    I would get a full blood work up to make sure that you are not deficient in vital vitamins and minerals. Sounds like you are lacking some important things.

    Ursa, thank you for your very time consuming links. They are much appreciated! I am sure mamabear will find them interesting as well.

    Not all roads lead to Celiac. Maybe you're just getting a cold. It's that time of year for bugs to be going around. I have been coughing and sniffling for three weeks now.
  4. Lisa
    ditto on Pamela's!

    If I ate mozzerella sticks, onion rings and french fries - I'd be sick even without Celiac. It sounds like you will be uncomfortable eating gluten for three weeks. How long have you been off gluten? Three weeks a relatively little time to re-create an inflamed intestine. The endoscopy exam is nothing to worry about, at least from my experience...

    I rather like Bionaturae. Two years ago the gluten free foods were just awful. Trust me, there have been MAJOR improvements in taste, texture and availability. Hopefully, the price will be next.

    Hey mamabear, To be honest, I am very surprised that after 4 1/2 years, you aren't completely healed. Although, it's evident that progress is being made. Have you considered what Ursa Major mentioned that soy and dairy may play a role here. I don't know that I have ever seen any studies that link burnt/blunted villi with other causes other than gluten...

    Deb, Have a wonderful day. You're catching up to me! (Next year, typing classes)

    "...almost tempted" is not the same as DOING a challenge. Thank you for your imput.
  10. Lisa
    Yes. I had a six month period of time that I could not tolerate dairy. I have no issue now. But that is very typical for celiac.

    I don't think that gfp's response was directed to anyone in particular. Anytime that anyone of us eats out, we are exposed to potential cross contamination. That's a risk either by choice or necessity. As Laura pointed out, it's always important to minimize your risk as much as possible.

    Angie, Please refresh me. Why is Tori doing a challenge if you can't have her tested for deficiences? Are you doing Entrolabs?

    To my knowledge, some honey baked hams are gluten free IF they are cooked without the glaze. (some have glaze packets that you apply when re-heating the ham). It's the glaze that most likely is wheat based. If a ham already has the glaze on it, you CAN NOT eat around the glaze as it will be contaminated with the glutenous glaze. Some hams MAY have...

    I think that whatever aide you can find in the beginning of the diet would be most helpful. Be confident in the accuracy. I still use my Triumph Dining Guide and my Triumph cards (in English, French, Mexican, Chinese, Thai and Indian) as a guide and not product information. They have come in handy many times. Do remember though, these product listings...

    Oops, you didn't get that memo? I don't eat a lot a bread, but I have found that Kinnikinnick Foods make the best loaf bread and english muffins. You can find them at www.kinnikinnick.com

    It's good to know that others, gluten free for two years or so, share a similar experience. And it is hopeful also for those headed in that direction. It seems from the posts from Jestgar, kbtoyssini, Phyllis who has more years under her belt than anyone and Susie that the responses to gluten are far less severe, if not at all. Deb, I understand that...

    Please don't misunderstand my post. It certainly is not about bragging rights, far from it. It's more of a curiosity for me. When people who frequented this site feel better and confident in the diet they move on and no longer need the information and support found here. It isn't often that we hear from people who have successfully eliminated their symptoms...

    I have been gluten free since my diagnosis August 2005. Although I cook most of my meals and I order well when I eat out, I NEVER get sick. That sounds like a good thing, but I do wonder. Surely, in the past year, I have been exposed to some sort of goof or cross contamination. I don't even feel bad. I was fortunate never to have had the severe...

    Scotty, I doubt that it's the chicken, rather in it's preparation, or the fact that you are not healed yet. That will take some time. How did you prepare the poultry?
  20. Lisa
    Yes, the distilling process is said to remove the gluten from the alcohol.

    CC is short for Cross Contamination, which is very high at fast food joints. If you hunger for french fries. McD's is considered gluten free by the Celiac Sprue Association. (although, some here has reacted to the fries, perhaps too much grease?) And McD's (for the most part) have dedicated fryers, which means that nothing but french fries are put into...

    Burger Kings fries and the cc from the whopper would no doubt make ME sick and I am not sure about the chocolate.
  23. Lisa
    A dedicated frier is a must. Most fast foods have gluten free options on their website, as in www.wendys.com. Possible cross contamination is always a risk when eating out anywhere. That is always a personal choice.

    Welcome to the Board! Celiac has over 200 symptom and you and your son seem to have many of them. There is a specific blood panel for Celiac which consist of five tests. It is also important to remain on gluten until your testing is over. Any other testing, other than an endoscopy exam will not diagnose Celiac. There is a great deal of information...

    hummmm.....not much of a computer person. I'll have to call Peter in on this one. He can fix anything.
