    ARCHIVED Confused

    Lisa replied to mysecretcurse's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    That's an easy fix. Look at the top right of your page. You will see an white "Option" box. Click on it and then, click on "Standard" and it should bring you back to familiar territory. It just happens from time to time.

    I keep checkin and cheering everyone on the side lines. It's really a BIG deal what you guys are doing. It will be two years in August for me and I don't ever think about it, but I understand how difficult it can be. Keep up the good work. I'm pulling for all of you. Oh, and if everyone does well, ya'll get to go to Ken's for dinner and a visit...

    Please follow your instincts. Keep your child on the gluten free diet and watch him thrive. At some point, when he is older, you can do the gene testing of you wish. But, the Serology Panel for Celiac is highly unreliable for children under the age of five. The diet does not have to be expensive and we have plenty of people to show you the ropes. This...

    That's a good question. I suppose it depends on your health history. Many people have been diagnosed with Celiac as a secondary illness to arthritis, lupus, diabetes, thyroid issues... In addition, there are several people on this Board who are asymptomatic. I believe 20% first degree relatives will develop Celiac. But, if you are otherwise healthy...

    I would have to dig into the archives of this forum to find the documentation, but I contacted a Hershey representative. I personally do not think the M&M's contain gluten (although I am not familiar with the Mocha M&M's), but I am dismayed with the response I received from Hershey and prefer not to purchase their products.

    Sorry that you're not feeling well. Wheat, by law, must be listed is used as an ingredient. I think it's doubtful that it would exist on the nuts. But you may inquire with the company to see if they also process wheat products in their manufacturing facility.

    Here is some information: https://www.celiac.com/articles/21677/1/Sim...ease/Page1.html Depending on your son's age, I would recommend the Serologic Celiac Panel: Open Original Shared Link

    Open Original Shared Link These people can offer suggestions for a doctors, or they can send you in the proper direction. But, please know that if you want to be tested for celiac, you must remain on a full gluten diet. This is a great place to learn, welcome.

    Could you try to eat several small meals during the day, so you don't go into a main meal with hunger pangs.

    I also heard today that Al Roker mentioned that one of his daughters is trying the gluten free diet and is doing much better. Don't know what that means, but it was good to hear.

    According to my understanding, testing for the HLA-DQ can tell you that you MIGHT at sometime develop a variety of autoimmune diseases, such as Celiac. Although it can be a piece of the puzzle. If you do not carry the HLA-DQ genes, you cannot develop Celiac. Do your children have symptoms? You may have mentioned it, but I can't recall. Genetic...

    Hershey's will not disclose their source for "Natural Flavor", which means that it might contain barley or malt. Your M&M's might be gluten free, but there is no way of knowing unless you either get sick or not. You might find it's a risk your willing to take

    I thought I would pass this information along: Celiac Colleagues: I am writing to call your attention to the current publicity surrounding the new book, The gluten-free Diet, A Gluten-Free Survival Guide by Elisabeth Hassselbeck, co-host of The View. While it is important to call attention to celiac disease, the information must be accurate

    Open Original Shared Link Can a person with Celiac Disease on gluten-free diet give blood? Yes, a person with celiac disease can donate blood.

    Welcome! Are you living in the US? I think you will find it difficult to find a product that claims to be 100% gluten free. Gluten free labeling in the US is voluntary, until a definition is established. Many companies will list "no gluten added", but without testing, they cannot guarantee 100% gluten free. Here is a listing of companies who...

    Laura, help me out here. What do they attribute the infertility to, the celiac disease or the endometriosis?

    Lisa replied to Smarie418's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Welcome, and I have to say what a beautiful picture on your profile. Shared equipment is a trial and error. Some very sensitive may have issues, and others not. In the beginning of the diet, I would recommend that you not, just to expedite healing. Once some healing has taken place, you can slowly add things to your diet and be aware of a reaction...

    Oi Vey! is right. I am constantly puzzled why most of the medical community knows so little about Celiac Disease. Here is some information on the Serologic Testing for Celiac: Open Original Shared Link If you would like to post your blood panel result and your pathology report from your biopsy, we would be more than glad to interpret for you...

    How about something tall, dark and handsome with a drippy Italian accent. Pastas, lots of pasta, but I know of nothing specific. Italy is one of the most progressive countries regarding Celiac.

    I am happy that you are on the road to good health with people who care.

    It's so sad when our young people can't feel that they can go somewhere for help in desperate times. Peace for that young man and for his parents.

    ARCHIVED Poll: Who Will Eat

    Lisa replied to jknnej's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I might have commented somewhere in the past ten pages, but YES. I have no problem eating McD's fries, but always away that CC can be a high risk.

    Open Original Shared Link This is helpful, but always check the dates to make sure that the information is current. Learning to read labels is always the key and purchasing from companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten, such as these: Open Original Shared Link

    I buy Pillsbury Milk Chocolate, but I read the label every time I buy it.
