I never really had much heartburn before my diagnosis of Celiac and consequent dietary changes. But since then, I have discovered Udis, Van's, Canyon Bakehouse, and many other gluten-free brands. About a year ago I began eating 2 waffles every day, 7 days a week with my breakfast. The waffles I was eating were Nature's Path and Van's, both which use very...

Yes. I don't understand why everyone else seems so lax on their CC standards here. Why did I bother to even make this thread? From Open Original Shared Link I also have different colored sponges. Mine are blue and hubby's are yellow.

I'm one of those 90% neurological and 10% GI people. Like you, I have tingling, numbness, etc in the extremities, headaches, dizziness, clumsiness, random pains in my body including ankles, but these symptoms are present even now that I've been gluten-free for over a year. Of course, they were worse when I was eating gluten (especially dizziness, clumsiness...

True that the water on the inside is not CC. However, as I said, I like certain things to remain un-CC because my water jug is one of those things that I use to prepare my food. I use it in cooking and in refilling my water jug. If it was a "glutened" object, I would have to segregate it off from my other gluten-free items and treat it like one of my husband...

I don't believe I overreacted. I believe he CC'ed my jug and I will bleach the handle when I get home. I like certain things to remain free of CC because I wash my hands enough as it is, you know, over 100 times per day, and especially when preparing my own food and when about to eat my own food. Had I been in a great mood this morning I may have laughed...

Actually there shouldn't be any doubt whatsoever that CC has occured between the wheat bread to his hands to his phone to my jug. And I don't eat in public much, in fact rarely. There are fewer than 5 restaurants that we go to, and every time we go, I realize there is a small chance of CC and I have to accept that when we eat out. But first time I get sick...

I have my own water jug filled with filtered water and I refill my water bottles with it. Our fridge has been so packed full lately that I haven't had any room in the fridge to put my water jug, so I left it out on the counter. It is labeled "gluten-free," which hubby knows means gluten-free. Well I told him this morning that there was no room for it in the...

Oh god, the King Arthur recommendation was from heaven. Thanks everyone!!!!

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I've been getting better at avoiding accidental glutenings. I pretty much eat within certain strict brand names of foods and I don't go outside those brand names. I'm careful when I try a new brand. They key is being strict! But a few days ago I took a chance and ate some black eyed peas that were just the normal store...

Put them in the oven at 400 degrees F for 7 mins. Wala. That's what I'm doing at the moment.

Where do you get your gluten-free pizza meat toppings?

Just email or facebook your relatives a list of safe brands (Bob's red mill gluten-free, Udi's, Dove, etc) or ask everyone to not give food as gifts.

I'm one of those Celiacs who never gets gastro symptoms; for me, they are all neurological. During an accidental glutening, I get intense fatigue, brain fog, sleepiness, inability to concentrate, a strong need to nap, tension headaches, etc. All of these symptoms make me useless and its basically a waiting game until I can crawl into bed. Thankfully, I work...

Reporting back with nothing to report. So far, I have found a whole lot of nothing. This is unacceptable. I will continue looking.

I am determined to find an answer. I shall keep looking. I've contacted several organizations and will be getting in touch with Dr. Alessio Fasano's office on monday to see if they know of anything. I know about his medication for blocking the effects of zonulin but I'm not about to go on medication for the rest of my life. I need something that can be taken...
