I eat a lot of beans and lentils, and am starting to think CC might be the source of some of my relapse - my GI doctor thinks I am either super sensitive or refractory. Are there any certified gluten-free canned bean brands that are tested? Or any dried beans (black and pinto) or lentils that are certified? Every bag of beans I pick up at the supermarket...

I had the same problem you have.. what I have found works (and isn't too terrible) is Enjoy Life crunchy flax cereal. I mix in some nuts, craisins, and honey. Also I eat a lot of Trader Joe's fiberful bars.

ARCHIVED Anyone Ever Feel Like Giving Up?
Asharia replied to Gfresh404's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I hear you. The lack of positive results from all of our effort (i.e. still feeling ill years into a gluten-free diet) is hard to handle, and sometimes the knowledge of "big bad future problems if you eat gluten" doesn't seem like enough to keep you on track. It seems like for a lot of us the specifics are different, but the difficulty of truly feeling better... -
ARCHIVED After Being Glutened Do You Ever Pass This?
Asharia replied to GFreeMO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Oh wow, I never noticed the cause and effect before - this might help me a lot in figuring out what the sources of CC in my diet are! Gee, I get to start a mucus diary, awesome. -
I have recently moved and had to get a new GI doctor. My first appointment with her (back in March) left such a bad taste in my mouth, I haven't been back. She accused me of knowingly cheating on my gluten-free diet because my antibodies were up, and didn't believe me when I said I wasn't. Now, six months later, after being even more strict about my diet...

ARCHIVED How Long Does It Take For Antibodies To Decrease?
Asharia replied to Asharia's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It sounds like someone needs to do a study on this! Maybe I should change fields from ecology to celiac-studies, hah. I have been careful about non-food products (toiletries, dog's food, etc), and I live alone. I would say my (non-dairy, non vegetable) staples are: Frontera salsa Frontera, Bearitos, or Tostitos torilla chips Bearitos or Amy... -
ARCHIVED How Big Of A Problem Is Cc With Canned Products?
Asharia replied to Asharia's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for all of your thoughts - although I am disappointed that there is not something not completely fresh that I don't have to worry about It does seem like cutting out Trader Joes and Amy's products are a good start, but part of me just wants to go all the way to make sure I start feeling better sooner. Thinking about going all non-processed is as... -
ARCHIVED How Big Of A Problem Is Cc With Canned Products?
Asharia posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am trying to figure out sources of cross contamination in products I use, and I am not sure how diligent I need to be with canned foods that don't have any gluten ingredients - for example, fire-roasted tomatoes or refried beans, or even just plain black beans! It seems like CC would be more likely with a brand that makes tons of stuff(like Trader... -
ARCHIVED How Long Does It Take For Antibodies To Decrease?
Asharia posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I haven't been able to find any good information on how long it takes for a positive antibody blood test to return to normal on a truly gluten free diet. My antibodies are currently at 3X the normal range, but I don't know if it's possible to go back to normal within a week, a month, half a year, etc. Are there any published works on this? Even if not,... -
ARCHIVED How To Get Testing Outside Of Through A Doctor?
Asharia posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello all, I was diagnosed 5 years ago via blood test and endoscopy. I have reason to believe that my grandfather may have had undiagnosed celiac (due to symptoms), and I know it can run in families anyway. My family's (parents and younger brother) doctor refuses to have them get the blood antibody test because they are symptom free - he says that insurance... -
ARCHIVED Backpacker's Pantry Ok?
Asharia posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with Backpacker's Pantry non-gluten containing products. I am going to be part of a backpacking trip for work in Mexico and I have to give them a what-to-purchase list. We won't have any refrigeration so I am pretty limited in what I can bring. I know that Backpacker's Pantry has an allergen guide...
