    No, wheat is not added to the beans, but can be added to grounded roasted coffee, along with corn, dirt, twigs, soy beans, etc. When times are hard, people add all kinds of things to coffee. Think of the chicory coffee found in New Orleans! People have been watering down or adding stuff to coffee for centuries. I found the same article on TIME and...

    Yep, I saw that on the internet. Just one article and I am not sure of the reliability of the source: Open Original Shared Link BUT.........it is really only a concern outside the U.S., Canada and other countries that do not have any food labeling laws. My brand is Yuban and it is roasted and ground in California. But I am sure my Costco Decaf is...

    I am sure a parent will respond, but healing can take months to a couple of years (probably faster for kids). Antibodies for some people, take a long time to come down. I have never gone back for a follow-up celiac blood test because I have been diet compliant. How do I know? I have been cooking for my husband who has been gluten-free for 13 years. ...

    What if you do not get any symptoms from your pizza experiment? When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, my only symptom was anemia. My doctors had blamed my anemia on heavy periods from perimenopause for years and a genetic anemia. What if you react to the cheese, garlic, tomatoes and not to the gluten? How are you going to know? Perhaps you can...

    I do not have corn or soy intolerances, but I have issues with Xanthan gum. My husband does not. Go figure!

    Hang in there!

    Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well! My non-functioning gallbladder was removed seven years before my celiac disease diagnosis. Mine was infected and I had surgery during a business trip! I do recall feeling better after a week. But I also recall a doctor telling me that I could go back to work in two days! I stayed at home reclining on the sofa...

    I do not have one. My kitchen is too small. I have a nice hand mixer that has served me well. My grandmother (got the baking gene from her), simply used a wooden spoon. That is what is I use, along with my hands. I baked all my bread without a mixer. I once had a bread maker, but gave it away. There is nothing like kneading bread by hand. I suppose...

    My test results were "mildly positive" but the biopsy showed moderate to severe damage (Marsh Stage IIIB). My only symptom at the time was anemia and since I already had a genetic anemia and I was going through perimenopause (heavy periods), my doctors did not catch it. Only during a GI consult for a routine colonoscopy was my celiac disease caught (I seriously...

    You said that have a limited diet. What are you eating? What are you allergic or intolerant to?
  11. cyclinglady
    Your GI based this new diagnosis on a second biopsy? Were you tested for SIBO at the time of your biopsies? Depending on the damage first found (I had a Marsh stage IIIB), it can take up to three years for complete healing. First, you must consider age (kids tend to heal faster) and then you must master the gluten free diet. That in itself, has a steep...

    The crackers look to be just fine. It is a certified gluten-free product. Perhaps you are reacting to one of the ingredients? I had gluten-like issues with Xanthan Gum. It affects me, but not my husband. Go figure! I am sorry you are not feeling well.

    Sorry, I am at a loss. So, no cancer, mono, travels outside of the country? Have you read up in the forum about Mass Cell Activation Disorder? Perhaps others on this forum will be able to help! (Not that we diagnosis anyone but someone may have had comparable symptoms/issues.)
  14. cyclinglady
    I am not a doctor, but I am assuming that your doctors are looking beyond celiac and the gastrointestinal tract? Have they ruled out other diseases like mono, lymphoma, hormonal imbalances (e.g thyroid, perimenopausal), etc.?

    Congrats!

    Walk to the Gas Lamp District to the Old Spaghetti Factory. They are well trained. The menu even tells you to notify the manger. All food comes out separately. Menu is limited for Comic Con, but they should still have gluten-free items. Not expensive either. It is a family place. Whole meal comes with salad, pasta, tea, coffee or milk and ice cream...

    I purchased a Nesco Oven that was still in the original box at a garage sale. It sits on a table on the back patio along side my trusty old crockpot. I love my outdoor kitchen as it does not heat up the house!

    Grilling chicken wings and zucchini after I get back from band practice. Kid is in charge of the salad. She always creates artistic presentations. Makes the sale taste so much better!

    Ah, true. I was officially diagnosed in March 2013, but my husband has been gluten free for 13 years. He gave up gluten at the well-intentioned, if mis-guided' advice of my allergist and his GP. It has not been easy for him. He would be the first one to tell you that I have received so much more support than he has. But the fact that gluten provokes...

    Aw, the joys of having a genetic disease! Happily having another gluten free Thanksgiving this year with extended family. Imagine staying at a home that is gluten free. Thank you A***** clan!

    Open Original Shared Link Here is one link. You can search for more within the PubMed site. But, you should discuss with your doctor,,,,,,

    I am grain-free following a low carb, high fat diet for diabetes. It is working out well. Am six months into the diet. What do I eat? My new diet is rich in fats and protein. No more sugar highs and lows. At first I was bummed. No gluten, allergies, intolerances.......what more could I give up? Carbs! I can handle it, but our society is food driven...

    I hear you! I am waiting for some glucose tests! I am hoping that I have improved greatly! Anemia was really my only symptom when I went for a routine colonoscopy consult. Doc suggested celiac disease. I was shocked because my hubby has been gluten-free for 13 years. What are the odds? Docs never bothered about the anemia since I had a genetic...

    Recipe is on the Bon Appetite magazine website. To covert to gluten-free, I use Pamela's gluten-free blend that contains guar gum since Xantham gum bothers me. Make homemade frosting -- no store bought! Makes great cupcakes that freeze well even frosted. My entire family loves this recipe!

    You have to stay gluten free FOR LIFE! Each time you cheat, you are most likely causing damage. And when your celiac disease symptoms affect your brain or nerves, that damage can be damaged forever or if, you are lucky, recovery is possible. It is kind of like diabetic neuropathy. Maintaining good glucose control may allow the nerves to heal, but for...
