    Herb-ox brand states on the label "no gluten" and "no msg". chicken flavor and beef flavor, both labels make the claims.

    Thank you, psawyer, for a clear, understandable explanation! That is most helpful.

    corn pasta is okay, but I really like Tinkyada pasta. I have not have any gluten symptoms as a result of eating Tinkyada pasta. It's as close to 'real' noodles as you will find. I am greatful for Tinkyada pasta!

    I spent 25 years(!) listing off symptoms to doctors. Not one of them even paid any attention to what seemed like a crazy list of symptoms that had no apparent connection to each other. I gave up trying to get any of them to listen to me. Then I decided to get a colonoscopy (because they recommend it when a person turns 50), and low and behold ---I have...

    I would use rice noodles, whatever kind you can find that you like. And Velveeta, maybe a little butter or milk, and a touch of parmesan cheese. make it "to taste", I like just a little bit of pepper, like tip the pepper shaker over the pot once and then stir to mix well.

    okay, having read most of this topic, thanks to all who are saying that their nails are getting healthier and stronger. It is good to know that once I have been gluten-free for a while I can hope for some improvement in my nail health.

    I too have noticed that people are extremely ignorant or just plain don't think things through. I wonder where they think flour comes from.... maybe it grows on trees... or it is mined from the ground.... The next person I meet who does not know that flour is made from wheat --I am going to ask where they think flour comes from.

    I have heard a lot of stupid statements and I was just diagnosed this past November. I like to tell them about Kinnikinnick Pizza Crusts -- I start by saying "even if I did not have to be gluten-free I would buy these pizza crusts, because they are better than any pizza crust I have ever had..." Also, maybe I am weird, but I have not found it that...

    Everyone is different. It is my understanding that there are a few ups and downs in getting used to the new diet. Personally, I have not had any bad effects, but that could change. I have noticed that I am more sensitive to some foods. I have backed off on some foods and will try to 'rotate' those foods back into my diet to see what symptoms are triggered...

    Kinnikinnick makes an excellent pizza crust for personal pizzas (it measures about 5 inches x 6 inches). I would buy these pizza crusts even if I did not need to be gluten-free --they are delicious!!! Also, check out the Amy's line of frozen foods and soups. Be sure to read the labels carefully though, as not all of Amy's products are gluten free. ...

    I did not have the 7 stages of grief. I skipped denial, because when they said 'gluten intolerance' I was not at all surprised. and I am really relieved because I have had symptoms for so very long (more than 20 years), and no doctor would ever even try to figure out if the symptoms were related in some way. I will admit, however, that I have spoken...

    I was diagnosed in November 2011, and I don't feel like it is that much of a struggle. I should say that I have been paying attention to my diet versus any symptoms I have -for many years already, so it is not new to me to 'tweak' my dietary consumption. There are days when I do feel like it is a struggle, especially when I have to eat away from home....

    I have found that I get have some symptoms flare up if I eat anything with whatever dye they add to foods to make them look more orange --like many cheddar flavor food items. I have been eating other 'Food Should Taste Good' chips (have not seen Cheddar flavor) and had no symptoms.

    These are most of my symptoms, the major noticable ones at least: Migraines in last 5 years Eye irritation, dryness, itching foot cramps, toes numbness in fingers and toes Swollen finger joints sore finger joints burning pain in shoulder joints burning sensation in back of throat with post nasal drip Very bad tooth decay starting at an early...

    Personally I could not have the endoscopy without sedation!! I have a very strong gag reflex. I came out of sedation a bit when they were removing the endoscope. It can be done without heavy sedation -I have witnessed that. It is an uncomfortable procedure, but I would have liked to be able to watch the video feed! Advice: Learn a relaxation...

    That sounds good, I will try it. Thank you for sharing!

    I have been working toward gluten-free and I am already experiencing sleep changes. I am not tired at my usual bedtime and stay up for another hour or later. Then I wake up at 4:30am and don't get back to sleep, despite trying to clear my mind and sleep more. On the positive side I do not feel as tired as I did when I was eating gluten at every meal. ...

    I went to this website: www.aubrey-organics.com just to check it out. When I entered "gluten free" in their search box several products, including shampoos came up. I don't know enough, as yet, about what Celiac's need to avoid and everyone seems to have different needs. Anyway, you might check out Aubrey Organics. I will admit that I think their...

    not exactly. I was diagnosed with Celiac just this past November. For many years I have experienced some odd sensations in my neck. When I turn my head slowly from side to side there is sound that I can hear. I have never described it as 'a carbonated soda being opened" but it is like I can hear the bones sort of crunching. Now that I think about, and...

    oh wow! thanks for this info! I am happy to learn that my hair may become healthier again!! And that my lifelong fingernail problems may end, or at least maybe on a gluten-free diet my fingernails and hair may get healthier! There is good news to be found in all of this! I was diagnosed just a couple of months ago, and am still struggling to get gluten...

    ARCHIVED Hair Loss!

    jeanzdyn replied to Asshhh's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    If celiac's disease or gluten intolerance means that the body does not absorb needed nutrients, vitamins, minerals and such, then I can see where hair loss could be attributed to Celiac's. I was diagnosed about 2-1/2 months ago. For about 5 years my hair has not been very healthy. A lot of 'breakage' of the hair, meaning that I have hair in varying lengths...
