    kareng replied to Deepak's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Wine is considered safe for Celiacs. This reaction may have nothing to do with Celiac. A reaction to sulphates is separate from Celiac Do you get this reaction from any other alcohol?

    I am assuming he was diagnosed with Celiac? Has he removed dairy? Celiac disease damages the part of the intestines that help digest dairy. The ability to digest dairy may return in a few months.

    You are correct. This is a topic started by Inc.

    I just want to point out that when this thread started, it was not in The Super Sensitive Section. I, and likely most other posters, were not responding to a self-identified Super Sensitive. Never did he identify as Super Sensitive.

    I am sorry. Sometimes, on a public forum, stuff like this happens. I know that there are a lot of good places for Celiacs to eat in Mass. I know several that live or have visited there. Use the Find me gluten free site to get some suggestions. Look at the ones with lots of good reviews or even newer ones with only a couple of very recent reviews. You...

    I think you miss understand me, and probably gemini, too. I would eat in a place she has eaten. I don't believe she told any one that she would, or they should, eat at every place listed on Find Me gluten-free. It is just a tool to help you find places to go and places to not go. I read the reviews. If they have had good reviews for gluten-free for...

    I assumed from something you posted that you knew you were having Celiac issues because your antibodies were still high? Or you had a repeat endo and they found Celiac damage? that was what made me think you were talking refractory .

    I think we wanted you to know why you don't need a " certified gluten-free coffee". Just to make life easier Ok -brand's I have used & not been glutened. - k- cups - green mtn, Kirkland, donut shop , Roastarie ground or bean- Starbucks, Caribou, kirkland (Costco) , roasterie, and several I don't remember the name of. Never found an actual...

    I have known Gemini for many years - I would eat anywhere she told me was safe.

    You must ingest gluten to get a Celiac reaction . The gluten protein molecule is too large to absorb thru the skin
  11. kareng
    I think that it can take a while to "balance" everything out. And as we heal, how much fat, sugar, fiber, etc we can tolerate or need can change. Even so, I find that maybe my GI system is a little more "delicate" that other peoples and more sensitive to too much fat or sugar or fiber.

    I am not even sure why you are asking about coffee. if the docs think you may have Refractory Celiac - I don't think coffee is allowed on the Gluten Elimination Diet (Fasano Diet). Most doctors want you to try that for 6 -8 weeks (if I remember the time frame correctly) before going to steroids or whatever the next step is. It usually "cures" the supposedly...

    Just because they don't spend the extra money to test a naturally gluten-free food - like applesauce, doesn't mean they believe it contains more than 20 ppm. If something is "certified" gluten-free, it does not mean that some certifying group does inspections or testing of the foods. Its more of an agreement a company makes with a certifying organization...

    I think you should ask the companies. I am guessing it is because they are not testing the applesauce, for instance. It would add to the cost for everyone, even the people who don't care about the gluten-free label. And may be a "legal" cinsideration Also, the shared facility is a voluntary statement.
  15. kareng
    Lots of companies make "naturally gluten free" foods and nothing that isn't. An apple sauce factory isn't going to make bread..... You can always all to see what they are talking about in regard to shred facility. You might find it isn't what you think.

    What she said! and gluten isn't the " cause" of Celiac. They are trying to find what causes the Celiac gene to be " turned on" and are finding several possibilities, including a common virus. " gluten" is the term most commonly used for the actual proteins in wheat, rye and barley that cause an antibody reaction in poeple with Celiac disease...

    She is in the UK. Probably doesn't have the same brands. Also, the laws are a bit different than in the US.
  18. kareng
    I guess this isn't plain rice? You might check with your Celiac association web page. I think that there is a law that all gluten must be clearly labelled? So it must say "wheat"
  19. kareng
    So , like I said before - gluten isn't lurking in her body. So "detox" doesn't really apply. It can take months for antibodies to lower. In fact, there was a study that found that, even gluten-free, for a couple of weeks, the antibodies might rise. So, you can treat symptoms with things like Pepto Bismol or Ibuprophen.

    Gluten is like any other food - in a day or two it has made its way through your system. did you take your kids off gluten without testing them for Celiac?

    Its called an open face sandwich! You could use 2 pieces of toast and pile stuff on top. Stick a little lettuce/spinach on top. Or a bread salad - salad and sandwich ingredients on top of bread or with big toasted bread cubes on top.

    Love it!

    maltodextrin and dextrin should be fine. I eat Frito products that are labelled gluten-free and ones with no gluten ingredients with no issues. Open Original Shared Link "The ingredient “maltodextrin” in FDA-regulated food is considered gluten-free if the ingredient list and/or the “Contains” statement do not include the wor...

    You need a small business lawyer. I know it costs money but you seem very confused about the legalities. If you have your company set up as if it belongs to someone else - then it belongs to that person - not you. If I were that family member - I would not want to be legally responsible, as the owner, for "your" company. But they can take money out or...

    You are responding, rather rudely, to someone from 2011. In 6 years products may have changed. However, the poster is correct that wheat starch is seldom used. If a person is worried about a medication they can call the company and inquire. You do not seem to have any actual info from Bayer to share. This appears to be your own assumptions. Even...
