    Rachel, thanks for the links to those articles. I've read so many articles over the past 2 years that I didn't think that I was going to find anything new to help me out. I posted some of your post from the other day regarding C.Albicans on another thread. I noticed that you were there the same time as me...probably to mediate I'm sorry about that...

    Yes, I know one for sure and apparently the connection may be made through the candida albicans yeast. There is a lot of research that has been available for a few years now that makes a correlation between the candida albicans yeast and an autoimmune reaction it creates that produces the gluten antibody triggering the same kind of damage to the villi that...

    Yes, sorry to both Chrissy and Ashley for inadvertently putting the wrong name in there. But yes, Ashley, please do forward my info on to your doctor and see what she has to say about it, because logically, if what she says is true, I should still be seriously ill. I am also due to see my GI next Thursday (who is considered the top celiac disease specialist...

    No he can't estimate something that cannot be estimated. He has no idea how much damage your body has already incurred and he has no idea whether you already have Celiac's or not. No not 'anything' is possible...an allergy cannot turn into celiac's if you don't have the gene for it, that is an IMPOSSIBILITY. So that's some research you did....People here...

    I went dairy free just after I went gluten-free almost 2 years ago, however I never cut out soy. I have had multiple blood tests and most recently (October) I had another gastroscopy to make sure that I was confirmed gluten-free. My biopsies came back and my GI said that they looked "better than normal". If what this doctor says is true, that soy triggers...

    What is he talking about "his patients that needed surgery???" Celiac's cannot be corrected by surgery, don't you know that? Apparently you still haven't taken it upon yourself to do the PROPER research on Celiac's to find out what causes it, how it can affect you, how it's diagnosed and how it's treated. You also still don't get that he CANNOT tell you...

    In Canada the granola is on top in a seperate, sealed container.

    Even way back in the beginning when I had no clue about any of this I knew it was aspartame in the gum causing the reaction. I never ate anything with aspartame other then the gum (which I didnt eat ) but I think the aspartame coupled with the MSG intensified everything. Rachel, that's what you posted way back on page 7 or around there I think....so...

    ARCHIVED Tim Hortons

    LL04 replied to Ronnie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Okay just for everyone's information I just called Tim Hortons and they said that the yogurt and berries is gluten free HOWEVER,she also said the product is shipped in bulk to each individual store where they open it and portion it out themselves into each individual container. SOOOOOOOOOO I would have to say that if you eat this product you take a VERY...

    ARCHIVED Tim Hortons

    LL04 replied to Ronnie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Don't forget a cutting board, use your own butter and any other food item that your family may feel like putting their own cutlery into after it's touched a piece of bread or other non gluten-free item (ex. jam, peanut butter, pickles, mayo, cheese etc....) I used to mark all my food but we found it just easier for me to take a door pocket in the fridge...

    I'm not sure why no one has replied to this..maybe you got your answer on another thread?? But just in case, I'll throw in my opinion for you. Every person reacts to gluten differently. I have uncontrollable body spasms, pass out and then have terrible diarrhea...why??? Who knows??? That is my body's reaction to the invader...Your son's reaction...

    I love getting to read everyone's posts This is great. I laughed out loud when Rachel said that she had nothing scientifical to say Thanks for all the info on the amalgam removal. I think that might just have to wait until I see what kind of dx I get for my suspicions about Lyme. I had NO idea that Lyme is a CHRONIC disease like celiacs. Am I right...
  13. LL04
    Yeah, no kidding he's not a doctor. That is definitely why you need to go to a real doctor and have him do the proper testing on you. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY this guy could know whether or not you have celiac disease without running the PROPER tests and he should NOT EVEN pretend to know it!! How does he know you'll end up with celiac disease in 5 years...

    Claire: Thanks for the info as well on bioSET. Rachel says her lady does go to Canada on occasion so she's going to find out where exactly the next time she gets treatment from her. This problem with doctors is so annoying but I guess when it comes to the medical profession, there are so many issues with the body that no one doctor could be an expert at...

    As I said my cooler is soft sided and collapsable too with a shoulder strap. We offered to take the wheels off it because they can be removed and the people at the security gate said no, that only coolers large enough to hold 6 drinks were permitted in the park! So you guys got in too with yours!!! I must have just had bad luck! I wonder if I would...

    ARCHIVED Tim Hortons

    LL04 replied to Ronnie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Okay, I just went to the Tim Horton's website and this is what they have to say: If I have an allergy, can I eat any Tim Hortons products? If you have a food allergy, please be aware that Tim Hortons products may contain, or have come into contact with, peanuts, nuts or other possible allergens. Tim Hortons is a bakery environment, serving baked goods...

    Thanks for the links to bioSET and to the CanLyme site. I actually visited the CanLyme site last night after posting here and I have at least 30 of the symptoms. I immediately printed off the list and drew up a letter to my doctor to go along with it that I'm going to mail in a few moments here, when I go pick up my kids from school. I don't know if Lyme...

    I really want to thank you ALL for all of your suggestions and info...Rachel, I think you could probably become a doctor with all the things you've learned from all your obviously painstaking research!! Okay, so these are the things I know for sure that I have had tests for and all have come back normal or not existing as a possible cause to my problems...
  20. LL04
    I've been reading these posts with MUCH interest for some time now as I have serious issues that no doctor can seem to find an answer for (although my family doctor IS committed to resolving my health issues). So I'm going to stop lurking now and ask some of you some questions regarding what these conditions all are and what all the testing you have done...

    I LOVE(D) BREAD!!! And I'm not kidding. For me the best part about a pizza was definitely the crust! I still love the smell of the bakery and and any kind of fresh baked goodies!! Seeing wheat anywhere doesn't bug me in the least and it's not because it doesn't make me really sick...when I ingest even the smallest amount of gluten my breathing becomes...

    My best friend since I was 10 is Japanese and born here but both her mom and grandma who live here came here straight from Japan in the 60's. Their house is a second home to me and being the kind of person who would eat and loved to eat ALL kinds of foods, I ate there more often than I probably ate at my own house. Her mom taught me over the years how to...

    I would write to Disney Land. I worked for Walt Disney World in Orlando and actully took classes every 6 months (3 hour classes) on keeping up with the latest in food allergies. However the hot water thing got started becuase people used to take the hot water and pour it directly into a babies bottle and then give it directly to a baby. At least that was...

    Okay, so we went to Disneyland in October of this year (well 2006) and found them to be extremely UNHELPFUL!!! I am a Celiac whose reactions are so devastating that I cannot eat out anywhere PERIOD. I took a bunch of food with me and a rolling cooler. First day we get to the security check point and they would not permit us under ANY circumstances...
  25. LL04
    But that is my point exactly, if you are eating in a restaurant that is not dedicated gluten-free then you must realize that their food MIGHT contain gluten so they should not be able to say in any way shape or form that they offer gluten-free items. So they should say that ALL their food MAY contain gluten because it MAY. They can can add to that however...
