    cait,why don't you feel better? I don't know your history, but how can we help you?

    Did you enjoy your care package? Maybe it gave your some suggestions. I think that you will have to gather the energy and find some foods that you enjoy. Cooking can be fun and sometimes a bit of a challenge for those who don't find it natural, yet very rewarding. For most of us food is a compulsion. Making it as good as it gets, takes an effort...

    Well Good! Glad that's settled.

    There is quite a bit of information about the SCD here. Let me see if I can retrieve the thread.... be right back. Here it is. A little light reading of 161 pages

    There currently is no test to diagnose gluten sensitivity, regardless of what Enterolabs says. Obviously, I am not a fan. Open Original Shared Link "With gluten sensitivity patients, there is a spectrum of symptoms and manifestations. We’ve seen some people with Dermatitis Herpeteformis who have no intestinal damage. There is currently no test s...

    Oh, not me! It's high (really high) pollen season with windows wide open. I have taken great pleasure in writing graphite all over my furniture.

    Yes, it's unusually low, but we are somewhat rural, economically challenged and jobs are scarce.

    Ten dollars and hour, in North Carolina.

    I really would consider the CYA statement most accurate of the options. But, try to lay off the pistachios for a few weeks, let some healing take place and then try them again. Most likely, you won't have an issue. There is light at the end of the tunnel! Trust me

    Everyone's sensitivity differs. It may be a CYA statement, but of course there is the possibility of cross contamination, per your sensitivity level. Although, shared equipment is more of a concern than a shared facility. If you are newly diagnosed, all foods can be an issues for you gluten free or not. Healing takes time. I would recommend...

    You can often Google brands, followed by a dash and gluten free and find some results. Hope this will help: Open Original Shared Link

    It could be a hiatal hernia, which is common among those with Celiac. Welcome!

    I have never heard this in almost seven years on this board. What increased risk? It's not a colon disorder. I think she knows nutting! You should choose your method of birth. I can't see a reason where having Celiac would be a concern in your delivery. But as always, check with your doctor. Is there a natural childbirth instructor available...

    This is great way to understand gluten intake, from the folk who know best: Open Original Shared Link

    Nope. They are rotissarized in the deli section of our local Food Lion, and packaged hot in a little tote box, and labeled Purdue. Pretty good, but not too sure you have a Food Lion in your new neck of the woods. http://www.perdue.com/products/details.asp?id=606&title=PERDUE%AE%20Oven-Roasted%20Rotisserie%20Chicken Here ya go: http://www.perdue...

    What is gluten free in one area of the country/world, may not be in the other. I would assume that large grocery chain stores have various suppliers, who may use different ingredients in their products. I don't know that as a fact, but it makes sense to me.

    Yummy I do love lamb shanks. But they are hard to get here without a special order. You have lambs, we have.....um, pigs. I made beef/pork BBQ in the Crock. Second time I have used a crock pot, but everyone was very pleased with the results. That's a good thing. ...with cole slaw and mac & cheese. Country tonight. Feel better soon Loves...

    ...and lesson learned.

    Help me bookmark this one for future offering. Hope everyone will save this and offer it to those newly diagnosed.

    This is a great resource for the newly diagnosed: Open Original Shared Link

    The traditional method of diagnosis is the blood test and/or an endoscopy exam. Surely, as a GI he would know this. The following are the celiac specific blood tests: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA Welcome...

    Yes, although your history my be tragic, often times stress can be a trigger for Celiac to kick in. Are you able to be tested? Mention this to your therapist and with hopes she/he can arrange for appropriate testing.
  25. Lisa
    I guess you don't. You do your best to be gluten free, but that does not save you from the "disease of the day" as my Primary Doctor refers....the crud around the office or the crazy pollen that is making everyone miserable, the flu. Sometimes we concentrate on the gluten issues, but seem to forget about the daily ills we used to come into contact with...
