It's probably not cross contamination. It's probably Whey. Many people diagnosed with gluten intolerance or celiac also cross react to Whey. I do, and I found out because I was reacting to things like ice cream and some cheeses, but not milk or yogurt. I read up on it and asked around and found out that anything with Whey listed in the first few ingredients...

Tapioca for me. I've also heard that corn products are a big one as well.

Nausea is definitely one of my symptoms as well. You're not alone. And going gluten-free (and corn-free for me, as I am also intolerant to corn) mitigated my symptoms.

I have a question. Skylark, I think you answered it, but I want to clarify. Can a corn intolerance cause damage as severe as celiac disease? Is the scientific world aware of any other food product besides the types of prolamine in certain grains that make celiac's sick, that can produce the same kind of damage? I ask because I am intolerant to ...

It's not that cut and dry. Celiac and cancer in general are not correlated, however Celiac and certain types of cancer are. As I'm sure you know, being diagnosed with celiac disease means there is a cetain amount of damage done to the small intestine due to the lack of an enzyme to break down gluten. This damage to the intestine can lead to a 40% to...

Not necessarily! I found this out the hard way. I am from Ontario, Canada, so depending on where you are the ingredients could be different. Starbucks specifically doesn't post the ingredients in their flavoured syrups because they want the ability to change their ingredient lists. So, my rule of thumb - read the label. Ask them for the bottle of...

Oh, and mine is always on the left side too.

Hey, You're not alone, I have that pain too. I have had similar tests done, all negative, and I am also assuming it is celiac. I have been gluten free for about 2 months now, and it hasn't gone away yet. However, I did also figure out that I am tapioca intolerant a few weeks ago, so it may be a while longer for me. . . I hope your pain, and mine...

This is GREAT feedback. Thank you so much, all of you. I am VERY greatful for this forum - I would be very lost without it!

Hey, I have a question for those of you who have associated neurological symptoms with gluten intolerance. What is the time frame in which you experience neurological symptoms after consuming gluten? I have been gluten free for about 2 months, and recently discovered a tapioca intolerance as well. I was accidentally glutened yesterday, and today...

Skylark, thank you for the detailed information, I am one who likes to research these kind of things to learn everything I can. However it definitely doesn't look like English to me. Do you think you could define what DGP, EMA and TTG are, and why they matter? Can levels of these all be tested for, and if so, which is necessary and which are overkill...

Hey. I had the same problem about 2 years ago - I was in Chicago for a few days and was nervous about my food prospects. Depending on where you are, there is a Trader Joe's just off the Magnificent Mile. I ended up going there and stocking up on safe foods. Hopefully no matter where your hotel is, you will be close enough to get to a store which...

Hey, It is definitely possible for a gluten intolerance to cause neurological abnormalities. I've heard of several people having neurological symptoms, although they definitely vary. I'm not sure how old you are, but I think you mentioned you are still in school so I'm assuming you are younger than me. I'm a 25 year old female, and I have a similar...

Hey, Thank you very much for posting this. I've been eating mostly gluten free for about a year, but I am going fully and completely gluten free now. I'm realizing just how many things have gluten in them and the cross-contamination factor. . . Anyway, I'm disappointed that another fast-food joint is being removed from my "safe" list, but I'm glad...
