What's the deal with eating out at restaurants? Is it safe if they claim something is gluten-free? I usually ask them questions about sauces, and where it's cooked, etc. I was told corn chips at Rubios were gluten-free, but I had a rash after eating them. Found out they were made in a shared frier with beer battered fish. So, now I know to check...

ARCHIVED Synthroid

Update on rash/synthroid: I took out coffee, and most of the gas/bloating disappeared, but it reappeared heavily when I had Claritin D. Today, the rash on the back of my legs flared for the third time, with no suspicious foods/allergy meds present. I also got the same rash on my wrists, forearm and upper thighs in addition to the back of my knees. It burned... -

What's the deal with Synthroid? I'm on .025 mg and have just read it may contain gluten? Does it contain dairy? I don't tolerate dairy or gluten and am concerned. Are any thyroid meds gluten and dairy free?

I'm also becoming suspicious of corn. Does anyone know of an excellent food allergy specialist in Phoenix? Do I see a dermatologist for the rash to be biopsied? I'm thinking of removing corn too. Terrible pain today after eating corn. -

A friend whose son was diagnosed and then undiagnosed w celiac. Doesn't make sense but she keeps telling me to find out if I really have a gluten issue or if its something else. I don't want to eat gluten to find out. I have a healthy respect for what happens when I eat it. My nutritionist also said bc the test was a weak positive it could have been a one... -

Did I test positive even though it sad negative and weak positive? That part was confusing to me. It was an endocrinologist who tested me b/c I saw her for hashimoto's. I asked for the screen b/c I know that celiac, lactose intolerance and thyroid stuff is common together and I was so miserable. I'm still having some symptoms, but maybe it takes awhile to... -

Hi, I had a Celiac Disease Panel done over a month ago. Here's what it said. I am not sure how to interpret it: Celiac Disease Panel Endomysial Antibody IgA Negative t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 4 Flag High Negative 0-3 Weak Positive 4-10 Positive >10 It says endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten...
