    You mentioned that you tried the dining cards and they were not adequate for your needs. I can't help with that. I have listed a link for some that may need some: Open Original Shared Link

    This might be of interest to you: Open Original Shared Link Selective IgA deficiency (SIgA deficiency) SIgA deficiency occurs 10 to 15 times more commonly among people with celiac disease compared to the general population [19]. Patients with SIgA deficiency will lack IgA antibodies including endomysial antibody, tTG and IgA AGA. To detect celiac...

    What was the gluten source of your pepper? I have never seen gluten in ground pepper. And certainly if it were wheat it would be required by law to be listed.

    That customer service rep needs to find a new line of work. Open Original Shared Link Hydrolyzed vegetable protein is a phrase that under federal regulation should not be used on a food label. Food processors have to identify the "vegetable." So you might read "hydrolyzed wheat protein," which would not be gluten free, or "hydrolyzed soy protein," which...

    Why would anyone want to mess around with their immune system....to "cure" yourself so you can have wheat products again. The risks are way too high. Any risk is way too high. Open Original Shared Link This appears to still be in the research phase. Any business selling a products using these claims, is profiting prematurely, in my humble opinion...

    Here is a previous thread, but sure how current this information is, but it can lead you to what you want to know.... https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...mp;#entry260206 Open Original Shared Link

    Any form of gluten must be listed if used in meat (ie.broth) according to FDA regulations.

    Hello Ohio, May I ask, have you been tested for Lyme Disease?

    Statement from the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) www.csaceliacs.org CSA is generally considered to be the most conservative of the Celiac Disease Support Groups in the U.S. The following is from their official statement concerning the McDonald's French Fries issue on 2/26/06. "The Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) has examined the commercial manufacturing...

    Open Original Shared Link If your vitamin B12 level becomes low, you may develop fatigue from anemia. B12 is needed for healthy nerves, so you also may develop numbness or skin pain, tingling or weakness. If you have been on acid blockers for more than a few years, or if you have symptoms that suggest possible vitamin B12 deficiency, then your doctor...

    Please do not assume that your child has Celiac Disease. Your child could be perfectly fine with gluten and never have an issue. Twenty percent of first degree relatives MAY develop Celiac.

    Open Original Shared Link Nexium is listed on this gluten free drug list. But, I always encourage people to have an additional source as things can change quickly. Prilosec is gluten free as well as the generic Omeprazole

    Yes, in so much as it "could" do damage as well and that has yet to be determined. Open Original Shared Link "According to The Australian, it looks like this April 40 volunteers will be tested with the worlds first Celiac Disease vaccine. This trial will last a total of 11 months and attempt to determine if the vaccine does any harm." As I already...

    "Australian scientists have developed a vaccine which could mean patients could eat all kinds of foods without any side effects." This first statement in the quoted article is solely based on the presumptive success of the trials. Desensitising the body to an allergy is one thing. Attempting to do the same with an autoimmune response may be another...

    Cool! Our voices and our purchasing power has some grit!

    For the best accuracy in testing for Celiac, you must remain on a full gluten diet. If you have damage due to Celiac, it will take a while for healing to take place. In the mean time, any food, gluten or not, can be difficult on your system. I would remove one item at a time with the exception of gluten and dairy.

    Call ahead or visit, if possible and speak to the manager during non-busy hours. Many large restaurants maybe familiar with the diet and may offer options and some have gluten free menus. But, it's pretty important to do your homework before you go, just like you're doing now. This may be helpful: Open Original Shared Link

    I believe they are LOW Gluten Hosts, not gluten free, provided by the Benedictine Sisters (a link was listed a few posts earlier)

    Open Original Shared Link Here are some answers to some of the question you have.
  22. Lisa
    I have found that it really sucks up dressings. I use Kraft Ranch or Hidden Valley Original with black beams, corn, onion and ham. Oh, don't over cook the pasta cause it will fall apart. Making a grilled cheese is hard to me. The cheese gets totally absorbed into the bread. Not may, but some things just can't be reproduced.

    Walmart or similar stores have new toasters for around $10.00. Well worth the investment for me.

    Most dried beans that I have prepared, instruct you to rinse well before cooking.

    Open Original Shared Link This might be of interest for those who are Catholic. It's often good to work with the Priest. Some can be very accommodating and others strict.
