ARCHIVED Good Manufacturing Practices Used To Segregate......
sarahw posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am trying to find a good multivitamin and purchased Whole Foods Womens Food Based Multivitamin. The label states "Good manufacturing practices used to segregate in a facility that also processes wheat etc." I have celiac and am always careful about trace glutens so I am wondering do others feel comfortable with this label or have people had issues and... -
ARCHIVED VSL #3 Gluten Free?
sarahw posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Does anyone know if VSL #3 is gluten free? From the information I have found online, it looks like the unflavored version is but I cannot find a definite answer. I was going to call the company as well but wanted to see if anyone had any information. If anyone has taken it also, was it helpful? thanks! -
This is actually a question for a friend of mine who may have Celiac. She got her genetic test results back today but will not see a dr to go over them for another week. The results were: DQ2 negative and DQ8 positive, genetic risk 1:89 (moderate). Does anyone know what this means and if she may have the gene? Thanks so much!

Does any one know if the Polynesian sauce is gluten free? Chick-fil-a has it listed as gluten free on their website bu the ingredient list says it contains "natural flavors". Anyone had any problems with it? I eat the fries all the time with no problems and ask for the nugget meals with my nuggets grilled and have had no problems.

Thank you both for your responses. I just realized I posted this in the wrong category. The pain in my left side started about 2 weeks ago--about the time I began the h. pylori treatment. I am supposed to take the supplement for 4 weeks so I am wondering why I have the pain now and not before I began treatment. I also started take L. gluatamine around...

I was diagnosed with h. pylori a few weeks ago. My naturopathic dr. put me on a supplement called pylorocid with zinc, mastic gum extract, berberine sulfate hydrate, and bismuth citrate. I have been taking it for 2 weeks. From reading some other post it seems like I should be taking an antibiotic to get rid of it although I know she wants to take a natural...

ARCHIVED Pernicious Anemia/b12 Injections
sarahw posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have celiac and was also recently diagnosed with pernicious anemia. My doctor has recommended 10mg B12 injections 4 times a week for a few weeks. I guess this would be considered a "loading dose" and then we would decrease the number of injections to maintain levels. This dosage seems really high to me--what is normal for a B12 deficiency? What are... -
ARCHIVED Help With Food Labels
sarahw posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and have a question about food labels. Do companies have to specify whether or not a product is produced in a facility that also processes wheat? For example, I was looking at canned tomatoes tonight at Whole Foods. The Whole Foods brand specificies that their tomatoes are produced in a facility that also... -
ARCHIVED Recently Diagnosed, Looking For Hope/help
sarahw replied to lesquee's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Erin, We are in the same boat. I was diagnosed 6 weeks ago--i just joined this forum yesterday. It has been a difficult 6 weeks but I will say that I am VERY slowly feeling better every day. I think that it gets easier once you get a hang of the gluten free diet and I dont expect to have it mastered for many more months/year. The depression/anxiety... -
I was diagnosed with celiac disease 6 weeks ago. This is my first time posting and I am so glad to have found this support group! I have been gluten free for 6 weeks. I have tried to be very careful but I know I have made mistakes since it is a learning process and my husband and daughter do not eat gluten free. I am wondering what other people's experiences...
