    I will be there and very excited!

    Businesses such as bakeries or those who use flour in a commercial manner can very well have air borne gluten that can be breathed in, can kick off a reaction. Since your father was using flour a week ago, it's most likely something you came in contact with after that, unless he is a very, very messy baker with flour everywhere. Smelling burned toast...

    Bartfull, I have always admired your attitude and even more so now. I hope you are surrounded by family, great friends and enjoy every day to your fullest.

    I travel to St. Pete frequently and have had no issues with restaurants or grocery shopping. In larger cities, most of the staff, I have found, is knowledgeable regarding gluten. And nothing is better than fresh gulf shrimp!!! Publix is a super grocery store, where I buy my gluten free Van's waffles. As mentioned above, you can Google 'Gluten Free in Clearwater...

    I have never had an issue with Lipton Tea. Not even on my radar. Please state why you consider Lipton Tea unsafe HauntedEyes.

    Welcome Cara! Glad you found us. Determining your level of sensitivity may take a year or more. Lots of time being totally gluten free, because it takes a varied time to heal to feel what a glutening is. In the beginning, most foods, gluten or not with bother an unhealed gut. As you indicated, you have family who prepares their gluten containing foods...

    Sorry, I guess I was not clear about the reason for the SIBO test, my apologies. My reply was less than helpful.

    What did you blood work indicate? It might show some essential deficiencies you may have. When I was first diagnosed, I had B-12 shots once a week - it helped me tremendously with my balance and speech . Folic was low as well. After four weeks, I went to once a month and was able to orally supplement after that. Eat as cleanly as you are able. Hope...

    No, I am not familiar with that test, but I do know that a breath test cannot diagnose you with Celiac Disease. General means toward a diagnosis is with a blood test, endoscopy exam with a biopsy, gene testing and, in association, a positive dietary response. If you would like the specific blood test, we can provide that information, which you can present...

    I'm not too sure if you mentioned this already, but dairy may be an issue for him until some healing can happen, in most cases. I still can't enjoy milk after over ten years gluten free. Perhaps you can switch to almond milk or a non-lactose milk and see how it goes.

    ARCHIVED Potatoes?

    Lisa replied to Maddi's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    As Karen said, it took me six months of healing before I recognized a gluten experience.

    ARCHIVED Potatoes?

    Lisa replied to Maddi's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    I am certainly not knowledgeable about night shades. I have no experience, nor issues. But I will say, that being gluten free for two weeks (assuming you do have Celiac, as your tests are not in yet) is a relatively short period of time to be symptom free. It takes time for the gluten to do damage, as well as heal. With most people, it will take a few...

    The origin of this post is over three years old. After being gluten free for more than ten years, I decided it was time to try all the wonderful named brand cereals after such a long hiatus . Yes, the lactose intolerance reared it's ugly head once again. I may try the non-lactose milks, but I'm not too big of a cereal fan either. Back to the Eggo's...

    Keep a food diary. Breakfast, lunch an dinner - and in between meals Gluten free is to feel good again. Document foods you eat and what brand. Document every thing you eat. If you have a questions about a product, ask us. Read the label, and if in question, ask us.

    As said, welcome to the club and the road to recovery - free of drugs, nor surgery. Please, let us know how we can be helpful to you.

    I am not going to get into the details of the on going discussion, because, I can't afford to. But I will say, that everyone has a different way of coping when diagnosed. Eleven years ago, I found myself crying in the middle of the grocery store, restaurants and at homes of friends, in total frustration and grief. I get that. I've lived that. Today...

    ARCHIVED Burning?!

    Lisa replied to darlingnea13's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Perhaps this might be not related to you, but too much diary, high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient and chocolate will give me serious heart burn effects. Hope you are hydrating well. If this persists, yes, as suggested, a doctor visit might be in order. Perhaps, dairy may be an issue. It is common. You might also revisit your diet. Keep a...

    Coffee and Chocolate Chip...so wonderful!

    Regarding the cross contamination/contact issue... all processing equipment is thoroughly cleaned during a product change. As I said previously, a shared facility has never been some thing I worry about. But, that's just me.
  20. Lisa
    Yes, as Cyclinglady mention, lots of fluids. It might not flush the stuff, but rather re- hydrate you as you do. Go on a "clean" diet. Fresh seafood, meats, potatoes, rice, fresh veggies with simple seasoning - salt and pepper. Hope you feel better soon.

    I, too, have been gluten free for over ten years. It's easy and a non-concern for me today. Most of you will also, feel the same, after some time. Talenti is a great company who will clearly list all the ingredient on their delicious products. I can look at the name and make a choice and sometime, I am surprised with wheat as an ingredient....BUT it was...

    This thread is over 5 years old... That being said, there are imitation crab products that are available, those that I have seen, clearly list that they are gluten free. Progress is a GREAT! Thanks for reviving an old Derp Tyler. Up dates are wonderful.

    ARCHIVED B12 Injections

    Lisa replied to kkeg75's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Wow, that surprises me, after so long. Do you have other concerns mamaw? After diagnosis, I received shots once a week for 4 weeks, then once every four weeks. I was retested and no longer need it. I do take pre-natal vitamins that are high in folic and b-12, daily. At my worst, I could not walk a strait line, nor complete a sentence.

    If language is an issue, I would recommend Triumph Dining Cards - they come in several languages that address your needs.

    This is information regarding "Certified Gluten Free"... http://www.celiaccentral.org/gluten-free-certification/ Please note, that "certified gluten free" makes no claim of ZERO gluten, it is an endorsement from celiac organizations, that a particular product is with compliance with the federal standard or 20 ppm or less. In defense of Chex. I do not...
