    Breakfast can be pretty easy too. Most hotels offer a breakfast bar and you can always find Yoplait Yogurt and fresh fruit. I, personally have never had a problem with the scrambled eggs, bacon and hashbrowns, or juices. Or you could bring your own baggie of cereal of your choice.

    Hey! Welcome to the Club! With a positive serologic test....consider yourself diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Biopsies can be very inclusive for sure. And with a positive dietary response in support. Again, welcome!

    I agree with Mushroom. I, too am not too sure what the Celiac AB panel involves, but she posted the current serologic testing in her previous post. It's a complete series of six test, which speak to each other...for a more definative diagnosis. I would insist on nothing less. It's also good to be tested for other issues. There could be a common link...

    You sound like you have done a good cleaning already. A great wipe down and a good vacume would be all you might need. Remember that gluten is a crumb or a smudge left behind, not a bacteria or a germ. My floor matts are not clean. When the days warm up a bit, I'm going to get some Woolite Rug Cleaner and scrub those matts. The content of the cleaner...

    I hope you find that a gluten free diet will be helpful.

    I admire you northern peeps with you attitude with this storm. Two inches cripples us. Often times it's ice and we have lots of school busses over lots of frozen bridges and stuff. And not too sure the town even owns a snow plow. Snow is a fun event here. Now hurricanes are another issue. We all have things to endure. But yeah....we are whimps down...

    Some people here have issues with eggs by themselves, yet have no problem with them when used in an ingredient.

    Open Original Shared Link An interesting example of wheat’s addictive potential pertains to the Roman army. The Roman Empire was once known as the "Wheat Empire," with soldiers being paid in wheat rations. Rome’s entire war machine, and its vast expansion, was predicated on the availability of wheat. Forts were actually granaries, holding up to a yea...

    I think it's great to have someone like Mushroom around, who knows her stuff.

    Hello and welcome! This is the test (all of them) for Celiac Disease: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA Let me stress, have your doctor order a FULL panel as listed above. Many doctors are not informed and...

    Ya know...I'm not a trend. Nor do I expect a restaurant to cater to me, but so glad when they do, or can or informed! I am responsible for my life and what I put into my mouth....trend or not. When I eat at a restaurant, it's my choice. I don't put the weight of my health on the server, kitchen or management. They don't know the level of my awareness...

    I hope I am understanding you correctly.....whole grain wheat (any form of wheat) has a protein that if ingested, kicks off a gluten response in those of us with Celiac Disease. Rice, or whole grain rice does not contain that protein, which bothers us. Rice is okay for us to eat if gluten is your only issue. Rice is okay, wheat anything is not. Mushroom...

    Cross reaction is a relativly new terminology and definition. And I'm not too sure that there are substantiated studies for cross reaction, but there may be. Although, it's very typical that many people here have multiple intolerances that they have self discovered over a number of years. I'm not one of them. What is the common demonator, I don't know...

    Hey WM: And welcome. The archives here is vast....do a search. You will find lots of information.
  15. Lisa
    Yup, as Mushroon said...stay on a full gluten diet as much as possible (or at least a piece of toast a day), in order to test as accurate as possible.
  16. Lisa
    Welcome! First I would like to ask if you were tested adequately/ properly? This is the full panel for Celiac Disease: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA If you do not have your test results, get...

    I have heard GREAT things about Betterbatter, but it's not available retail in my area. Must check online.

    I would suggest that you revisit everything that can pass your mouth, to include your personal products. A daily dose of wheat in your shampoo could make you sick daily. Check your lipsticks, lotions, meds, vitamines, shared home toaster, work cross contamination....etc. Keep a food diary with your reactions. Eliminate all the possible gluten for...

    Companies who list their products as containing no gluten or free gluten have no obligation to verify for no gluten. In the US, there is no legal criterial for labeling a product gluten free. All labeling is voluntary at this time. In this case, it might be best to contact the company and inquire about shared equipment or shared facility. I also would...

    Yes... and working with fairies but it's frustrating.

    YES Indeed Bunny! My five year plan is finding cholesteral and blood pressure meds that makes me feel "GOOD". Still not a happy camper! Feel free to PM me suggestions.... :wacko:

    What ever you choose....maybe "How to navigate living in Asia - gluten free" ?
  23. Lisa
    Good luck with all of that....then come a visit us on the "better" coast. Sail to us...it can be done.
  24. Lisa
    Hey Sabin, We have many members who are over seas and many in Japan or other Asian Countries. They are very free to offer suggestion as to eating gluten free.
  25. Lisa
    As mushroon spoke wise and experienced words....you have five days invested in the diet and you feel better. So you are at a point of choice: 1. continue with digesting gluten until testing. 2. realized gluten is an issue and go gluten free. 3. need the diagnosis 4. consider your family history.
