    Welcome Em, Mastering the gluten free diet can be very complicating in the beginning. Perhaps you can keep a food diary. Have you checked your meds, lotions, vitamines, shampoo. Scratched pots and pans can transfer gluten, a shared toaster can do the same. Have you considered testing? If so, you must continue to eat gluten for the optimun in accuracy...

    Open Original Shared Link Did your doctor run all these tests. You should have had all of them, because they can be interpreted as they are interactive? You can certainly try the diet again. If you have positive dietary response, it's a good indication that you have a gluten issue, either Celiac or an intolerance. The RX is the same, as you well...

    Well, in a not so perfect world, we can only do our best. If you don't feel comfortable with products from a shared facility, choose something else. If you are not certain about a foreigh product or one that's manufactured overseas, there may be many other product to choose. There are very little assurances that everything we come into contact...

    I can understand. Every doctor that I have been, wants to run his/her own tests. I don't know if the reason is to make money or just doubting others results. Obviously, your blood work would be negative for Celiac and I expect so would the endoscopy. But you seem to have some ongoing issues and maybe it's not a bad idea for have a endoscopy exam...

    I ate there yesterday. P.F.'s is one of my most favorite restaurants.

Many companies are using the term "no gluten ingredients" instead of "gluten free", I believe more so as a disclaimer. You can't qualify a "gluten...

    Hi Valerie, When I fry things I use Bob's Red Mills Flour Blend. It works OK, but I'm not the best frying foods either.

    Yup, Kraft is one of the good guys! I like to support them when ever I am able. Happy Shopping

    The FDA law requires that all imported products be labeled with the 8 top allergens as well. Unless you're dealing with a backroom foreign store, maltodextrin should not be an issue in the US. Open Original Shared Link Here is a good link to keep handy: Open Original Shared Link

    Wendy's does have a menu on line you can find. Below is Chic-fil-A's. I would make copies and heep them in your purse, in case you're caught out and starving.

    The gluten free diet can certain give you some indicators that gluten intolerance or Celiac can be your issue. But, with years of digestive issues, it might be a good idea to get a endoscopy and colonoscopy to rule out other, more serious issues.

    Sorry that you are feeling badly. Have you tried the honey alone, without the bread or hot chocolate?
  16. Lisa
    Do you have a hiatal hernia? Maybe another food intolerance? Some suppliments can have that effects. I recently stopped taking meletonin due to awful reflux. It promptly went away. Maybe a food dairy may find an issue. Hope you feel better soon.

    Feel better? Hope so.

    Open Original Shared Link Anniebeth, this might help you understand what the tests mean. I also have always heard that testing children under the age of five is highly unreliable. Don't know if that's much help, though. Maybe your can get a copy and post the info here.

    Contact the Celiac Disease Foundation. They will be more than glad to send you a starter kit which has some great information. www.celiac.org And, good luck!

    How lucky for you to have had her for so long. Without knowing the heartache, we would never know the love. It gets better E....hugs to you.

    Thanks Ladies. Something to look into, I think. Yes, as Liz mentioned, Celiac Disease is often a "combined" diagnosis.

    B - Do you remember how much the gene testing costs? I think you went through Prometheus?

    Welcome to the Forum! Your symptoms are similar to those of Celiac Disease, which has over 200 symtoms. Here is the full panel that you will need to be tested for Celiac: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. ***please...

    Can you ask if they can read the label and relay that information to you? Most hams that I have seen do not have gluten, and it will be clearly listed if it does. Even Smithfield Honey Glazed Ham is gluten free now. The glaze no longer contains any gluten. Tysons Honey Sliced Ham is gluten free. Here in the South all cured whole hams are gluten free...
