    The sauce I use is Pace Picante Medium, and I have verified that they are gluten-free. On the website they say they do testing for 20ppm every 6 months and that all ingredients are not CC with wheat. So it's not the sauce. I checked the cheese (we use Kraft and Sargento only) and Kraft is good. I'm waiting on an email back from Sargento. Why do you think...

    Mission Corn Tortillas...thought I was safe, but nope! From the manufacturer's website: "Mission® corn products are produced with 100% corn masa flour; wheat ingredients are not added to the formulation. These products include corn tortillas, corn tortilla chips, taco shells, and tostadas. These products are produced in plants that also process wheat ...

    Ok well I guess I'll give Canyon another try, with the loaf bread this time...

    But doesn't sheetrock have gluten? I'm actually serious here...lol...

    I tried Canyon hot dog buns. Worst thing ever. Texture was perfect but there was absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Are their loaf breads different? I'm put off of Canyon because of my bad hot dog bun experience.

    After I made this post I got to thinking again, because I was irritated about the whole thing. I did finally manage to dig up a phone number. Clear Value is owned by TopCo foods, so I found their number and called to talk to them. They said that allergen exposure may vary from batch to batch, and that I needed 3 codes to even ask about the particular product...

    I've been buying Clear Value sausage and there is no phone number on their food packaging so I can't call them. This mysterious company also has no website. What gives? Every time I eat the sausage, I feel fatigued and foggy brained. I'd like confirmation that their foods are cross contaminated... I emailed Winn-Dixie, which is the store that carries this...

    I'm still new to this. I was diagnosed a few months ago and I am only just now finding out that what I thought was a gluten-free lifestyle was in fact not. My hubby and I attributed the brain fog, fatigue, lack of energy, lack of concentration to carbs. I had always thought that carbs did that to me, but it turns out it was gluten. Hubby still eats gluten...

    Well then, Bob's Red Mill it is. Thanks everyone!
  10. Seeking2012
    I have read on this site that some people have gotten sick or glutened from Bob's Red Mill gluten-free products. Is this still happening?

    I've been reading about the condition known as Reverse T3 syndrome. This is a type of hypothyroidism that can alledgedly be caused by the body making too much Reverse T3, which then blocks the action of the active hormone T3, causing hypothyroid symptoms. Meanwhile, all the other thyroid hormones are within normal limits. Is this condition real? Have doctors...

    I always thought I was "Silent Celiac," but I discovered that I'm not as "silent" as I thought...I was just blaming the carbs for the foggy brain and fatigue when it was probably gluten all along! I'm still learning... So, I'm in search of a truly gluten-free cornmeal. Anyone found it? I just ate Aunt Jemima corn meal and I've got foggy brain, fatigue...

    I'm assuming that if one has Celiac, then by definition they are dealing with intestinal permeability unless they got their number down to zero. But why would carbs cause problems for my brain when fat and/or protein would not? What's the reasoning or cause behind that? I have read about the specific carbohydrate diet before but I'm rusty so I'll read up...

    The day after my diagnosis I was feeling pretty down in the dumps so DH took me to Marble Slab and I talked with the employee in there and he knew what Celiac was and said that someone who has Celiac works there. I was relieved and it greatly improved my mood. He said all the ice cream that doesn't contain cake is gluten-free. But I didn't think about the...

    I went to the Mission website and yep like another poster said those tortillas are gluten-free and on dedicated gluten-free lines. But I'm with you on the veggie wrap--I miss the green spinach wrap.

    Well, I have two books that I use to bake gluten-free and sugar-free from. I suggest you check them out; they have definitely helped me. There is an adjustment period though, as these things will NOT taste like conventional foods. But to me they're pretty good. I've modified some things too. The two books I own and have used so far are: The Joy of Gluten...

    Here's what eating white sugar, brown sugar, potatoes, rice, etc does to me: • Depression • Anxiety • Brain Fog • Inabilty to concentrate or think straight • Fatigue • Hypoglycemia symptoms • Irritability, poor mood, crashing • Bloating, water retention, and increased flatulence I don't know why or how that happens because I was tested for ...

    A lot of people don't know what Celiac is. And I can understand people who have that attitude. Non-Celiac gluten-sensitivity is not 100% proven yet in the medical science as far as how it harms the body goes. And gluten-free outside of Celiac is a fad because of the lack of scientific proof to back it up. So people think "Huh, what's celiac? Oh you are one...

    Ok so lets say we read the ingredients list and we found no wheat, barley, or rye ingredients. Great. But we know that's not the end of the story. So lets say we look for allergen information, and there is none. And again we know that our detective work isn't over. So lets say we then call the food company at the number listed on their packaging and...

    Exactly; that's why it's going to be dedicated gluten-free.

    My sister had really high numbers in the beginning and it went down a lot but then it stopped going down. We discovered that she was sneaking gluten foods from the fridge (she is autistic and we have to watch what she eats). So the entire family went gluten-free and anything that had gluten went into a special locked mini-fridge. After that her numbers started...

    I'm phasing out plastic completely in my house. Not only is there a chance it can hold onto gluten and other food particles including bacteria, but it also is unhealthy because of plastic chemicals that are also hormone disruptors. Plastic just doesn't belong in a kitchen. I am switching to glass. And glass is so easy to clean too. Cookware, you have to have...

    Thanks. What other thyroid testing is there to be done? On some other forum they mentioned an ultrasound but why do I need that? I'm sure it's extremely expensive. And I had a doctor friend review my test results; he said I don't have a thyroid problem because my TSH, T4 and T3 are all in range but I still do worry about my antibodies; that isn't healthy...

    Well, I got my bloodwork back about a week ago and yep, I'm celiac. Immunoglobulin A: 137 mg/dL. Reference: 91-414 Deamidated Gliadin Antibodies, IgA: 21 units Reference: 0-19 = negative 20-30 = weak positive >30 = Moderate to strong positive t-Transglutaminase IgA: 28 U/mL Reference: 0-3 = negative 4-10 = weak positive >10 = positive...

    I am interested in any logical, scientific explanation--especially conclusive testing--that can explain CFS. I wonder what, in your mind, consitutes a "qualified" physician? I read on your profile on a certain website that "Peter spent most of his career developing novel therapies for diseases in fields including autoimmunity, allergy, and cancer." I...
