ARCHIVED Peanut Butter
kareng replied to jen9882's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Never seen a peanut butter with gluten. Peanuts are not grown near wheat as they need different climates. Perhaps it is too fatty for you right now? or maybe you have a problem with legumes? I use Skippy usually. -
ARCHIVED Celiac Disease Questions And Help Please
kareng replied to KerryLad's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Maybe its not Celiac but your awful diet? Try to eat better - less fried & fatty stuff, add a vegetable or some fruits that aren't fried or sauced or cheese covered? The lack of fiber in your diet and excess fat are hard on your intestines. -
ARCHIVED Pf Changs - Gluten Or Other Ingredient
kareng replied to kvanrens1's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
They cook & marinate the food with the gluten-free soy sauce (San-J Tamari), so there is soy in it. This is from the website. Doesn't mention MSG. But in the frozen food section they say no MSG in those products so I'm thinking there is probably none in the restaruant food. "All Gluten Free items are served on a special plate with the P.F. Chang... -
ARCHIVED Pf Changs - Gluten Or Other Ingredient
kareng replied to kvanrens1's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I have eaten at 3 different PF Changs and always had good luck. Anything is possible when someone else fixes your food. Is she intolerant to something else that might be in the dishes? Soy? Egg? -
ARCHIVED Alternative For Mayonnaise?
kareng replied to Oria's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
When I read the responses - some make it because they can't find a soy free one where they live or an egg free one they like. Has nothing to do with gluten. Just thier other intolerances or allergies. -
ARCHIVED 1 Year Gluten Free And Still A Score Of 6
kareng replied to alscat's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
What test and what are the reference ranges? The ones I have taken a 6 would be negative. -
ARCHIVED Velveeta
kareng replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I had not used this product lately but thought it was a Kraft product. I gave Mo some info so that, in the future, she could find out for herself if a product contained gluten. I thought that would be helpful to her - to teach her how to find this info for herself. I told her that Kraft is very clear about what contains gluten by labeling it in an easy... -

ARCHIVED Negative Test?
kareng replied to taynichaf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The newer tests re quite reliable. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Is it possible to have a negative blood test, but a positive biopsy? While rare, it is possible to have a negative blood test and still have celiac disease. tTG sensitivity is approximately 98%, which means that 2% of all celiacs may have a normal tTG level. Sometimes... -

You have none of these? How do you know you have any kind of "intolerance"? Open Original Shared Link Tough love - I think you don't WANT to have Celiac because you can cheat and don't have to be as strict if you think you have just an " intolerance". -

ARCHIVED Coming Back To Gluten Free
kareng replied to hawkpacific's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Why not get tested for Celiac before you stop eating gluten? Maybe if you had a " real" medical diagnosis, it would help you stick to the diet. -
He has not Ben on this forum for 3 years so you probably won't get an answer from him.

ARCHIVED Velveeta
kareng replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
First. What was so rude about asking if it was a Kraft product and telling her if it was, they will label well? I have since found out that Velveeta does appear to be gluten-free. I told her that Kraft labels clearly. Second- this conversation was over 2 years ago. Why do you want to turn it into a fight with me at this point? -

When you are looking for your Florida place, maybe you should get some property or a triplex for a Celiac South Complex? We can get one in Colorado for summers and skiing. Heck- Colorado would be south for those two! -
ARCHIVED When Will My Libido Come Back? Im Scared Straight!
kareng replied to wonderingman's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Like I answered to your previous post - have you told your doctor this? Have you had your testosterone checked? Maybe it isn't related to gluten at all? or other health condition? Like I suggested before, perhaps you should check some reputable sites, like Mayo Clinic and see what else might be causing your issue. -
ARCHIVED Celiac Before Gastric Bypass. Any Complications We Need To Know?
kareng replied to mburkee's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I think I have seen something " official" on this. I can't find it and I'm not sure if said we shouldn't have bypass or lap band. Univ of Chicago Celiac center usually answers questions. You might ask them. Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Possibility Of Food Intolerances? Suggestions Needed!
kareng replied to jamiecasabellameeks's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Don't you have an actual diagnosis from a doc? If you have a doctor that thinks Celiac isn't real, you should get another doctor. The best way to see if you are intolerant to a food is an elimination diet and food diary. I think you should give the gluten-free diet a few more months before you try to eliminate most all foods and try them on at a time... -
Because you are self- diagnosed, you will hear that from doctors for the rest of your life. If they don't have an official diagnosis on record, they likely won't treat you as if you have Celiac disease.

ARCHIVED Sex Drive After Going Gluten Free
kareng replied to soulcurrent's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Maybe it has nothing to do with gluten? Have you told your doctor about this? Had testosterone tested? A side effect of a medication for other medical issue? Maybe google this and find some reputable sites like Mayo clinic and see what they say. -
I have not tried this, so I can't say if its worth any money. GMA has a free 3 month subscription. The website says they have gluten-free meal plans. Thought someone might want to try it. If you do, could you come back and tell us how it went? Open Original Shared Link "Save yourself money and calories by eating fresh and healthy. Named a “genius s...
