Contacted Breyer's through their web site because for years now one of my previous favorite ice creams (Breyer's Blast Reese's Peanut Butter Cups) has not been listed as gluten-free despite there not being anything that ought to be gluten that I could see in the label. I wanted to know if I was missing something of it this was just a CYA issue on their part...

Saw them in the store, wanted to try them but didn't dare. This is the oh-so-careful reply I got when I wrote in: Anyone try these yet? Reactions?

I think those were the ones I just had recently. I was really excited by how well they mimicked "normal" preztels. (Sad I get excited over normal-tasting pretzels, huh?)

Oh, I never updated on this- I had mild anemia (and protien deficiency), other mild deficiencies typical of celiac (I forget them all), and low Vit D. Taking a Vit D supplement has helped tremendously, and I'm making an effort to get more iron in my diet. Some issues with fatigue have recurred recently, but I sort of suspect at least some of that is that...

I know egg beaters and Better n Eggs are gluten-free. Anyone have any info or opinions on store-brand/generic versions of these? Is it even worth writing in to the companies that would know this, or am I being paranoid? It's been awhile since I've been on here, so i suspect the answer is "yes, write in," and I've just become complacent, but I could...

SCAVENGER HUNT: Someone find the water product that has wheat, and report back.

EKG came out fine. We'll have to see how the tests from the blood draw end up turning out.

Thanks guys! We'll see how this goes tomorrow.

And as an update to the fatigue issues- they *are* actually getting better. It's at least partially contingent on stress, sleep, and diet, but *I'm* getting more able to recognize things like "Oh hey, I feel kind of down and moody all of a sudden because it's 11pm and I need to start heading home and get some sleep." (Knowing what "hungry" actually feels...

OK, so, I will ask for (or at least discuss): -full thyroid workup (not just TSH, which was all it was before- will mention AI/Hastmoto's concern) -Vit b12 levels -CBC -Vit D level (I'm assuming) -MRT blood test for other sensitivities (does this test tell you *what* you're sensitive to, or just *if* you are?) (additional, from Newbie FAQ): -CMP,...

So, first physical coming up since celiac dx. I could use some advice on what blood tests to ask for. There's some good suggestions on this thread already. Any other things to look for (vitamin deficiencies? other commonly linked AI disorders?) Thanks guys!

I'm getting the same thing lately... but I also live in an area where the major pollen season is underway. As in, some days, things left outdoors undisturbed turn YELLOW overnight. I'm cautiously optimistic that that may be part of it, for me anyway, seeing as I already know for sure I have environmental allergies.

Thanks guys- this is helpful!

So, it is actually taking it a bit far to worry about whether or not store-brand ground meat has somehow been cross-contaminated, I take it?
