    Eat NOTHING that isn't labeled gluten free...or you can't at least cross-reference from two very good sources that it's ok to have. I used this forum TONS at the start. You can probably look back at my posts...lol. And yes, "eat the perimeter" of your grocery store to start, especially if your intestines are on the mend. And they will, it takes time...

    About two hours...or less. Stomach cramps, and the "D." I've been "glutened" less than a handful of times over the years since my diagnosis (and going gluten free) like seven years ago...but it's always the same story. Oddly enough, a Red Bull seems to help me recover if it happens, honest.

    I see this sauce online and labeled gluten free. Anyone have experience with this sauce at all? Would SO love to try it, if I can get some feedback here. Thanks!

    I don't think I can trust it. Just too much wheat around. At restaurants with gluten-free menus (like Longhorn's) I perceive a lot less likelihood of CC because, well, they're not pounding out dozens of regular pizzas every hour.

    As you can see everyone here has gone through your stage. I would perhaps just add that, as now your intestines are healing, it may be better to eat the healthier stuff for now. It's almost like the paleo diet food I guess. Yes it's more cooking but even that becomes part of the habit too. I seem to recall I think that it was about six months or so...

    Four years ago I was in the EXACT same spot, I got diagnosed in my mid-40s. I lost lots of weight and had no idea what to eat at all. I was starving. And little or no alcohol for six months since the intestines were injured. That was real tough. What to drink/not drink is a whole other thread...but on to my very first gluten free diet from the first...

    I am truly sorry you are having a rough time. First, I would go to youtube and look up some guided meditation...either voice or music and voice. I never went for any of that stuff when I was younger but, presented with health problems of my own, I realized I was going to have to do something to slow my brain down so I can start to deal. I really had...

    Whoops you beat me to an update on this subject. Actually being gluten free did not provide me the more "miraculous" results of feeling better and more energy, etc..I've been gluten free over three years. BUT without gluten my liver stopped failing, I wasn't yellow, the doctors were amazed and pleased...that was good enough for me. Mine was an extremely...

    Ok...how about Escitalopram Oxalate (the generic for Lexipro). The pharmacist looked at all the ingredients and did not think it had any gluten in it. Anybody here have experience with this drug??? Or other gluten free options for depression and anxiety? Of course insurance company won't pay for the brand name Lexipro.

    Hi, After several years off Lexipro (since before I was diagnosed with Celiac) my doctor thinks I should really go back on it. What's the word on Lexipro these days or maybe its generic (don't know what it is) being gluten free? Anybody have any experience with it? Truth be told, I probably need it or a gluten-free equivalent... Thanks!

    Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knows if Wellbutrin or Lexipro are gluten free? Anyone here have experience with these? They've been indicated for me (one or the other) but don't know if they're safe for Celiacs. Thanks!

    I state this is reference to the earlier post that notes Theraflu was stated to have <10.0 ppm of gluten, well below the current USA standard for "gluten free" which is what we're eating. Does anyone see what I'm trying to say? It would seem to reason Theraflu is as or "more gluten free" than the standard gluten free products we're eating now. Thus...
  13. lucky97
    But if something is labeled "gluten free," and there are things labeled gluten free here in the the USA (I will assume <200 ppm) and those are the preferred products, how will you know? That just means they're <200 ppm. Unless you are referring to a cave man/whole food diet perhaps.
  14. lucky97
    But the new proposed standard is <20 ppm. So would one not consider Theraflu safe then???
  15. lucky97
    This is good news...I am proceeding to the store right now on my way to work. Theraflu used to do the job for me in the past before I got diagnosed a few years ago.
