    Anemia is just one possible symptom of celiac. It is not necessary to be anemic to have celiac disease. Your doctor is misinformed An immediate reaction is also a commom thing. With an elevated tTg she has celiac disease and the biopsy will tell you how damanged her bowel is. Start her on the gluten free lifestyle. She will feel better but it may take...

    Has anyone talked to Bluebell about thier icecream products. Of all the companies I have tried to contact they are the toughest and thier website is of no help for product info. I want to know if thier dreambars are gluten-free. They are like creamsicles. Anyone know??

    Sjrogrens disease causes dry eyes and mouth. It is another autoimmune disease that goes hand in hand with celiac. There is a really good eye gel but it makes your eyes really goopey!!! It is great to put in before bed.

    Tingling could be alot of things. If it due to celiac it is probably vitamin B12 not being absorded. The skin rash could be dh. Get a biopsy. If it is dh you do have celiac and need to start the gluten-free diet. Get your B12 level checked. You might need to get a B12 shot while you heal. Hope you feel better.

    It looks like everything is in the normal range. Are you gluten free? The numbers don't indicate celiac but you could try the diet. Perhaps you are gluten intolerant and will feel better if you stop eating it. Good luck.

    Welcome, I didn't have ANY gastric symptoms. Mine were all neurological. Your doctor is misinformed If you had it when you were one you still do! Your kids need to be tested. I have a 4 year old who had no symptoms. I had my kids tested as a screen after my diagnosis, so we found hers early before any problems occured. Behavioral problems are...

    Thanks, I figured they were safe but wanted to double check before giving then to my 4 year old! She was very happy to have them again

    Hi Has anyone confirmed that Nestle push up ice cream treats are gluten-free?
  11. SueC
    Breads by Anna are great! Almost like the real thing.

    Tums are NOT guarenteed to be gluten-free. I would stop taking them.

    I can get it at Kroger and Target for 5.99. I think that is what it costs. Check some other places if they are available to you. Having said that a homemade pizza on chebe pizza crust is not as conveinent as Amy's frozen but it tastes ALOT better. Check out some other spots for Amy's though. I know I don't pay more than 6 dollars.

    This is from thier website. Pam is made by Con Agra foods and they will never hide anything. enjoy your Pam!!! "Original PAM®, Butter Flavor PAM®, and Olive Oil PAM® do not contain any ingredients derived from wheat products. However, PAM® For Baking is not gluten-free as it contains real flour, which is derived from wheat."

    Yeah it can be celiac related. I have had itchy skin for years. I have several different types of rashes, one of which is dh, and the others I just assume go along with it. Sometimes I will itch and there is no rash at all!! Most of it went away after going gluten-free but my ears still really itch. I get flare ups now and again but it is much better than...

    It is possible to see evidence of celiac during the endoscopy if it is really advanced. There are what is known as scalloping folds in the intestinal wall that is pretty specific of celiac. This is my understanding anyway. My GI doc told me that by looking at by bowel he pretty much knew what the pathologist would tell him.

    Blood work is accurate but the endoscopy will tell you for sure. How high were your levels? The endoscopy is no big deal at all! You will be given a mild sedative and won't remember anything. My throat was a little sore afterward but nothing too bad. I was back to work the next day. Don't worry about it. You do need to be eating gluten though so don...

    Anyone know if this is gluten-free?? It's a hot evening in Texas and a margarita would be really good

    I absolutely love your attitude . Welcome. This is a great place to ask questions and find lots of useful information. It has been a life saver for me many times!!! I hope you start to feel better quickly. If you live in a city with health food stores you may find alot of gluten-free products on their shelves. There are lots of baking mixes you...

    Here is a quote from Cepacol's website so I would take them....... and feel better!!! "Cepacol® Lozenges and Cepacol® Sprays contain no gluten, wheat, or grain" Hope this helps.

    I just received a palm pilot and am loading it with software and such. I am going to buy Clan Thompsons list but not sure which one to get. Is is worth getting a subsription? Are there that many changes in a year....? Does anybody find that the subscription is worth the extra money? Thanks for any input.
  22. SueC
    Hi Karen, Hopefully the prednisone will work for you. I hope they see lots of little villi standing on guard when your endoscopy is done. Is your tTg level still high? Did you want to trip the pizza guy? Good luck with your endo. Let us know how it goes.

    Dreyers website will tell you if any particular flavor is gluten free. It is stated with the ingredient list.

    First of all, find a new doctor!!! Anyone that ignores improvement when gluten is eliminated from the diet does not seem very bright...... However if you want an official diagnosis she needs to be eating gluten when testing is done. The alternative is to put her on the diet and if you see improvement as before, I say you have your answer. Sometimes you...
