    What test did you have done? Gliadin is one of the proteins that makes up gluten in certain grains--wheat, barley, and rye (and sometimes oats are included although the protein is a slightly different one). We would probably use gluten and gliadin interchangablely here. Not sure how you could be intolerant of gliadin and not gluten unless you are thinking...

    Your story in your first post could have been written by me, except I'm 31 and 19 months gluten free now. Without vitamins your recovery will be much slower than you want. The damage did not happen overnight so it won't be reversed in just a few months, especially since you body is absorbing fewer vitamins and minerals from your food if it's damaged. Keep...

    Happy belated Birthday to you! The cake is beautiful! You realy should write a cookbook or something.

    You mentioned you use Pepto Bismol. I just wanted to mention that Pepto works great for me when I have heartburn or a stomach ache BUT it tends to make me constipated and have harder stools (again great for D not so great if you tend towards C). So if you are taking it frequently it could be messign with your system too. I also agree with the PP advice...

    Hi Nannu, You've come to the right place. Many parents here have had similar problems and found they needed to get more strict. In order to help you better, a few questions: What are you feeding your daughter on a regular basis? Did you make your home gluten-free or is there still gluten around? Does your daughter understand that she can't eat gluten...

    Uno's has been one of the few places I can eat without a problem. It's been a while since I tried their gluten-free pizza but I thought they only had pepperoni and cheese as gluten-free options. Was the pizza on a very thin crust or was it a thick crust? The gluten-free pizza is very thin.

    This is very similar to how I have to live to avoid wheat contact. I don't have anaphylaxis to wheat but I break out in hives when I get it on my skin, so I know when my skin has come in contact. When I go into church I make sure my hands are full so I don't have to shake hands with the door greeter. I do shake hands during the meet and greet time during...

    If it is a scratched non-stick skillet then traces of gluten can be stuck in the scrathes. Cast iron is pourous and also could have gluten in the coating. The same thing goes for anything with small holes or plastic with scrathes or wooden or anything difficult to clean (old cutting boards, collander, toaster). If your skillet is cast iron you can clean...

    Thank you for sharing Shauna.

    Do you know if you can eat gluten-free oats without symptoms? BRM processes all their gluten-free flours in a dedicated gluten-free facility, however they do have gluten-free oats in that facility. For the small percentage of people that have adverse reactiosn to even gluten-free oats, BRM products can also be problematic. There are at least 3 of us on...

    Check out the website glutenfreeregistry.com they list restuarants with gluten-free menus and have reviews. You can also find a lot of places by searching. If you are goign to be in the DC area I hear there is a ton of gluten-free restaurnats there. You might also want to scope out where the nearest whole foods or Trader Joes store is before you go...

    Yes, this is really common to not be able to digest beans, nuts and raw veggies in the beginning. Your system is just really sensitve right now. The good news is once you heal you should be able to reintroduce those foods. I could not eat any raw veggies except a few carrots for the first few months and the only legumes I tolerated were chickpeas (in the...

    In my experience, yes it can.

    I would suspect the Hamburger Helper. General Mills recently pulled the gluten free label from the product because of processing concerns: Open Original Shared Link Also, did you happen to make it in an old srcathed non-stick skillet or cast iron pan previously used for gluten? Also a good idea to get your own PB And other condiments people spread...

    Good golly, you are right, and I do apologize for straying, but I think you are splitting hairs a little here. The title is "chick-fil-a change". My mistake for thinking any comments about chick-fil-a were ok. My comments included comments about the oil change. I will try to stay more on topic in the future. Richard's comments complaining about my comments...

    That's so true-- the blood test are not 100%. I have delevoped an anaphylactic reaction to milk so bad I have to carry an epipen, yet when I did the allergy tests and blood test milk did NOT show up as an allergy. Nevertheless my allergist says to not eat milk products and if I want to retest in the future to see if I can eat it again I have to go into...

    What country are you in? Perhaps there is somethign being lost in language translation. There is allergy to the gluten grains (wheat, barely, rye) and there is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. These are two different things. Celiac disease is an auto-immune reaction, not the same thing as an allergy. It would be good if you can get your tests to...

    Thank you! It had not occurred to me to just leave it out. I thought I would need somethign else salty to replace that fish sauce (I imagine it is salty anyway, haven't tried it myself). Please let me know how yours turns out if you make it.
  20. GlutenFreeManna
    I am fairly certain I have both. I have no formal testing to "prove" my gluten intolerance but I react to barley malt and have a wheat allergy as well (confirmed by IgE blood tests). I have a theory that those with allergies are more likely to be super sensitive.

    If this is true that it is GREAT NEWS for those of us worried about cc! If the chicken and fries are made with different types of oil then there is even LESS chance that they would accidently fry breaded things in the same oil as the fries. I might just go try Ckick-fil-a fries again! Thanks for the hope! (Sorry it's not good news for the peanut allery...

    I kept getting sick despite going 99% processed food free. I was eating vegetables, oragnic meat, fruit, olive oil, kosher salt, and spices and nothing else for a month. I traced back glutenings to spices I had used when still baking with flour, cooking utensils I had not gotten rid of from pre-gluten-free, driving my car after my husband had eaten gluteny...

    The last time I checked the board rules did not say I could only comment in the super sensitive area if I'm super sensitive. I did say that I could eat the salads there without incident prior to my dairy allergy. Perhaps that comment will help someone else that is sensitive and wants to eat out on occaision. Or perhaps it will help someone that doesn't...

    I know many parents of peanut-allergic kids that refused to take their kids to Chick-fil-a because of the peanut oil. Even though oil is not supposed to cause severe allergic reactions, they were not taking any chances. I'm sure this change is mainly to drum up more business from the allergic community. Very few people are allergic to Canola oil. ...

    Are you saying you had gluten toast and gluten-free bread in the same week and you want to know which one caused you symptoms? Symptoms of glutening for someone gltuen sensitive can appear up to three days later. So it's impossible to say. At the same time, going gluten free is not a switch you turn off and suddenly you are better. For most people it's...
