psawyer got a reaction from Scott Adams in Please help, is this Celiac?
Hello, and welcome to our community.
All of the symptoms you mentioned are consistent with celiac disease, although each can have other causes. I saw myself in a lot of what you said. I began seeing symptoms that I know now were... -
psawyer got a reaction from CharM in Antique China safe?
Hi, and welcome.
If they do not have cracks, which would allow gluten to be trapped, wash them thoroughly and you will be fine.

psawyer got a reaction from Scott Adams in are you going to take the vaccine
I have had my first dose. As I see it, the risks of an adverse reaction to any of the vaccines are single-digit out of millions of doses. COVID-19 kills in rates measured in the per-thousand. No brainer to me. GET VACCINATED!

99.9 per cent do not die. But, many who live through COVID-19 suffer permanent damage to their organs, including loss of lung capacity, heart damage, and permanent neurological damage.

psawyer got a reaction from Scott Adams in Equate Stool Softeners
So, does it actually contain gluten, or is it just "not gluten-free?' "Not gluten-free" is often a response dictated by corporate legal departments to avoid making a claim that they aren't prepared to stand behind.

Welcome to the community.
I can't say for sure, but Manulife is my insurer and under my plan this would probably be covered. Call them and ask. The number on my card is 1-877-261-8222. You do need to be eating gluten for the a... -

psawyer got a reaction from Scott Adams in Celiac and Type 2 Diabetes
I have celiac disease and type 1 diabetes. Both are autoimmune diseases, and they tend to occur together. There is statistical evidence of concurrency, but no understanding about a common cause. That said, if you have type 2 diabetes... -

You have gotten some great advice on this and other posts. I do have one thing to add. You mention in another thread that you are eating lactose free ice cream and cottage cheese. You may want to drop all dairy until you are doing a bit... -

Immodium does not contain gluten, and many of us keep it handy.

psawyer got a reaction from cristiana in Do Certified Gluten Free foods still bother you?
Oats are a problem for some people with celiac disease. Commercial oats are often contaminated with wheat, so be careful. I am able to eat pure oats without a problem. Pure oats from safe sources will be identified as such, but various... -
psawyer got a reaction from Scott Adams in Elaine
"Best before" means what is says. After that date, the product may fade in flavour or other sensory matters. It certainly does not mean unsafe to eat. But use common sense. Dry goods like buckwheat or rice have a very long shelf life.... -
psawyer reacted to ravenwoodglass in Covid 19 and gluten-free product shortage
I had to get just a couple things yesterday and while my favorite bread was very low in stock gluten-free pastas and other items were in good supply. The rest of the store was cleaned out of meats, eggs, and of course paper goods like... -
psawyer reacted to Scott Adams in Campbell’s skillet sauces
@cyclinglady is correct here that if it doesn't include "wheat" as an allergen the modified food starch is made from corn, but I just want to point out that a survey was done years ago and there are only a handful of very large companies... -

Walmart does carry gluten-free condensed soups and they seem pretty good:

psawyer got a reaction from squirmingitch in McDonald's fries and hash browns
That point has been debated here since 2006. The fries themselves do not contain wheat. A wheat derivative is used in the flavoring that is then added to the oil in which they are partially fried at the factory. There was no detectable... -
psawyer reacted to Scott Adams in Connection Between Grapes And Gluten?
PS - For years, and to this day, MANY medical doctors tell people with a negative biopsy who may have gluten sensitivity to continue to eat gluten and that they are fine. Even though non-celiac wheat sensitivity/gluten sensitivity has... -

Five years later, this is still true. General Mills shares this label policy with Unilever and Kraft, among others. Product formulas may have changed, but the policy regarding clear disclosure of any gluten has not. ALWAYS READ LABELS... -

psawyer reacted to kareng in Gluten Free Coffee
Exactly! And if they are putting unlabeled wheat in coffee.......I hope it's a very large fine from the FDA. I would think the recall alone would make coffee drinkers not want the coffee ( even if they can have wheat).
