This invitation seems to say that Dr. Fine is announcing publication of his research, but it is alittle vague on this subect.

Yes, vague. It seems more like a promo for his band, rather than for his research.

This tread is over four years old. And yes, Seagrams 7 is considered safe for Celiacs to consume.

Here are some changes in the gluten free status of products published in their Guide 2008/09 and . This is the downfall of Lists. Products can change without warning. I applaud Cecelia's for their diligence in updating their Guide, post publication. Learning to read lables will never fail you.

The 2009/10 edition is out . Please note the 10/09 corrections

HERSHEY

I switched to Inglenook blush boxed wine without a problem (hearing boxed is safer due to flour paste seals on barrels in some wineries)

I have never seen any substantial source to support this theory.

Sometimes, ya never know what can make you feel ill. I react to red wine with beef, as does my non Celiac husband, but it's not a gluten issue.

Alcohol serves as a solvent in your body. It can be very harsh on a compromised digestive system.

Until you get the hang of label reading, I would like to recommend two published grocery guides.

Triumph Dining Gluten Free Grocery Guide

Cecelia's Market Place Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide

www.CeceliasMarketplace.com

Both can also be found on the Gluten Free Mall on this site, and they list over 30,000 common grocery items.

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about two months ago and am doing fine. I just had soy beans today and an hour later my stomach feels like it is bloated like it did before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. What are symptoms if you are allergic to soy too and does it cause the same damage that gluten does?

Here is a quote from a page I can't copy:

Open Original Shared Link

Although villous atrophy is not exclusive of celiac disease, it is considered a crucial finding. Other causes of blunted villi include tropical sprue, malnutrition, intolerance to cow's milk, soy protein intolerance, and infectious gastroenteritis. However, most of these conditions can be readily excluded on the basis of clinical history and laboratory data.

Many people here have issues with soy as well.

Also, your reaction time can vary the longer you are gluten free. Some times it hard to pin point a problem.

The research organizations recommend 3-4 slices of bread or equivalent for 6-8 weeks.

If you are miserable, you might want to discuss with your doctor other means of diagnosis. A positive dietary response can be a diagnostic coupled with common symptoms. Gene testing is available. It won't tell you if you have Celiac, but it can tell you that you are not genetically predisposed to Celiac or other autoimmune conditions.

....I am not deprived

I would suggest that you be tested, first, by conventional means. Experimenting with partial avoidance cannot be successful, should Celiac be your issue. The gluten free diet must be absolute for an extended period of time.

This is the Serologic Blood Panel to request from your doctor:

Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgG and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

I have had a chance to see CELIA's Market Place Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide 2009-2010 Edition and it's pretty good. It also contains some non grocery items. You can find it on the margin advertizing here on C.com or on the Gluten Free Mall.

Here is an American reference, with ingredient listing:

If I recall correctly from past threads, Centrum would not confirm nor deny their gluten free/or gluten status due to the changes in their suppliers. Which is a statement that we find more and more. My above post would certainly be the more recent.

Could you post your blood panel results here. I'm not sure what you doctor is referring to as "moderately elevated". Depending on what test he was refering to, a positive result is a diagnosis for Celiac. And coupled with your symptoms, (which can be over 200 known symptoms), it looks likely.

2. Is Centrum gluten-free and is it safe for people with celiac disease to take?

Yes, Centrum is gluten-free and suitable for individuals with celiac disease.

This appears to be the current information on their website.

From what I understand, anything with the words "rapid release" are off limits in Tylenol. Thank you for the reminder though.

I am not sure about the "rapid release" information, but here is a list from www.glutenfreedrugs.

Tylenol allergy sinus caplets, maximum strength

Tylenol Arthritis Pain Extended Relief Caplets

Tylenol cherry suspension infants drops

Tylenol chewable fruit burst flavor tabs

Tylenol Childrens Susp Grape Liquid

Tylenol cold multi-symptom plus cough chewable tab

Tylenol Cold Plus Cough Chew Tab

Tylenol extended relief caplets

Tylenol extra strength caplets

Tylenol extra strength liquid

Tylenol extra strength PM gelcaps

***As with all lists, it's good to verify with a second source, to insure your infomation is up to date.

I made relatively healthy pumpkin muffins with the yellow cake mix. I substituted the butter with pumpkin and they are so moist!

Yummy! This is on my short list too!!!

I got this recipe from a lady in front of me at the check-out line at Walmart. I noticed she had all these ingredients, was curious, and just asked her what she was making (I know I do weird stuff like that).

Here is some additional food for thought:

B Vitamins Beneficial for Celiacs on Gluten-Free Diet

Celiac.com 04/15/2009 - A recent clinical study has shown B vitamins to be beneficial for celiac sufferers following gluten-free diets. Vitamin deficiency and less than optimal health are common problems for people with celiac disease, even those who faithfully follow a gluten-free diet. Common problems associated with long-term celiac disease include general malaise, and less than optimal well-being.

To better understand the benefits of supplemental doses of B vitamins for patients with celia disease, a team of researchers recently set out to evaluate the biochemical and clinical effects of B vitamin supplements in adults with long-term celiac disease. The research was made up of doctors C. Hallert, M. Svensson, J. Tholstrup, and B. Hultberg.

The team assembled a group of 65 adults with celiac disease for a double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial. 61% of the group was female, and each had followed a gluten-free diet for several years.

For 6 months, patients received daily doses of either a placebo, or of B vitamins in the amount of 0.8 mg folic acid, 0.5 mg cyanocobalamin and 3 mg pyridoxine. At the end of the trial period, doctors gauged vitamin effectiveness by measuring psychological general well-being (PGWB), together with total levels of plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), a reliable indicator of B vitamin status.

In all, 57 of the 61 enrolled patients completed the trial (88%). Baseline tHcy levels for these patients averaged 11.7 micromoles/L (range = 7.4 to 23.0), which was markedly higher than the 10.2 micromoles/L for the control group (range = 6.7 to 22.6) (P < 0.01).

After the B vitamin treatment, patient tHcy levels dropped an average of 34% (P < 0.001). Patients experienced substantial improvement in well-being (P < 0.01). Even patients who initially reported poor well-being showed notable improvements in Anxiety (P < 0.05) and Depressed Mood (P < 0.05) .

These improvements, the normalization of tHcy levels, together with the substantial increase in well-being, led the research team to conclude that people living gluten-free with long-term celiac disease do indeed benefit from daily supplemental doses of vitamin B, and that doctors should consider advising the use of B vitamins supplements for these patients.

Jason, I just googles Gluten Free Dining in Paris and I got lots and lots of hits. I don't know if you're in Paris or not, but give that a try.

Europe is so much more progressive that in the US. You should have no problem. Do you have dining cards. They are basic items to have when traveling.

There is no reason to starve to death.

Also, does anyone recommend that MYCeliacID genetic test that is like $369?

https://www.celiac.com/articles/21853/1/MyC...ting/Page1.html

MyCeliacID is based on proven science. People who have celiac disease are known to have a distinct sequence of genes. By testing DNA isolated from a saliva sample, MyCeliacID can show whether or not a person has that genetic sequence. If they don’t have the genes, they are highly unlikely to develop celiac disease in their lifetime. If they do have the genes, and have symptoms of celiac disease, they should consult a doctor. Only a doctor or other qualified healthcare professional can diagnose celiac disease..

I have no experience with this test and can't recommend.

I HAVE ASKED QUESTIONS BEFORE AND DID NOT GET A RESPONSE SO MAYBE SOMEONE WHO READS THIS WILL BE KIND ENOUGHT TO ANSWER. WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU HAVE 2 0301DQ7 GENES? SHOULD I HAVE THE DQA1 CHECKED TO SEE IF ITS RELATED TO 0505.

Here is some information on gene testing:

https://www.celiac.com/articles/21567/1/Ten...ting/Page1.html

These are the tests to request from your doctor:

Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

Make sure that you are on a full gluten diet, until all testing is exausted. Enterolabs can test you for sensitivites, but they cannot diagnose for Celiac.

Good luck an take a walk around this place. It's full of wonderful information.

Any books anyone would really recommend to help with coping and getting on the right track?
