Hi, Is Honey Mustard usually a safe option for restaurant salads? Also, does teriyaki always contain wheat?? Was SO excited to see gluten-free buns new at Rubies! Ate a real burger yesterday but woke up with some tummy issues. I simply forgot that teriyaki can contain wheat, perhaps that is why my tummy is upset? Thanks! Kat

ARCHIVED Help! Two Son Whom Do Not Care
Kat70R replied to Karl Otto's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Have you tried fruit smoothies and shakes? My son has autism and I blend avocados into carob or chocolate shakes, almond meal and kale into fruit smoothies for protein and nutrition, not detectable unless he sees me doing it lol! also I put his smoothies in a colored, covered plastic cup so that he can not tell that it is slightly green- or add blueberries... -
ARCHIVED Best gluten-free Bread?
Kat70R replied to Kat70R's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My husband bought Rudi's at Costco! Can not believe the price as you get 2 loaves for just a bit more than the price of one at my local natural store! Very happy with it, unbelievable =) hope they continue to carry! Now I want to try Udis too and compare. Now if my local store carried French gluten-free my life would be complete =) -
ARCHIVED Best gluten-free Bread?
Kat70R replied to Kat70R's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks so much everyone! Well, that is a lot to go on. I have seen Udis and it is SO expensive but if i use bread less and perhaps more rice tortillas it will be affordable. Do you need a bread machine to prepare bread in the recipes some of you are using?? -

Thanks Sylvia, ok it does say <3 on hte tTg Ab which means negative... I think that my Hubby will be ok as long as i can get stuff to taste good, I found some really good pastas and there may be times when I have to cook 2 meals. We will see how it goes, i am just trying to figure out what sauces etc are safe at the moment, on my way to feeling better... -

Sylvia, the report says Quest on it, it does seem incomplete though. I as so sure that I have celiac in my family too but they would not do the dna test! My mother died from colon cancer and always had anxiety + tummy issues and her mother died of Addisons, I understand that these 2 diseases are linked to celiac + all my symptoms that I have had forever... -

Thanks Sylvia, what to do about a husband that thinks the gluten thing is all hype? I just wanted some indication in my blood test that gluten was an issue so that I could get his support! If I could show him a blood test then he would take it all seriously! Ok so about 3 year ago i went off almost all gluten free, felt much better then got pregnant... -

I need to try the diet but now i hesitate because I do not know what is really causing my problems! I am confused, I did not think there was a test for gluten intolerance but read that there was? Is that usually apart of a typical celiac panel? -

Thanks Takala, I don't think it gave the ranges? so confusing! It is hard to know what my health problems are now, I wish that there was a test for gluten intolerance so that i can know for sure! The only thing that should abnormal in my test was my vitamin D levels, tired of now knowing what has been wrong with me for years! -
Can anyone interpret what the test results mean, this is like a foreign language but they are telling me that I don't have it so either I did not eat enough gluten or i really do not have it! hmmmmm tTG U/mL Endomysial IgA: Negetive Endomhysial Ab Titer less than 1:5 IgA, Serum:228 81-463 mg/dl tTG U/mL

Hello, Going to Doc tomorrow, want to make sure that i get the right tests, what do I need to know? Also, anyone have any idea if the tests are expensive? concerned my HMO will not want to order them. I do really want to genetic test for sure to see if it is in my genes, that is important, right? Thanks & Happy Easter! Kat

Hello, has anyone notices that eating more gluten after reducing it for years can cause less stomach issues? I am finding that as I am eating it everyday (for upcoming test)I am having less issues. Maybe it is also that I include probiotics which really helps but if I really had celiac wouldn't my stomach get worse? Maybe I don't have it after all, not sure...

ARCHIVED Canker Sores?
Kat70R replied to hannahm's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Hanna, I too get horrible canker soars, they are so painful! swirl with salt water, it hurts a bit but really helps. Also, a bit of good probiotic yogurt every day really helps to control breakouts. I now only eat the soy yogurt as I am lactose intolerant. Good Luck! Kat -
ARCHIVED Why I Need A Diagnosis
Kat70R replied to Kat70R's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Sorry Mushroom, i hit reply too fast. I have never had a celiac panel but just about everything else! I have attempted to stop gluten for about 3 or so years, after a friend of mine went raw and had a complete health turn around for the better. She told me to first give up dairy because that was why I was congested, I could not believe it but in 2 weeks... -
ARCHIVED Why I Need A Diagnosis
Kat70R replied to Kat70R's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks Mushroom, I actually never completely gave up gluten, still ate stuff like oats/granola, whole wheat bread and pasta, smaller portions and not everyday, I guess that I was more gluten lite than gluten free.....for a couple of weeks I have been trying to eat more for the past week and it is making me so cloudy and tired! I don't know if I could do ... -
ARCHIVED Why I Need A Diagnosis
Kat70R posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello, This forum has been such a blessing to me since I found it! I have a couple questions/thoughts. First of all, is it a fact that celiac runs in families? My Grandmother died of Addison's and my mother had major stomach issues, severe anxiety her whole life than passed on from colan cancer at 68. I have several symptoms I have mentioned before... -

Hi, I am new the board =) I may have celiac, I am in the process of getting insurance and I will get testing done. Dreading facing doctors, I have been through so many blood tests through the years, told nothing was wrong and I was depressed. Through a lot of searching I have found that I have many symptoms of Celiac. Brain fog, constipation, cramps...
