  1. Thank you so much for your information. It's been very helpful. Yes, I'm sure she's getting some kind of cross contamination. Matter of fact I'm positive. Our kitchen at home isn't completely gluten-free. I'm still in the process of getting it that way. We really try by keeping one counter for gluten only!! The rest of the kitchen is all gluten-free...
  2. Please forgive me, after 6 months I'm still learning all this. Her Gliadin Antibody IGG , which I'm assuming is the DGP was 7 and now it's 8, the DGP IGA was 4 and now it's 7, (went up a little)? Both were "in range"?? The TTG IGG was 13, now it's 8, TTG IGA was 6, now it's 7. Hopefully that makes sense to you. The G.I. doctor was concerned...
  3. My 12 year old daughter just had her 6 month lab work done after being diagnosed with Celiac in March 2012. Her levels are still high. She's feeling MUCH better on the gluten-free diet and hasn't had any stomach aches, headaches and she is tolerating stress much easier. Why are the levels still high and should I be concerned even if she's feeling 100%...
  4. Question...Is Modified Food Starch Gluten Free? I've heard conflicting reports.
  5. I recently read an article that states preservatives in foods are not good for celiacs and they shoud stay away. I recognize that preservatives are bad for everyone. It's just another concern and wanted to get feedback on this.
  6. That's what I thought. Thank you
  7. I'm still so confused about Natural Flavorings and Carmel Color. It's in EVERYTHING!! Can anyone explain this to me.
  8. I agree with xjrosie. Why spend all that money on a lunchable when you can buy high quality meats/cheeses (Boars Head) and do it yourself. I'm sure the nutritional value is much better. I have a question about Zone Protein Bars. My DD used to eat the Peanut Butter/Chocolate one's before she was diagnosed with Celiac. I read the label and there's no...
  9. Thanks everyone. It seems to be getting better. She's such a trooper. And....the glass of wine does help Mommy!
  10. My DD has been gluten-free for almost 2 weeks now and her moods are all over the board. She's been very irritable. I'm not sure if it's hormonal (she's almost 12) or it's the gluten-free diet. She did the gluten-free diet for 12 days a couple months ago and was an angel, then we had to go back on gluten for the biopsy. Is this normal as she's adjusting...
  11. I thought Rice Krispies were gluten free. Am I wrong?
  12. Is the Kraft Deluxe cheese gluten free?
  13. My 11 year old DD was diagnosed in February with Celiac. Blood tests and Endoscopy were slightly postitive, but still positive. My DS, DH and I were all negative. My recommendation would be to keep your child on gluten and get an Endoscopy done if you want. I have noticed a huge difference in my DD since we have gone gluten-free. Her's is mainly behavior...
  14. Thanks everyone. This information has made it a lot easier
  15. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Now I can communicate with everyone
  16. I forgot to mention, I just lost 30 pounds on a fruits, veggies, protein and of course, whole grains. I hope I don't gain it all back eating no gluten
  17. Marshmellows, maltodextrin, and dextrin are ok? We don't have Kroger, only Publix. Maybe I can find those brands at Whole Foods Market? I haven't found a good bread yet. I guess I should start making my own
  18. I hope this isn't a stupid topic. I'm not realy computer savy when it comes to these forums. Is there a help button on how to navigate through our profile's and the forum's? I'm having a heard time understanding some of the "lingo" on the topic's and such. DD, DH, and more, what do all of these mean? Thank you.
  19. Hello everyone. It has taken me a while to set up my profile as I'm not real computer savy. My 11 year old daughter was just diagnosed with Celiac. She started having nausea and headache over her Christmas break 2011. Long story short, blood test positive and Endoscopy postive with no damage as of yet. Me, hubby, son are all negative. We are in the first stages of adjustment. Glad to b...

  20. This is all a great start! Thanks so much. I too want to go out and buy every cook book, but now I'm not going to waste the money. Lisa, you mentioned spices. What should I look for on the label? Is there wheat is spices? I have heard that carmel color and natural flavorings are something to watch. Is this true?
  21. We are in the first stages of turning our household/kitchen gluten free. Does anyone have any suggestions on a starter grocery list for gluten free must haves? Also, is it important to get new shampoo/conditioner, make-up, toothpaste, deoderant and any other personal items we need for daily use? I'd appreciate all the help. Thanks.
  22. Ok, we finally have confirmation. Blood tests, genetic testing are postive for Celiac. The Endoscopy isn't showing any damage or signs of Celiac as of right now, but may in the future if she continue's eating gluten. The doc is still diagnosing Celiac and wants her on a gluten free diet for 6 months and recheck blood at that time. Are the follow up visits...
  23. I'm going to make this short. My DD's blood work came back positive for Celiac. DH, myself and son are all negative for Celiac. The Endoscopy was done and the GI said there is absolutely no damage to the small intestine, looks very healthy. She has a tiny ulcer and a hiatal hernia, (don't we all). What does this all mean? She is still eating gluten...
  24. Thank you everyone. This whole thing gets easier (emotionally) the more information I get, and with the help of others. Thanks so much!
