    All of Smucker's Jellies and Jams are gluten free in the US.

    Yup, I am in agreement with Mushroom...biopsy trumps blood work (unless you are an alcoholic, anorexic, malnourished, have gastric infections, soy intolerance and/or dairy intolerance) But pretty sure you're a new member of the Club! Welcome! Doctors and Staff just need to read up on the newest research...or we can just inform them!

    Ah....no problem. I know multitudes of dumb wads in the government....no doubt you will excel BEYOND measure!!! Walk in with confidence!

    Oh yes, I agree with the "disease" part and I rather consider myself having a "disorder", but I have not analyzed that word too much. I would rather and have referred to it as as "pain in the ass". When dining, I usually say I have a gluten intolerance. When I get that "deer in the headlights stare", I go for "wheat makes me really sick". THEN...

    Just a note here...This thread if over four years old. Information found her may not be current. BUT, if cigarettes were a concern, the national organizations, foundations and research centers would have submitted warnings to the concerns of people with Celiac. I smoked for over 30 years before and after diagnosis. AND have looked up the ingredients...

    Me too! I really dislike it when people say "I am Celiac". I am a PERSON with Celiac Disease. Celiac does not define me.
  7. Lisa
    Well then, if you don't meet the criteria for the other issues that can cause intestinal atrophy, Celiac may be a true diagnosis. As it's been mentioned many times, gluten sensitivity has a wide range. Having been gluten free for several years, it may take repeated and consistent gluten exposure for an unknown period of time, for you to achieve a reaction...

    How were you diagnosed? There can be other causes for what would appear to be a positive biopsy. From a Medscape article: "Although villous atrophy is not exclusive of celiac disease, it is considered a crucial finding. Other causes of blunted villi include tropical sprue, malnutrition, intolerance to cow's milk, soy protein intolerance, and...

    Al Roker's daughter eats gluten free. AND btw...Where did Heidi Collins disappear too. She did some great Pubic Service Announcements for Celiac Disease.

    What is "good" chocolate Salax?
  11. Lisa
    Do other (non gluten sensitive) people in your household use the jar of mayo, and double dip?....thus contaminating the mayo.
  12. Lisa
    Peeps are all gluten free as are Cadbury mini eggs.
  13. Lisa
    Hold tight, Igg...weekends are very slow here. Take a walk around this site. It's full of information.
  14. Lisa
    Yes, and how is this? Please explain it to me? There is NO "celiac gene". DQ2 and DQ8 only indicate a predisposition to Celiac along with other issues. Only 20% of the people who carry this gene,will continue on to develop Celiac Disease. Your testing may indicate that you may have a gluten intolerance or a gluten allergy (or both - Enterolab...

    So glad to see that life is improving Texas Girl! Happy for you!

    Welcome to the Forum! If you have had dramatic dietary response on the diet, it's clear that you have a gluten intolerance. Whether or not you have Celiac...(your blood panel may indicate that) or a gluten allergy, both require an elimination of gluten. You have been tested (awaiting results) and feel better eating without gluten. No need...

    Report back! Inquiring minds want to know.

    Being diagnosed only a week, I would expect that most foods will be bothersome, with dairy in particular. I would keep it simple until you heal a bit and your system settles. Stay away from processed foods. You can later give it a go and see how you feel.

    Someone posted years ago that they use Pamela's Pancake Mix as the batter and then fried. Sounds good to me!

    My apology for any confusion. I often confuse myself
  23. Lisa
    Welcome reni! This is where I would normally say "Welcome to the Club!", but I sense your reservation on becoming a member. That's ok though...many of us have walked in your shoes. In conjunction of the positive Celiac Blood Panel and a confirmation with your endoscopy exam, a positive dietary response can be another piece of the puzzle (Although...
  24. Lisa
    that's all I'm sayin' No need to read too much into it.

    SMALL steps are Major Advances.... :D
