ARCHIVED Gluten Sensitivity?
Lisa replied to hojo70's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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. -
Yeah...your tolerance does change after going gluten free.

ARCHIVED Do I Need A Diagnosis?
Lisa replied to BeFree's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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. -
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.

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.

ARCHIVED Do I Need A Diagnosis?
Lisa replied to BeFree's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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! -
Progress!

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...

ARCHIVED Newly Gluten-Free And Frustrated With Ongoing Stomach Issues
Lisa replied to ifcrossroads's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
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. -
ARCHIVED Is Dr. Pepper Gluten Free?
Lisa replied to Mabc's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -

ARCHIVED Soups?
Lisa replied to Emily T's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED Is It Celiac Or Allergy
Lisa replied to timbalou's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome! And yes, it can just be a wheat allergy. What type of test did you have for Celiac? -
ARCHIVED Thanksgiving Tips?
Lisa replied to espresso261's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
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... -

ARCHIVED Olive Oil
Lisa replied to majicbunnies's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Shopping Guides?
Lisa replied to chrissyinnj's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
rose, this listing said it was last updated in 2005. Most like, inaccurate at this time. -
ARCHIVED Endoscopy Question
Lisa replied to cavetroll's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Shopping Guides?
Lisa replied to chrissyinnj's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
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...

ARCHIVED Celiac Disease With Gastritis And Granuloma On Endoscopy
Lisa replied to 3BoyMama's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
ARCHIVED Any Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerant People Without Symptoms?
Lisa replied to Katrala's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED Will The Diarrhea Ever End?
Lisa replied to Staceyshoe's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
ARCHIVED Will The Diarrhea Ever End?
Lisa replied to Staceyshoe's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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?
