac. Get tested! As for the cravings, sometimes the cravings mean we are lacking certain vitamins or minerals. Craving sweet probably doesn't mean you are deficient in unnaturally orange " Circus peanuts". It probably... -

I guess this is technically about my lunch... but you can't kick me off for it! I had a cold quinoa salad I picked up yesterday at this cute gluten-free tea/juicing café. It was a Mexican style? corn, black beans, tomatoes, pepper, etc. And I LOVED it ! I thought I didn't like quinoa but I was going to give it another shot. Now I just have to ... -

ARCHIVED Symptoms Improved But Haven't Gone Away.
kareng replied to jimhalpert625's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Not much fiber. Those bagels have a lot of ingredients that can cause you issues - like guar gum. Maybe eat some more fruits and veggies, nuts, etc and not eat the processed gluten-free stuff for a few weeks? See if that helps? -
ARCHIVED Is Corn O.k?
kareng replied to gemlechner's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Maybe you could cut back on the gluten-free processed replacements until she heals? They can have a lot of odd ingredients, like gums, that many people find hard to digest. -
The best way to know if you get enough liquid is to look at your pee. Pee should be very light yellow. If not, drink some more water during the day.

ARCHIVED Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Puffs
kareng replied to smsm's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We do have the new guidelines going into effect. 20 ppm is extremely small and that standard fits with most of the countries that have a gluten-free standard. Remember, that just because something tests at less than 20 parts per million, that does not mean it had 19 ppm or even 2 ppm. -

You can make most of these. Just sub gluten-free pretzels, don't use the wheat Chex, gluten-free soy sauce, etc Open Original Shared Link I be back in a few minutes with the way I make it -
Didn't cut out dairy. If you can digest it, don't worry about it. I don't drink milk but am more into the yogurt and hard cheeses which are lower lactose.
