  1. Well, testing has advance in recent years. I would consider retesting. And after that, try the full diet and see if you have symptom relief.
  2. Yeah...your tolerance does change after going gluten free.
  3. I must add, as a word of caution.....that if you have had an extended time with intestinal distress, mineral deficiency or issue with absorption, you should seek some medical testing. It's a good measure for your medical history and to rule out other issues of greater concerns.
  4. I don't have DH and should not comment, but I have always heard the DH is iodine sensitive. Perhaps that might be an avenue you could pursue.
  5. Maalox can clear me out within hours. I am certain it's gluten free, but magnesium (an antacid) seems to be a bother to me, as with other antacids. Me thinks it does not dance well with red wine.
  6. How can you argue with success! Consider yourself Gluten Intolerant, which carries a wide spectrum. Labels aren't too important here. If it feels good, keep it up! Congratulations Ooops....forgot my manners, WELCOME!
  7. Progress!
  8. I don't think it's probable/possible that you could be sickened by the fumes of someone who just ate a sandwich. In the beginning for me, every thing freaked me out too. But, I don't think that this is physically possible. Have you considered your cat. Is the cat's food and litter gluten free? Keep a food log. You know, it can take up to several...
  9. Hello and Welcome! I would suggest you give up dairy along with gluten for three weeks and see if you improve. Often time, when some healing takes place, dairy can be reintroduced successfully.
  10. I don't doubt your illness..I can't. But I do doubt the ability of gluten strips to detect trace amounts of gluten on an orange rind and then cross "contact" to the point that one would become ill. Sound a bit extreme, to me. Naturally gluten free produce should not be a concern for people with Celiac or gluten sensitivity. Learning the diet is difficult...
  11. Dining out tonight, but will try this tomorrow eve with garlic mashed potatoes: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/traditional-osso-buco/detail.aspx
  12. Here is another link to Pacific Foods Soups: Open Original Shared Link
  13. Frustrating...for sure! Not to add to your confusion but, Campbell USA and Campbell Canada have totally different gluten free products, with the USA listing very limited (if I recall almost no, if not all soups contain gluten). The Canadian listing is more extensive. Progresso is a great company and will clearly list all forms of gluten on their...
  14. Welcome! And yes, it can just be a wheat allergy. What type of test did you have for Celiac?
  15. I think that it's really hard for non celiac people to understand. I would bring enough sides that you can enjoy your meal. And, most people have not problem with you serving your plate first to avoid cross contamination. You said you were planning on contributing. Bring some rice or sweet potato casserole, vegetables...countless gluten free options...
  16. moi aussi Looong couple of days!
  17. Please take note that this thread originated in 2006. Product information changed. And yes, as Gemini and others have stated, Olive Oil should not be a concern for those with gluten concerns.
  18. rose, this listing said it was last updated in 2005. Most like, inaccurate at this time.
  19. Eliminating gluten from your diet can be very complicated. All gluten must be removed to see if a dietary improvement can be marked. Cosmetics, lotions, lipsticks/lip balms and shared kitchen ware as in toasters, condiments with double dipping (a shared jar of mayo or peanut butter). I don't think that I have found a medicine, that had gluten, but yes...
  20. YES, perfect for your son's situation. Eventually he will (or needs to) learn to read labels, but a grocery guide will do in the mean time. And both are as reliable as it gets. If the need arises, they will send you e-mails regarding a product change. I like that. I would recommend two: www.CeceliasMarketplace.com www.triumphdining.com (Grocery...
  21. The internet if full of information. Some accurate and some not. You have to pick and choose what applies to you and your situation. Same here on this site. Celiac Disease carries over 200 symptoms. None of us have the same blue print. Take the information that you find here and fine tune it to make your life more comfortable, and disregard the rest...
  22. Yes, yes...I agree with Peter! There are other possibilities of blunted villi, but coupled with the symptoms, it appears that gluten may be a good indicator. Do you have a family history of digestive issues? The tenancy can be a heredity. Before you explore a gluten free diet, I would re-test for a full blood test. There are now new tests that are...
  23. No, no...not a silly question at all. Many people here have been diagnosed with Celiac as a secondary issue. Although gluten can not be attributed to all our issues, it can play a part - large or small. That part varies widely amongst us. But, to answer your question, I have a minimal reaction to exposure after six years of being gluten free, 2...
  24. He might have had an issue with oats all along. Since you eliminated the gluten, the oat spoke up....know what I mean? You might find that dairy is the issue. Often time, dairy can be introduced with no issue. I would give it a month or two, though. Consider turning our entire house hold gluten free. It will be much easier on you in the long...
  25. Four weeks is a looong time for a six year old to have diarrhea . I would take him off oats and revisit everything. Diary might be an issues as well. Make certain that he is hydrated. Is he under a doctors care at this time?
