Rice Chex are now gluten free. They use molasses instead of barley malt extract.

My sister went to a different Doctor, and yesterday had a endoscopy and a colonostopy. They were thinking that she is bleeding in her colon b/c her blood count is 8.5 and her platelets are around 45,000. I went with her and the doctor said that she didn't look like she had celiac (this doctor was pretty sure that she had celiac) to the eye but he did take...

My sister got in to see another doctor and he is going to do the endoscopy on Monday, July 2nd. He said that Celiac is very hereditary . And that most of her symptoms are associated with celiac!! I'm so glad she finally listened to me. I about 100 percent positive that she has celiac. I never got the biopsy, because no doctor would believe me when I...

My sister went to a gastronalogist (sp) yesterday. She had blood tests about a year ago and they came back negative. She is suppose to have a colonostopy and he scheduled it for July 25th (I think), anyway I finally convinced her to ask him about celiac and that she wanted to be tested for it. He told her that the blood tests were about 99 percent accurate...

Yes, I am gluten free. Have been for about 6 months. My sister went to a gastronalogist (sp) yesterday. She had blood tests about a year ago and they came back negative. She is suppose to have a colonostopy and he scheduled it for July 25th (I think), anyway I finally convinced her to ask him about celiac and that she wanted to be tested for it. He...

My sister almost passed out at work yesterday, her Iron count went down over a whole point in one week. She is in the hospital today getting 2 units of blood!! Why are some people so thick headed, I told her anemia is the biggest symptom. She has too much faith in doctors.

I'm not sure what her counts are right now, they have been as low as 16,000. She has been to a hemotalist (sp) now she is going to a cancer specialist. Next week she is having a colonostomy. She has had a bone marrow done and they found nothing there. I'm afraid she will start bleeding internally!! Thanks for all your suggestions, she doesn't want to...

My brother was diagnosed about twenty years ago with Celiac. At the time they thought he had AIDS. They didn't tell him that if he has it, that there is an 80% chance that his siblings have it. Of course, they think it is rare!! Well, I started getting bad migraines after the birth of my last child 14 years ago. They weren't very often at first but eventually...

I work one day a week at our hospital emergency room. The cafeteria doesn't know what you are talking about when you ask if they have any gluten free items. My brother who goes into shock and can't breathe when he eats gluten was in the hospital about a year ago and his wife had to read all the labels on the things they wanted to feed him. He finally ate...

I tried this recipe last night and mine came out flat also! I was very disappointed, but we ate the dough. That's the best part.

My brother was dianosed about 15 years ago, his doctor is in Leavenworth, KS. His name is Dr. Diallo; I think I have celiac. I had negative blood tests, I don't need the piece of paper that actually says I have it. Have been on gluten free diet for a couple of months and Headaches have all but disappeared, brain fog is gone. I think my daughter has celiac...

My mom uses mashed potato flakes to hold it together. It's really quite good

My brother has been glutin free for years, whenever he eats anything with gluten in it his body goes into shock. His chest become real tight and he has trouble breathing, has to go to the emergency room for a shot. Now he carries an epi-pen.

Hello, I've been reading the board for quite sometime, but have never really posted before. My brother was dianosed with celiac about 18 years ago. At that time they thought he had AIDS, he was losing weight and really bad diarreia. They didn't say anything about getting siblings tested. About 13 years ago after I had my last baby I started getting headaches...
