    Has there been any celiac disease research regarding artifical sweeteners, like Equal or Splenda???? Could it be bad for Celiacs????? I use a ton of it: in my coffee and sugar free foods, diet soda...... I use it because I like to stay thin, so I tend to avoid sugar (sugar can be really, really bad for you (with or without Celiac) Artificially speaking...

    Thank you everyone for the helpful advice and information. Sure learned some interesting facts about rice!!!! I always like learning new things as I am a 4th grade teacher. Anyway, you guys really confirmed my suspicions. Im going to be more careful and really follow the WHEN IN DOUBT DO WITHOUT! mantra/motto. I used to follow that idea so carefully, now...

    Yes, as far as I'm aware, I'm completely gluten-free, for 7 years now. However, I suspect I am getting glutened all the time. Maybe Im too risky, because Ive had celiac disease for a while, but I try to "be like everyone else" and eat in restaurants where there may or may not be contamination. I try to be very careful though....even my family/boyfriend. ...

    Thank you everyone for your helpful input. I appreciate that people take the time to respond.....this forum is great! I have a specific question for richard. You asked someone if they are allergic to wheat in addition to having celiac disease. I'm confused. How could someone with celiac disease not have an allergy for wheat????? Again, thanks fellow...

    This may sound like a really stupid question (although as a teacher, I tell my students that NO question is a stupid one), but I was wondering if you inhale flour, are you getting glutened? For ex. Non gluten-free bread in a basket, sitting right in front of you, while eating with someone who isnt gluten-free. Or walking past a bakery, or the bread aisle...

    Hello!!!! I am broken out very badly on my checks (acne) and I get cyst-like erruptions out of nowhere. A big, red, angry pimple appears from nowhere....for example, the tip of my nose!!!!!!!! I see a dermatologist and do get creams--they dont work. I also break out on my back and a little bit on my chest. Plus, my nails are so short, damaged...

    Hmmmmmm......You made me think! Thank you for your info. I probably have that condition and dont even know it. Do you get the LGS from eating too much artifical flavors/coloring/fructose or processed food, for ex. rice cakes-plain or chocolate? Very interesting topic here, Would love to know more! Thanks

    Hello all, Does anyone know if the rice you get served in a restaurant has gluten? I think I am taking a chance when I have it, even though I always tell the server about my celiac disease. I just hate limiting myself so much, now rice, good ol rice isnt safe? Yet of course my health is more important, so if I shouldnt take the chance I wont Please...

    Hi! I'm just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this...... If I make tunafish w/mayo at home, is it okay to use Hellmans Light? I know for canned tuna, we cant have the ones in vegetable broth.....but there are cans of tuna that sound safe (for ex. starkist in water). Also, whats the deal with "Modified Food Starch" on everything? Im sooooo...

    YES, THATS TRUE. CHOCOLATE COMES VERY CLOSE THOUGH...... GOOD QUESTION YOU RAISED ABOUT GETTING TRACES OF GLUTEN----NEVER CONSIDERED THAT ONE BEFORE!!!!!! LOLOLOL I WOULD THINK THAT YOU COULD GET VERY SMALL GLUTEN THAT WAY....WHY NOT, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT??????

    Could you please send me information on how to buy those chocolate bars from Isreal (Elite). Do they make any other products that are gluten-free???? I love finding new products....it makes it so much easier to deal with celiac disease.....I hate getting bored or being addicted to one type of food.... Thanks!!!!

    Just curious.......does anyone drink coffee from Dunkin Donuts? I do, very often. Im wondering if it is really is safe to drink coffee from a bakery/store that uses gluten. Does anyone think it could be contaminated, just from being in a place with gluten?????

    mandigirl1 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Finally! I found a place that has a gluten-free Menu consisting of a whole bunch of NONGLUTEN food. The food is amazing. When it came to giving up my usual chinese food (at least 1X/week), after being diagnosed, I said goodbye to it forever. Never thought I'd be able to eat anything remotely similar to the foods I enjoyed: wonton soup, all noodle...

    How so??????
  19. mandigirl1
    I know that even a small amount of gluten in your food is dangerous. I would like to hear from you (since your the knowledgable 14 year old Celiac here), is it really, really true that one crumb can do so much danger, because if thats true, Im in trouble. This might explain why I always feel lousy. I eat out alot and take risks, thinking, So? What if the...

    Oh yeah, I just remembered, it always helps to keep a stash of gluten-free food, with you if you go out. I find that when I dont bring a snack I get ravenous, faint and very irritable!!!! My boyfriend always makes sure wherever we go that I have my chocolate rice cakes on hand. This does help. He knows if I dont have something quick I get crazy.........

    Where is the chronic infection in the body? Like having a whole body like flu or in a specific area??????? I also feel faint and dizzy and very hungry. I had that yesterday, during the day, and immediately devoured the closest thing to me, which happened to have been a bag of baked lays doritos !!!! Then a baskin robbins pistachio/mint choc. chip...

    Nope---never had a problem with blood if it wasnt associated with being constipated. I was always told if you have blood in your stool, it will appear brownish----not red. Also, you should immediately consult with your doctor about this. Hope youre feeling better soon!!!!! Its great that we Celiacs can openly (well, behind a computer screen actually...

    I'd love to know where I could get support for my ED (or more specifically Excercise Binge Disorder) online? I would put myself in a food "coma" from 1000s of calories in bad/fattening food (chocolate mostly) then run to the gym for 3 hours to "purge" the calories I consumed. I havent been doing that lately, but, the obssessive thoughts/behavior is 24/...
