I know this won't happen bc he is totally anal retentive about how he wants his laundry done. If I tell him that he has clothes in the dryer, and if he wants them unwrinkled, then he'll pull them out right away. He refuses to iron and I WILL NOT iron his clothes. Not doing his laundry would actually help bc his clothes make up about 1/2 of my loads. It's rediculous!! It's worth a try...

YES, by all means....give it a go if it could work for you! My husband will do his own laundry and then let it sit for days, and days, but he said he needed these clothes.......true confessions, aren't we?

WELL! I might as well jump in there too!

Not a fan of the "do your own laundry" idea. Not that it's a good idea...but throwing clothes into a washer adding soap and them tossing in the dryer, is an easy thing to do. But, when those clothes sit in the dryer for three days, holding up the entire production line.....is a Pain in the Arse. MY control-freak-status would be on shaky ground.

UNLESS......if that's the case, you should pile up the rest of the families clothes, divide into loads and let them pile up in the laundry area.....waiting for him to take out his clothes AND fold the wrinkles out of them. :rolleyes

But, in all reality...sit down and talk to Chris. You reclaimed it ounce, you can do it again, if you choose. Men are stupid, sometimes. They need reminders that what they cherish most can be lost if it's not cared for. xxxooo

Do you get dh from eating gluten, or will just touching it and touching your face bring it on?

I don't have DH, but will attempt an answer.

Yes, you can get a DH break outbreak from ingesting gluten. A gluten "allergy" can trigger some topical reactions. Touching something with gluten and putting your fingers in your mouth could trigger a DH outbreak.

Some people do have Celiac Disease as well as a gluten allergy.

Hope this helps.

I wanted to ask....How was Dr. Phil & Staff to work with?

Carmel (or Color) is not a gluten concern.

This might help, it was updated 9-2011

Tabz if finding all the old stuff

In six or seven years, I have yet to find a packaged gravy or sauce that I would put on my food. Need to work on that.

smuckers ice cream topping carmel is safe

Thanks Tabz ... Smucker's is a GREAT company, just read their labels.

I did want to point out that this thread is over seven years old. Information that is dated on this site may not be accurate.

Stools can reflect the color or the previous meals consumed. But, if the pale stool continue for several days, I would contact her Primary Doctor, especially if other symptoms are involved.

I'm sorry but I don't know your history with or child. Do you have a diagnosis for Celiac? If so, you might want to eliminate dairy for several weeks until some healing can take place. Most times, you can reintroduce it slowly and successfully.

There are several milk alternatives.

I like Mary's Gone Cracker's, with brown rice, whole quinoa, flax seeds, sesame seeds, amaranth, millet and chia seeds. The best as long as you have good teeth.

....this made me laugh out loud! Yeah, ouch on the teeth.

I am looking for a gluten free turkey this year since I am now gluten-free as of 2 months ago. Someone told me that the inside of the bags that hold the turkeys is lined with wheat gluten? Is that correct, or if I buy one that says Gluten free, then I am safe?

VERY incorrect! Most turkey's are gluten free. Butterball and Jenny-O (I think Jenny-O labels gluten-free) are to name a specific company. If there is a gravy packet inside the bird, I would discard that and make your own with the turkey drippings and corn starch to thicken.

And of course, no stuffing, unless it's of the gluten free variety! We prefer ours unstuffed. I believe it cooks better.

Make some gluten-free cornbread the week before and freeze it. It makes great stuffing.

And on Wheat Starch:

Wheat starch

Products made from wheat starch are commonly eaten by celiac patients in some European countries. Wheat starch inherently is not harmful to celiac patients, but proteins adhering to the starch granules that make up a predominant part of wheat flour would be if the adherent proteins were gluten proteins, which is the case for some starch preparations.. Recent well done studies from Finland (Peraaho et al. 2003; Kaukinen et al.1999) indicate that use of the purified starches made in Europe for the purpose of producing "gluten-free" products are not causing harm to celiac patients. Such products are rarely used in the US, however, in part because the suitability of wheat starches readily available in the U.S. for gluten-free products hasn’t been evaluated.

My conclusion is that drywall does not contain measurable amounts of gluten (specifically in if wheat starch is used) which could be inhaled. Although wheat starch for consumption would differ with that for industrial use. The other components of drywall would create a more dangerous risk if inhaled.

I have heard this over the years. It would be good to contact a generally used manufacturer of dry wall/sheet rock or whatever to get the facts on their ingredients. Inquiring minds and such....

Actually , that response is pretty typical. Few company's will insure a gluten free status unless they test and frequently. What they are saying is that they will comply with the law and list wheat if an ingredient. Wheat would not be a player here, but barley malt may in the chocolate milk.

Search the internet, get some other sources and then make an informed choice. Here is a listing of gluten free items from Wendy's, which I believe includes the milk in questions as listed as gluten free. Wendy's is one of the good guys : (scroll down)

I do remember being a bit "high strung" when glutened, which is normal.

But, there might be more here. Would he be willing to have his testosterone checked. It's not uncommon for it to be off with Celiac Disease. And it could make a tremendous difference in his mood.

Google - Low Testosterone - Celiac Disease. You might be surprised.

Here is a statement from MedScape (which I cannot 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.

I do feel that the previous posters have answered your questions, though.

you MUST get to a doctor - some of what you are describing are signs of an ectopic pregnancy, a life-threatening condition. if you don't have a regular doc, go to urgent care, or the ER if you have to. (this is not the sort of thing that you say "but I don't have insurance" and ignore. this is not about just losing your baby, but about losing your life.)

well-managed celiac disease doesn't cause any pregnancy complications.

YES! I must agree. Urgent care asap for you, young lady!

Thanks for the replies.

Lisa - I do drink wine on a regular basis, and I don't have problems like this. A few weeks ago, I had about 3/4 of a bottle over the course of an evening and was perfectly fine. I did not consume any more alcohol on Friday than I do normally. So, it was not an alcohol thing. Of that, I am 100% certain.

I have a thought and a totally personal experience. We have a restaurant here in small town, usa. It's a local place, like "the brick" on Northern Exposure or like "Cheers".

I can have two glasses of wine here at home and feel totally fine. Same wine I buy at the grocery store. But, in a crowded environment like our restaurant and I'm busy talking to people, two glasses have a far greater impact.

Why, I'm not sure. But, my non gluten-free friends experience the same effect. I think it has to do with adrenalin of something.

Life with Celiac is curious. Sometimes, we might not ever know the answer. So we just do out best.

Is Crush a flavored wine? If so that may be a problem.

When we were wine tasting Friday (my horrid day), one place makes flavored ports - and she showed me the ingredients - that particular one didn't contain gluten but it would be easy to encounter one that is. That's why they say stay away from flavored vodkas, etc.

I have never heard of Crush wine. Could it be a wine cooler, which might contain barley malt like Smirnoffs Ice Coolers?

Wine in general is gluten free. I don't know anything about flavored wines ....not on my grocery list.

After many years being gluten free, I have learned that not all ills are gluten related. Red wine and beef make a quick exit for me - but that's just how I react to those particular items - no gluten involved.

I do know that your tolerance changes and one too many (and not what you're used too) would lead to brain fog and achy joints, as anyone would react to overly consuming more than your body can handle. I know that when you start absorbing things again, alcohol absorbs fast and furious.

I don't doubt that a few cannot tolerate wine well, for a variety of reasons. Regulatory laws won't be forthcoming anytime soon, unfortunately.

ALL of the support, research groups and foundations that supports and advocate for Celiac Disease, state that wine is safe for people with Celiac to consume.

Hi and welcome! Patience is a virtue here and a necessity. With your diagnosis, it will take time and healing can take up to a couple of years of diligence for severe cases.

I would recommend that you give up dairy products for about three weeks and see if you symptoms improve. Often dairy can have the same symptoms as gluten - has to do with the absorption in the villi that are damaged due to celiac.

Give that a go for a few weeks and then slowly reintroduce dairy. Most times, it's only a temporary intolerance.

R.O.C.K. - (Raising Our Celiac Kids ) Google it and you will find some gluten free options for your children during Halloween. And, take a minute to thank them for their efforts in gathering this listing that will keep your kids safe.

Hi folks. I've had problems with anxiety and random nerve pain throughout my body for 9-10 years. The pain is not constant, but is worse some days than others. I was tested for celiac by a gastroenterologist maybe 6-7 years ago but the result was negative. I was wondering how likely you think gluten sensitivity may be? Can it affect (only) the nervous system this way? Has anyone else had the same experience, or heard of someone who has?

Well, testing has advance in recent years. I would consider retesting. And after that, try the full diet and see if you have symptom relief.

Yeah...your tolerance does change after going gluten free.

I must add, as a word of caution.....that if you have had an extended time with intestinal distress, mineral deficiency or issue with absorption, you should seek some medical testing. It's a good measure for your medical history and to rule out other issues of greater concerns.

I don't have DH and should not comment, but I have always heard the DH is iodine sensitive. Perhaps that might be an avenue you could pursue.

Maalox can clear me out within hours. I am certain it's gluten free, but magnesium (an antacid) seems to be a bother to me, as with other antacids.

Me thinks it does not dance well with red wine.
