    Wow, Elizabeth, that is great that you found that out! Its amazing how these little "tidbits" of information get passed along. I am sorry for the loss of your grandma.

    Agree with Chris. If it were derived from wheat, it is required by law to be listed. If its not-its safe from wheat.

    you might want to check out allergygrocer.com. you can search by allergen on there, including corn and gluten.

    A person who wants as accurate of a test as possible needs to continue eating gluten. If you get a negative, you won't "know."

    Welcome! It can be very overwhelming at first...we understand. Wheat in any form must be listed now on all food products. That covers natural/artificial flavorings, modified food starch, etc. etc. etc. So unless it lists wheat, it does not have it. This does not cover rye, barley, and oats though. These companies have a policy that they...

    Open Original Shared Link Dr. Green also mentions spleen and the vaccine.

    I'm reading "freakonomics" right now...its non-fiction, but still, a really interesting read!

    I also agree that Dr. Green's book is the best resource out there. LOVE IT.

    Chrissy: I am excited to hear him speak as well. I would love to meet him. Hearing his partner talk was so inspirational for me, so I can imagine its even better with him. My mom and I are going so I will take notes and post. Lisa---are you coming? Richard, I'm happy that you'll be able to make the conference and the 5k for Grace. She'll...

    It is pretty frustrating. I have had some positive experiences, but for me, the symptoms are so bad that it isn't worth it often. I would rather take my risk at a nicer place, where at least I can really enjoy the food

    Dr. Green's book is my hands down favorite. Welcome aboard...happy to have you. Let us know what we can do to help!

    Rachel: Food companies all have the same disclosure, but it is expressed differently. The Food Labeling Law was passed in 2004 and went into effect Jan 1, 2006. It covers the 8 main allergens: wheat (not gluten), dairy, soy, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, other nuts. Other sources are not necessarily required to be listed (i.e., many products...

    Problem is, that even if we took these steps, these steps weren't taken all day long before we were there. Contaminated gloves, utensils, (etc) have been used to touch all the things all day long. (Think of it like cross contamination at home...you can't clean everything, use a clean knife, etc and then dip into a contaminated butter that has had wheat in...

    cgilsing, If I'm not mistaken, is that the enzyme from Stanford? Hopefully someone can chime in more. Dr. Fasano's drug, AT-1001 has been in human tests since fall 2005 (at least). It stops the overproduction of zonulin, which keeps the "gates" closed, so that gluten doesn't pass through the barrier cells, and hence, stops the autoimmune reaction from...

    If they did gene testing, it is HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. They are the Celiac genes. They will be there/not there regardless of gluten intake. The full Celiac panel is (blood/serology) Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. www...

    Madi, Welcome to the board! I'm sorry you are having a tough time, but I'm happy you have found this resource. If you have only been gluten free for 4 months (and I know, it seems like a lifetime!) and you are eating out, you are probably still getting gluten. If you aren't worrying about cross contamination at all, you are still getting gluten. As...

    I've been to quite a few weddings/rehearsal dinners (and in them) and formal dinners post gluten free. I have three coming up this summer, as well..it is wedding season! If you don't feel comfortable with their preparation of food (which I completely understand), here's what I do: Briefly tell the bride/groom that you would like to attend but because...
