    It takes longer than 6 days to heal from Celiac. It can take from weeks to months, and in a small minority of patients, longer than that. Gluten has to get out of her system, the damage has to be repaired, and then her body needs to replenish all the stuff that she has been malabsorping. From a great site: Open Original Shared Link Q: I've just...

    Rule #1: Do not be abusive or otherwise out of line towards other board members. Show respect for each board member, no matter what you think of their views. This is not a place to quarrel. Also, keep in mind that it is not a requirement for members to have Celiac.

    Lipton Onion Soup Mix is gluten free.

    Something that might help is this link Open Original Shared Link It is a list of companies that will clearly list any gluten (wheat, rye, barley, malt, oats). If you don't see it listed on labels of products made by these companies, then it does not contain gluten in the ingredients.

    FYI: The "regular" Doritos flavor (nacho cheese) is not gluten free. It contains wheat and has it clearly listed. Many of the other Doritos flavors are gluten-free. Thanks for the link.

    Patti----I LOVE your new picture! Is that in your new kitchen?

    This website has a list of companies that won't hide gluten. Any gluten will be clearly disclosed, so you don't have to worry about artificial/natural flavors, etc. Hope that this list makes food shopping easier. If you have a product that you are unsure about, you can always call the company to ask. Open Original Shared Link

    Have you had follow up bloodwork to confirm that your damage due to Celiac is diminishing? Are you under a doctors care and have you been evaluated for other problems?

    Peter, look what I started.

    Your doctor didn't run the full Celiac panel, which includes more specific/sensitive tests than were run. The complete panel that should be done includes: AGA IgA AGA IgG EMA IgA tTG IgA Total IgA. However, because you are on a wheat free diet, your results may skew to a false negative. The blood tests measure your body's response to gliadin....
