    You should eliminate dairy along with gluten. Dairy can mimick gluten symptoms, until healing can take place. Some people see relief initially and others, many months depending on the level of damage. Please give it some more time, unless, of course you would like to go the testing route. In that case he must continue to eat gluten until all tests...

    When a product lists "natural flavor" and does not list "wheat" either in the ingredient list or in an allergen disclosure, it's not there. Wheat must be listed, by law, if it's an ingredient in a product in the US. Sometime you need to judge a product which might contain barley, malt or rye ( which are not required by US law to be listed) I have seen...

    Hi Lisa. I'm not a frequent buyer of frozen yogurt, but it would seem probable that most would be gluten free with the exception of cookies and crunch type items, added. Wheat would certainly be listed on the ingredient listing and barley/malt/rye would not likely be an ingredient in frozen yogurt. Google can often be your friend. Try to Google "Gluten...

    Lisa: Great advice about staying home, thank you. I do have problems digesting dark green lettuce, but seem to be ok with the regular lettuce (which seems to be less nutritious and filled with water). Should celiac’s not eat lettuce? I need to know if I should avoid it in the future. Thank you! You seem to be listening to your body a...

    Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is so very processed that generally nothing remains of the offending gluten. But many people here prefer not to use products that indicates HWP. If it was in my most favorite shampoo, I would use it. If it were in my lipstick, I'd think about it psychologically, not intellectually. The motto here is often, "When in doubt...

    As a newly diagnosed, you might want to eat "in" as much as possible. Try to stay away from processed foods and restaurants. Restaurants are the most difficult, in my opinion, because you loose control. As careful as the staff appears to be, they can't compare to your own diligence. After you are healed a bit, you body may be able to handle a slight...

    Hello Leap and Welcome! Here is a thread that has run on for several years. You might find something of interest: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/21208-lymph-nodes/

    It's great that everyone can share their personal experience. Wendy's seems to work for some and other, not. I do great and I choose well. Find your own personal comfort zone, but dont fuss with the company. They are what they are! And I am excited that Wendy's has offered what they consider to be gluten free options, in the absence of a federal...

    ARCHIVED Honey

    Lisa replied to GFreeMO's topic in Super Sensitive People

    This whole thread has really grossed me out. I will look at honey with a new perspective from now on. Do you buy honey that has been so purified, that it's not even be considered "honey". Or honey with all sorts of junk in it....hive, bee parts, etc. ? And banned imported "honey"? Guess I'll stick to my local bee farmer from now on.

    I'm assuming its probably not a good idea to buy the non frozen bread as far as it lasting long? Unless you are in need of a door stop or sumphin'. Oh and I must add.... I love Van's Waffles and eat them every morning toasted with Peanut Butter (melted on the hot waffle) and Orange Marmalade. WELL, almost every morning. I never ate EGGO's, my kids...

    Yes and welcome. I will reiterate everything that Mushroom has said. There are numberous studies out there that indicate that after diagnosis and a year on the gluten free diet, the percentage of cancerous lymphona is on par with the general population. (I think they think it might take about a year to perfect the diet - it did with me) No need for...

    If you newly diagnosed many foods may be problematic, it may not have anything to go with gluten, but rather an unhealed gut. Give up the almonds for serveral weeks and then try to reintroduce them into your diet.....see how you do. BTW, it's recommended that you continue with consuming gluten until all your tests are exausted. A slice of bread per day...

    ARCHIVED Honey

    Lisa replied to GFreeMO's topic in Super Sensitive People

    Safe? I have never seen a honey was was not gluten free, if that's your concern.
  14. Lisa
    They claim that some of their items have no gluten ingredients, and they may be gluten free. I eat there often without issue. ANY fast food is subject to a high probability of cross contamination. So...it's a bit of trial and error. Try something once and if you feel sick after, don't eat there again. The "loaded" baked potato could be too much sour...

    I have had no issue with Dove Chocolates. They are one of my favoriate indulgences. I prefer them over Hershey. Read the label.
  16. Lisa
    Great News Sarah! Whatever the reason. I don't know what your symptoms are, but if you feel they are food related, keep a diary of everything you consume, and keep a eye on your symptoms.

    <grimace> No, don't think so. Enterolab is a "for profit" lab = The End.
  18. Lisa
    I'm sticking to my clean diet...I feel so much better. I, too, am not a fan of Enterolabs, for many of the reasons Irish quoted. Do you have a family history of digestive issues or other autoimmune disorders? I think you are wise. Your pursuit of good health, will find your conclusions. Welcome!

    The Gluten Intolerance Group - New Website is up and running. Check it out. It's a great source for anyone new or old to Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity. Open Original Shared Link

    It's my understanding that a person absorbes 70% of your fluid intake in your small intestines. If the intestines are damaged..no absorption. Hydrate yourself as much as possible, and in time, you may feel better.

    Request (demand) your lab work..but I would, personally like to welcome you to the Club!

    Hey Laralou! And Welcome!! Certainly by this time you should be feeling some relief. Good choice to elimate coffee, dairy and alcohol. I would recommend that you elimiated all processed foods and stick to the out side of the grocery store....with only naturally gluten free foods. Watch out for gluten free processed foods, althought gluten free, they...

    Hey Kristen! Sometimes we need to look outside the box....could it be that you might have had a virus, the flu or the "bug" of the week? As others have stated, try a "clean diet" ...only whole foods, meaning fruits, veggies, meat, fish...shop on the outside aisles. Try this for about a month or so and see how you feel. A food diary can be helpful...

    Wendy, I have not found, in eight years, a laundry detergent that is NOT gluten free. Sheets and Towels should not be a worry for you. We recommended not to use shampoos ( that list gluten) that can drip into our mouths, or facial lotions or lipsticks. AND.... I worry that YOU worry too much. :) Feel free to PM me, whenever you choose...
  25. Lisa
    Gluten is not a bacteria or a fungus or other creepy things. No need to worrry Wendy.
