I was diagnosed with celiac in 2001 by colonoscopy, and immediately went gluten free. Can a colonoscopy give a false positive? I've never had any confirming blood work. I'm wondering if I should gluten up and have a complete celiac blood panel. I ate at Burger King a few month ago with no celiac symptoms. I'm currently thinking lyme disease based on my current and long term(3+yr) symptoms.
Celiac can be diagnosed in three ways to date; 1) endoscopy/biopsy of the small intestines 2) positive blood work, and 3) positive dietary response.
I don't know what your doctor was looking for, but it wasn't Celiac. Celiac Disease can not be seen in the large intestines. Perhaps, you meant Endoscopy Exam.

I have seen this before, but certainly not often. Shame on P&G. That response is worthy of a boycott (from me).
Neutrogena have a very extensive listing of gluten free products and they have a good attitude to boot.

Here is a listing that might be helpful.
Take caution for cross contamination at a fast food restaurant or any restaurant for that matter. Eating out is your responsibility.

I can't answer that question, but I know that Campbell's Canada and Campell's US have a totally different product listing for gluten.
As I mentioned before only Chunkey Chicken Broccoli Cheese and Select Savory Lentil are gluten free soups from Campbell's US.
You are smart to call or to e-mail the company.

Positive blood test and positive biopsy are diagnostic for Celiac. A negative results of these test cannot rule Celiac out. A biopsy can be hit and miss and is not considered a 100% diagnostic test, only if positive results.
Positive dietary response is also a diagnoses in itself. So, yes, with positive blood test, you do have Celiac. Welcome to the club.
PS: you might want to get a copy of the blood work that your doctors ordered and some people here can help to interpret the results.

In lieu of my usual confetti for milestone posts, I made you a foot to kick the ex and the former MIL in the but, far away from your daughter.
Ooooo

Congrats on 5,000 posts!!!!!
I'm not quite sure whether is a congratulatory post of a sad state of affair.
Thank you for your good thoughts, though. -
The tumbleweeds are blowing through Sillyville........
.......hopefully blowing over to my daughter's former mother-in-law's house, with hideous, putrid fluids on my 5,000 post.

There was a study submitted by a member here stating that long term use of antacid's prohibited the absorption of Vit D and specifically B-12. Wish I could put my hands on it, but it came from Nancy, I believe in her cardiac file.

I'm looking for a group in Racine, WI for myself and my daughter. Does anyone out there know of any?
Thanks!
Here is a link to some Wisconsin Support Groups: If they are not close, they can point you in the right direction.

This is the best support you can find right here. Welcome

The listing that I have indicates Chicken Broccoli Cheese and Savory Lentil are gluten free - nothing else. It is a 2006 listing and I have nothing current.

Ciao!
Anxiously awaiting your report from Milano. No room for me in your bag, huh?

Welcome!
I remember when I first arrived here. So many people were here to hold my hand and help me through the world of Celiac.
I hope you feel at home here and if we can help in any way, please ask.

Happy Birthday Donna and to the others celebrating birthdays today! May all your wishes come true.

Here is a current listing of Tropicana Product and their allergens statements.
I suspect that your reaction was due to the restaurant and not the juice. I hope you feel better soon.

Here is a great allergen site for Pepsi co products. Just choose a category of products.

The Truimph Dining Guide can also be purchased through this site. (I tend to forget

I don't have DH, but I would put him on the diet immediately. I have heard people say that within several days, they noticed some relief. If it clears, you will know if he has Celiac.
Or you can have him biopsied at the point of outbreak.
Try the diet for a few weeks and see what happens. I hate to see little people struggle.
-
Has you doctor take a Metabolic Panel? That to me would be the first place to start. It may show some direction to your issues.

I would not rely on a listing that is from 2006. Things change quickly.
I have the Truimph Dining Guide and have used it many, many times. I highly recommend it. Every year there is a new edition.
Have a look:

Thank you for your good thoughts, though.

Depends on what not feeling well means. If she ate something that she shouldn't have because of her Celiac Disease, here is a list of some gluten free meds. If her tummy is upset she can have some apple sauce, rice, bananas.
Sometimes you just have to ride it out. Hope you can reach the mom soon.
