    Because that statement could have a deadly outcome by it's implication. Hence, a parent deserves to have documented sources to make an informed decision regarding a vaccine or a deadly disease. The topic still generates much debate. This is serious stuff. As you know, many assumptions are assumed to be factual here. I would think this topic should...

    Yes, it is true that the available diagnostic means is not as accurate as we would like at this time. There can be false negatives with the blood test as well as the endoscopy/biopsy exams. Not all roads lead to Celiac, but it's wise to be tested due to years of digestive issues. Reaction time can vary from person to person. But, it's more common for...

    mamaw's suggestions are good. I have heard some time ago and long since lost the source, that we absorb 70% of the fluids we drink in our small intestines. If the villi are damaged, it would hinder the water absorption. Do what your body is asking for.

    I expect that mamabear is well aware of the attributes of Celiac Disease to a far great extent than many of us on this forum. I don't think it's fair to jump down the throat of any profession in general terms and use ALL doctors as a whipping boy for years of anguish. It was obvious in the beginning of this tread that it was going to be a doctor bash...

    Try cooking your quinoa in chicken broth. I use HerbOx bouillon granules. I found it quite good, with a tad of butter.

    Or from our Irish Dave: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/lofivers...php/t48712.html irish daveyboyJul 8 2008, 08:41 PM You know you're a Celiac IF ??.. Your bread looks like a moon rock and tastes like dried out ............ PLAY DOH! You have written .. "Contaminated" .. on jars of peanut butter and mayo. You call a dream about eating...

    Here are some funnies from our own celiac3270 and Bronkobux: You might be a celiac if... 1. The centerpiece on your dining room table is a bread machine. 2. Your bread looks like a moon rock and tastes like dried out Play Doh. 3. Your bread weighs more than any moon rock could possibly weigh. 4. The only way you will eat your bread is toasted...

    Hi and Welcome! You are a bit skinny at 135. As you might know, many people with Celiac can be asymptomatic and only get diagnosed with Celiac as a secondary to another illness. Many people never have the digestive issues. With a history of Celiac, perhaps it might be wise to be tested. This is what you should request from your doctor: Anti-gliadin...

    Good for you Sara Beth! If I can help in any way, please let me know.

    This might help. ...this is a listing of good companies who will clearly list ALL forms of gluten. Open Original Shared Link It might be helpful to look into the www.triumphdining.com Grocery Guilde. It lists hundreds of main stream grocery products that are gluten free. I highly recommend it.

    A much wiser choice.

    www.triumphdining.com or through the Gluten Free Mall on this site. Check out the grocery guide. I highly recommend it, at least in the beginning. Product ingredients change frequently and lists can become inaccurate without warning.

    I have tremendous concern for the people who frequent this site, that companies take advance of marketing their products to frustrated people sick and tired of being sick and tired. The reliability of this product has been in question and it is outrageously expensive. I also have concerns for the new members here seeking primary information, may feel...

    ARCHIVED How Can I Find A Good Doctor?

    Lisa replied to Christina98's topic in Doctors

    Hi Christina! We all understand your frustration. Here is a list of people in your area who might be able to direct you to a proper doctor: Open Original Shared Link This is the test to request from a doctor: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies...

    Jeremiah, My point was, to take REASONABLE precautions. Celiac Disease does not have to be a Ball & Chain you drag around with you for the rest of your life. The easiest way to deal with it is to learn to read labels, don't rely on lists, trust your own judgment and accept where you are.
  22. Lisa
    Hi Jeremy, I certainly understand your confusion. Consistency is new to the medical world regarding Celiac and it's associations. I don't recall your blood work results, but if you doctor considered it positive, that in itself is a diagnoses. A biopsy can confirm that diagnoses or establish a diagnosis. Neither are as accurate as we would like...

    Lisa, I would think it highly unlikely that Planters woud use one of the top 8 allergens on their product. But, I don't have a supporting link for my thoughts.

    What type of test did you do that indicated "positive" at the level that made you sick? Open Original Shared Link Is AMARANTH gluten-free? YES! Amaranth has been tested by a certified AOAC food analysis laboratory (ELISA tested) and is certified gluten-free. Amaranth is recognized by the Gluten Intolerance Group, the Celiac Disease Foundation, the...

    I can't think of any consumable product that would be considered 100% gluten free safe, one which would be free of contamination in the production, harvesting, shipping and marketing. Tomatoes grown in your backyard, only touched by the sun and your hands could be 100% gluten free. There is no guarantee that the stock person didn't stack the broccoli...
