    There would be no way i could handle that. I still don't know how i passed that one semester when i was sick. Luckily, I have my own kitchen. But sometimes i wish I could grab that quick meal and not have to worry about CC. I do get apples from there though... and sometimes milk.... But that's it.

    Nearly two years later, I'm doing very well

    It can take up to two years for any damage to heal. Consider keeping a food dairy. It can help you figure out what might be bothering you. It could very well be that you have an additional intolerance to something (such as corn, soy, and lactose).

    You need to be on gluten for testing to be accurate. These two can be caused by acid reflux. Outside of the tongue thing, the rest of those can be caused by celiac.

    Generally, it is not safe to eat out unless you personally know the cook. Some restaurants have high awareness of celiac. Others do not. I've eaten out at steak houses before and have been okay.

    I couldn't find anything on their website either. Generally from what i've seen, chickens are often injected with a salt solution (water and salt).

    xanthan gum is sometimes found in pasta sauces. Ragu's Classic Alfredo has it in it. So it is sometimes used in other foods, but its rather rare to find it in them

    I tell myself no, its not worth the trouble. I don't do candy anymore for a reason. As a child i only really ate atomic fireballs (had to stop after my tongue decided to go all rough and irritated and last for a week or two without the ability to taste and being really sore), gum does the same (cinnamon flavor). I think its due to the red food coloring...

    No, sadly you really can't. For any school things you need to have a doctor diagnose it. Class room accommodations and such are the reasoning. Luckily it falls under the ADA (Americans with disabilities act) if you are in the US. I've heard of young children getting diagnosed without testing on the basis of a failed gluten trail failing if their...

    Leftovers for me.

    Wheat is an allergen as a result it must be listed. It cannot be hidden what so ever. From the USDA website: Open Original Shared Link Meat does not have gluten (unless of course it is breaded or what have you).

    Yes, get her tested. Celiac has a wide range of symptoms. The fact that she packs on lbs when she isn't eating enough seems to me like her body may be hording what nutrients it can get. Some celiacs have major weight loss before diagnosis and some gain weight. Another thought is NCGI (non-celiac Gluten intolerence). It can mimic many of the same...

    Nope, not at all. If, all of a sudden, you got tired from eating too many oranges and decided to stop eating them, would that be dangerous? Nope. Allergies can happen at any time, of course. There is no predicting those. However if you feel better off of it, then by all means, don't eat it.

    Yep, sounds like you are going through the gluten with drawl. Your body likes the gluten, even if it makes you sick. So, it throws a temper tantrum when it doesn't get it. Generally, from what i went through and what i've heard, mood swings, depression, and so on.
  15. shadowicewolf
    A week for me, but i've heard a month or so as well.

    Rice chex has vitamins that are derived from soy. Rice cakes can be cc'd. Try a plain bowl of rice and see how you do.

    Celiac has a wide range, from stomach aches to constipation. Yes, it is very possible. Celiac can go "silent" (no symptoms) and still be doing damage, regardless of how much gluten has been eaten.

    ...I was a year younger than you when i got my glasses (at 5) and lets not get into all the different orthodontic appliances that i had to use... One of which was one that had to be cranked every night. Major overbite, bucked teeth, large teeth in a small mouth, jaw not growing, and a tooth that refused to come up (eventually lead to surgery that exposed...

    Can you handle ginger root? That can help with nausea.
  20. shadowicewolf
    If you were diagnosed via biopsy than i'd say that yes you do. The thing is, to me, it looks like you were a somewhat silent celiac at the beginning (aka next to no symptoms). And with the stopping of the gluten and then re-introducing it, in a not so strict fashion, I believe, has caused you to become more symptomatic. It is very good that you are...

    Really? I had both. Braces for 7-8 years (something like that) and glasses for most of my life. Its very possible that you might have a slight reaction to almonds. After all, anyone can become allergic to anything at any time. Yay! The glasses, by the way, that i was talking about were the no rim ones. I'm too clumsy to even attempt to try those...

    I ate too much..... but it was so good....
  23. shadowicewolf
    Not enough, i'm afraid
  24. shadowicewolf
    No problem! We like our peanut butter. They have a natural version of the honey (roasted? or was honey just added) version. I didn't care for it to much. Rather make my own peanut butter and honey mix.
  25. shadowicewolf
    I've got both 2 and 8 My gut was a mess prior to starting the gluten free diet. Vomiting (once to twice a day) plus "D" on a daily basis was not fun. Nausea was a day to day battle. I had some neurological symptoms then too (part of my right arm would go numb, with two of my fingers). Was it gluten related or a pinched nerve? I have no idea, but it stopped...
