    Until you get the hang of label reading, I would like to recommend two published grocery guides. Triumph Dining Gluten Free Grocery Guide www.trimphdining.com Cecelia's Market Place Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide www.CeceliasMarketplace.com Both can also be found on the Gluten Free Mall on this site, and they list over 30,000 common grocery...

    Here is a quote from a page I can't copy: Open Original Shared 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...

    Also, your reaction time can vary the longer you are gluten free. Some times it hard to pin point a problem.

    The research organizations recommend 3-4 slices of bread or equivalent for 6-8 weeks. If you are miserable, you might want to discuss with your doctor other means of diagnosis. A positive dietary response can be a diagnostic coupled with common symptoms. Gene testing is available. It won't tell you if you have Celiac, but it can tell you that you are...

    This tread is over three years old. Here is some current information based on the 2009-10 Cecelia's Market Place Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide (found in the Gluten Free Mall) Lubriderm - Daily Moisture Lotion (Advanced Therapy, Fragrance Free, Regular, Sensitive Skin, w/SPF 15, w/Sea Kelp Extract, w/Shea & Cocoa Butters) ....all gluten free...

    I would suggest that you be tested, first, by conventional means. Experimenting with partial avoidance cannot be successful, should Celiac be your issue. The gluten free diet must be absolute for an extended period of time. This is the Serologic Blood Panel to request from your doctor: Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgG and IgG Anti-endomysial...

    I have had a chance to see CELIA's Market Place Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide 2009-2010 Edition and it's pretty good. It also contains some non grocery items. You can find it on the margin advertizing here on C.com or on the Gluten Free Mall.

    Here is an American reference, with ingredient listing: Open Original Shared Link If I recall correctly from past threads, Centrum would not confirm nor deny their gluten free/or gluten status due to the changes in their suppliers. Which is a statement that we find more and more. My above post would certainly be the more recent.

    Could you post your blood panel results here. I'm not sure what you doctor is referring to as "moderately elevated". Depending on what test he was refering to, a positive result is a diagnosis for Celiac. And coupled with your symptoms, (which can be over 200 known symptoms), it looks likely. Here is some information on the Serologic Panel for Celiac...

    Here is some information from the Gluten Intolerace Group: Open Original Shared Link

    Open Original Shared Link 2. Is Centrum gluten-free and is it safe for people with celiac disease to take? Yes, Centrum is gluten-free and suitable for individuals with celiac disease. This appears to be the current information on their website.

    Here is some additional food for thought: https://www.celiac.com/articles/21783/1/B-V...Diet/Page1.html B Vitamins Beneficial for Celiacs on Gluten-Free Diet Celiac.com 04/15/2009 - A recent clinical study has shown B vitamins to be beneficial for celiac sufferers following gluten-free diets. Vitamin deficiency and less than optimal health are common...

    Jason, I just googles Gluten Free Dining in Paris and I got lots and lots of hits. I don't know if you're in Paris or not, but give that a try. Europe is so much more progressive that in the US. You should have no problem. Do you have dining cards. They are basic items to have when traveling. There is no reason to starve to death.

    https://www.celiac.com/articles/21853/1/MyC...ting/Page1.html MyCeliacID is based on proven science. People who have celiac disease are known to have a distinct sequence of genes. By testing DNA isolated from a saliva sample, MyCeliacID can show whether or not a person has that genetic sequence. If they don’t have the genes, they are highly unlikely t...

    These are the tests to request from your doctor: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. Make sure that you are on a full gluten diet, until all testing is exausted. Enterolabs can test you for sensitivites, but they cannot diagnose...

    How about sharing your taco soup recipe lm? Pretty please?

    I can't walk in your shoes, but it would seem wise to me, that after ten years of being terrible ill, an endoscopy and colonoscopy might be wise, if for nothing else but to rule out more serious conditions. Although, I don't see the need to return to glute. That issue is a given. Anytime anyone has had digestive issues, I think it's a smart thing to...

    ARCHIVED Grits?

    Lisa replied to Aeman56's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    Open Original Shared Link These grits are stone ground and they are, with out a doubt, best in the world. They are are not instant grits and they take time to cook, but once you've gone here, you'll never go back I cook mine with chicken broth and add havarti cheese or smoked gouda at the end, served with sauteed shrimp. Just don't get any better...
