    Awww...got to jump in here (surprise anyone? ) For those who DO enjoy Grits, these stone-ground grits are the best there is!!! It takes time, but it's worth it. I cook mine in Swanson's chicken broth and when they are tender, I'll add whatever cheese I have on hand - but smoked Gouda or Havarti is the best!!! I usually serve them topped with...

    Your welcome dd. You might want to also check out the "Product Thread" here on the Forum. Many others have contact manufacturers with the gluten questions and post there. But, do pay attention to the dates. Manufacturers can change ingredients without notice. Cosmetic and such are a bit different....such BIG words to confuse us and a size that...

    ARCHIVED Could This Be?

    Lisa replied to BethJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Was your baked potato served sliced or whole. Gluten could have transferred from a knife that was used to slice up fried chicken, in a hectic kitchen.

    I have always heard that testing children under the age of five is unreliable. And the tendency can be genetic. Perhaps you can put your son on a gluten free/dairy free diet for a period of several months. Positive dietary response can be diagnosis as well.

    Well, I'm not quite sure about your question. It's accepted that most people with Celiac can handle 20ppm (parts per million) of gluten, safely. Also, it's often recommended to reintroduce gluten for testing, one must ingest 3-4 slices of bread (or equivalent) a day, for a period of six to eight weeks....a minimum for accuracy in testing. As...

    The link needs to be subscribed too. I copied and pasted the information for you. Do you or his father have digestive issues, or a history of intestinal distress (IBS)?

    Yup, good advise already... It's not the end of the world. Use gluten free beer for your clam bake and continue with your traditions. Until some healing can take place, all foods can be a bother, gluten or not. Also, as mentioned, dairy can mimic gluten symptoms, again until healing can take place. Most people can reintroduce it after a month...

    Open Original Shared Link 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 infectious gastroenteritis. However, most of these conditions can be readily excluded on the basis of clinical...

    I am so sorry that you feel so bad. It sucks sometimes and we all know it. It's ok to vent. I would go back to basics....eat simply i.e. meats, potatoes, whole grain rice, fresh veggies and fruit. Try to keep a balance diet and stay away from processed foods. Keep a food diary so you know what could be an issue and stay close to C.com. BTW - love...

    Open Original Shared Link Dextrose An ingredient made from starch, including rice, corn or wheat. It is a highly processed ingredient that is gluten free no matter which starch is used. Dextrin Dextrin made from corn, potato, arrowroot, rice, or tapioca is gluten free. It can be made from wheat, though this is rare and would not be gluten free....
  13. Lisa
    Yes, they are highly processed to a level that they are considered safe for those with Celiac Disease, regardless of the source, in the United States.

    Caramel color was not considered gluten free years ago, but with new research and refinement, it is no longer a concern for those with Celiac Disease. I would venture to say, if there is a reactions, that most are due to the high fructose corn syrup, not caramel color. But, all Coke and Pepsi are... OOOOPS....forgot to say WELCOME!
  15. Lisa
    It sounds like potentially getting "dizzy" might be a response to another ingredient, not gluten. Honey (excuse the pun, lol), the hams are without gluten. But there might be something else that you might be reacting too.

    Thanks HAMMY! (LOVE YOUR NAME)

    I also want add that you have found a great place to begin your venture. If the gluten free diet is what you feel you need, there is boundless assistance here. Feel free to take advantage of this great place.

    Welcome to the Board! You have listed a great deal of symptoms that are similar to those of Celiac Disease. Testing requires a blood panel, or an endoscopy exam or positive dietary response. The cumulative positive response is ideal. But, unfortunately not all testing is ideal. IF you are seeking answers to the road to good health...I would suggest...

    With me, and I know it's common, once you remove the gluten, you hear other "voices". Try to eliminate the dairy for a couple or three weeks and then re-introduce it slowly. Many times, it's only temporary during the duration when you are healing.
  20. Lisa
    If you are in the US, Maltodextrin is derived from corn and if there is wheat in the Food Starch-Modified, it by law, must be listed, as in "Modified Food Starch (wheat)". Honey Baked Spiral Hams (trademark), indeed, do not contain gluten ingredients, even in the honey glaze. ***The glaze DID contain gluten several years ago, but it no longer does. That...

    As a new grandmother, I was lucky to be invited into the delivery room and encouraged to be in the home, when baby arrived while dad was at work. I cleaned and cooked and offered anything that I was asked, and I respected the fact that I was in my daughters home. When she is in my home, I expect the same. I was grateful for that time. Grandpa knew he...

    There are other companies who will do allergen testing, which may be a bit more consistent with an insurance claim. Will check it out.
