    You know, some Celiacs just can't tolerate even gluten-free oats. No matter how meticulous the company is, it will still make them sick. (Psst, I'm a Mainer too. )

    I was thinking about this and I'm wondering if you're confusing Silk with Rice Dream rice milk which bills itself as gluten-free but uses barley in the process.
  4. shopgirl
    Where did you read that Silk uses barley? They've made it pretty clear that they don't use any gluten ingredients in either their products or their plants. There are a lot of threads in the forum about Silk Soy milks like this one: Personally, I avoid soy because I don't like what it can do to a person's body

    I can't eat apples in the morning

    If the doggie is eating food with gluten in it, it's not a good idea to let him or her lick your face. That's one way to get glutened.

    My GI doctor said the same thing. A minimum six months to a year unless I was an exceptional case and I could expect to be normal again within 18 months to two years. Unfortunately, going on the gluten-free diet isn't like flicking a switch inside your body. It really can take a lot of time to heal. And sometimes it's so gradual, it's difficult to see...

    How about canned salmon? It has a lot more taste than tuna. Or sweet potatoes? I don't think it would fall under any of your sensitivities. It's not technically a potato.

    A couple weeks ago, I called GM because the new box of Kix I had bought tasted very different from the others I'd eaten. The woman I spoke to said it's because they had moved Kix to a new facility and they were running into some kinks with the recipe. I asked if that meant they were going to give it gluten-free status since and she said she didn't know at...

    ARCHIVED Envelopes?

    shopgirl replied to elk's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I think the envelope thing is more of a Celiac urban myth. It comes up a lot but has anyone ever reported getting sick from them? I've licked multiple envelopes from different sources

    Are you cooking with new pots and pans? Wooden and plastic spoons? Cookie sheets and other bakeware? How much processed food is she eating? Is any of it made on shared lines or facilities? How about personal products? Shampoo? Conditioner? Soap? Lotion? Lip balm? Makeup (depending on her age)? Is she in school yet? School is pretty much a crumb...

    I don't think KP is generally itchy. It's just there. I haven't had DH but I have had KP and it's never been itchy.

    Citric acid comes from citrus. It's gluten-free. Wow. Shows what I know. I always thought citric acid came from citrus fruit.

    Marc's right, you'd need to be eating a full-gluten for a few months for the endoscopy to be accurate. I'm not sure if the oats would be enough, although it's possible.

    A Celiac's responses to gluten get stronger once they cut it out. It isn't necessary to "feel ill" all the time to have Celiac Disease. Many Celiacs have no obvious symptoms and some never have any GI symptoms at all. It sounds like you actually did have a problem with gluten and you just didn't realize it until you cut it out. Once you reintroduced the gluten...

    Just give the rest of us fair warning in the thread title so we can appropriately prepare ourselves (i.e. removing food stuffs from mouth).
  18. shopgirl
    Yes, yes, and yes. I had hair loss

    Especially for those of us who read the forums over morning coffee. As for your little one, the sandy thing has definitely been mentioned here before in the Parents of Kids or Babies forum. Maybe a search for it if you haven't already? I know there are a couple other moms who have started threads on it in the Kids and Babies forum.

    Great news. When I do eat potato chips, these are my favorite. They actually taste like potatoes instead of just grease and salt. Good for Utz.

    Wheat is gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat. So if it's gluten-free, it's by default wheat-free. Celiacs may not be "allergic" to wheat in the traditional sense but we still can't touch it either.
  22. shopgirl
    Good for you. You seem much more positive already.
  23. shopgirl
    No, in the U.S., if it is derived from wheat, then it must clearly be labeled. If it isn't labeled as deriving from wheat, then it doesn't contain wheat. If it just says topcopherols or Vitamin E, it's fine. In the U.S., wheat must be labeled on the package.
  24. shopgirl
    Ah, I didn't know they were on shared lines. My apologies. I didn't have a problem with the few that I ate.
  25. shopgirl
    Yes, they're safe. They're gluten-free as they say on the bag.
