    I was thinking the same thing as Lorka. Wondering if it was a different type of grain; a no- or low-gluten grain maybe? I know a lot of people here have enjoyed Chebe bread, which is a tapioca (manioc) bread common in Brazil. www.chebe.com Or maybe you're having an issue with more super-processed US baked goods rather than unprocessed homemade baked...

    Thank you Lisa!!! I'm an information addict. I'm always glad to know when people benefit from the research I like to do. I agree with you about Rachel. Rachel was one of the people here who welcomed me and made it so much easier for me when I first found out about celiac. Nancy

    I think that during the time period where the person is being instructed by the dietician and doing research there should be some additional things going on: - Various levels of exlax and/or ipecac put into their food/drinks. Some days are inexplicably fine, and other days they can barely leave the bathroom. - On the "good" days, they must...

    Oh my gosh! I just saw his audition. He's REALLY good. How exciting!!! Nancy

    I have loved their Black Bean and Veggie Enchiladas for about 15 years. I've been gluten-free for about a year. I was SOOOO happy that they were gluten free. But then, around the time everyone else started having problems, I got glutened by them. I was hoping it was just an adjustment period and bought one again about three months later. Zapped again...

    Oh my gosh! That's wonderful!! Thanks for posting that. Nancy

    Skyy is a wheat-based vodka. The filtration process is supposed to purify it to the point where it should be completely gluten free. And from what I've seen on the board, most people, even those with official diagnoses, can drink wheat based vodka with no problems. I'm one of the unlucky ones who will get zapped every time by a wheat-based vodka. It...

    Yes. I had a lot of symptoms, but one of the most life-limiting ones for me was gas. It was horrible, and so embarassing. I was very lucky and had a complete recovery going gluten-free. But if I even get cross contaminated, I get gas. So anything like malt flavoring would mess me up. Nancy

    I agree with Tiffany. You could get a second opinion if it makes you feel more comfortable, but if it comes back as celiac, there's pretty much nothing else it could be. I know that must be hard to hear, but it will get easier. There is a lot to learn, but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy actually. It's overwhelming at first. The thing...

    Oooo... Good question Tiffany! I bet there are a few on here. I would think being in show business during the undiagnosed period of the disease would make it almost impossible to do any kind of performing arts. Makes you wonder if there's a celebrity out there who has had a rep for being unreliable or flaky who actually has celiac. Nancy

    Coke is gluten-free!!

    Doesn't McCormick makes those flavors? I know the Vanilla I get is McCormick. If I remember right, McCormick is one of the companies who will fully disclose any allergens. I went to their website, and although they don't have a gluten-free list, they did say what the ingredients of the Imitation Butter Flavor is: Ingredients WATER, PROPYLENE GLYCOL...

    I just came across this old post while I was doing a search on something else. It's from 2005. I thought in light of Anheuser-Busch's launching of Red Bridge, this deserved a bump and a HUGE thank you to Jams! Nancy

    Judy - Try this - go to www.ewg.org . On the right side of the screen there's a green banner called Donate Now. Click the second button below that for Skin Deep. Nancy

    Thanks for posting this. I'm super-sensitive and get zapped all the time by stuff like that. That site is SOOO cool. I love that all the information is in one spot. Nancy

    In my case, my blood work AND my biopsy were all negative. I just tried the diet based on advice I got here. When I did, 18 years of GI symptoms, fibromyalgia-type pain so bad I could barely walk, headaches, insomnia, nightmares, exhaustion, etc., etc., etc. all went away. In my opinion the ONLY valid test of a gluten problem is the diet. Period...

    I think that the Gab/Chat threads are great. Such a big part of celiac disease is the years of being sick, being treated like a hypochondriac and/or being outright disbelieved or rejected by friends and family. Being able to come on here and have fun with people who have been through a lot of the same things is a much-needed part of the healing process...

    1. I think the most important thing is to have a well-informed server who not only takes you seriously but makes you feel safe and comfortable. I don't care if she has to run back to the kitchen 10 times to ask questions, or ends up finding out that the only thing I can have is an uncut baked potato. If I feel like the server is looking out for me, I...

    Hi! It's good to see you back. Keep us posted on the culinary school. I've been thinking about that myself at some point in the semi-distant future. Nancy

    On the subject of new people not feeling welcomed, I get worried about this sometimes. Has anyone else noticed our registered membership is approaching 12 thousand people??? There have been times when I have put in enough time on this board welcoming people and trying to give full, complete and friendly answers that I'm on here 6 hours a day. I just...

    I've got an idea about making people feel welcome, but it went off into it's own little thing. I also think it's a good thing to talk about for a new topic so it can be seen by more people and not buried in a topic that isn't really about welcoming people. Anyway, check for a new topic from me in a bit. Nancy

    Okay guys... I'm a little worried about my mental health because I'm now seriously craving Kentucky Fried Chicken for the first time in months. And if I'm being honest, it's the Extra Crispy that I'm craving. Nancy
