    I'm not familiar with this products. I hope it's no too expensive. I hate it when a generic products is marketed with a fancy name for profit to the current "issue of the day". But, again, I'm not familiar with it. Generally, I think a full multi vitamin would helpful, with a healthy dose of yogurt daily, is the way to go.

    As a self diagnosed gluten intolerant, you may have settled your system, if you have been gluten free for a couple of years. Perhaps you can slowly reintroduce one product at a time. You might start with small amounts of corn and gradually increase the amount over a period of time, and see how you feel. You mentioned that you have a problem with iodized...

    Hi Rebecca. The term "celiac attack or gluten attack" is a term that I have heard here, but not sure how it's defined. Some people have strong, painful symtoms after gluten ingestion, within twenty minutes or so. I suppose that's what they mean. Perhaps this is a severe allergy, or severe gluten intollerance, or both. I personally, get very aggitated...

    "Against the Grain- Sesame Bagels" are the best I have eaten. And they make the best garlic toast.

    I don't have an issue with them gluten wise, I just don't like like them. Ick. If you are new to the diet, we can offer options.

    This the full panel for Celiac: 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 I assume you were tested with the above. Only 20% of people who carry the genes will carry on to develop Celiac. The other 80% , who...

    Yes Goldi, three days off gluten will not likely mess up your results. But insist that the below tests, be run in it's totality. Print it off and require the full panel. Insist if not demand. Many doctors are not Celiac Aware and don't order the full panel, and then the tests are not diagnostic in the end. So request it ALL -the full Panel. The following...

    Initially gluten and dairy are offen suggested to eliminate. And when the villi are healed, dairy can be introduced successfully. And many here have recognized additional intollerances over time. I am sure you have already reviewed her possible gluten intake (perhaps school or a friends house) and then, go very dairy light for a couple of weeks. Take...

    ARCHIVED Amtrak

    Lisa replied to Lisa's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Follow up... We had a great trip to DC, and the staff at Amtrak was great! I was able to get a ceasar salad with plain grilled chicken with Paul Newman's Dressing (without croutons) in the dining car. (although, I did bring a sandwich). It's so easy to bring your own food, too. If possible, Amtrak is the way to go, with none of the headaches...

    Hey Sweettea! Migraines and skin issues are closely associated with celiac disease. Are you aware of dematitis herpetiformis?
  12. Lisa
    Karen offer some great options. I could add Nutella on gluten free waffles (Vans) for a snack or breakfast. We like to dip (Snider's gluten-free) pretzels in Nutella. You could make a chex mix from the recipe on the box using Lea&Perrins Worchestershsire Sauce. Dorrito's(not all, read the label), Frito's or Cheeto's are a good option, with a gluten...

    ARCHIVED Amtrak

    Lisa posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Has anyone had success ordering off the menu in the dining car, while traveling on Amtrak? I was wondering if the meals are loaded pre-prepared, or can the kitchen offer some flexibility. The website indicates that they cannot offer gluten free dining. I have a feeling that I will be packing a lunch.
  14. Lisa
    Nope, not beer steam. I would have to be tangible particles splashed onto the chicken, possible in this case.
  15. Lisa
    I would think that as the beer-butt-chicken would cook, it would spatter around the grill....up the butt or not. Your chicken woudl be subjected to be cross contamination as well. But(t), I bet is was good though. Hope you feel better soon.

    Why don't some of you contact Katz. Perpaps some of their products are produced on dedicated equipment, without oats. It's worth the call.

    Hey Sasha and welcome. Most of us here have had very dramatic symptoms. I would suggest that you keep a food diary and perhaps you could pin-point a food, or foods which may be causing you discomfort. And you should make an appointment with your Primary Care Doctor and he can run some test. MANY issues can effect the "gut". Celiac requires a specific...

    It may be due to a vitamine deficiency, indirectly caused by Celiac. Have you been to the doctor to run a full panel? In the old days (several years ago) it used to be called an "Executive Panel", but your doctor would know. I certainly would recommend it.
  19. Lisa
    Nope We're the best. I have never subscribed to magazines on the Gluten Free Lifestyle, but do from time to time pick up a copy at B&N, for some recipe ideas. Joining some of the national orgainizations like the Celiac Disease Foundation will offer you a quarterly newsletter with some good information, as well as their web page.

    Indeed it is! An act of a COWARD (S)!

    Our thoughts are for our friends in Boston and for those injured. May retribution be quick.

    Hi. I'm not sure whether hair spray would contain gluten, but nasty fumes yes. I hate anything unnatural on my hair. I would look much younger if I would color my hair...but I have earned every one of my grey hairs. And I'm pretty sure that eye drops would not contain gluten. Just the nature of the product would indicate that. Taking perscribed meds...

    I am stating that caramel color and vanilla flavoring are not a gluten concern any more. If you review the thread, you may find some valuable information that you seek. EDIT: Peter provided some relevent links, while I pondered my reply.

    Thanks for the update bbop and welcome! Sonic is the least of all places I would stop, even for ice cream. <shivers>

    ARCHIVED Need Doc Huntsville Alabama

    Lisa replied to rjshill's topic in Doctors

    Many people here are self diagnosed and feel quite comfortable with their choice, and don't feel the need of an " official diagnosis". Were you gluten free at at the time of testing? You can remain on a full gluten diet (if you are not already) and be retested, or go full gluten free and document your results. Positive dietary results can be considered...
