Yes, I agree with everyone else.

If you see health improvement by going gluten free, then, by all mean continue.

And additional note, please make sure that you personal products are gluten free as well. This includes lotions, lipstick (gender related), toothpaste and shampoos. If you need some safe product information to start you on your way, please ask.

So glad that you are doing well.

There is a Flening's Steakhouse, 1855 Lindbergh Blvd. with a gluten free menu. Hard Rock Cafe, 450 St. Louis Union Station, also with a gluten free menu.

I also would like to welcome you to the board. You appear to be a delightful young woman.

Sometimes it is easy to follow the flow. And some times you need to step out of the forest to see the trees. I think that Karen and others have done that.

I think (yes Electra, I think ) that since your first thread was a little controversial on soy, it appeared, as others that have come before, with a hidden agenda. You did not give the impression of a typical "newbie", scared and frighten by being diagnosis with a disease that many have never heard of.

If, I in any way was rude or hurtful, I apologize.

Angie:

If you throw out some cities, I will try to look up some for you along the way.

Whoa...larrymac, I thank you for that information.

It is strange, what we put into our systems and don't even know it. Well, needless to say, the pecans are not going to be used. Uggg

Thank you for your research and your time. I am grateful.

Yum, that sounds wonderful. Anything is good with bacon.

Stand by

LOL. Yes there are quite a few.

hey is there anybody who's from canada here???...cause i really want to know...because i dont know anybody else who has celiacs...and its suckish...and getting really hard...anyway...i'm from Manitoba...canada

Stand by

Thank you, still debating whether it's going to end up in the salad.

Question?

Diamond Pecans lists ingredience as "Pecans, BHT (0.02%) in corn oil to preserve freshness"

Anyone know what BHT is?

Thanks

Thanks for the stories. It was my first laugh of the day, and it's 2:00!

We found one in a Boston cookbook - it's the real thing, but it's been in the over for over 4 hours. I'll let you know.

Thanks

Husband has to have it!

Looking for an Indian Pudding recipe that does not have to cook in the oven for 3 - 5 hours.

Looking for easy, simple and fast.

Thanks?

In addition, modified food starch, in the US is generally derived from corn.

wow I have been looking up the dangers and benefits of soy for the last couple of hours and I'm shocked. I genuninely thought soy was very healthy, but it seems as though there is a lot of evidence to the contrary. It seems as though soy can cause all kinds of autoimmune problems and although it may give you a lower chance of some cancers it gives you a higher chance of autoimmune type cancers (like stomach and intestinal cancers)!!

I'm glad I'm not fond of soy, but I'm sure there is a ton more evidence out there that supports both sides of the spectrum.

It sucks to live in a nation that allows marketing and profits to overwhelm us with the positives without giving us the negatives in the same clear fashion.

Hopefully none of the negative things I've read about soy are true!!

Angie:

This is a Celiac. com message board. You need to chill on your personal issues and your political stance. We are here to help people, not join people on a personal band wagon.

Alot of people depend on our recommendations and we need to be 100% in that. If you cannnot claime that, you have no need to post here. Recommendation are very serious. "I think" carried no weight here. We deal in facts.

I was curious if other were experiencing the same thing.

Over the holidays, I talked to a lot of people, that had heard that I was on a medical restrictive diet. Several people inquired. Most were well meaning, concerned and interested. Several others approached me and asked about the diet and said that they are going to try it.

"I have hear that this is the NEW diet and I am going to TRY it for the new year." (As is stared at them and wanted to throw up on their designer shoes)

I do think that dining gluten fee is on the upswing. Whether it be gluten related of popular request, I don't know how it's happening but as long as it's happening is all good with me.

I do think that gluten free dining , aside from those of us who require it, is a fad diet that is growing in strength.

I am curious if others have found this same response.

Angie:

There is a connection between Raynaud Syndrome. This is one of the "sideliners" of celiac. I guess I made up this word "sideliners" - you go about your business to be gluten free and sometimes the "sideliners" get you.

Sometime, your fingers or toes go white and loose circulation. They go white, loose feeling, then turn hot and burn. This may be a "sideline" to celiac, but not necessarily a symptom of celic, but also in association with.

I hope this will be helpful.

Chris:

Your Pizza description should be banned from this site. I drooled all over this keyboard.

But most of all, I am glad that you were able to meet with Mouse and Pete. This is good.

I am glad that you were able to get together.

Lisa

Char:

I am so glad that she is doing well and very glad that you are doing better youself. Moms of Celiac children are the best moms that I have ever known .

Lisa

I think that this is a great stride for companies to recognize their products as gluten free.

Many are doing this because we continue to call and e-mail companies for information on their products.

Continue on.

Thank you for posting this.

Chris

Of anyone, what is the exact name of the gene test. I would like to have my girls tested and hopefully they will agree.

Thanks, Lisa

I am a newbie and trying to still figure it all out. Are we supposed to have MSG? Or does it depend on how sensitive you are? TIA!

MSG does not contain gluten. Some may be sensitive to it, but it is not gluten related.

How nice to get such an informed anwser. Perhaps that will settle recent controversies.

Thank you for posting that.

Lisa

I drink Seagrams 7 and Canadian Club with no issues.

Surgery can certainly be a trigger for Celiac to kick in.

I am glad that you doctor thought enough to do a celiac panel on her. But, I understand that they can rule in Celiac, but cannot rule it out. It's refered to a false negative.

It should not take long to get her result back. Then you will know which direction to turn.

I wish you both comfort while you wait.
