  1. Prilosec OTC is gluten free.
  2. I am so sorry that you are frustrated. I know all too well how hard celiac can be. I don't think that you can find any professional that has the combined knowledge of the people on this site. You are a part of the family. Venting or not, if you need some guidance or have questions, we're here!!
  3. Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, 7-up are gluten free.
  4. Personal messages are just that - PERSONAL and the contents should not be discussed on the full board without the consent of those involved. Thank you.
  5. Your key work is "positive"... Take time to read from some of these post. You might find a light bulb moment? Welcome, and please continue to join us.
  6. Brittany, may I call you that.? You tested positive for Celiac, which mean that you cannot have wheat, barley, rye, malt and selective oats. Being diagnosed with Celiac is a bit complex. You might overload and get hit hard by gluten symptoms and it might build up and may be dibiliatory at some time. Perhaps you doctor caught this early and you have...
  7. Yeah Karen came through.
  8. Wayne, I just checked on a 2007 list and it was not included. But that does not indicate that is is not gluten free. I take Prilosec OTC and Omepresol (sp)- scrip. Mylanta, is in my fridge. I cannot insure that it is gluten free, but it would not been in there if at some time I realized that it was not good to go. I have lost my ability to "know...
  9. Jo, No expert here, but I see no reason not to try going gluten free for her. I will not hurt. She is young and if she has a possitive dietary result, she may not recall gluten foods. Give it a try and see how it goes. Best of luck to you.
  10. After a while you learn to adapt. I have plenty of gluten free sweets when I choose. I cook better than I did. And the reward is better health. Restaurants are getting easier because of the continued awareness. Dinner invitations have dwingled. But then, those who don't want to inquire about my diet or ask a few questions, it may not be the place...
  11. As stated, it is always good to call a the company. If the MSG is wheat based, it is required by law to list that as an ingredient. Or it will show as an allergen statement....in the US.
  12. Although MSG may not be good for you and some people do react adversely to it, it is not gluten related, in the US.
  13. I have found Chilli's to be a good option for me. The wait staff is clueless (my experience). Contact the manager and they will provide a current list of gluten free items.
  14. I have the Triumph Dining Guide and it is very helpful when I leave town. If you would like to PM me the city where you daughter lives - I can send you come recommendations and contact numbers.
  15. I totally understand as I am sure most of us can. I remember walking down the grocery isles and feeling so angry! And I agree, I HATE FOOD COMMERCIALS. Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Pizza Hut are the worst for me. May of us go through a mourning stage and it is very natural. Once you get the hang of the diet and can read labels well your frustration...
  16. Although convenient, I would be vary wary of a two year old list of any kind.
  17. If you have a scheduled appointment with a GI, I would continue with that. Define you symptoms for the evaluation and they will be more likely to look for things such as Celiac. I do think it's important to rule out other things. I don't know how old you are, but it may be good to do a good base-line test for your small and large intestines.
  18. Many are gluten free, but the best rule of thumb is to always read the labels.
  19. (clearing my throat) A bit of a reminder....Board Rule #I comes to mind. Sign off, chill and come back with a more productive attitude.
  20. Thank you for your replies. My symptoms appear to be mild. I will watch it closely and consult with my doctor. Yes, stress can do a number on you and it's coming at me from all directions. I appreciate your thoughts and a special thanks to those that PM'd me.
  21. I am 52 and what do you know that I don't know. I have an appointment on the 28th of this month and gathering all the pertinent information that I can.
  22. *toe numbness *ankle and shin numbness * thigh tingles *occasional sharp knee pain and losing support *Shoulder joint pain. *All on the same side. That's right side.............. Left side, Can't balance on the left side Hand shaky, right hand is cool,. Any advise would be appreciated.
  23. Have you ever heard the saying...."only one ore in the water" Sound like some good memories.
  24. Great article Karen. I copied it to add to my file for my doctor's appointment in a few weeks. (the same one that didn't know what was wrong with me )
