Hi David,

Yes, the learning curve it very steep!

To help make it easier, here is a listing of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten. When you buy these products, you know there is nothing hidden in "natural flavors" or "spices". These are the good guys:

ALL Del Monte Tomatoes & Tomato Products are gluten free (BUT Del Monte Spaghetti Sauce Flavored with Meat)

It took me a while to know the difference between unhealed and a glutening. Anything I ate was a problem for a month or so. It's also recommended to give dairy a break until some healing can take place.

This is the greatest site for information around. Hope this was helpful.

oki.in a moment of weakness I just cheated by eating a bowl of Kashi Cinna.Raisin Crunch!!! I have been on this Candida diet for 6 days and was going to puke if I didn't eat something other than meat, veggies or nuts!!!

My headaches and facial pain have subsided for 3 days now but the energy level is horrible still. I am taking Probiotics 3 times daily and a garlic pill to help assist in the attack of the Candida.

Has anybody been on this diet and cheated? What side effects did you encounter? Am I doomed to fail again? Will this set me back? If you can't notice, I am feeling HORRIBLE AND GUILTY!! I am planning to resume the diet after this one lapse....

Thanx

Here is a Candida Diet Forum. Perhaps your question would be more likely to be addressed here.

If your concern is Celiac or a gluten intolerance, I don't believe that Kashi Cinnamon Crunch is gluten free.

Hope you feel better soon.

I have given my name and contact information if someone has gluten free needs through the Food Pantry. I haven't gotten any calls though.

You could contact your local Department of Social Services. They might know of a family in need.

or at least an opinion

Indeed

Hi pupok and welcome to the Club!

We are here to help you in manner that we can. The next few months will be a remarkable ride (for the better).

In the beginning, I would be as gluten free as possible to include your shampoo.

Talk about whining...

THE BOTTLE OF WINE

For all of us who are married , were married, wish

you were married, or wish you weren't married, this

is something to smile about the next time you see a

bottle of wine:

Sally was driving home from one of her business

trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly

Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped

the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like

a ride.

With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into

the car.

Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make

a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old

woman just sat silently, looking intently at

everything she saw, studying every little detail,

until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to

Sally.

'What in bag?' asked the old woman.

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, 'It's

a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.'

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or

two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder,

she said:

'Good trade.....'

Yes, symptoms for Celiac could very well mimic the need for antidepressants.

I have know several members here who successfully lost the need for such meds. I would certainly consult your doctor to make sure that you, physically and mentally, can handle this change.

Congratulations Elonwy and Lisa on your upcomming wedding. Planning is so much fun. (I have one to plan in August and one in October )

Here is great information for school age children. Hope this helps.

I know it's hard to turn over your child's health to someone else.

I don't know when this list has been updated, which is the negative side of lists. Product information changes frequently.

The good folks at the Dallas ROCK group compiled this listing, which has been helpful to thousands. If anyone has updates with more current product information, pass it on the them so they can update their list. There is contact information in this link.

This site has other valuable information as well.

Sounds like you have a very mature young lady there. Good for her.

Many members here have said that they react poorly to Frito/Lays products. Only Lays Staxx are producted on dedicated lines and are not subject to possible cross contaimination.

Hope you daughter recovers quickly.

Although this is a 2004 article, it still is a little disturbing:

I have a friend that is a diagnosed Celiac and has travel to some of the most remote areas of the world, where farming and harvesting has been done the same way for centuries. She is able to eat wheat products without any issues.

Thanks Mommagoose. How did you find it? (My new topic - Indian Spices)

Go to your personal profile page. It lists your topic and most recent posts. Just click on either and there it is.

It's hard sometimes when you forget what category you posted in. This option will help with that.

I think that these national organizations do a good job of educating people about celiac, but I do think some are ignorant of other gluten sensitivities. If they had responded that they didn't want to pass on the blog's information because they did not believe in gluten sensitivity, that is their prerogative.

Laurie

Laura, I am sorry for your family history and your loss. It, no doubt, has influenced you, as is understandable.

I am not certain that the Celiac National Organization chose to pass on the blog because they do not believe in gluten sensitivities, but differ in their approach to achieve a diagnosis. Endorsement requests from these national organizations are frequent.

Upon re-reading the information, it was the opinion of one personal whose organization was in affiliation with the national organization, not a national policy statement.

I understand what celiac disease is.

I don't understand your statement.

Your comments are not confined to celiac disease but "specially Celiac disease?"

I repeat my question. What is "specially Celiac disease?"

My spelling ability or lack of, was not meant to creat a concern. I have wonderful spell checkers.

What is "specially Celiac Disease?"

Celiac Disease Defined

What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease (celiac disease) is a genetic disorder. In people with celiac disease, eating certain types of protein, called gluten, sets off an autoimmune response that causes damage to the small intestine. This, in turn, causes the small intestine to lose its ability to absorb the nutrients found in food, leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications.

The offending protein, gluten, is found in wheat, barley, rye, and to a lesser extent, oats (WBRO). Related proteins are found in triticale, spelt, kamut. Refer to grains and flours Glossary for a more extensive list of both safe and offending grains.

How dismaying to think that a national celiac organization can be so ignorant.

I am one of the first to agree that testing is far from adequate. There is so much we don't know and the field of study is fairly new in the US. rinne makes good points, as always.

But the above quote concerns me. There are many National Celiac Disease organizations and associations that work in partnership with research studies to refine this disease to make our life better. To make reference to them as ignorant, is like biting the hand that feeds you. They have earned my respect.

Listed below is a SMALL indication of what they have done for us and continue to do so:

Here it is.

This statement, deserves to stand alone: (from the link supplied

We are affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation, and generally advise physicians and patients to follow the guidelines for celiac diagnosis and treatment recommended by university celiac disease centers, including those at U.C. San Diego, Columbia University, University of Maryland and University of Chicago. This approach appears to differ in significant ways from the one described on your web sites. For example, the use of Enterolab stool testing, and the dismissal of the intestinal biopsy as a misguided approach advocated by "several" clinicians, is inconsistent with our philosophy (8/26/08 entry in her blog).

While alternative approaches to diagnosis may prove fruitful in the future, we feel we will have the greatest impact in our local medical community at this time by using the resources of universities and peer-reviewed medical journals that mainstream physicians trust. We do, however, strongly support the use of integrative medicine in the treatment of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.

There is a great deal yet to be discovered about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, and I wish your colleagues well in the path they have chosen.

....ignorant?, I think not. Honest, forthright and open minded comes to mind.

Please keep in mind that these people are selling something.

I know people that will put up with that!!!

Anything for a pizza!
