    I'm wondering if anyone has found they have a problem with this granola. I was happy to find this as it is a good dollar or two less expensive than other brands and it tastes great. But starting a day or two after my first serving of it my intestines are totally messed up. It says "gluten free" but nowhere do I see where it says "certified" or that little...

    As i figured they would tell me at emergent care, it's a "virus." grrrrrr It seems that is the standard medical answer for everything. This just doesn't feel like a "virus." So I'll wait a few more days and if not better, I'll go back.

    Now day 6 I thought I was better, I felt better and did lot of gardening this morning, then came in to eat lunch and suddenly felt sick and the di came back. Very distressed over this. The thought of some food carrying germ has come to my mind many times but I am super ocd about washing my fruits and veggies before eating, always worrying about getting...

    UGH!! I am now on day 5 of diarrhea and am getting worried. Having dermatitris herpetiformis my GI symptoms with celiac have always been minimal. I accidentally got glutened earlier this year (didn't realize baking spray had wheat and was eating muffins in which the tin had been sprayed with this for about 3 weeks) and my rash which had been gone for ...

    It doesn't sound weird at all, but unfortunately I don't think I've had any new foods or prescriptions though it is hard to say cause it's been going on a couple years now and I can't remember what if anything changed two years ago. My two prescriptions haven't unless the inactive ingredients have changed.

    I kind of assumed it was a vitamin B issue and probably B6, but now after researching some more I see it can be yeast or bacterial. I have used bacitracin, cortisol and a couple of other things with no improvement. I decided to pick up some anti-fungal medication at the store yesterday but all they had was stuff to stop jock-itch. The only thing that...

    I have no idea if my vitamin B complex is methylated or not, and I honestly never even heard of this. It is a CVS brand, buy one, get one free, so I would assume it probably is the more common kind. I don't see anything on the label that has either of these words (but it is gluten-free). Vitamin B12 isn't even part of this pill. But I did buy another...

    Does anyone else have this? It has been about 3 years off and on for me. I thought it was because I was deficient in vitamin B so I started taking supplements. It finally cleared after a few months. Everytime i stopped the vitamin B, even for a week, it would come back. I asked my doctor and he said it looks like rosecea (stupid response, it does NOT...

    Hi Loverbug - yes, I've been down the scabies road and so have many others here. The dermotologist I saw insisted it was scabies because it itched so bad, he said dh does not itch (he was very stupid). My PCP's PA also said it was scabies. I saw another dermo and had a biopsy for dh but it was negative, too late I found out she biopsied a lesion, not a...

    RIta - I had poison ivy quite regularly as a child and can easily tell the difference. They both itch terribly but there are differences. DH will be symetrical and the blistering isn't as obvious. For me the majority of the poison ivy would be gone in a week but DH seemed to last forever. Also my skin was much more sensitive and inflammed with DH. They...

    Hi - I just happened to log in today! When I told the GI doctor I saw (which wasn't unitl a couple of years after going gluten-free) all of my symptoms, he said he was 85% sure I had celiac based on my symptoms alone. He said the only one that didn't fit was the rash BEHIND the knees, he said it should be in the front of the knees. I personally don't think...

    Hi - I'm wondering if you are eating anything that has the ingredients sorbitol or manitol or inulin. These give me terrible stomach and intestinal cramping and diarreah and nausea. They are right at the top of my do not eat list along with gluten. Edited to add - xanthan gum can do it also and unfortunately it's in a lot of gluten-free food as well...

    Personally I think if my dentist has sent me a similar letter 15-20 years ago I would have 1) not believed him for a second that I might have celiac and 2) freaked out cause it would be scary to get a letter like this. However, I will say that if he examed my mouth/teeth and then verbally told me his findings it would have gone over much better. He could...

    Thank you for the explanation Peter. I appreciate it.

    Adelaide - all the smarties candies I see say "smarties" on the bag and are wrapped the same cellophane wrapper thas says "smarties." So what I am wondering is are ALL smarties the same, that is do they all come from the same smarites factory, or are all smarties different, that is CVS smarties are different than Target smarties and they are different than...

    I'm probably dense because I really don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying if a product isn't made in a dedicated gluten-free facility it is or isn't gluten-free? If the label says it's processed in a facility with wheat is it safe to eat? Are my bag of smarties, which note that everything but wheat may be processed in their facility, safer...

    I just did a search on this and found lots of topics so I guess I'm bringing up an old subject. But most of what I read was a year or older so maybe there is some new info. Something is making me not feel well and it is either the Utz sweet potato chips or smarties I am eating. I thought the chips were okay because the bag says gluten free as well as...

    I'm talking about the candy, those little round pasel colored sugar thingies. Their web site says they are gluten free as to several other sites. But some of the packaging says they are processed in a facility with wheat etc. But other packaging says they are processed in a facilty with eggs, soy, etc, everything BUT wheat. It all depends on what store...

    Lola - You are not alone with your dental phobia, I have suffered this for years. You can check out dentalfearcentral.com It is a great website with a message board full of other dental phobics. I have suffered with terrible teeth my whole life. First extraction at age of 11 or 12, first root canal at 17, I have now lost count of the # of root canals...

    I have been feeling terrible all week, loose stools, abdominal cramping, yukky stuff. I have looked and relooked at everything I have been eating and I can't find anything that could have gluten. Everything is lableled gluten free or assumed to be gluen free (bananas, apples, corn, spinach, etc.) The only culprit I can think that may possibly be making...

    I used to bake up a fresh batch of bread every Sunday, it would smell so good and taste so good but those days are over . . . I think. Has anyone had luck with bread machines and yeast bread? I know there is one brand of machine that is recommended for gluten-free and it's kind of pricey but I don't remember the brand. I'm about ready to splurge though...

    Hi tinpins - I just want to say that your rash looks very much like mine did along with the scratch marks (I have some of my pics posted in the photo bank thread). It was the worst itching rash I have ever had in my life, like a combination of poison ivy, sunburn, chickenpox, hives - burning, painful (showers were terribly uncomfortable) and itchy, waking...

    I'm getting tired of trying to interpert labels and I doubt I'm alone in this . . . . . I don't go to Trader Joe's too often but stopped by today because I was in the area. I wanted to buy some nuts, cashews, almonds, dried fruit, etc. and ended up frustrated. Some of them have an allergy statement saying they are manufactured in a facility with wheat but...

    I picked up some of their gluen free granola recently only to discover that is is manufactured in a facility that uses wheat and gluten along with all the other allergens. So, what's with this? I can understand a food with wheat in it or one that is assumed to be gluten-free (for instance tuna fish) having this warning, but to have "gluten free granola...

    Am I the only one who has problems getting to the forum? I would guess that about 99% of the time I try I can not get here (yes, right now is the lucky 1%, I probably tried 25 times today and this is the first time I've had success). I will go to celiac.com, click on the forums button and after about 60 seconds of waiting I get a message that says the site...
