    I noticed that you mentioned that you are eating Boar's Head turkey and ham. Are you getting that sliced from the deli counter? The reason I ask is because last time I ate some Boar's Head meat sliced from the deli counter I felt very sick afterward. I looked in to it, and found that while their meat is gluten free, sometimes the slicer may have been...

    Hi Icelandgirl, One of my favorite places to shop for gluten free food is Trader Joe's. Maybe you have one near you? I have to drive 2 1/2 hours to get there, but we make a fun day trip out of it and stock up on everything since their prices are so reasonable. Their frozen gluten free waffles are really good, and their gluten free Oreos are too. Their gluten...

    Wow Katie! I'm so glad to hear your numbers are looking so good! Thanks for sharing them. Everyone's advice and input has been soooo helpful. I am going to cancel my appointment with the dietician and save the money I would have spent on that for some gluten free goodies. Nicole/nvsmom, Thanks for mentioning that a weak positive after 6 months...

    Thanks Katie! I am feeling much better about those numbers now. I hope your numbers come back good tomorrow. Maybe you can share your results? I see you have anemia too. I found out that my ferritin is up from a 2 at my diagnosis to a 8 today too, so hopefully yours is improving too. I was thinking about the situations a little bit more. My Gastro...

    Thanks kareng! When the phone nurse was telling me my new numbers, I was really excited and proud that my hard work had paid off. Then she said I am probably still eating gluten since one of the numbers was still elevated and said they wanted me to see a dietician and have the test run again in about 6 weeks and also have a follow-up appointment with the...

    Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed with Celiac through blood test and biopsy and have been gluten free since early October. I have had a somewhat slow recovery, still experiencing some nausea, fatigue and brain fog, so my Gastro doctor just had me re-do the Sprue Serology blood work. All of the number have dropped significantly, but one remains above normal...

    Hi There, I posted earlier that my excessive hunger went away during my third week gluten free, but unfortunately sine then it came back with a vengeance during my forth week and is still pretty constant. I'm not sure how your DD's appetite is since you posted, but I've looked in to it a bit on this forum and it seems like it can come and go for a while....

    Thanks everyone for all of the great products suggestions and for clearing up to tocopherol issue. I am definitely going to try the products all of your recommended. So, here is something new that came up regarding my hairspray and I am wondering if anyone knows if this should be a concern. I wrote to make sure it was gluten free because I get a little...

    Hi There, Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. We have some similar issue so I though I would share what I have tried. I have Hay Fever and sinus allergies and had read in a health magazine that drinking Green Tea can somehow help. I drank a couple of cups of Tazo Zen Green Tea everyday and it really did help after a while. I don't know the science...

    Thanks for letting us know they brought it back this year for the holidays. I picked this up at Whole Foods last year before I was diagnosed and didn't even know it was gluten free. It is so delicious! They also make a White Chocolate Peppermint version and I was able to buy both versions at my local grocery store today. Next time I am near a Costco I will...

    That's great to hear that tocopherols are not something I need to worry about. I had read in a few places to make sure that they weren't sourced from wheat, but it sounds like that is just a myth. I'm not sure what ingredient I react to in most products, but am so happy that I can use my products that don't cause a reaction even if they have tocopheryl derived...

    I love shopping at the place you mentioned and am a Prime member, but I have ordered lots of gluten free goodies from Vitacost.com . They have a whole gluten free section and their prices are very good. I just checked and it looks like they ship to Canada too. Maybe their shipping rates would be lower? You can always find coupon codes for Vitacost on the...

    Hi All, I am a newbie and am in the process of trying to change all of my skin care and make up products to Gluten free, especially the products that come in contact with my mouth. I have very sensitive skin, sinuses and eyes and it has literally taken me years to find products that I don't have a reaction to. The problem is that those products may contain...

    That's fantastic that your DD is feeling better. I am a newbie too and have been gluten free for 3 1/2 weeks now. My experience was that I was painfully and uncomfortably hungry during my second week gluten free. I just couldn't eat enough to feel full. I even had to get up in the middle of the night and have a bowl of cereal every night just to make the...

    Thank you for the great advice cyclinglady! My anemia was what led to my Celiac diagnosis also. I am more comfortable taking the cautious approach you suggested - and I will try to be patient too. I have been so tired for so long that I want to see instant results, but it sounds like that is not realistic. I am glad to hear you are doing so great! It is...

    Hi Everyone, I am wondering if anyone has had success treating their Celiac related Iron Deficiency Anemia while taking a Proton Pump Inhibitor such as Prilosec or Prevacid? I am currently taking Prevacid for GERD and have been taking various PPI's for about 3 years now. I was just recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and am hoping that as my body...
