    I toast them every morning and spread them with peanut butter and marmalade. Just love 'em.

    Welcome Jen, Migraines can be a common symptom for Celiac, gluten intolerance or allergy. There is bountiful information on this site. Take a walk around and if we can help you in any way, let us know. This is the panel that you doctor should have ordered: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA...

    Hummm....why does this sound vaguely familiar to me. Someone, a while back seemed to imply the same thing, but I can't think who it might have been. But, I'll work on it. ...in the mean time, I hope no one takes this seriously.

    Ask for 6 to 8 samples from various places to biopsy. Don't worry, you won't remember a thing and it's painless. Take a friend with you. You won't remember the conversation with the Doctor post proceedure.

    You need to read the ingredients. Generally butter is gluten free.

    I am not good at interpreting test, but perhaps this will help: Table 1: Serologic tests for celiac disease--pitfalls Serology Comment AGA Relatively non-specific Anti-EMA Highest overall sensitivity and specificity, but poor sensitivity in patients with partial villous atrophy Anti-tTG Sensitivity and specificity not equivalent to anti...

    I don't know how old your daughter is, but the celiac panel is highly unreliable for children under the age of five.

    We are glad that we can be of some help. Hopefully, you will have a resolution to your problems soon.

    From my experience: You can read about a product that is gluten free on this site.* You can look at a shelf label that states a product is gluten free. You can learn from your cousin's second wife about a gluten free product. You can trust a hourly paid customer service rep to inform you on a gluten free product. You can order at a restaurant...

    ARCHIVED Chili's

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

    Yes, the menu is limited, but it is a gluten free menu and I shall not complain. BUT, your gluten free meal is only as good as the employees that handle it. I have found the employees at Chilli's to be mighty slack in their concern. Cross contamination could be a big player here. I am sure that others have had a good experience, but do be cautious...

    ARCHIVED What Now

    Lisa replied to christine d's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    You are among good company! Once you master the gluten free diet and gluten is removed, then you can hear some other voices of issues. It's often recommended to you illiminate dairy along with gluten. Try to give up dairy for a month or two. After some time, I easily reintroduced dairy and I have no problem now. It might also be helpful...

    Sounds like there is a communication problem between your family doctor and the GI. After your consultation, you made it clean that he was to take samples for Celiac Disease -- and he did not biopsy that area. Uh, I would get my money back. Unfortunately, your story is one of thousands that I have read here. Many of us have learned to be our own advocates...

    I think that psychological effect of smelling gluten can make you feel queasy. But, you can't get the autoimmune response from smelling gluten, unless you inhale-ingest gluten.

    ARCHIVED 9-ll

    Lisa posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    To all those among us who have lost family and friends to the attacks on 9-ll, I wish you peace of mind and wonderful memories of those who are no longer with us. We will never forget.

    These are the tests to order for Celiac Disease: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. Your doctor can order some allergy testing.

    I was also watching the Today Show. I was worried about so many people, including which airlines hit the towers, Pentagon and Pennsylvania. It was very surreal looking up in the skies and seeing NO planes, when they have been so much a part of our lives. We had a Polish exchange student at the time and her panicked father called.

    I would think it very unlikely. You could be getting ill from grimmy little or big hands or crumbs from the food court.

    Both are gluten free, but so are broccoli and carrots. I believe it's called "jumping on the bandwagon". I suppose that some brands could have some additives. But pure baking soda and powers do not contain gluten.

    You can be on the look out for the R.O.C.K candy list. They issue a current candy list around halloween time. Here is a 2007 Listing: Open Original Shared Link

    You will learn that everyone is different. Some react rather quickly and some react 24 or more hours later. At my sickest, I believe it took about 20 minutes. Now, if I do react, it might take about 24 hours. A lot depends on healing. The numbness is called peripheral neuropathy and it can be caused by autoimmune diseases, diabetes and alcoholism...

    Yasmin is listed as gluten free below. With this information and information from the company, I would consider your BC safe. Open Original Shared Link

    ARCHIVED Touching Gluton?

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

    Gluten can not be absorbed through the skin, but the flour dust can be inhaled and create problems for you. If you have a gluten allergy, it may be an issue. I would think that the dust from the flour would be everywhere in your kitchen and contaminate everything near. Maybe you can buy some good homemade bakery goodies for your son.

    I would like to see the documentation for your statement. It is FDA LAW that should Maltodextrin be derived from a wheat sourse that it MUST be listed as "Maltodextrine (wheat)", in the United States.
  25. Lisa
    Here is some information on symptoms: https://www.celiac.com/articles/1106/1/Celi...toms/Page1.html Everyone is different as far as reactions. But, you certainly have some related symptoms for Celiac, gluten intolerance or gluten allergy. If you decide to test, this is what should be ordered from a doctors: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both...
