    Regular peanut butter (check to make sure it's gluten free - many but not all brands are), gluten-free pasta (sam mills is cheap, and the string pasta is incredibly space efficient), maybe some premade sandwhiches or just bread. Backpacking shouldn't be too much harder than usual, I've done several week long trips.

    Good to know. I believe it was the store-bought Friendlys ice cream I got glutened from. There wasn't anything in the ingredients list that was suspect, though

    Most studies have shown that gluten only affects you if you digest it. That being said, some people have reported getting rashes. I personally don't worry about dish soap.

    Hey, What exactly do you look for when you check labels? Do you just read the ingredients, or do you just check to make sure it's actually gluten free? There are a fair amount of foods out there whose ingredients look alright, but they aren't actually gluten-free. (Due to cross contamination in the factory, or cross contamination further down the processing...

    It is taboo to say this on this forum, but there are a large amount of celiacs who report getting glutened from vodka distilled from wheat. I do without a doubt. I stick with non-grain based vodka, rum, 100% agave tequila, wine, and cider.

    I know this is an old thread, but I'm pretty sure I just got glutened by friendly's mint chocolate chip ice cream too, sampleinajarglass. One of the only things that wasn't explicitly labeled gluten-free that I've ate in a while. Thought it'd be a safe guess. Thought I'd just put this out there. Anyone else eat friendly's ice cream flavors?

    hey! my blood test was also negative, but my biopsy positive. Blood tests aren't that reliable. Your symptoms sound exactly like mine when I react, and yeah, my brain fog gets pretty bad. When you first go gluten free, it's extremely easy to make mistakes, you probably aren't even realizing that you are. In addition to going gluten free (only items...

    Trader joes is a little bulls$#&. The ass%$@#s put "no gluten ingredients used!" as a label in most of their products. Which doesn't mean they are gluten free, at all

    Probiotics are a bit of a scam, no offense. I don't take them. I do take multivitamins (gluten free) and iron supplements when I'm reacting (and should when I'm not, but they are slightly pricy). Since you're a celiac you have an extremely hard time absorbing nutrients, so many of the symptoms you have isn't actually a direct symptom of celiacs, but is a...

    Brain fog hits me almost exactly 16 hours later. A week seems a little extreme to me.

    Technically, you've been pretty unhealthy before you went gluten free. Your body isn't up to it's prime and doesn't do it's thing. Maybe you just have big boobs, lol. I noticed myself gaining more muscle/getting healthier/more fit just from stopping gluten after a year and a half

    I think the best thing to do is study and learn exactly what you can and can't eat when you eat out. I know that's pretty obvious, but I think once you learn what things are more likely or not to have gluten, you can branch out a little bit. That being said, I usually go for a salad. If I get alcohol + a salad, I don't really feel like I compensating and...

    I probably have a nightmare where I drink beer or eat bread about once a week. Sucks

    I spent 5 months earlier this year living abroad. It's actually way easier than the United States, depending on where you go - their labeling rules may be better, food less processed, and restaurants in larger cities pretty good about gluten free items. If you're smart about it it shouldn't be a problem. I did a lot of crazy s$#&/had a good time/I'm...

    I believe wal marts brand of rice glutened me, as well. I only buy brands of rice that I know are gluten free or can go to their website. Otherwise, I don't trust them too much - it can have a large amount of gluten from how it is processed

    There is an extreme chance of cc in any starbucks drink, from what I've heard. Both from people online and from asking people who work there. That being said, do you guys know of anything at starbucks that has a higher chance of other drinks of being gluten free? Coffee and hot chocolate are made on shared equipment. Anything else that I'm missing?
  17. Nick-incollege
    If you're a legitimate celiac, no.
  18. Nick-incollege
    What do you guys usually get at a chinese place, and what type of things do you watch out for?
  19. Nick-incollege
    Yeah, what notme! said is pretty much what happens to me too. around 16 hours for the reaction to hit me, and then it lasts about a week and a half if it's a normal reaction from cross contamination or something. if it's from directly eating something (like, if i drank a beer) my reaction would be around 3 weeks. I only did this at the very beginning...

    try rice thins. (they're made by the same people as wheat thins) and are pretty great! gluten free too and made in a seperate dedicated facility. the cheddar ones are great, id eat them if i wasnt celiac

    My raynaud's went away as well! there has been a lot of connection between the two, actually
  22. Nick-incollege
    Also, my reaction pattern goes something like this: no symptoms for 16 hours. 2-3 days of severe brain fog/fatigue (stomach is fine these days) then this lifts and i get 1 week of a moderate to very upset stomach, and mild fatigue. A lot of people report immediate reactions, that only last a few hours, which scares me because that isn't what my celiac reactions...

    Hey guys, Are you any of you celiac without the bowel problems? The biggest symptom of celiacs is gas/stool problems, which I have none of despite being very much a celiac. I only get: severe brain fog, fatigue, ravaged stomach/esophagus. Just wondering what other people are like/if this sounds weird to you guys Nick
  24. Nick-incollege
    Just out of curiosity, why do you need gluten-free cat food? Do you react from touching it, or is it in the air or something?
  25. Nick-incollege
    I actually had another question on this. I know that if a product is labeled gluten-free, it has not been processed on lines that have also processed wheat, etc. But.. sometimes a website states "this item has been made using gluten-free ingredients". Does that mean it's safe? I.e., are there products out there that don't specify gluten-free on the...
