ARCHIVED Not Sure I Can Do Much More Of This...:(
alucard4545 replied to a84c72's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Holy crap really? I've never heard of that before, that's pretty scary. That being said though, I didn't eat anything with cinnamon on thanksgiving. It's possible that it may have been a kitchen contamination issue, since my kitchen is not a gluten free one. My mother was the one preparing all of the food. Of coarse she knows I'm a celiac and was trying her... -
ARCHIVED Not Sure I Can Do Much More Of This...:(
alucard4545 replied to a84c72's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
to a84c72, just wanted to say that you are not alone. I actually got glutened this thanksgiving regardless of serious efforts to prevent it. I have no idea how it happened and the next day I felt sick and was absolutely frustrated and miserable. Hang in there. It will take time, but everyone will understand and accept us eventually, just like they do with... -
ARCHIVED Discrimination Against Celiacs?
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Exactly. It really is as simple as that, yet some people on this thread are still missing the point. -
ARCHIVED Discrimination Against Celiacs?
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It is dreadful isn't it? That's why I started this thread and put the link to the petition right in my first post. In the end it is up to the person to decide whether to sign it, and in my opinion it couldn't hurt. I think it is important to help a fellow celiac who has been mistreated because of her condition. We can have a voice in this. -
ARCHIVED Discrimination Against Celiacs?
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I could not have said it better myself. I found it a little disheartening to see some of the previous posts, especially ones that are from Advanced Community Members. People who, by the very fact that they are on this site, should have a clearer understanding that gluten free doesn't automatically mean the problem is solved for all celiacs. I too can not... -

ARCHIVED Discrimination Against Celiacs?
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I agree with this completely. I’ve thought about it and Jennifer Esposito has had a very successful career so far. One must question why she would throw that away and risk her job on the show if this wasn’t a serious case of her being treated unfairly because of her celiac. She has even stated that CBS implied that she was not truly ill, and that it was... -
ARCHIVED Discrimination Against Celiacs?
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You're welcome. I was glad to post it because it angered me as well. -
The link I will post below sums up the whole situation that's going on right now with Actress/Celiac Jennifer Esposito. If you haven't heard about it already in the news or online, I would urge you to read this. I believe it is discriminatory against celiacs and people with disabilitites in general and it should not be tolerated... The link is a petition...

Goya Maria cookies are gluten free? Cool. Gotta try that. -
ARCHIVED Should There Be A Documentary About Celiac?

I agree. -
ARCHIVED Should There Be A Documentary About Celiac?
alucard4545 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I personally would love to see a feature length documentary made about celiac disease. I searched online and have only found short documentaries about it which were good, but would really only be helpful to brand new celiacs. I think a good full length celiac documentary would show things that usually aren't seen. For example, lots of us know about the... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Dating Sites?
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I understand what you're saying and it's an interesting point, but it couldn't hurt to have one available in my opinion. Especially with how celiacs are growing in number and how it's become something of a "trendy" diet. -
ARCHIVED Celiac Dating Sites?
alucard4545 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I gotta say I'm very disappointed with the fact that there are virtually no dating sites for people following the gluten free lifestyle. Considering the fact that there are millions of us and the fact that today's internet age has dating sites for practically everything, I was expecting to find at least one good one, but I didn't. Does anyone else share... -
ARCHIVED Glaceau Products (Vitamin Water)
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Okay. Then I guess I was sensitive to one of the other ingredients. I take a gluten free daily multi anyway so I don't really need it. -
ARCHIVED Dove Chocolate - Gluten Free?
alucard4545 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I emailed Dove recently about their gluten free status and just thought I'd share the response: In response to your email regarding DOVE CHOCOLATE. Thank you for your email. The ingredient statement on each wrapper is the best source for this information. The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network advises consumers to rely on ingredient labels... -
ARCHIVED Glaceau Products (Vitamin Water)
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Oh and it was "Modified Food Starch" on the waters label that I was concerned about to begin with. I know that if the starch contains Wheat, then it must be stated in parenthesis, but I don't think that applies to Rye or Barley, so it's tricky. -
ARCHIVED Glaceau Products (Vitamin Water)
alucard4545 replied to alucard4545's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I gotta say though, I drank a vitamin water and didn't feel too good the next day. It may not have been gluten but vitamin water does have a lot of ingredients so perhaps it was something else. I guess this is one that people will have to try and see how it feels for them. Me personally, I'm gonna stay away from it. -
ARCHIVED The Hersheys Company
alucard4545 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I emailed Hersheys asking which of their products are gluten free? Here's the response I received: Thank you for contacting The Hershey Company. Our product label includes an accurate listing of the ingredients in our products. However, on occasion, the list of ingredients can change. We encourage you to check the ingredient label on the package before... -
ARCHIVED General Mills Products
alucard4545 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
So I emailed General Mills about their gluten free status, curious as to how strictly they handle gluten. This is the response I received: Dear Valued Consumer: Thank you for contacting us about gluten in General Mills products. General Mills offers several products that are labeled gluten-free. Please check the package label for the gluten... -

ARCHIVED Is All Rice Gluten Free?
alucard4545 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
So I never thought about the possibility of rice being contaminated with gluten. Even if it's unlikely perhaps there is a chance. I usually buy bags of white rice from the supermarket, nothing special, just plain white rice generic brands. So are they completely safe to eat? Can anyone give some insight? Any brands that you take a liking to?
