    Celiac has over 200 symptoms and the ones you listed certainly fit. Here is some information that might pertain to the rash you have : https://www.celiac.com/categories/Dermatiti...Celiac-Disease/ Here is a blood test for Celiac: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase...

    Coke, Coffee and Alcohol are harsh on your insides regardless of Celiac. You are fortunate to be feeling some inprovement in a weeks time. It may take some time before you see a marked improvement. This is just the beginning.

    Someone inquired about this in the past. If I recall, they are using up their old containers and slowly integrating the new labeling containers. Yoplait has stated that the only gluten containing Yoplait are the crumbs and cookies. As always, when in doubt call. All of us have had a compromised digestive system and I would think it not unusual for...

    "Last year when I was diagnosed, I found that main brands of charcoal (i.e. Kingsford) had gluten. So last year I used cowboy charcoal, which is gluten-free and real wood. " Hi Laura, Last year, after alot of fuss over charcoal, I contacted Kingsford. I posted their repy and they indicated that Kingsford charcoal does not contain gluten. Open...

    Welcome to the Club! You have gotten the typical Doctor response. "Yup, Celiac", a pat on the back and the door hits you on the way out. You have found the best site available for information regarding Celiac and its associated issues. Questions/Answers: 1. Yes, Celiac stomach noises can wake the dead. 2. It has taken some time for you to be...

    Cheers to you Amanda! What good inspiration to so many.

    Open Original Shared Link This is UK information, but I suspect that it is similar in the US. I have never seen evidence that envelope glue contains gluten. If there is information contrary to this, please post. Open Original Shared Link

    Sorry that you have not been feeling well. Goof-ups can be frequent when you are learning to be gluten free. I wouldn't worry about other issues until you have been 100% gluten free for some time (with the exception to dairy, which is recommended to avoid) Once you have totally eliminated gluten, then you can hear the voices of other in tolerances IF...

    I am sorry that you (all) are going through a tough time. I do not have other food issues other than associated with Celiac, so I can not advise you about other food intolerance's. I DO know that anyone who jumps on the gluten free diet and claims to be 100% gluten free for the first several weeks, is delusional. (I do not mean this to be rude in anyway...

    Open Original Shared Link This article should be of interest to you. Your friend is correct, blood testing is not always accurate. It can rule Celiac in, but it cannot rule it out. If yours comes back positive, it means that you do have Celiac. If it is negative, you may have Celiac or you may not. Many people here have used Enterolabs and have...

    I have mentioned this before, I have not intentionally eaten gluten in close to three years. I KNOW that I have been exposed to some form of gluten or at the least some cross contamination. I have never reacted in the past year and a half. I consider myself in remission, though never cured. Today, it would take repetitive glutenings over an...

    Yes, it is one of the classic symptoms. Many people here have experienced the same thing. I recall that I could not get enough water and thought I was tripping over my tongue when I spoke. (well, more than usual). If I recall correctly, a very large percentage (80%? or more?) of fluids are absorbed through the small intestines. So if the villi are...

    Sorry that you have not been feeling well. It took some time for me to remove gluten and when I did, I realized that dairy needed to go for a while. I was able to add it back in a month or two. Gluten reactions can have a very loud voice. When it's silenced, you often find that other things are bothering you. B-12 takes a very long time to deplete...

    Open Original Shared Link In my neck of the woods, Sam's Club Rotisserie has never been gluten free. It may be different in other locations. We have always enjoyed Tyson's Baked Chicken.

    If your crock pot has a glazed/ ceramic surface, as most I have seen, a good washing should be all you need.

    Yeah....what she said. Caramel color used to be declared unsafe. But now it is not considered a gluten concern. There are a few sensitive people who may react to it. Enjoy your Dr.P. Open Original Shared Link

    This is a specialty in our house. Cook them according to the direction, but substitute Swanson's Chicken Broth for the Water. I also add whatever cheese I have in the house (butterhase if my fav.) You can serve with eggs and ham or bacon. I love to serve it with sauted shrimp and mushrooms on top.

    Have you been told that casein and whey are ingredients you should avoid, as well as maltodextrin and modified food starch?
  20. Lisa
    What you are describing is very common among us. Injections of B-12 helped me tremendously. Gradually I was able to take B-12 by mouth. Things will improve, but sometimes it seems like it takes forever. Hang in there.

    The worst part of it is the prep. The procedure itself is nothing to worry about. They let me drift off to sleep and woke up and everything was over.

    Any distilled alcohol is now considered safe for celiac to consume. There is a small portion of people who will react to grain based distilled alcohol and vinegars. What you need to be careful with is when flavor is added to alcohol. Seven up, Pepsi, Coke, Sprites and the Diets are glutuen free. Tonic and Soda water is of course. If you are in...

    Congratulation Elizabeth! Dosen't it feel good to feel good.

    Here is a list of wonderful companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten (ie. wheat, rye, barley and malt). This will be a remendous help shopping. Open Original Shared Link Good luck
