    In addition to all the great suggestions here, try KIND bars. I am completely addicted to the almond coconut. Easy to throw in a purse and at least fends off the hunger pains for a bit until you can locate something celiac friendly.

    Will be checking out Bubble and Bee Organic. Sounds interesting. Also check out www.soletvita.com. Very nice high quality lip balm that is gluten free. Also has SPF15.

    An update on my original post on this topic.. I am once again in the market for individual health insurance & while I have not been through the underwriting process or been approved for any coverage, my insurance broker has spoken with underwriters from Humana, Aetna and Healthnet, all of whom indicated that if the Celiac had been controlled by diet...

    I am in Arizona. Not sure if it varies by state or if it's more across the board.

    Check out Sol et Vita lip balms. Nice texture, moisturizing, spf15 and 4 flavors. www.soletvita.com.

    These are fairly specific to the gluten allergy, but you might check out Open Original Shared Link for free restaurant cards, or you can order a gluten-free packet which includes a variety of languages (Spanish, Italian, etc)Open Original Shared Link (bottom of the page). Hope that helps. Good luck.

    Just in case it's helpful for anyone else: Prescribing dr and two different pharmacies were unable to tell me if Cipro (by Cobalt in US) contained gluten. I resorted to www.glutenfreedrugs.com. Cipro was listed there, but no manufacturer so emailed and received a fairly quick reply that Cobalt's formula is corn / maize based so ok to take. I'm 3 pills...

    I have not persued an endoscopy. Removing gluten from my diet has resolved my issues and my positive blood test was apparently VERY positive. Like your antibody range is supposed to be 0 - 10 and mine was 108. So not mildly intolerant to gluten, but officially celiac according to the dr. And yes, I should let the dr's office know that they've red-flagged...

    I have avoided Clamato since I couldn't figure out for sure if it contained gluten (label lists vinegar - not distilled). I've seen numerous (somewhat older) posts in the forum stating that it is NOT gluten-free. I finally contacted their customer service asking if Clamato contains gluten and this is their response: Thank you for contacting us about the...

    Yes, I wish my doctor had told me options. She didn't even tell me she was doing a test for celiac. She did the normal blood panel with normal results and it was a month later she called me with the antibody test results (which I had no idea she'd run) showing positive. I wish she'd asked me if I wanted the test and discussed the pros and cons with me...

    One year into diagnosis and find myself looking for individual health insurance. Not fun. Was never informed that this could be a problem getting coverage. Are people with peanut allergies on an auto decline list? Hopefully "pre-existing" conditions won't be an issue come 2014 due to Obama's healthcare changes, but that doesn't help right now. For those...
