  1. Here is some information for starters: Open Original Shared Link Testing for Celiac is not as accurate as we would like at this time.
  2. Your blood test range will vary from lab to lab. Post your results from your test here and some will intrepred your results.
  3. Unfortunately, both books you referenced are riddled with inacurancies and dated material.
  4. OMG!!!
  5. MSG is not gluten related. I'm afraid your book in inaccurate.

    ARCHIVED Frustrating

    Searching for things that bother us can be very frustrating indeed. Sometimes your reaction time changes, sometimes any food cause discomfort, sometimes your tummy can be off or sometimes other ingredients can bother you. And sometimes, your hands can transfer gluten from another source. It's almost impossible to figure it out. We all just do our...
  7. It is Wish-Bone's policy to list all forms of gluten on their lables. So, if you don't see wheat, rye, barley or malt, it's not in there. It won't be hidden in "natural flavor". Reactions to food can be a constant mystery. It's impossible to pinpoint everything and why.
  8. Open Original Shared Link Do you have a list of dressings which are Gluten free? Ingredients that may contain gluten are always listed on the label. Since product formulations change from time to time, we do not have a printed list of products that identifies those products that contain specific allergens or gluten. The best advice we can give you is...
  9. If you have intestinal damage, any food will have an adverse effect.
  10. Sure can. <---- is that what you feel like?
  11. ditto what Peter posted on caramel color. Sometimes, your information is just as good as your customer service rep. That is why, it would be a good to get other confirmation to insure your safety. And use your intuition . It has always served me well.
  12. Here is an interesting link to the study and research for modified wheat, in order to increase production to feed the world's hungry. While the work of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center is exemplary and dedicated to the hungry though out the world, I was curious as to whether the increase in production of wheat and maize, mirrored an...
  13. I should think that most pickles would be gluten free. But, always read labels.
  14. Hi Tim, You might be in the right place. Many, many of us here have been diagnosed with IBS years before finally receiving a diagnosis for Celiac or gluten intolerance. Some of us consider IBS (I Be Stumped) a label that the doctors slap on you, when they don't know what you have. Anyway, take a walk around. There is some good stuff here...
  15. It looks like 20ppm might be the standard level of gluten considered safe for people with Celiac to consume. I can't imagine that any cross contamination through processing could exceed that limit. I wouldn't give it a second thought, unless you have an on going problem of an unknown source. Many people here do have issues with soy as an additional...
  16. I would think it possible. But with wheat and oats, the processing would be similar with grain vs. grain. Soy is a bean and contained in a hull until processed.. Processing would differ from grains. Open Original Shared Link
  17. Lisa, So sorry that you have had a tough time. You have had great suggestions from others. Have you re-called on your lipsticks. If I remember correctly, you use Lancome. Cosmetics can change in a blink of an eye. But, then I am sure you know this. I'll keep thinking.... (I see you have answered. I'm a slow poster) How about new products...
  18. Constipation is also a symptom of Celiac. Hopefully, it can resolve itself with a dedicated gluten free diet. And yes, as trents said, please consult your doctor.
  19. Great advise from everyone! I just wanted to welcome TEagleFeather. This is a wonderful place you have found. With a little bit of knowledge, your husband will soon be on the road to recovery. Feel free to ask anything.
  20. Mayo usually has simple ingredients. I don't know of one that contains gluten. However, you should be careful with cross contamination. After spreading a sandwich with mayo and double dipping, leaves it contaminated for those with Celiac.

  22. Lexapro is gluten free. Here is some information on Lexapro: Open Original Shared Link What side effects may occur? Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe to continue using Lexapro. Side effects may include: Constipation...
  23. What is the GAPS Diet? I would suggested you see a doctor and make the appropriate corrections to your diet, through food or supplement, before it can be a permanent issue.
  24. Good people, good stuff.... Open Original Shared Link How Does the Team Gluten-Freeâ„¢ Program Work? Select an event in your town (5K/10K/half marathon/full marathon) and participate as a Team Gluten-Freeâ„¢ member. You can choose any event, even if it benefits another charity (i.e., Race for the Cure). When you register for your event, the mon...
