    The first link is not a reliable scientific source. The second link pertains to fluoride poisoning as an immediate event - a child eating the whole tube of toothpaste for example. It mentions that low levels will not "poison" you. Once again, I would caution that this is a Celiac forum and other agendas are not appropriate here or pertain to the topic...

    This is an explanation from another thread that might be helpful.

    I only know what the labeling laws are in the US. So I'm answering from that perspective. Cheese should be safe. I haven't seen any with gluten except for a few gourmet cheeses made with beer. Perhaps you could call a company that makes the type of cheese you are talking about and ask. However, if your villi are severely damaged, it will be hard to...

    this isn't an anti ( insert your agenda here) forum, so I'm not going to insist you back this claim up with scientific evidence. We dont need this topic to go off on odd tangents. We were discussing gluten and wine. Lets keep the discussion to that, please.

    That's not the same as your insurance won't pay for it. So an appeal wouldn't make any sense.

    Have your GI contest that by giving the insurance company more info? It might delay it a couple of weeks but that is what most doctors offices do.

    LOVE this poem!

    Actually, I usually tell people to read the labels, look at the website or email the company if the ingredients aren't clear. Most are people new to gluten free and need help learning how to read labels. If they are new- we have had them post ingredients so we can help them understand. I would like people to learn to do this themselves. I have seen people...

    I live with gluten and the people who eat it. We use the same dishes, forks, etc run thru the dishwasher.

    Some people like to use corn or rice chex for the coating. Or gluten-free pretzels.

    If his Celiac tests are positive, why is he still consuming gluten? May he should try to eat gluten free and get a negative test and see how he feels? If this is caused by gluten, perhaps he can heal at least some of the damage. However... I hope you took him in immediately to an emergency room to make sure he didn't have a stroke.

    If you are not eating gluten, they can't test you for Celiac. Something to consider.

    This is just someone's blog. There is no scientific evidence for this "cross-reactivity" in Celiac disease. 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 many gluten-free foods or drinks (such as co...

    The bloating, gas, etc sounds like lactose intolerant. The stuffy nose sounds like a milk allergy. Might need to experiment with the lactose free dairy products and see.

    Just a note before more people start replying - This poster hasn't been active since March. this thread is from Feb. But at least we are on the current year!

    The fact is - the company knows what is in the product and the manufacturing practices. If you are that worried about a product - why would you want to know what some random stranger on the internet might say? How would they really know anything different than you do? go directly to the company.

    This might be helpful https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/ Eating just processed and boxed foods isn't very healthy gluten free or not. You can eat meat, dairy (if it agrees with you), rice, veggies (fresh, frozen or canned), fruits, beans, eggs, etc. Just read the ingredients. A plain frozen veggie probably doesn't...

    What about something like a cloth napkin that would fold up easily? If you think the food might not stay in the lunch box?

    Just curious.... What do you know about this company " Now" to make you believe they are lying to the public when they say the calcium is dairy free and gluten free? That appears to be what you are saying when you question their listing of ingredients and ingredient statements?

    Slow down...Breathe... Ok...now to help people understand: Are you male or female? You lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks? Editing to add: what are you eating? How were you diagnosed?

    Gluten has to be ingested to cause a Celiac reaction. Do they make the bagels where you work? It's possible the flour in the air is getting swallowed. Possible you are allergic to something in the bagel store? I realize this is specifically about Play Doh but it pertains to touching gluten Open Original Shared Link "Should I worry about my...

    I haven't heard the term " end stage" for Celiac Disease also known as Celiac Sprue. Perhaps someone was referring to almost total damage of the biopsied parts of the small intestine. That can heal on a gluten free diet. The reason many Celiacs have trouble with dairy is that the lactase that digest the lactose in milk, is made in the villi. No villi...

    After a third miscarriage, your OB should suggest the blood test for Celiac. Show the OB this list of the most common symptoms. Not everyone has every symptom. Open Original Shared Link

    I'm back to what did your doctor say? Maybe you should see a GI doc? Isn't that test for Chron's? Maybe something else? Since you have a positive test for Chron's disease, you should talk to a GI. She didn't refer you to one? Well...maybe someone has some knowledge of tests that don't relate to Celiac and can help you. Weekends can be a bit slow here...

    If you want to put your Celiac panel results with reference ranges, we have many people who can help you. What did the doctor say? How long were you gluten free when they were run? They aren't valid if you haven't been eating gluten. That's not MY opinion, its a fact. Open Original Shared Link
