    Thanks, Kaiti. Actually, I did have that list via the Celiac.com homepage. It is what what enabled me to see that Prilosec was not there. The trouble is, it does not tell which of the products on this list are antacids or have the same efffect. And, as someone who (up to now) ever took any drugs, I am just not up to date aboout what is out there. Experience...

    I have been looking for gluten-free products to counteract stomach acidity. Tums does not appear on any list I've seen (due to maltodextrin?, starch?). Nor does Prilosec (starch?). I have told by my doctor not to use Pink Bismuth (due to its coating effects on the stomach walls). There must be plenty of others but I could not find them on the Clan-Thompson...

    Yes, KaitiUSA! I got the same response. It was prompt, I am glad to say. And I've found their products good, which I why I use Edge. But, it would seem that this is another product for celiacs to be careful about. I am glad I brought up the issue here. Cuts, as occur with shaving, would seem to be a likely cause for gluten entry into the body. Andrew

    Excellent and helpful replies. My thanks to each of the last four contributors here. I'll do the endoscopy since other things could be found using it. However, the instructions from the doctor were to get on a glutenful diet right away in preparation for next week. That does not make me feel his primary reason for doing this is to look for other...

    Thanks to all for helpful replies. My doctor's office confirmed that the tTg tests were negative. In fact they were far below the threshold level. So, everything to date gives no indication of celiac disease, except that going gluten free rescued me from diarrhea until an unfortunate incident a few days ago occurred. As of now I am schedued for endoscopic...

    Sice my initial contact this morning with the SCJohnson corporation they have indicated they are investigating the particular aspects of my concers "Thank you for your recent email. Due to the nature of your concerns, I have forwarded your email to our Product Safety Group for their response. Someone should be responding to you shortly." I'll let you know...

    After reading about risks associated with ingestion of products like soap after washing I was wondering whether shaving ootions had been looked at here. I am fairly new and this might have occurred long ago. Anyhow, for what it's worth, I think that gluten in shaving lotions would be pretty troublesome on account of the possibility of cutting, chafing or...

    You know - my doctor's office just called. They want to see me next week for an endoscopy! Does not sound right, does it? They have tried a full battery of blood tests. I have also had a separate set of tests for other blood disorders, deficiencies etc. All tests were negative. The doctor's office said the endoscopy is the only way left. Gluten free...

    Thanks KaitiUSA With Snapple eliminated I have narrowed the only item that was different down to one - the dried powdered artificial milk used in coffee (Coffee Mate?). I never use it but was all they had at my local support group that day. Before using it I asked pointedly about its safety. They said they used it but had never seen anyone get a reaction...

    Let me try to re-direct this thread, if you dont mind. It has become more investigative on the subject of diabetes - a great and important topic but it might be better to start a separate discussion on that one. Let me try to return to the original one - where do I go from here. All tests, blood, stools and colonoscopy show negative results, indicating to...

    Thanks for the seaparate answers I had heard that Snapple and Ocean Spray were OK but I felt I had to confirm this. I have been gluten-free for almost 6 weeks now without any diarrhea whereas I had diarrhea constantly beforehand. So, this was a major, and first, backward step. I do not react to sugars , at least I don't think I do and sugars are...

    After five weeks free of diarrhea since I began a tight gluten-free diet I have had a relapse. Diarrhea has come on again yesterday evening and today but the only things that have changed in the past 24 hours have been a few drinks of Snapple (lemonade) and Ocean Spray cranberry (lite). Normally, I do not touch either but in this warm weather on a hike today...

    I don't see how the defense could stand up! If they say 'gluten-free' then it must be gluten-free, no matter where or how it is produced. How can that statement mean anything else? What do they mea by facility? It's all a farce. For me, if iIsee the warning I cannot trust the company. Therefore I will not buy it. Andrew
  14. baggotlane
    OK. Thanks. That makes sense. How about Dial day care for liquid soap? Or is there a list? I did not see it on the celiac.com list. Andrew

    Hi! I've read here that shampoos are far safer for celiacs if they are gluten-free. The reason given was the unintended take-up through the mouth of suds. Couldn't the same happen with soaps and/or detergents if you ate just after wshing your hands? A small amount remaining on the hands might be enough to cause a reaction. Can anyone say is this is...
  16. baggotlane
    This is a good topic, although it is starting to drift away from what my initial questions were. Anyhow! Yes, I can see the difference. What I would really like to know is whether in all Type1 persons tested the responsible gene had been found. And whether for people who developed Type 1 in as juveniles, let us say, they had been shown to have the gene at...

    Peaches, Your statement that Type 1 diabetes is purely genetic (as 'you are born' with it) would be disputed by research at the University of Maryland. Let me quote from them "Genetic factors cannot fully explain the development of diabetes. Over the past 30 years, a major increase in the incidence of type 1 diabetes has been reported in certain European...

    Thanks, Michelle. I'll start with dairy (instead of corn as I had trouble with one corn product). The blood test did Ige & IGG - negative. I will look into the 96 food panel test. You're right, it will probaly not be done by my doctor. But I think it is important. I cannot see much correlation between what I eat and how I feel. I am just getting stomach...

    No, not quite. Some people are born with Type 1 but most acquire it later, often as juveniles. A few even acquire it when adults. Type2 is a different disease, resulting from insulin resistance and frequently resulting from lack of excercise and/or excess weight. It is often called adult-onset diabetes, which is indeed apt for most people but a few children...

    Thanks for the replies from everybody. The tests were done within two weeks of going gluten-free. Could that change the blood-test responses also? One person indicated there was an allergy test that could help smoke out a non gluten-free cause. I have never had allergies to anything except to bee stings thirty years ago but not since. Any idea...

    Hi All! I need some helpful advice. Over a month ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I have coped with gluten-free diet and that has eliminated diarrhea. So I feel much better. However, none of the tests (blood or biopsy) showed anything positive and the stomach wind and indigestion has not cured itself, at least not yet. Is it too early to ake other...
