I've been reading how CC is an issue when bbq'ing. When i've been bbq'ing this summer, i've been making sure to scrape the grill off really well before putting my meat on the bbq, than make sure nothing else is touching my meat and make sure no bread is around it. I also use my own flipper for my meat. Is that still not good enough? How can I be sure the...

ARCHIVED Biggest Obstacle In Coping With celiac disease
Canadian Girl replied to Mr.GF's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
" Another was at a conference, workshop for my job. They provided lunch and it was club sandwiches. I took off all of the bread and cut up the filling like a salad. Two other people watched me doing it and said. "What a great idea, we don't need all of these carbs." They all did it too." I have a question about this statement, if you take the filling out... -
Hi there, I have a question regarding things that are deep fried. I read that we cannot eat anything that has been deep fried in shared oil, like if fries are fried in same fryer as chicken nuggets and such.. but have also been told that the heat in the oil will kill the gluten on the fries.. and I was at a restaurant the other day and wanted yam fries, but...

ARCHIVED Gluten Reaction Decreasing?
Canadian Girl replied to SGWhiskers's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This is what i haven't been able to get a clear answer on.. if you still eat something but don't react from it, it still causes damage, and wht will this end u doing?? Like i know that Celaic's are at a 10% greater risk to getting cancer, but that's just from being Celiac not from eating gluten right? Like if you eat gluten sometimes but don't react that... -
Hey everyone, been away for a while but I'm back! I have a question, I read in a past post that we can eat items that are manufactured in a factory that says "produced in a factory that also produces wheat...etc.." as long as it doesn't bother us.. However, I don't understand something. Even if it doesn't bother us or give us symptoms.. it could still be...

ARCHIVED Very Confused About Whey And Dextrose Labeled On gluten-free Products
Canadian Girl replied to virginiagl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
ok that helps thx, however, if we eat things that are made in a shared facility but don't react, we could still be damaging our intestine just not feeling it, correct?? that's what i don't get.. i've been avoiding things that say made in shared facilities.. -
Any good advice on buying a bread machine???

Thanks so much for the replies! The pain is on the left side of my backonly, below my shoulder blade but above my hip. So should i cut out dairy, soy, and nightshade veggies at the same time? potatos are nightshade, so does that mean i have to cut out potato chips too? this is so confusing. why only the one side of my back tho? i've been very careful so don...

I was wondering if anybody knows anything about diet pills? i am going away in 2 months and would like to lose a few pounds, but would diet pills further damage my intestine as i am healing? or will it be okay?? I mean I know they aren't good for you to begin with, but will they cause any further damage?
