    You have been gluten-free for about a month or so, right? There is more healing time needed to get back to normal absorption and your nails will probably start to look better with time. They may take extra extra time, since they take a while to grow out and fully replenish the whole nail.

    I am sensitive to most makeup products. I just don't wear makeup anymore unless it is a special occasion like a wedding or job interview. I know I cannot have cocoa butter, shea butter, and anything heavily fragranced, but other things are harder to pinpoint. A good way to narrow down what ingredient is causing your issue is to find the ingredient list...

    I can second the Mitchum... when I was a teenager there were a few years where it was the only thing that helped.

    That cake is so cute!!! I grilled up a top sirloin steak yesterday and had baked sweet potatoes and green beans on the side.

    Welcome to the forum! When you see your doctor about all this, ask them if they can draw labs for the more common rheumatology factors to check for autoimmune conditions, and see if they will pull a few Celiac labs to potentially rule it out. Also have them do standard screening bloodwork like CBC, CMP, thyroid, etc that they would do on a checkup if...

    Must be it getting past first quarter and people wanting to hire? Whatever it is, its good! Hopefully you hear back on some of those soon :)

    You're very welcome. Are you new to the gluten-free diet? HEB has some great store brand stuff... their gluten-free cornbread mix is really good and I use it often, but other mixes in the brown boxes not as much. They have gluten-free chicken nuggets and strips... they are in the freezer section in a big blue/tan bag. Those are my favorite to keep on...

    HEB is a supermarket chain in Texas. They have Central Market which is their more upscale gourmet place, in the big cities. They have lots of good store brand stuff and are the best around here as far as labeling store brand things as gluten-free which helps save money on that gluten-free grocery budget.

    You may find this article an interesting read... some people who still have symptoms on a gluten-free diet have gone on the Fasano Gluten Contamination Elimination diet which cuts out basically anything processed. Some see improvement. Open Original Shared Link

    Welcome to the forum Rachel! I shop primarily at HEB and have bought the blendables things. HEB has a lot of products that they will put the gluten-free seal on, and that is not one of those. However, when I have contacted them before, they let me know they are constantly getting new HEB brand products from many manufacturers and are working on putting...

    The best information source on medications is the manufacturer, so if you haven't already sent them an email inquiring, go ahead and do that now. There is a website where you can search medications and their ingredients, which is Open Original Shared Link... and Open Original Shared Link doesn't show anything that would be suspect of gluten. But contact...

    FYI, Most of the info in this thread is 7 years old, so be sure to update yourself on some more current product info before buying pasta sauce.

    The first step recommended for first-degree relatives of someone with Celiac is toOpen Original Shared Link. If the genetic test is positive, then the individual should have antibody screening regularly to help determine if the disease is active. This should be done Open Original Shared Link. A great way to do this is to get this done with other screening...

    Welcome to the forum, Hasan. Not all Celiacs get outward symptoms when they eat gluten. It varys per person. When your doctor told you to go gluten free because the endoscopy biopsy could have missed it, he was correct. Celiac damage can be patchy, and they need to take a number of samples to ensure they don't miss anything.

    This may vary from company to company, best to each check with their own plan about what is covered and when.

    Cadbury eggs don't contain any gluten ingredients but the manufacturer, Open Original Shared Link, will not put them on their gluten-free list due to potential cross contamination. Of course this applies to the US, so if you are in another country that may differ. Open Original Shared Link. It is a pretty hotly debated topic sometimes.

    Thanks for digging that up, Karen. I think I saw a Celiac blogger post about these, I forget who it was. But said they are decent. I may try one, looks like a good option for if I am away from home.

    I have nothing to add except: Yep, blame the ex!!!

    Welcome to the forum! I am so glad you fully understand the benefits of getting tested and going gluten-free if need be...no better legacy to leave behind than the gift of health and life.

    That is quite profound that he has gone a week seizure free. Have them run the tests but like you said, if cutting gluten does the trick, then definitely keep it that way. Weighing the risk versus benefit of putting him back on gluten, this may be one of those cases where it isn't worth it.

    That is awesome you were able to take a small step and get out of house mom mode! I would have questioned the fish and rice, too. LOL That KAF bread mix I made is fantastic... my loaf pan makes a really wide loaf, will invest in a more narrow pan for sure. But why did I not ever make gluten-free bread until now? No idea, it is so easy. The day after...

    Did the neuro order the blood tests? Sometimes specialists will refer to other specialists if it is outside of their scope of care. However, if he has seen him for a long time hopefully he will just order them. Also, don't feel bad about feeding him wheat bread. No worse on the gluten scale than regular bread.... they are all bad. That may not make...

    Can you use your mouse to highlight, then right click and copy... or highlight with mouse and press ctrl and c at the same time. ctrl and v at the same time to paste.
  24. LauraTX
    Yep that is funny. Kind of long, but funny.
  25. LauraTX
    It is a good point that sometimes we can blame things on gluten even if they're not, it can be impossible to tell many times. Also, did you eat a lot of the mozzarella? I would eat a ton of fresh, delicious mozzarella, so also could be symptoms from just eating too much of it. A good way to test that would be to eat an equivalent amount of a safe, packaged...
