    And how on earth are they going to prove who ate a slice of bread? Especially if you can prove gluten bread is bought for the non-celiacs?? Oh, Canada... you are a pain in my bum... I don't even qualify because I am "only" gluten intolerant and only proven through my own trial and error. At least I don't have THAT headache to deal with.

    What you do is openly pick your nose in front of them, wipe it off on your shirt then stick your finger in the dip and say, "What... you said stuff can't be transferred in this manner. It's only a little bit of booger and I wiped it off, there's no contamination in the dip- go on... eat it!"

    Just thought I'd bring to everyone's attention (if it hasn't been already) the New Year, New You Challenge being held at Open Original Shared Link The challenge is to submit gluten free recipe for the chance to win an ipod. If not for the contest, then go and have a look at the recipes already posted, some are pretty tasty sounding! It is shamefully...

    I felt a difference after just two weeks of avoiding the obvious gluten sources. Then once I talked to someone about the gluten problem, I avoided the less obvious sources and felt an INTENSE difference after about a month. I suffer with head issues before gut issues.

    I think it might be better still to just use half the mix and half the rest of the ingredients. If not then I think that freezing the uncooked dough will help it to keep for longer.

    Okay, so about 3 weeks ago me and my fiance of 7 years broke up. We are still living together (financial reasons). I have recently decided to try eating oatmeal (not the instant premix- normal oats "100% oats"). I seem to be doing fine in terms of gut but I am also feeling rather depressed and like I want to cry a lot. Is it an effect of possible CC or...

    When I was figuring out my own gluten intolerance I found that cutting out obvious gluten was enough to see improvements in my symptoms but they didn't clear completely. Once I got some advice from here and other bits and pieces on the internet- I completely stopped all gluten for a month and saw a lot of improvement. Last month I started to see how much...

    Most of the info needed will be found on this website but here are a two places that are simple to give her. Open Original Shared Link disease.php /celiac-disease/forbidden-gluten-food-list-unsafe-ingredients-r182/ Open Original Shared Link was also quite useful to me when I was figuring out my own problems.

    Ha Ha. That was my exact feeling. Disappointment that it is not properly diagnosed. So now I get to answer people with- I just feel better not eating gluten so I don't, most of the time it can't be diagnosed properly anyway and you have to be severely far gone for them to catch it- so I'm taking a shortcut and feeling way better and living my life from...

    All the advice the others have given you is great. I can give you some advice for eating at school though (I work in a daycare). The tables in kindergartens and daycares are used for both eating and playing. That means the playdoh is used on the eating surface and trust me- it does not wash off well. So, I suggest you get him his very own place mat for...

    Their gluten free pizza isn't all that bad, I've only had it once. The gluten-free pizza bread soaks up a lot of the pizza sauce so it looks kinda dry but it isn't. Next time though I am going to ask for extra sauce because that's how I like it.

    My grocery store has a health food section where I can find the gluten free labeled goods. Including some gluten free pasta. However, right beside the pasta is bags of organic wheat flour, wheat gluten and everything else under the sun we can't be having. The bag of VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN actually has the "benefits" of wheat gluten on the label. So do not trust...

    I always imagined it would be easier to swallow the whole gluten free diet idea if I had doctor confirmed celiac's disease. Unfortunately, nope, negative blood tests and a swift "it would be a waste of time to do a biopsy" from the doctor. I know your frustration and have had a hard time convincing myself that it's not all in my head. Luckily, my fiancee...

    so, what you are saying is that the amazing Betty Crocker does gluten free and does it well??? Now, I have a mission! Hunt down this elusive gluten free Betty Crocker!!!

    Many people are gluten sensitive and get negative results to every test. Your real results will come from going gluten free for a while to see if you get any improvements. I have negative results to the celiac panel except for low vitamin D and iron- apparently these are common ones to be low in celiac patients (according to what others have said on here...

    My curtains are drawn and all I can hear is an eerie rendition of a children's bedtime song. I forget the name but it's very common - not rock a bye baby. The music is moving slowly down the block and around the corner. I know full well it's the icecream truck but all I can think is "Mobile Gluten Roulette Wheel" with creepy horror movie music and the scariest...

    Welcome to my area! (Calgary- I have no idea about Lethbridge but I'm sure the grocery stores will be similar) I'm still quite new to gluten free so I'm still finding out more and more places to eat gluten free and to buy gluten free items. This is what I've learned of so far. Groceries- Safeway and Superstore (I have still to check out Co-op and Sobeys...

    ARCHIVED Getting Tested For Celiacs

    Coinkey replied to apac's topic in Doctors

    In my own recent experience, it was not worth eating gluten again to get tested- purely because it was negative and the pain was awful. You could try a proper elimination diet to try and find another culprit- many others on here are sensitive to milk and soy as well as gluten. Your off and on issues could also be due to cross contamination. For me having...

    In my brief experience with the walk in clinic doctor, I told rather than asked. I said- look, these are my symptoms- I feel better when I don't eat gluten so do some tests for that. (not in those words but that's the gist of it- and frankly, he didn't respond much but handed me the sheet to take to the lab for tests without saying that it was indeed a...

    So, I got my lab results back. The first walk-in doctor I saw ordered a Celiac panel, he didn't talk much but at least he listened and considered what i said. then he went on holiday and won't be back till the end of the summer. My results came back and they called me to go in and discuss the results. New doctor, he talks more and listens less. My...

    I found that taking ibuprofen helps with reducing some of the inflammation and redbull helps to reduce the brain fog. Taking a multivitamin seems to help smooth out my nerves (I'm getting testing done for vitamin deficiencies- hopefully then I'll know how much to take to prevent it). I find a shot of something helps knock me out to sleep if I can't sleep...

    kinnikinnick sells many breads in the frozen health food section, they also do many different types of bread mixes (which are better in my opinion). Open Original Shared Link (loads of other products there). Celimix also has premixes of cakes and breads In the asian section of the grocery store, you can find rice crackers, vermicelli and a few other labelled...

    Beware the sausages: many will contain rusk as a filler always double check. From what I've read on here and a few other places, many European countries are much further ahead with Celiac disease than the western world. Testing by 2 in Italy and Sweden is what I've heard, compared to having to basically hold the doc at knife point here for testing after...

    HAHA! I left for England when I was 18- they serve ALOT of gluteney products. I lived there for 4 years. So when I left, I was super skinny, when I came back my mother was CONVINCED I was pregnant. I would assure her NOPE not pregnant. Now I live in the same province as her. I see her every few months and she is still greets me with the look of ...
