    I know this topic is ongoing. Has anyone gotten info from the company as to what the parts per million are? I have eaten the gluten-free burrito's lately and have noticed some extra trips to the loo. I usually stay away from her stuff due to bad things I have heard, but I guess now that I am feeling much better I got a little lazy having to cook for lunch...

    Klonapin is also a benzo drug like Xanax but it is more effective for longer term use. Xanax can cause very bad rebound anxiety so you wind up having to take it every 6 hours indefinitely or you will get awful rebound anxiety worse than the initial anxiety. Xanax works for the night terrors and panic attacks, but you really don't want to use it more...

    This was in the email I received. It sounds like the bag listed wheat but was not actually made with it? Why would the company allow product to be placed into old packages if in fact there was no wheat in there?: 'Thank you for writing to us. The wheat flour was removed from Doritos Nacho Cheese earlier this year. There is still older packaging being...

    thank you. I think its a risk in the final analysis. I might not get a significant amount of gluten, but it all adds up each day. Thanks for all the input...

    I have stayed away from them since my dx 2 years ago, but I remember reading somewhere (perhaps this site?) that they were ok. There is nothing in the ingredients list on the large bags to indicate any gluten ingredients, though I was not aware that they were produced on lines that share gluten. THAT would def be a no-no and if it had said that on the package...

    This was my second small bag of doritos I purchased this week. Just got a craving for them for some reason but didnt want to buy a large bag. Freaked out when I saw wheat flour listed but there isnt any in the large bags. whats going on with that? No wonder have been in a fog, anxious, going to the bathroom more frequently.... argghhh.. this sucks!!!

    Osborne, from the gluten free society, is not only saying that corn is bad, he is saying that ALL grains are bad, including rice, quinoa, etc. I get his updates all the time but he charges a heck of a lot of money to join his Gluten Warrior club. I kinda resent that because he is making alot of money off of what he says the medical community is not telling...

    ARCHIVED Panera Bread

    quincy posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Does anyone know about eating the salads at Panera? I have researched and gotten different opinions. One site says their chicken is marinated with a gluten containing substance etc. I make sure they change their gloves before they handle my food but I am not sure about the chicken...

    what you describe is very similar to what I went through. My anxiety manifested as an intense social anxiet/shyness and I lost alot of weight and would not leave my house except at night. Having never experienced anything like that before, I began to fear that I was dying because I had lost so much weight. I got through the first episode with the use of ssri...

    I had what you describe for several months maybe 6 mos after going gluten free. My guess is the throbbing pain in my right back was duodenitis? I never got an answer from any doctors about it but I assume inflammation in the intestine. For me it was very uncomfortable because I sleep on my right side and it felt like something was always "pulling" on my gut...

    yes that is interesting. I had low ferritin levels when I first was diagnosed

    Its been awhile since I posted on this thread, so maybe someone will pick up on it. My recent labs showed my TSH down to 2, and if based on how i feel is an indicator, the thyroid supplement I was taking has worked. I don't feel as tired anymore, my weight is down to a more comfortable and healthy range for me and I don't feel as depressed or low as I used...

    yes it is one of the symptoms of ceiac. I used to get them in my throat too. The silver nitrate stings for sure, but its worth the momentary pain to just have it gone. My dentist uses an acid and that hurts like heck but gone completely right away. you should begin to notice alot of improvement. I got rid of all product with SLS including shampoos. be...

    wow, sorry to hear about the suffering you have gone through. I completely relate as I am sure many of us can. I suffered from canker sores since childhood and for awhile I was going to my GP once a month and he would burn them off with silver nitrate. Of course he never put all my symptoms together to see if I was gluten intolerant. So I did alot of...

    no need to apologize I was not offended. I just saw this listed and thought I could get others to respond if anyone had a bad experience with the beef broth. again, it is not listed on their site as being gluten free, so there must be an offending ingredient that I will have to investigate with them. if any readers out there have had a similar experience...
  17. quincy
    yes i am aware this an old thread. I always read labels, however, there is nothing on their beef broth label that would indicate it was not gluten-free. Their web site has both us and canada product lists and this link I provided is from the US dated Feb 2012.

    the link to swanson's list of gluten free items OMITS their canned beef broth!! I just got violently ill from eating lentil soup made with it, though my pocket guide from Columbia Med Ctr lists swanson's broth as gluten-free. here is the link to the website: Open Original Shared Link

    Hey GFinDC, do you avoid all restaurants? I have been eating out lately and kind of wondering if I am taking too many risks now that I have 2 year under my belt. lately, I was visiting Organic stores that have hot/cold food in the back and I finally had to stop after really questioning their food preparers. They didn't use ANY prevention measures and...

    sorry to hear you are in distress, but its a good thing you finally found out. Did you have a biopsy? if so, how bad was the villous atrophy? At 3 months, I am sorry to say, your healing is not even in the early stages yet. Your body is just reeling now from the gluten withdrawal which you will get from eating MOST processed foods, even stuff like...

    I always heard of women complaining of thyroid problems so maybe they just don't want to bother unless the number is above the "normal" range. Every time I would take the testosterone test the number would come back lower and lower, and I have to wonder how low does it have to be before they suggest something is wrong.... I really think these doctors think...

    I am wondering why my TSH has consistently been 3.47 and the endocrinologist NEVER said there was anything wrong with that number?? Is it because I am a male? it sounds like a stupid rhetorical question, but I am stumped. In fact, NONE of my doctors, GI, or GP ever said anything about it. The only one who raised a flag was my integrated medicine internist...

    I have read that people suffering with bladder problems should avoid B6, so lately I have not been taking anything with b6 but getting it from foods I eat. People with IC are very familiar with this I imagine. I decided to eliminate the b6 supplements for this reason.

    I have switched off of most carbs to meats, veggies, some fruits etc. Due to my bladder problems I don't eat any citrus fruits but I will have blueberries in a smoothie etc. sometimes melon. I eat wild salmon several times a week, talapia, eggs once in a while and a slice or two of non-cured bacon with breakfast or lunch for the feeling of fullness. So far...

    thanks for your information, it seems my doctor (functional medicine) mentioned what you mentioned here about ratios. My testosterone has gone steadily down over the last several months. I had gained alot of weight and my bone density is low, plus I have low ferritin. my doctor gave me Calcium D-Glucarate and Thyroid Synergy by a company called Designs...
