    True. However, I usually am very sensitive. I will be doing bloodwork in the next month as well. I think my doc would also like to do another endo but we are in discussions about that. Hez

    I know when I was new to the diet I would have reactions to food I knew was gluten-free. It took me about six months before I could really tell when I was glutened. Then I really found out the hard way! Depending on how much damage you have in your intestines, you may be getting sick not because of gluten. But because you have not healed. Just a thought...

    Well, I thought I would let everyone know how my experiment is working. I ordered gluten-free oats from the company in Wyoming. I have had oatmel for breakfast and oatmeal cookies. I have been eating them for almost a month. No reaction. I am NOT recommending you eat oats. Eating oats is a personal decision that each of us makes after doing the...

    I used to buy the Whole Foods brand (I believe it is 365) of frosted flakes. The other day I went in and read the ingredients (out of habit). I noticed that the label had changed and it now had malt flavor or malt something. I looked on their website and it looks like this cereal is no longer gluten-free Not happy Just a warning to check labels...

    A word of caution when using books as a reference. Like everything in life things can change over time (think vinegar, used to be considered unsafe, now we know it is safe). So things that were correctly written at the time may no longer hold true now. I find I depend on Gluten Free Living magazine's back cover to look for safe and unsafe ingredients....

    ARCHIVED Thyroid Problem

    hez replied to manja's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I no longer have a throid due to cancer (no big deal, very curable). I take synthroid once a day and have no issues. I remember looking up the medication shortly after my celiac dx, it was gluten-free. Hez

    Most commercial soy sauce is not gluten-free because it is fermented with wheat? Is that correct? You can easily find gluten-free soy sauce, I use San J. Another great find is for gluten-free pasta try Tinkyada. You will not be able to tell the difference! It is that good and worth the extra cost. Hez

    Most vinegar is safe because of the distilation process. EXCEPT Malt vinegar, this has gluten. I use Heinz ketchup, it is gluten-free. I also use French's and Gulden mustard (I do not know for sure it is gluten-free, however I do not react to it and I am sensitve). Hez

    If I paint my nails (which I haven't yet) I will use a gluten-free nail polish. I cook and eat with my hands. There seems to be a chance that the nail polish could then get ingested. Not worth the risk. I remember some of Opi's colors are gluten-free. As far as toes go I use my old nail polish (painted them yesterday). I am sure it has wheat in...

    I was like megzmc3611. I was told to go on the gluten-free diet about two weeks before the endo. The doctor was hopeful that she would see some villi. Unfortunatly, not a one was found. So my "last supper" (I even called it that) was some crappy leftovers I was too tired to make dinner. Had I known then what I know now I would have gone out to dinner...

    Corn gluten is safe. Hez

    We use Johnsville brats. I know there are alot of gluten-free sausages, just cannot for the life of me remember them. Hez

    I do get very frustrated and depressed at times. I feel like the disease has taken away my freedom to eat where I want, when I want, and to not read a label EVERY time I buy something. Having said that I have never cheated (I have been accidently glutened). Not because I am perfect or live in a bubble, more because I found a will to stay gluten-free. ...

    I have an angel food cake recipe that I love! It is not as airy as a traditional angel food but the taste is out of this world! Hez PS- I can post the recipe if someone wants it.

    Several months ago I went to the Hidden Valley website and they stated that the dressing is not gluten-free. I am not sure why this is so but it is Welcome to the board Hez

    Sorry, I can't remember which "brand" my dentist uses. I did contact the company and I had the ingredient list in front of me (dentist provided). They also informed me that it was gluten-free. I have had my teeth cleaned several times and have not had a issue. Hez

    I ordered one bag of oats from the gluten free oats people in Wyoming. I should be getting it in a couple of weeks. I am not sure if I will try it! I have visions of me just staring at the bag of oats. If I do try them I will post. I know there is debate among those that are experts. From what I understand a certain percent will react to the protein...

    ChelsE, I am so sorry to hear about your Grandpa. Just said a prayer. I am sorry that you are feeling bad as well. For me I did not feel better for about 6 months! Felt like an eternity. It might be that your body is still healing. The stress, fatigue and depression can make you feel horrible as well. Hang in there! Hez

    It is amazing how I can be alone at home on my computer and feel surrounded by people who know what I am going through. The emotional aspect of this disease has been hard for me. But having this board has been a life saver. I am truly thankful. Hez

    Welcome Jody! I am sure you will find this website helpful. I am the one who is gluten-free, the kids so far have tested negative. Do you have a support group for yourself with the kids? Wyoming is a big state so depending on where you are you may feel a bit isolated. Hopefully you will find the support you need. I am not in Wyoming but in Fort Collins...

    It certainly sounds like you could have been glutened. After gettting glutened I try to get some rest (easier said than done), drink lots of water and take Immodium AD for the D. Hope you feel better soon. Hez

    We also eat Oscar Mayer (I had to sing the song to remember the spelling ). I am always in the store when it is busy so I buy prepackaged. Just not worth the risk to me. hez
