    Just a thought - maybe it has nothing to do with gluten? Maybe you should see a doctor? I know this is a radical idea for a Celiac website but - Not everything is about gluten or even a food intolerance.

    It likely depends on the test. Genetic tests seem to take longer. I was told that, they only ran certain tests once or twice a week. That can make a difference, too. Relax. I doubt your doc will have them until late next week at the earliest. Could you call Quest and ask?

    Tannins? the stuff that is in wine and some fruit juices and maybe a few other foods? Just don't drink wine, eat raw nuts, high tannin fruits or juice and chocolate or whatever else they are in. I think the antibiotics are a different thing. They can kill off the good bacteria you need to keep your GI tract moving along properly. This might be a good...

    If you also look at the Univ of Chicago site you will see that they say there is no scientific evidence for cross-reactivity and the "lab" you refer to has no scientific basis for these "tests". 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-react...

    Stephanie posted this in another thread. It's a very good idea to read it before your allergy testing. It's from National Institute of Health so its a very reliable source for info. Might be more reliable than some allergy docs.

    Glad you saw this! I was trying to remember them from a previous post you made (probably last year at the beginning of school). I wanted some for me! When we travel & I have my sandwich and we go into a fast food place for everyone else, I get bunches of napkins to put on the table for my lunch. Are they waterproof enough to put carrots or something...

    In the US, I have never seen a toothpaste with gluten. The shampoo and lotions are just because they can get in your mouth. If you don't think you will get them in your mouth, don't worry about it. I don't worry about sun lotions because I don't get them in my mouth. I haven't seen any with anything obviously wheat. You could find wheat germ oil maybe...

    I believe you were brought up the fact that you have anxiety attacks early on in your postings. Looks like you found a doctor to help you. Obviously you haven't died as you threatened to a few times. When you kept insisting that you couldn't breathe, we all told you that was serious (if it was true) and needed immediate attention. It appears...

    Sure. But seriously...blaming it on the doctors takes it from being your personal quirk or an insult to their cooking and places it strictly into "following medical advice". edited because it wasn't a complete sentence. Now, it is more than complete

    I think I would just try to explain that some foods make you sick but you came because you really like them and enjoy their company. You could even laugh it off as a stupid white person illness. If they ask if you can have this or that, I would just say that your doctor told you not to eat food you haven't prepared. You could blame it on the doctors.

    The sugar alcohols are a problem for lots of people - even those without Celiac. Remember, for any Celiac testing, you must be eating gluten for a few weeks to get a positive result.

    whey & casein are milk. If they say Gluten free, they likely are. I don't understand about fans. Did you mean pans? Have you read this thread for People new to Celiac: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/

    My 20 yr old had surgery at 10 months and woke up really happy! They gave him Sprite in a bottle. He had never had Sprite! The anesthesia they use these days is pretty light and shouldn't be too bad. She may just want to go back to sleep for a couple of hours and that's OK. Or she may be starving so you might bring a light snack and juice or Gatorade...

    Thanks for that link. A very good resource. I'm learning a lot from it.

    Have you been eating gluten free along? Because then the blood tests would probably be negative.

    It doesn't mean there is any gluten. Its just a test that is run on a little bit of a batch of food. Less than 20 ppm could mean it has 19 ppm or 2 ppm or 0. A lot of processed gluten free junk is still processed junk. gluten-free baked goods have some ingredients that aren't in gluten baked goods or not very often. Maybe cut back on the processed...

    Open Original Shared Link It says people with auto-immune diseases shouldn't use it. And seems to have some interactions with a few medicines. It may just be that it disagrees with your stomach.

    Thanks for the link, Jess. Unfortunately, being a mod means I sometimes have to remind people of the rules they agreed to when they signed on here. One of those rules pertains to making statements of fact that are not generally known and having reliable back-up to show us, so we can learn from it. Also, sometimes, I have to steer the topics back...

    SHHHH! Don't let my Hub hear this! I used it as an excuse to really nice new pans & to keep the boys from burning their eggs & bacon in my nice pans.

    I suggested it because I couldn't tell why they wouldn't cover it. Thought it might help. Myself - I would and did pay for my colonoscopy and endo with the deductible. It cost a lot more than $700 but I had the colonoscopy portion and anesthesia, too. I thought it was worth it to see the amount of damage and make sure nothing else was wrong. We put...

    Your regular doctor can test your blood and see if your levels are normal. You will just have to ask as most doctors don't think of this. IF you are having issues, you might want to see a GI.
