  1. Mgyoung77... Should you decide to have your children tested, this is the panel that should be ordered by your doctor: The following are the celiac specific blood tests: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA This...
  2. I don't see a reason to test them unless they show symptoms. A gene test just shows a low probability/association. <wouldn't waste my time and money at this time. I don't know how old your children are, but keep a keen watch. No need to be alarmed until there is an issue. AND WELCOME!
  3. Most of your concern should reside with your shampoo and soap bar, as both could find their way into your mouth. The other ingredients would most likely not contain any gluten. But, you are wise to inquire. There is generally an 1-800 number on the back of the product, to find a customer rep who could answer your questions.
  4. But, please also note that Campbell's US and Campbell's Canada have a very different list of gluten free options. If you contact them by phone, they will send you their gluten free listings by snail mail, with several coupons of their products that, for the large part, are NOT gluten free. But...I guess it's the thought that counts. I buy Swanson...
  5. I just want to mention that the personal information that you are viewing on your profile page is visable to only you. No other members can see it. (Click on any member's name - you can't see their personal information)
  6. I AGREE! Progress, may be not for all, but it's still progress. The fine tuning comes with exposure, marketing reports, profits and time. I do think we have a large voice and a big pocket book, at least for the time being. And welcome mythumpa!
  7. I am so glad you guys have kept in touch!!! I knew you two were bound for greatness!! My daughter took Organic Chem at various levels, multiply times. It's tough!! Congratulations on your graduation!!! Please send celiac3270 our best (from those who remember him - us old peeps) and ENJOY your free time! You deserve it! Love hearing from you...
  8. Hi Molly! I remember you well and celiac3270 too. Do you keep up with him? I'd love to know how you are and what you are doing. You graduated? Lisa (aka Momma Goose)
  9. /celiac-disease/gluten-free-alcoholic-beverages-r218/ Some suggestions that are safe. Wine is a safe option. But watch out for your tolerance, it will change. Go slow.
  10. All distilled alcohols are considered safe for most people with Celiac to consume. But, there are a few that I know of that do react to grain based alcohol. /celiac-disease/gluten-free-alcoholic-beverages-r218/
  11. Welcome Rae! Many here are self diagnosed and feel quite comfortable with that. If you choose to forgo testing, start simple. Meats, seafood, rice, veggies, potatoes and fresh fruit. No need for processed foods at the moment, or keep them to a minimum. I would be as strict as possible for over a month or so. If you have a possitive dietary response...
  12. I agree. She is a highly paid actor and contracts are detailed. We don't know the facts and may never know. I don't know Jennifer's current state of health, or at the point of her dismissal .Nor do I know the reason for her dismissal by the networks. Do YOU know? As I stated earlier (as an advanced member)....I'm witholding judgement.
  13. I hope you get good news regarding your GI visit. Good news meaning that you find an answser to your distress. I would certainly recommend a full biopsy with 8-10 samples, should you have an endoscopy exam. The following are the celiac specific blood tests: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue...
  14. Last night we had steamed oysters in the garage and butter bean soup (lima's to yous yanks) in the kitchen with friends. Tonight we had the left over oysters in the Rockerfeller mode with a ceasar salad.....almost better than last night.
  15. Boy Oh Boy...am I glad you asked that question Butterfly! And on my top of the list this week, thanks to LovesII
  16. NO ..... call me crazy ( I wanna dance). Start a food diary and the airborn that you speak of ,should not be a worry. You might want to revisit your diet.
  17. Thank you for that video....even if it was from the Fox Network . Fasano does good work! He is an epic leader in our small world.
  18. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves to think outside of the box. Chocolate and High Frutose Corn Syrup give me terrible reflux within 15-20 minutes, with chocolate being the worst as far as symptoms. It's not gluten related, yet bad enough that I try to avoid it as much as possible. I'm not sure if this is your situation, but.... OH WOW...
  19. Never a doubt. The bad new is that "harvest gold" is the new color.
  20. WOW...Things change quickly around here. Locking the history of the Phsillies is a WOW, but technically, it's understandable. Not that I know "tech-nicks". Tom is the King and well deserved and honored. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
  21. Hahah....I share your thought Vincent!
  22. Lookin' for good things from ya, Tom. MY FRIEND! B)
  23. Hi Amber and welcome! Could you post your blood test results here. We have some great peeps who can interpret them for you. I did everything backwards. I was really sick and my GP sent me to a GI who confirmed my diagnosis as Celiac via Biopsy. I had a blood test several months after being gluten free, which was negative. If possitive, that alone...
  24. I agree Karen. But before the upgrade it was not like that.
  25. I have an issue...may be me, but not too sure It seems that the longer the thread, the longer it takes to open up "View New Content". When I check in on the Sillie Thread, I can literally walk away and come back. New threads, no problem. The wait becomes progressive with the amount of posts.
