I assume because he told me not to drink it that the malt was barley. I guess someone could try to find out the source of the malt. I don't think I will call again. Tom

Heck I've already been halfway out the door twice. First for Rolling Rock and then for Amstel. Glad I read the follow up posts! Tom

ARCHIVED How Do You Get Your Teen To Eat Right?
par18 replied to cara's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi Cara, I may not be the best person to answer this as I have no children but I have often felt as though this is one of the hardest things to manage. I as an adult know what my options are and have to decide to do what is right. That said I have a few questions I would like to ask you. Is your son the only person in the house with celiac disease? If... -
Katherine, Thanks for the warning. By the way how did it taste? It has been over a year for me and I forgot how good beer was. Tom

I just called Latrobe Brewing. They confirmed the malt. Curses foiled again! Tom

Do you definitely have Celiac Disease? Tom

Hi Sillyak, My depression in the beginning was related to my physical condition. I was underweight and therefore unable to do those things that I had previously enjoyed. I took anti-anxiety medication only long enough to allow me to relax and sleep so I could gain back some weight. As soon as my physical condition improved I quit taking the meds. Dealing...

ARCHIVED "normal" People Just Don't Know How Good They Have It!

Karen, That is exactly what I told my wife when it was down. 1760 views. Way to go Mrs. Altoid! Tom -
I've made chili numerous times but I use the Goya kidney beans in a can. They are already cooked and I add them in the last 5 to 10 mins of the cooking time of the chili. Never had a problem. Tom

Hi Kiki, I was Dx'd almost 1 year ago. My symptoms went away in only 2 days. It did however take me about 10 weeks to gain any real weight. All of us are different. The biggest hurdle for me was to realize that I was going to be ok. Even though I did not gain weight right away I stopped losing as soon as I went gluten free. This told me I was healing...

Hi Lisa, I have a a couple of questions? First did you go completely gluten free for the couple of months? Also when you are in school can you get enough gluten free food to eat? You say you are in a dorm. Are you on a meal plan? Can you approach the school about your food sensitivity? There are a lot of naturally gluten free foods. This is not the most...

ARCHIVED Deli Meats
par18 replied to hstevens's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've been on the diet about a year and have never asked to clean slicer. I have had no problems. Usually get Boar's Head brand meats and cheese. Maybe I'm just lucky because I do have celiac disease. Tom -

ChelsE, Was that east BFE or west BFE? Also did they ask you to supersize? Tom -
I agree with this post and it is ok to feel sad in the beginning. I have heard two things since I have been gluten-free for almost a year that I take to heart. First food is fuel before anything else and second I eat to live and not live to eat. Good luck with the wedding. I personally did not have one but have been happily married for 21 years long after...

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Just Have Celiac Only?
par18 replied to Moongirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Was Dx'd at 55 and as far as I can tell based on the positive diet results that is all I have. Tom -
Amanda, I'm 56 and I had D issues for about the past 10 years. Last year after a bad bout of the flu I started losing weight and was positively Dx'd with Celiac Disease. My D symptoms were about once or twice a month and sometimes lasted as long as 1 or two weeks. I think I was accidentally going on and off gluten during those times and that is why...

Monica How long have you been on gluten-free diet? Tom -
I take a small bottle of La Choy with me to a local Chinese resturant and order the chicken and or shrimp with steamed veggies. Along with the steamed rice. I used my dining cards for first few visits but now they know me so all is well. (I read the label for the house soy sauce and it does contain wheat). Tom

ARCHIVED Simple, Unprocessed Foods
par18 replied to carriecraig's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Except for the desserts this listing looks very close to the exact diet I have been on the past 11 months. I think eating the mostly non-processed gluten free foods is the biggest reason I have not been glutened one time. One of my favorite cooking vessels is the crockpot. I have eaten all the leftovers that I have ever created. For this reason I am positive... -
