  1. And what is it suppose to do for Celiac?
  2. Here is some information regarding gluten intolerance vs. allergy. https://www.celiac.com/articles/179/1/Aller...n-MD/Page1.html The Celiac Blood Panel (antibody testing) can be unreliable as can the biopsy through hit and miss sampling. The only sure test for Celiac Disease, gluten intolerance or gluten allergy is a positive dietary response. If...
  3. I enjoy their fries. Now, do some reasearch on the VERY EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION regarding McD's fries on this site in the past and come to your own conclusion. Open Original Shared Link
  4. Open Original Shared Link I thought that they had a gluten free listing, but this is what I found.
  5. Welcome Sprued, Gluten free food does not have to be expensive and it's readily available. Start simple. Meat, fish, veggies, rice, potatoes, fruit and other naturally gluten free foods. Gluten free processed food has come a LONG way in the last few years in taste and texture. Here is a listing of companies who's policy is to list all forms of...
  6. Welcome, Reflux and like symptoms can be associated with food tolerances including gluten. I would suggest that you try to go gluten free for a week or two and see if you symptoms improve. Gluten free does not mean just giving up wheat products. It includes rye, barley and malt. Gluten can hide everywhere from soy sauce to shampoos. It can be quite...
  7. I searched the Celiac Disease Foundation for Nebraska contacts and I am sorry that there is none. This site is one of the best forums for information regarding Celiac.
  8. A defined diagnosis is a personal choice. Your doctor is wise in his recommendation to you. Celiac Disease is classified by villious atrophy which may, if undiagnosed can have deadly consequences along with other unfortunate side issues. With a gluten sensitivity, you will have the same symptoms of Celiac Disease without the villious atrophy, but the prescription...
  9. I can understand this. How many of you wish that "gluten" had a different name. I always felt that being "gluten intolerant" sounded like you had an allergy to glue. That's why people look at you so oddly. I think we need to come up with another name for gluten. Any thoughts?
  10. Yeah, I watched her. I learned how to get my lower heart to smile. Oprah also talked about the "so many new diets these days" when Dr. Northrup was talking about "wheat is bad for many people." Not impressed with the Big O today.
  11. I am not in your area of the state, but you can find Lunberg rice cakes at Farm Fresh and some updated Food Lions. Here is a "warm" site where you can find a local contact who can direct you to covenient stores in the Fayetteville/Jacksonville area. Open Original Shared Link
  12. I cannot tell you about the reliability of their testing. I have had no relationship with Enterolabs. I do know that Enterolabs does NOT DIAGNOSE for Celiac Disease. It CAN test for sensitivities to various foods. If you choose to have a diagnosis or testing for Celiac Disease, this the the Blood Panel to request of your Doctor: Anti-gliadin antibodies...
  13. Open Original Shared Link Yup, all gluten. They are some of the good guys.
  14. Try to eliminate dairy for a while while you heal. I am sure that it will make a difference to you.
  15. La Choy is made by Con Agra, which is one of the companies who will list wheat, barley, rye, malt. It frequently is on my shopping list and I don't see any gluten ingredients. Please also confirm on your own when someone tells you that a product is gluten free. Some may have more knowledge than others and some may have a higher tollerance of gluten...
  16. La Choy Teriyaki is gluten free.
  17. Here you go (this email is from November 2005): RE: Quaker Rice Cakes , REF.# 025522610A Hello Annette: Thank you for contacting us about Quaker Rice Cakes. We do our best to provide accurate information so that you can make informed choices about the products you purchase. We are concerned for your health and want you to know that...
  18. Open Original Shared Link Here is a link that may get you started. This is a great sight for the best Celiac information available.
  19. Please don't waste your money. Learn to read labels instead.
  20. Here is a list of "good" companies who have a wonderful policy of listing all gluten (as "wheat, malt, barley, rye"): Open Original Shared Link It is better to rely on reliable companies rather than gluten free product listings.
  21. Yes, it's recommended to eat the equivalent of 3-4 slices of bread for at least two months.
  22. All Crest flavors are gluten free. (to include Crest Whitening Strips - see )
  23. I have been gluten free for two and a half years and I consider myself in remission. If I did have a cup of gluten, I most likely would not react. Now, if I had a cup of gluten every day for a week, I suspect that I would have classic Celiac (no *s*) symtoms. Gluten reactions are different in everyone. If you feel you want to be tested, you must...
  24. Quaker Oats are notorious for cross contamination.
  25. Please check Burger King, see below: Open Original Shared Link
