    I agree with most of you that said that the diet is very adjustable (as I speak two after the initial fact). It has become second nature for me as it has for others. If a person show a lack of preference for a certain gluten food item and makes reference of having a food allergy, fine. That fact may be dishonest and deceptive, but it is their choice and...

    Oh my, too funny!!!

    Bravie, You have had some wonderful giving people here offering and extended hand to help you cope with the diet. You don't appear to be very accepting, but more comfortable in the place that you find yourself. As Patti says, it is common to have ups and downs, but you have to be a player here. You are sabotaging your own health by some of the food...

    Wendy, Welcome to the Forum! You mentioned that you have cut out wheat and things contaminated with wheat. You might need to go an extra step and be totally gluten free. Being diagnosed with Celiac (and I assume that you have) you need to eliminate all wheat, malt, barley, rye and oats from your diet, and perhaps go dairy light of eliminate it all...

    I have contacted the company and will post a response regarding the "gluten" status of Mylanta.

    Justine, There is no type of Celiac. You either have it or you do not. Some people here have opted to have testing through Enterolabs, which would show a sensitivity to gluten, but it does not diagnose Celiac. Some have been satisfied that the sensitivity is cause for a gluten free diet, and have had success with the diet. The avenues for testing...

    In the US maltodextrin is most always derived from corn.

    Mylanta works well for me with bloating. I know it's hard to see our children in pain. You already have a diagnosis. Some accept that and go gluten free immediately. Other, would like to continue with and endocopy exam. It is always a personal choice. I hope that your time passes quickly without a lot of pain for your daughter. Lisa PS: ...

    Julie, I can hear the concern in your voice. I live in NC, but I am not familiar with any doctors in the Raleigh area. My only meager suggestion is that your mother stick to the basics of foods, chicken, beef, pork, rice, potatoes, fresh veggies. Keep processed foods to a minimum. If you mother can be comfortable with the basics, perhaps that will...

    It will take some time for your body to adjust. You have to remember that it took some time to cause the damage to your intestines and it will like wise, take some time to heal. Many see vast improvements in a few weeks other in many months. Keep going with a strict gluten free diet and I am sure you will continue to improve.

    I also want to add: The Virginia Pilot, Norfolk, Virginia ran a front page in the Flavor section "What Would You Eat If You Couldn't Eat Wheat?" August 8. Great article about Kathleen Davis who was diagnosed with Celiac and heads up the Chesapeake Celiac Chapter. It was a very accurate article and I e-mailed her and thanked her for her advocacy....

    ARCHIVED In Denial?

    Lisa replied to ladybug03's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    No, I have not pursued any gene testing. A positive biopsy with total villi blunting was indication enough for a Celiac diagnosis. I have never been critical of Enterolabs, but I prefer more conventional means to diagnose by blood work, endoscopy/biopsy and positive dietary response.

    Although Campbell's gluten free listing in short, they are a very respected company, IMO. Here is a gluten free list via snail mail: Chicken Broccoli Cheese Chunky Soup Savory Lentil Selct Soup Traditional Sauce - Prego - all sizes Three Cheese Sauce - Prego- 26oz Organic Sauces - Prego - All sized - Prego Mushroom - Prego - 4lb. 3oz Lower...

    It is my understanding that Enterolabs can NOT diagnose Celiac Disease.

    Hmmmm....remember that one less cigarette is one step closer. Take one day at a time. On Monday, I want you to throw this back at me!!

    Kat, I am only on day 3. Today I have had three cigs and I found myself putting them out half way finished. I thought wow, that's cool. Don't beat yourself up, try looking into the Lame Advertisement website and see if it may work for you. My doctor said that it has a 50% success rate. Or, there are other options available to you. My father...

    If my memory is correct from posts long ago, I believe that ell is NOT gluten free or at least in the preparation of it. Perhaps a search here for sushi could deliver an answer.
