    Thanks for posting this, Lee! I am relocating to that general area in Florida in about 6 months and I'm willing to drive a bit and give them a try.
  2. IrishHeart
    This is, sadly, the most ironic statement of all...and it applies to many people I know as well. They may very well die too early, if indeed celiac is the root of their health problems and they do not change their eating habits..

    Have to go traipsing around to find shoes today,while more people come gawk at my house and land (ugh--I hate this stranger parade !) and then go to The Gym (cuz my hip is better and I need to get all flexible again so I can dance at the wedding ) so dinner tonight will be Encore meatloaf sandwiches and tossed salad and probably some fruit salad of...

    I think we all have our ways of expressing ourselves...do whatever works for you! I suggest you be firm, use humor to deflate anger and frustration and learn to blow off criticism about celiac and the gluten-free diet. It's your life you are saving. Just my two cents, IMHO.
  5. IrishHeart
    oh, they do sound good! I was just chiming in.

    Thanks. K. I thought everyone knew what FWIW means. Sorry if you didn't, Lisa.. It means the same as "just a suggestion from my experience" for what value that may hold to the reader. No, I didn't actually. I said "they are no problem for me--in the 2.5 years I have used them...so, never." ..FWIW--which means ".and if that helps you make a decision...

    did you read the company statement I posted above? we also had a gluten analysis done and no gluten was found in the alcohol. I would not lie to you. Spectrum has caused me NO Gluten" reactions" but if you want to avoid it, please do.
  9. IrishHeart
    Okay, so I did what you said and if you read it, it says...IT is GLUTEN FREE Are Spectrum's Mayonnaise products gluten-free? All of Spectrum's Mayonnaise and Mayonnaise products are gluten free, and our new labels are marked 'Gluten Free.' While all of Spectrum's Mayonnaise and Mayo products contain white vinegar derived from corn and rye, the gluten...

    Goya canned beans have been okay for me FWIW

    I have no issues at all from McCormick's.
  12. IrishHeart
    Please do... and be sure to post what the company says about the gluten-free status.....right here so we all can see it? thanks a bunch!
  13. IrishHeart
    I had you at "Irish Heart is right" can you tell this to my hubs, my Mom, my sister, my ex husband,etc..?. but seriously, sweet girl, I cannot endorse EVER saying to anyone: " I used to think the "allergic to gluten people were just being overly picky eaters" because nothing in that statement is true. Celiacs are not "allergic to gluten...

    I use Spectrum Natural Organic Oils. No issues whatsoever. But, what sunflower oils are produced on shared lines with wheat germ oil? Please post them so we can be made aware. Thanks, seraphim!

    here is what I did for one month about 6 months after DX,,,,just to "clear the decks" so to speak. It is called the Failsafe diet (google it but here is the explanation "The FAILSAFE diet is a diet designed to be free of additives, low in salicylates, amines and flavour enhancers. It is Open Original Shared Link‘s term for the low-chemical exclusion d...

    I would not drink it. No way. IMHO and frankly, this may explain why you felt sick after the peanut butter powder an questioned it's gluten-free status? https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/102223-what-does-certified-gluten-free-really-mean/
  17. IrishHeart
    I was ready to say this,but you have it covered, GEM . It's not always gluten that bites us on the butt. I know, because soy and I do not get along. However.....I looked at some of the OTHER products in her line and she uses Barley, etc. So....it may be" free of gluten ingredients, but it may also be CCed. I, personally, look for the CERTIFIED...

    oh great, now I have a vision of you in a corset and heels...petting a giraffe...having a foodgasm. The hubs just asked if we could have BLT's in roll ups (I use tortillas wraps) for dinner because we had a long day out and I deserve to relax..because I also had my blood drawn for my checkup at the GI doc next week ....(yes, I am sitting on a...

    Well, I was going to say something (I've been gone all day and just saw that UC has returned to read all our posts)..but I am too late because you guys have said it all. I'll just say "what they just said". Kiddo, GO SHOPPING and stop glutening yourself. Your attitude about this is all wrong. It's not the worst thing on the planet to be a celiac. Not...

    I should clarify... I'm not a "frilly" girly girl. I'm like Katherine Hepburn. I feel I can wear pants and big earrings and still be sexy. I don't like to shop for clothes, but I can browse in other kinds of shops happily. Sur La Table? Williams Sonoma? oh yeah baby. I know there will be more than champagne for me, or so I hear. My cousin has 1...

    If it ain't, it is now. Love it. I forced myself to go to the mall (ARGH! I hate shopping) to buy a (GASP!) dress for a wedding Saturday in Massachusetts.. I am not a frilly girlie girl and I LOATHE pantyhose(who invented those blasted gawd-awful things?? (ARGH!) and to get over my distaste for shopping, I ate lunch at a place (ironically) called...

    If you avoid foods you have an allergy to, you will not have a reaction. This does not mean you will become more sensiitive to them and become malnourished. That does not seem plausible to me.IMO Allergic reaction are not the same as intolerance reactions, so yes it is true you may not have digestive issues from foods you are allergic to. Sorry you...

    from all I have read, there is a small subset of patients with celiac disease who develop DH even though they have been on a strict gluten free diet. but I am wondering if you have been so careful all this time, if perhaps this rash is not DH. but a rash from something else. IMHO
  24. IrishHeart
    I am not sure what this means, hon. "If you started to avoid any of those foods, you'd be in trouble??" ??
  25. IrishHeart
    Hi Lisa! long time no see! I cannot add much to everything that Squirmy so eloquently said.....except this: you can be allergic to something ...and it does not mean you are being glutened. I get rashes on my face and scalp from high histamine foods, yet I have no "clinical" allergies(IgE mediated) nor do I have DH Have you been to an allergist...
