  1. I normally don't watch the Today Show because I don't like where they stand on issues but I was bored and watched the other day. I was very disappointed in Dr Sniderman saying that sometime gluten can be reintroduced. Maybe she was talking about wheat allergies and not Celiac but it shouldn't have been put out there in my opinion. It does more harm than good for all of us.

  2. I am new too and it is true that keeping it simple with simple foods is the best advice but since I am not one to put my life on hold I am not following that advice all the time. My life saver has been the book Gluten Free Grocery shopping Guide by Matison. You can find it on line. I take it every time I shop. It has a huge list of everyday items that are gluten free. They took the time to consult manufactures to see which gluten free products they have. I also like Bisquick's gluten free pancake and baking mix.

  3. I know I am new to this but I think people sometimes react stronger than others to gluten so it is an individual thing. I know though because I don't like having to wash my hands everytime I put something on my face that I am going to change companies for makeup. A company called Beauty Control that sells on line has makeup and cleansers labeled gluten free. I haven't looked for shampoo yet with this company.

  4. I'm new too and all I can tell you is READ, READ and READ some more. Felt like I spent the day in Krogers shoppping. Already made a boo hoo by buying Van's gluten-free waffle. You have to read everything. Ate one this am and my stomach is killing me. I got off diary because of a yeast infection that took over my body first. Really haven't missed it at all. We have eaten at Outback a couple of times and did just fine. They have a gluten-free Menu.

    Good Luck.

    I still know the feeling of shopping taking forever but it is getting better. I have Van's gluten-free waffles and the kind I have says it is also lactose free. Maybe you got the wrong kind. I can't wait to try Outback. PFChang's is good for their gluten-free menu too.

  5. Thanks a lot, very helpful. I took away lactose and I am feeling better so I am hoping that I can still use Soy. I really miss my Starbucks and can use this imformation to still enjoy some things. I thought for sure that the frapachinos were out. Dose anyone know how many Celiacs are able to back on lactose after they heal or is it usually a lifetime problem.

  6. I have heard that the only certain way to diagnose Celiac is with a biopsy of the small intestine that is done with an endoscopy but I don't think doctors do this on a routine basis. I was diagnosed by biopsy but had it done for an unrelated problem. I guess in a way I feel blessed that I was "accidently" diagnosed because in spite of symptoms I thought it was just old age coming on.

  7. Thanks for your reply. I bought Silky Soy and it says it is gluten free but I will have to call Starbucks to see if that is what they use. My question now is that people have posted that they had to take soy and corn out of their diet. Does that mean Soy milk? Does it mean corn syrup. I am not sure how to look for the additional ingredience. I am hoping I get by with just taking the lactose out. Since I am still having some symptoms all the time I am not sure how to tell if I am even on the right track.

    I went to Starbucks and they use their own brand of Vanilla Soy milk. It didn't say gluten free on it. I guess I will have to call them.

  8. I am a new celiac. I was diagnosed by endoscopy 3 weeks ago. I am still having bloating. How long before things get better and where do I start. I think I discovered that I am lactose intolerant yesterday so I brought Lactaid milk and then today I got Silk Soymilk. Someone just wrote that it is not gluten free but in the Gluten-free Grocery Shopping Guide it says that it is. I ordered a Soy milk hot latte at Starbucks today. Is that not gluten free? I had no flavor added. I am trying hard to be gluten free and now lactose free.
