  1. Rob, I hope your answer is as easy as Celiac. Let us know.
  2. Hi Amy, Celiac, as you may know, can be an inherited disease. You may not have full symptomatic celiac, but celiac just the same or at least a gluten intolerance. You certainly have many of the 200 symptoms and I don't think, as you describe, your symptoms are silent and all can be attribuited to Celiac. Many, many of us have been wrongly diagnosed...
  3. Welcome, You don't have to spend a lot of money at health food stores. The key to all of this is learning to read labels. Here is a listing of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten: Open Original Shared Link ...all you have to do is look for wheat, barley, malt and rye.
  4. I would check into the ingredients of your hair dye. I know that the digestive issues clear up faster than the neurological ones. I would revisit anything that can get into your mouth and cross contamination just to insure that you are not getting any gluten. It's very hard to be totally 100% gluten free when beginning the diets because there is just...
  5. great minds with perfect timing.
  6. Here are the blood tests to order, all of them to be complete. Good luck and let us know. Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level.
  7. I have the 2006-07 version and I have used it quite a bit. I plan on getting the latest addition and I highly recommend it.
  8. Here are some instructions on giving a cat a pill. Hope it helps Jess. Open Original Shared Link
  9. Hey Sue, The gelatin and glycerin should not be a gluten issue. Perhaps, the soy.
  10. Hi Walt and Welcome this site. Celiac is an inherited disease. Your daughter got it from somewhere, you or your wife. Blood work can be highly unreliable and it always would depend on how long you have been consuming gluten. And endoscopy/biopsy can also be unreliable. These tests can rule Celiac in, but the cannot rule it out. Positive dietary...

  12. Way to go Jack! Bet he'll have a fan club in no time Emily. Jack gets the Advocacy Award for the Month. (bronze chin socks) . Congratulations.
  13. Here are some main stream products: Open Original Shared Link **Please note the disclaimer at the end of this listing.
  14. YUP #1 Rule: Always read the labels. I do suspect that the new gluten free Rice Chex have not hit your market as of yet. I have seen some older boxes (not gluten free) still on some shelves. Thank you for the reminder.
  15. As a 4th grade teacher, you should be aware of some school supplies have gluten. Play Doh is not gluten free. Google on this site a list of "gluten free school supplies", you should come up with a listing. And another thing to be careful is with the children's lunches. Watch out for their crumbs. Everything that gets in or near your mouth must be...
  16. Most of the answers to your questions are YES. Your are healing, you might be getting some cross contamination's somewhere and dairy could be bothering you. I may take several weeks to several months for you to heal. Old toasters, scratched pots and pans, cutting boards, can be objects for cross contamination. Have you checked your vitamins, meds, shampoo...
  17. This is a great place to be. I am glad you feel at home here.
  18. Woo Hoo! Thanks for posting Liz. I'll PM next time we plan on a trip to Raaaaleigh. I have fallen in love with Whole Foods Praire Bread...need some more.
  19. jewi: Let me jump in here.... as you may know, there are three ways to diagnose Celiac or gluten intolerance, blood work, endo/biopsy and positive dietary response. Although you may not have the positive blood work (which can be unreliable), you do have a positive dietary response. Many people here have had negative testing, but quite satisfied with...
  20. Stainless steel is pretty hard surface and any scratches would be fairly shallow. I would think that a good scrubbing would do....just my thoughts.
  21. hum....cutting edge of a butter knife.

  23. Do you plan on being tested for Celiac? I would say if soy flour gives you a headache, I would avoid it.
  24. Wow, this is a new one! It appears that your friend and her husband's doctor are very ill informed. There are three ways to diagnose Celiac Disease. 1. Blood Work 2. Endoscopy/biopsy 3. Positive dietary response and in the case of DH, a biopsy
