    Maltodextrin is safe.

    You do not really want to know.... Every body is different. Don't worry about it.

    again....?? I also had IgG testing done by an "integrative doctor" and paid out of pocket, but the reality is...we may have been "had". Mine said I had no "gluten antibodies", but I was a raging celiac. Sick to death.

    Again, is this statement based on ANY scientific data? WHICH labs and researchers "know this"?? You keep posting statements as if they are "facts" and using random statistics and do not provide anything solid in support. In the Blood Transfusion thread, too. May I remind you of Board rule #5. "Any claims you make here should be based on legitimate...

    Joe, This is a very specific statistic....where is this documented? thanks!
  6. IrishHeart
    Thank you, Sky.
  7. IrishHeart
    by whom?????? please post this validated information, thanks! These kinds of statements need scientific or clinical evidence ---so our members with celiac disease get up-to-date validated information.
  8. IrishHeart
    AAAND there is ............! yeah, what she said!! thanks, K!

    Capt. honestly..... I would not make that statement, based on one person's post. that is not how the gluten antibodies OR the digestive system works. Please read this: Open Original Shared Link I have seen NO medical evidence supporting any of this.... Have you?
  10. IrishHeart
    we understand! (hugs) kiddo...hang tough!
  11. IrishHeart
    Whoa, what a second.... One more time: Celiac is not communicable via blood transfusions. People who eat gluten cannot "contaminate" us. Univ. of Maryland Center for Celiac Research states this emphatically on their website. Do you really think that we would be allowed to donate or receive a blood transfusion if it were a HEALTH HAZARD...

    You bet, hon. I really feel bad that you're going through all this, but in the long run, DX or not, please....listen to your body. I would hate to see your vicious migraines return. I had those intermittently for 30 years....and I would have just as soon blown my own head off to make that pain stop. Those are AWFUL.

    We have discussed this many times on here and everyone seems to have a "favorite" Some good ones are: Ultimate Flora Custom Probiotics Culturelle and yes, a celiac gut needs them. Hope it helps!
  14. IrishHeart
    yes. I had night sweats, I had EVERYTHING. I lived in hell. I am sure you are afraid to eat--- because it IS making you sick! I was in the same boat. Lost 90 lbs. I was very ill with celiac disease. That is why you are losing weight sweetie. Gluten makes you sick. I hope you get through the week! Hang in there.
  15. IrishHeart
    Keep eating, give it a few days....I hope you can tolerate it. I am afraid of what's coming for you, to be honest. Take probiotics to keep the bowels running. Constipation is no picnic. I still think it takes more than a month on a gluten challenge, hon. Takes 3 months, I thought? Again, if you did not have a gluten intolerance, you would...

    Looking at your sig line, Hashi's, D Def and diverticulitis, PLUS DQ2 genes? That would be enough for me. (IMHO, of course!)
  17. IrishHeart
    Sorry you guys are so uncomfortable still on gluten. I know ---it just plain sucks. I hope you both get answers soon so you can stop the madness. To me, if you are having such distress on gluten, that speaks volumes. Celiac or not. (I am one of those people who view wheat gluten as poison. My personal kryptonite. It tried to kill me. ) ...
  18. IrishHeart
    If you are looking for a celiac diagnosis and have not been tested, you should REMAIN on a gluten filled diet, hon. You cannot get accurate test results if you remove gluten. I think I remember your other post--aren't you having a biopsy this week?? Your symptoms sure sound like gluten intolerance to me.
  19. IrishHeart
    First of all, are your migraines gone off gluten? Then how was this "unnecessary change and irritation"? Maybe you were expecting it to be more intense, but you admit readily that you have: a constant stomachache a headache and constipation Those aren't bad enough? Yikes! they sound pretty bad to me. The point is--If you did not have...
  20. IrishHeart
    And that works for me....what time is dinner, J??
  21. IrishHeart
    That is a lot of weight to lose in one week, but I know nothing about your health or your circumstances. You're sure they were Ian's gluten-free chicken bites, right? Doesn't that company make ones that are not gluten-free?? (or I am thinking of some other company maybe) Are you eating enough throughout the day? Without taking the post off topic...

    I tried these when I was traveling recently and needed snacks to have handy. I do not know how "powerful" they are, but they are pretty darn tasty http://store.nugonutrition.com/category/nugo-free.html

    Here is what confuses people: Starting January of 2012, we began producing the following brands validated as gluten-free with gluten-free printed on their labels: -Tomatoes: Hunt's all varieties (excluding Pasta Sauces, Tomato Sauces and Ketchups) Below is a list of some of our other products that do not contain added gluten* *These...

    I am stealing this from my own Newbie 101 thread Some Breakfast ideas: Erewhon crispy brown rice cereal or gluten-free Kellogg's RICE KRISPIES, gluten-free CHEX corn or gluten-free CHEX Rice cereal, gluten-free CHEX honey-nut or gluten-free CHEX Cinnamon Add: rice milk, almond milk or coconut milk (The So Delicious brand is excellent) and add...
