Your reactions do sound like the same reaction I get when I eat either oats or dairy. Hmmm! Hope you feel better soon.

I love chicken and dumplings too. I did try the Betty Crocker recipe, but I used the recipe on the box for biscuits (I like my dumplings rolled out and sliced into strips). While the dumplings did fall apart to some degree, they tasted great. I'll try adding a bit more flour next time to see if that helps.

Wanted to ask about the aches and pains associated with celiac. My aches and pains are getting worse and I am worried I may have something else in addition to it and Hashimoto's. Have always had general aches and pains (I call them zingers...the sharp pin prick type of pain) that I have associated with my celiac, but it has really gotten much worse lately...

You guys are all so great! I thought I was really humming right along with my gluten-free practices, but you've given me a couple of other things to think about now. I definitely need to redo the chips bag practices and had not thought about washing the dishes, or drying them for that matter, separately. Thanks so much! Still struggling, but was able...

Icelandgirl, So glad you found this site. It has some great people that give great advice. I don't know what I would have done if I had not found them last year when I was looking for answers. Just wanted to comment on a coupe of questions you had. Don't let anyone convince you what you are going through is all in your head. The gluten withdrawal is...

Anybody else get a chuckle out of "public area"? I'll blame it on brain fog

Just rechecked the Trader Joe's box...I actually says may be processed on equipment that processes wheat and nuts...Aww. Darn. How'd I miss that before? I thought I checked all of that. Maybe that's why they're on the list?

After being in a gluten free diet for 6months and not getting a sinus infection for any of that time, I was put on levofloxacin for a sinus infection that I had been fighting for about a month. Caused immediate major muscle and joint pain, headache, exhaustion. Has anyone else had a problem with it? I only took two pills. My doc changed me to cefuroxime...

I wondered if it was the cream of tarter, but from what I could find, it shouldn't be a problem. I did notice several gluten free meringue recipes don't have it in it though.

The unsafe foods list on celiac.com's own site...that's why I asked. I've recently been having some major joint and muscle pain issues and thought I'd look over the list again...and it was there.

One of my favorites from Trader Joes is the meringues, but I noticed meringues are listed on the unsafe gluten free list. Does anyone know why?

Gonna check the lotion my dermatologist gave me. ..... It's ok....cerave.

Doesn't drink beer and tries to be careful if he's ingested gluten. He loves ribs and those worry me a bit, but he tries to clean it out well . You know, I have tried to keep all of my soap, shampoo, makeup, etc. gluten free, but you caused me to think about something...I teach and the soap at school I have no clue about. I need to remedy that. I'll take...

Hadn't thought about the chips bag. I don't eat them often, but will have to watch that. I may need to put my utensils and pans in a totally different area. I have told her, but haven't marked the frying pans. I have my own toaster, pans, utensils, and plastic storage containers. I label most things in the fridge. I had to stop trying to cook things...

My doctor took these two tests: TSH w/reflex to FT4 .16 lab range says .4-4.5 T4, Free 1.4 lab range says .8-1.8 Thanks.
