    ARCHIVED Need Help

    Lisa replied to magpie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I'm not sure this is the same, but I remember that my brain would not engage my mouth. I could not pronounce words I was very familiar with and I had difficulty finishing a sentence. My words got all tied up. My mouth was always very dry. Seventy percent of the fluids that we take in are absorbed in the small intestines. Will the villi damaged, you...

    I have heard of some members here having difficulty with Canola Oil. Maybe not gluten, but still an issue.

    Don't believe everything you read. Paper plates are not dusted with flour. There is plenty of things to worry about, but paper plates are not one them.

    The cashews are most likely processed at a plant that also processed product with wheat. Even though the nuts do not have any wheat, it's a CYA statement in case there is a cross contamination risk. You may be very sensitive to gluten or perhaps it may be another intolerance. Other intolerances don't necessarily have to be forever though. It's...

    These are names of companies who will not hide any gluten. If a product contains gluten, it will be clearly listed from these companies. Open Original Shared Link

    Celiac can be diagnosed by Serologic Celiac Panel, Endoscopy/biopsy and positive dietary response. The blood panel and endoscopy exam are not as accurate as we would like at the time. Although, a positive result in either one is considered a diagnosis, coupled with a positive dietary results. An endo can be hit or miss and the blood panel can rule Celiac...

If you choose to pursue further testing, you much return...

    ARCHIVED Melatonin

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

    I took melatonin for a while. Sometimes it help and others not. It did, after regular use, give me awful reflux. I stopped and it went away.

    Please take a minute to fill this out and send it to your Representative. Thanks to those who have.

    Hershey has never been Celiac friendly. I do try to avoid buying their products, because they will not disclose the source of Natural Flavors and opt to support their suppliers, rather than deal with the customers who buy their products. If you're looking for chocolate, Dove make some really good options. Snack bar, try KIND bars.

    Does anyone have any objections if I move this topic to Gab/Chat? It would give the subject a little more latitude of discussion.

    I just love Van's Gluten Free Waffles. I eat them every single day, toasted with melted peanut butter and Smuckers Orange Marmalade.....best breakfast ever!

    Sounds like it might be a labeling goof. Can you call the company and see what they have to say.
  20. Lisa
    Didn't know that.

    I don't think the date should be must of a problem. But, I buy pastas and mixes when I need to use them. Some get buggy.

    Isn't that the media's number one priority. Serious as it, I agree. Gluten must be ingested to kick off a immune response if you have Celiac. Injections should not be an issue, unless you might have an egg allergy.

    Odd. My understanding, not knowing how your homeowner association is set up, is that they would not have any authority on the inside of your residence. I would request why they want access into your home, in writting with documentation.
