    I agree with Karen. Personally I'd be more worried about anyone's kitchen other than my own. I don't know if anyone has called the company or not (or why that would even matter since they are crystal clear about their labeling). I'd go with the ingredient list on the bottle.

    ARCHIVED Gastrisis

    sa1937 replied to kristen34's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Welcome, Kristen! Do you mean gastritis? I had gastritis (inflammation), which showed up when my GI doctor did the endoscopy/biopsy. It was news to me as I never had vomiting or any pain from it. What kind of meds did your doctor prescribe?

    Welcome, Jenny! I think you have a very smart doctor! You do need to continue eating gluten until your endoscopy if you are hoping for a diagnosis for celiac...if you go gluten-free now, you may have healed enough that the dr. can't see any damage or the biopsies will come back negative (even consuming gluten, the biopsies could come back negative...

    Thankfully you don't have it! Although if I had to choose a disease, this is a pretty good one to have. Since your father has it, it definitely increases your chance of getting it some time in your lifetime...like a 1 in 22 chance. I think my late mother had it (undiagnosed), I have it and my adult daughter was diagnosed in Aug., 2010.

    Syl, just want you to know what an absolute gift you are to us newbies! I always imagine you as our "mama bear", with virtual hugs, a glass of warm almond milk and gluten-free cookies, and sound, sensible advice. Thank you soooo much for all you give to this community!

    Welcome to the forum! Unless he has an intolerance to gluten, he should be able to go back and forth between consuming gluten and eating gluten-free without any problem. If he's showing signs of celiac, perhaps he should be tested although it may come back negative if he's eating gluten-free a good bit of the time. It sounds like his body is trying to...

    Welcome to the forum! If your father has celiac, your risk and your future children's risk is definitely greater. Check out these Open Original Shared Link from the U of Chicago Celiac Disease Center.

    ARCHIVED Diagnosed...now What?

    sa1937 replied to Bubba's Mom's topic in Doctors

    I just thought of some books you may find helpful and, of course, ask all the questions you want here on the forum. Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic by Dr. Peter Green Living Gluten-Free for Dummies by Danna Korn The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten-Free: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed by Jules Shepard

    ARCHIVED Diagnosed...now What?

    sa1937 replied to Bubba's Mom's topic in Doctors

    Welcome to the club! Glad you proved you're not a neurotic hypochondriac!!! It's pretty common not to get much, if any, guidance from doctors. After you've been here awhile, you'll probably know more than they do! Maybe you already do. You should get copies of all your test results and stick them in a folder so you can refer back to them....

    Frankly I would have to see that to believe it. So I doubt it's true if they are making gluten-free food. If you could find your source, it would be helpful. Or name the product and someone has probably had experience with it. There are a lot of myths floating around. Oh, and welcome to the forum!

    Marc, for some of us (that means me) gluten-free bread baking is one of the great mysteries of the universe! The reason I bought my mixer is that I felt it would be more versatile than a bread machine. And I don't have room for both. That said, I don't have any experience with a bread machine so can't compare the messes between the two of them. I'd...

    Welcome! Both dextrose and maltodextrin are safe to consume on a gluten-free diet. However, some people do have problems with artificial sweeteners. I simply don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners...or I should say, the after taste.

    I have no problem with Coke...don't care much for Pepsi. Personal choice, I guess. And I'm fine with most any old ginger ale.

    I slice the whole loaf and then put two pieces in cheap foldover sandwich bags. Then those bags are put in a Ziploc freezer bag and frozen. It's easy then to take out two pieces at a time for a sandwich. That seems to work for me.
  16. sa1937
    Yes, I do remember you, Marc! I bought a KitchenAid stand mixer instead of a bread machine so I can't help you there. There have been some recent threads on bread machines so you might want to use the google search button near the top right corner of your screen and see if you can pull up some of those posts.

    I agree with Gemini. I have my hair highlighted at a salon (can't stand the blonde color it is naturally), get manicures and acrylic overlays on my nails and use Revlon foundation. If it's possible that anything would be susceptible to being put in your mouth (think hand cream and lipstick), then yes, it should be gluten-free.

    Sorry you haven't had a response yet. I have eaten Kozy Shack pudding but simply don't know if they're made in a gluten-free facility or not. I think with any company and the numerous ingredients they buy, the potential for CC exists regardless of whether it's a gluten-free facility.

    ARCHIVED Healing!

    sa1937 replied to WinterSong's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Fantastic, Jessica! It's good to know all the effort you are putting into being gluten-free, it's certainly well worth it.

    The answer is NO. If they don't have a problem with gluten, they should not have a problem eliminating it and then later adding it back in.

    I think this is your opportunity to go it since she is still eating gluten. It at a later time you would want it done, she would have to do a gluten challenge. For adults that means eating 3 to 4 slices of bread for 3 months. Not a pleasant situation for most people considering it could still come in with a false negative. Let us know how it turns out...

    Welcome to the forum, Nicole! I simply can't imagine putting your son back on gluten when he has been doing so well for the past two years being gluten-free. As a parent (although my children are grown) I couldn't bear seeing my child be sick just to get an official diagnosis...and even then, it's iffy if he would get a positive celiac panel. For adults...

    I think chicken would normally be injected with a salt/water solution (like a brine) to make it more moist and tender. Sometimes I do buy Perdue. List of gluten-free products Open Original Shared Link.

    While genetic testing might be interesting, it is by no means diagnostic. There are people here who do not have the classic celiac genes but do indeed have celiac. With your daughter's positive DGP test results, I'd say she has it. The next step would certainly be an endoscopy/biopsy if you're inclined to go that route. It's entirely possible to have...
