    I understand, my old work use to have potlucks all the time. My boss even wanted to have a potluck on my last day even though I couldn't eat anything that was brought. She then said "you could bring stuff for the rest of us!" Yeah like I have time for that! My coworkers also used to tell me they were going to sneak gluten into my food. That is until I told...

    Yeah that is what I found, another website I think it was a Gluten Free GiGi website that said she had contacted Folgers and they told her about the barley malt being a source of flavoring. I also normally drink the green mountain k cups but the store was out so I bought something else. Big mistake I guess.

    I drink other types of coffee without any problems.

    I recently bought a different type of vanilla flavored coffee than I normally get. The box said nothing about any allergies so, stupidly, I figured it would be ok. However, now I'm thinking it glutened me. This whole week I've had headaches. This use to happen to me before going gluten free and usually lead up to a massive migraine. Anyways, I at first was...

    Thanks for the replies, it really helps hearing other peoples persectives. Justlisa, I agree with you. I try as hard as I can to make my celiacs a non issue. Sometimes though some things are just not avoidable, for example what started his thinking was that I wouldn't kiss him goodbye one night because he has just eaten a pizza. I didn't want to risk...

    This is true, I took out dairy initally as well and now I don't like the taste of milk at all. I have small doeses of cheese but dairy milk is just gross to me now. Also potato chips taste so salty now that I can't eat them. Frankly I'm glad I've lost the taste for certain foods, makes it easier to stay away from a lot more.

    Not that I would wish celiacs on anyone but it would be kind of nice to have a family member that unerstood my plight. But like other responders said my family is denial. I'm pretty sure my mom has it but she won't get checked for it. That is a neat discovery for you though!

    I know I don't post on here often but I'm thinking that you guys are the only ones who will understand this. Today I found out that the real reason my last boyfriend broke up with me is because I have celiacs and he knew it would affect him too. I'm no sad about the loss of this guy and obviously he isn't worth it but I'm heartbroken over his reasoning. I...

    My local grocery store (safeway) has starting putting little signs by things that are gluten free. The other day I was buying some Wolfgang Puck soups some of which are specifically labeled gluten free. I grabbed a few of the ones in which the store had labeled gluten free but I was in a hurry and stupidly did not read all the labels on them. Well today I...

    JustNana, Thanks for the apology. Everyone else, thanks for the adivce. I'm glad other people on here are good at researching all this stuff.

    Sorry that I don't spend my entire life on this board. Did you actually read what I wrote? I was asking if anyone else had heard of this notion. I never said I believed it.

    The article doesn't say that there is gluten in coffee. It says there is a protien in coffee that can cause the same harmful effects as gluten does in people with a gluten issue. I'm not really sure why everyone is disagreeing with this guy. I do think I need to see some more research before I give up my coffee, however, there are still people who says celiacs...

    Hey Everyone, So I read this blog today that basically says a protien in coffee can cause the same harmful effects as gluten can. I'm just wondering if anyone else has heard this or knows anymore. I'm a little upset about it. :/ Here is the blog Open Original Shared Link

    Ahhh, that is no good. I love the caramel macchiatos I drink them a lot without my normal gluten symptoms. Now this makes me wonder if some weird stuff that has been going on is because of my getting more hidden gluten. :/

    Hey, so I recently my mom bought me a bread maker. I told her I wanted one with a gluten free cycle (which I know they have because my sis-in-law has one) but after talking to a friend of her's with celiacs and doing some research, my mom got me a zojirushi home bakery mini. It makes smaller loves of bread which would be good for just me. Now the instruction...

    My hair continued to fall out until I switched to a gluten free shampoo and conditioner but even that took over a month for me to notice a difference in the amount falling out.

    When I first got diagnosed I was told that I could get a tax right off on my gluten free foods, but I had to be able to prove that I have to do it for health reasons and not just as a diet. I haven't looked into that very much but that was after I had the endoscopy.

    I had a waitress at a Mexican restaurant that is was fine for me to eat the corn tortillas even though they are cooked in the same oil as the flour ones, because "the oil will kill off the gluten" I just looked at her and shook my head.

    One of my first recognizable signs was abdominal pain on my right side. The pain was constant nothing I did made it go away. The pain took months and months to go away after going gluten free. I still get every so often probably when I get glutened.
  20. moose07
    So I took some cold medicine (Alka-Seltzer Plus liquid gels) and some Walgreens cough drops to help me deal with my cold. But I'm pretty sure one of them glutened me. So now I just feel worse. Alka-Seltzer's website said their products are gluten free but are processed in a facility with gluten containing products. I emailed Walgreens about their cough drops...

    Also, oddly enough, celiacs has made me healthier. Not just for the obvious reason's of improved diet but after being diagnosed I got back into working out which has helped tremendously.
  22. moose07
    This may sound odd but celiacs has made me a little more social. I'm painfully shy so I don't really talk a lot. However, it seems that somehow food almost always comes up in conversations and even though I don't throw out "I have celiacs" just for a conversation starter usually it does come up when people start talking about food. I admit I have gotten annoyed...

    I didn't realize that my unexplained migraines and unexplained depression as a teen were most likely the first signs that I had celiacs. Even then I was only diagnosed because my GI doctor couldn't figure out why I had constant side pain and some random GI symptoms. The doc said "I don't think you have this but I have nothing else I can test you for" and...

    I'd say go for some fruit. That may not be what you want to hear but it works for me, especially when I'm craving sweets and since you don't really need to cook fruit. Vegetables too, I eat baby carrots like there is no tomorrow, I'm waiting until I turn orange to stop. If you want bread I personally think Udi's is the best but invest in a toaster because...

    I would love to have a 100k at the moment but I am so terrified of developing some other autoimmune condition or disease that I'm not sure i could get myself to do it. Although, I wouldn't recommend people do it maybe it would be a good PSA or something to show the rest of the world what gluten does to us. I know most of my family members use to not take...
