Last time I checked, all of Mrs. Dash's are gluten free.

A lot of times the gluten free status of a product is easy to find. Google the name of a product and then type gluten free.

If you suspect gluten is the cause of your concerns. I suggest a full Serologic Celiac Panel. This is what you doctor should order:

Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

Does anyone have a list of the liquors that we are allowed to drink. I love Hennesy , Crown Royal and Patron.. Are these all gluten free.. Someone please help me.. Just like to enjoy a drink from time to time, and dont want to feel the tummy rumbling from it.. thanks

Remember that with a compromised digestive system, any alcohol is a solvant and harsh to any system. Also, your level of tolerance may have changed.

Enjoy

Continue to eat gluten and request, no require, your doctor to test you. This is the test: (all of them)

Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

Vitamins and makeup can contain gluten.

It might be wise to begin a food journal and document everything that you put in your mouth.

Revisit your med, vitamins, lotions, shampoos, lipstick/balms. And limit,if not eliminate your dairy intake for a while.

Have you had a full metabolic panel to check for deficiencies?

I like to find out if any items have wheat listed as an ingredient, observe the employees preparing the food, and then make a decision as to whether the food might be safe to eat.

According to the website MG provided, the crunchy tacos, tostadas, pintos & cheese, and the rice do not contain wheat. That would indicate the beef filling in the tacos are wheat-free.

I have had the crunchy beef tacos a number of times with no ill effects. Also the beans. I seem to remember reading that the shells, chips, etc. could be cross contaminted in the frying process. That may be eroneous, or maybe it was Taco Bueno, I don't know. Yeah, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was. That's why I stopped eating at Taco Bueno. Although, I had many times before that with no ill effects.

best regards, lm

You may also note lm, on the right columnm (pink) indicates that most, if not all, items listed contain ingredients that might cause a sensitivity to gluten = cross contamination CYA statement.

I can "feel" the flurry of posts coming in as I write.

Celiaclisa,

Whether or not you share an opinion posted, other opinions are treated with respect here. This is Board Rule #1. Even with translated English, I would urge you to choose your words is bit more carefully.

Thanks you.

Sign me up. I just want to be able to eat like a normal person. How soon until this is coming to the states? Thanks to who ever wrote this

I eat like a normal person, but without gluten. You'll get there too Valerie.

So you don't think it's the goose that laid the golden egg?

Nope, I wouldn't cross the road

(my attempts at some humor, is not meant to disrespect anyone, especially Ryan who first posted this information. It's always good to know what's going on around us. Thank you Ryan for posting.)

I wouldn't count your chickens before they are hatched. Or put all you eggs in one basket.

No, I don't have much faith...nope.

I was diagnosed through Enterolab and don't have an official Celiac diagnosis.

I assume you mean that your tests results through Enterolabs were for a gluten sensitivity. Enterolabs cannot/does not diagnose.

Not to dig up old bones here, but I have never seen an independent study as to the accuracy of Enterolabs stool testing.

Hi Ryan and an early welcome to the US!

Janet beat me to it. Bev (Mtndog) is familiar with those parts. Cape Cod, a hardship post, no doubt . Boston Center?

I did not watch the show, but so glad it was mentioned.

I don't believe that your testing was comprehensive enough to diagnose Celiac.

My bottom line

Well said, Deb.

ditto

Val,

I am so please that you are feeling better. You have found a support system no better, than here.

I would make sure that you have your blood work done, routinely as you travel through the diet. Some of your numbers were mighty low. I don't often recommend a nutritionist (I never went to one) but in your case, it might be a good choice. It will help you get on track with good foods.

Another great book is Dangerous Grains, by Dr. Peter Green.

Buy the Triumph Grocery Guide and make this site your new best friend. Everything will look up from then on.

Hugs, Lisa

i also feel that there are a lot of companies making fairly significant $$$ off of vague promises to 'genotype' individuals and identify 'genes' for a variety of diseases. mostly, these are crap. there are many clinically relevant and important genes that cause diseases among families and there are 'tried&true' genetic tests for them. unfortunately, celiac disease is not one of them (then again, neither are many of the terrible diseases that afflict humankind).

gfb1,

Welcome to the Forum! I have enjoyed all of your recent postings. It's refreshing to find "fresh" information here.

I am most interested in this quote, as it confirms my undocumented assumptions. I warn you though, you may generate some emotional responses. One of these companies, that you noted, has a very loyal clientele.

Once, again welcome.

I'm not trying to start up yet another debate (I don't eat fast food anyway), but this recently came across my e-mails....has anyone seen it?...is it valid?

Lisa, this looks similar to a very old article with a current date, or people just like to continue to sue McD's over the same old issue.

All ingredients are disclosed, even though some have been tested and determined safe for Celiacs to consume.

Valerie, so glad that you found us.

Measurement of DGP antibodies should be a valuable adjunct to current serologic panels for diagnosing celiac disease, particularly in those situations where EMA and/or TGA results are unclear. Furthermore, the DGP IgG assay, like the TG IgG assay, may prove useful for diagnosing celiac disease in individuals with IgA deficiency (5, 10). Identifying this small subset of celiac disease patients is a challenge, since sera from these individuals are falsely negative for EMA, TGA, and presumably DGP IgA. Further studies are needed to explore this hypothesis.

I would continue to consume gluten and have the FULL Serologic Celiac Panel:

Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

If you choose not to test further, go on a total gluten free diet. A positive dietary results will indicate a gluten allergy, sensitivity/intolerance or Celiac Disease. I don't believe that your testing was comprehensive enough to diagnose Celiac.

Never the less, attempt the diet and with hope you will feel better and eliminate potential, more serious, conditions in your future.

Yola, here is another thread on "oil pulling":

I think this is a GREAT idea.

Give it a go. You need to address Scott Adams, Administrator/Owner and convince him.

This is a little too medical for me, but I like the bottom line:

Pregnancy therefore results in the acquisition of cells with stem-cell-like properties that may influence maternal health post-partum. Rather than triggering disease, these cells may instead combat it.
