    Hi and welcome to the board. There is a term SILLY YAKS and I think we know who they are here... Don't be embarassed about any questions here. As far as yeast being gluten free, it depends on the source. The yeast in your bread mix and sold for baking is safe. It's the nutritional yeast called brewer's yeast that is off limits. It is a by-product of...

    Glad you're feeling better. Are you gluten-free? The fatigue is a major symptom of being glutened. My fatigue can last for over a week from one small cross-contamination. Feel free to ask any questions here - none to personal or embarassing! Annette

    Did you catch that McDonald's stance is that they do indeed care about their customers. The proof is that they are complying with the federal labeling laws and letting people know what allergens are in their products. I hope no one falls for that load of supreme BS!! No, they lied to millions for years about what was in their food to protect their bottom...

    my hubby did the same. My problem is it is so hard for me to pin down my glutening because the reaction is rather mild and so much later, sometimes nearly 24 hours later. Well, no more Micky D's for me, period. No great loss, actually. Annette

    celiac3270, you're the greatest!

    You're still healing. It depends on if you are totally, 100% gluten-free (no hidden gluten-free in foods, meds or toiletries), how long you were sick and your individual healing rate. I'm glad you are starting to feel better. Give it time and don't give up! Annette

    Yes, and sometime you just have to give in and let things run its course. I have had headaches where I take too much stuff for the headache and then end up upsetting my stomach and then other things happen. Hope you're much better soon! Annette

    Mothers are like that - always keeping you guessing. Sounds like she's doing better. I hope she's in a good hospital. My mother keeps offering me food from her pantry - forgetting that after 9 years I still can't eat what she keeps in stock. Oh well. I guess they just can't see us as any different from before celiac disease. Annette

    Even the experts are in disagreement on oats. Some say that the pure, uncross-contaminated ones would be okay. Others say that the protein in the oats is so close in stucture to the gluten protein in wheat that it triggers a response in some of those with celiac. Not enough testing, blind testing, and double blind testing has been done yet to rule one...

    Loved your siggy!!! I have problems with mild UTIs whenever I eat too much sugar and stuff that's bad anyhow. Just my body telling me to be good, I guess. What the other ladies have posted here I've tried in the past and it works. Hope you're better soon! Annette

    I hate to say it, but what really REALLY matters most to these corporations is the bottom line. Period. And I'm sadly not really surprised to find this out. Annette

    Sounds like someone taking advantage of (and making money on)newbies. I've been around for awhile and this is a new one on me. It's one thing to have links for someone to click on of their own accord, but it's another if she's promoting a membership for info that she may have well gotten from this site or others like it! Stick with us, sweetie. We're...

    My kind of woman!! (But I have vague memories of being poured into the back of a friend's pickup truck to be driven home the last time I did shots)

    That is so cool! Thanks for sharing. I don't know why I don't shop at Aldi's more that I do, it's just a little ways down the street from Wal-Mart in my town. I will make a mental note to start shopping there more.

    I've read that in the US, it's from corn unless otherwise stated.

    I'm one who doesn't react right away to CC from minute amounts. It turns out that I do have problems with CC in the way of fatigue and a little brain fog; but it would be so minor that I would attribute it to work, family pressures and such. Since the labeling laws came out I've avoided products with the disclaimer, even though I would assume that the chances...

    Ok, beer, except gluten-free beer, is out. I never could drink beer (allergy to hops, probably) so I don't know if the gluten-free beer is any good or not. Any drink that is malt based is out. Distilled grain alcohol is safe, supposedly. The distillation process filters out the gluten particles according to different sources. I used to be able to drink...

    Have you tried the gluten-free diet? Has your RA dr. ordered the celiac blood panel? Just because you don't have the GI symptoms of celiac disease doesn't mean that damage hasn't been done. There are 200 symptoms of celiac and then there are those who are asymptomatic. If the bloodwork has been done, or if it isn't going to be done, why don't you try...

    Have you seen any improvement at all? Is your dh still getting exposed to gluten through toiletries or supplements? If she has tested positive for casein intolerance, then milk and milk products must be removed from her diet also. Enterolab has had nothing but positive responses from other posters at this site; many trust the lab a whole lot more than...

    I think you have a very good Rhuemy. Celiac is called the great imitator of diseases. It sounds like the supposed lupus hasn't acted or progressed like it normally should. And also, Celiac is closely identified with other conective diseases ie RA. People with untreated celiac have malabsorption issues and that is what leads to many misdiagnosis - the...

    Must have been a northern european in the woodpile somewhere!

    Be sure to check all of your toiletries for gluten. A lot of the lotions that promote soothing have oat in them. Quite a few have wheat, wheat germ or wheat starch. Did you get yourself a dedicated toaster? I now have one, a Christmas present from my MIL. And check ALL labels. Since the new labeling law went into effect I'm finding that lots of things...

    That's fantastic!

    Well, I think a lot of us look at gluten as if it's poison. And to us, it might as well be for all the good it does us. And it is hard to stay 100% gluten-free when the reactions are not noticable. But believe me, your body will turn on you at some future date and let you know you shouldn't have been eating gluten for lo, those many years. I ignored the...

    But now I'm hooked on the show. Those amazingly blue eyes of Hugh Laurie. Sigh.
