	  ARCHIVED New here with questions :)Ennis-TX replied to Mermaid's Mom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms Not really, it is just another symptom of celiac disease that can manifest, as a auto immune disease it effects all of us differently. Also on the mac and cheese there are plenty of dairy free alternatives. I make my own dairy free cheese sauce to smother over foods and in dishes. There are ones out there by Daiya, Udi, and a few others for gluten-free and...

	  ARCHIVED Glutened, It can Happen.Ennis-TX replied to Ennis-TX's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease No the canned beets were contaminated. it was off brand from the local chain down here. They do a bunch of sauced veggie lines also, and I assume that is where it came from but I did have another can and test it by itself to confirm.

	  ARCHIVED New here with questions :)Ennis-TX replied to Mermaid's Mom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms Yep I suffered from the gluten ataxia, grew up slowly going in a downward spiral, They always thought it was ADHD and Bipolar, we later confirmed I do have Aspergers and the ADHD, Bipolar like stuff seems to have cleared up to some degree with the gluten-free Diet. In addition to the b12 and Iron look into Magnesium it is a common issue and can lead to the...

	  ARCHIVED Soaps?! Dish soaps, bar soaps and hand soapsEnnis-TX replied to Jherm21's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications Hugo Naturals, Grandpa Soap, Had luck with Ms Mayer's for hand and dish. As of late, nothing sticks to my dishes, just rinses off then loads in the dishwasher for sanitation cleaning.....now that I think about it not had to use a dish soap in over 2 years, vegan, gluten-free, and starch free cooking does not stick to stuff.

	  ARCHIVED Biopsy and Colonocopy ResultsEnnis-TX replied to Ennis-TX's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease I know right but we can dream, imagine a artificial one even. While we still might suffer the other autoimmune responses at least the gut issues would be gone ^.^ . Still would avoid gluten as I have issues with nerve and brain also being attacked but I can think of it as such much less of a burden with less limitation with a artificial gut. Hell might even...

	  ARCHIVED Biopsy and Colonocopy ResultsEnnis-TX posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease Doctors called me this morning with biopsy and complete results on my colonoscopy. Seems like in addition to celiac and acid reflux, I now have confirmation on record of Ulcerative Colitis AND IBS. Good news is the biopsies came back negative for cancer, bacteria, etc. Doctors even got me on a prescription that is for the the colitis I need to go pick up...

	  ARCHIVED GliadinX Breaks Down Gluten in the GutEnnis-TX replied to Scott Adams's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease I been advocating against this product and the post about it this month constantly. It is very confusing to new people with the disease or the uneducated who take it at face value. Sure it might help break down the protein in the gut, and make symptoms less severe, and help those with just a intolerance a bit. But this will not stop the autoimmune response...

	  ARCHIVED Gluten Free Soy SauceEnnis-TX replied to Jessicaaa's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I also use coconut secret coconut Aminos, they have a garlic version that has even less sodium in it 60mg to a tsp, company also make a teriyaki version. I find must sauces to be way to salty and have to water them down. Something about my palate and salt just do not agree.

	  ARCHIVED positive blood test - do endoscopy?Ennis-TX replied to leontin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms Sounds like celiac and your blood test came back positive. Is your doctor willing to diagnose you with celiac in writing with just this? The endoscope with biopsy is the gold standard you need just 2 weeks of gluten for the test and not much. Just a cracker or half a slice of bread a day, perhaps before bed so you can sleep off the huge hits, but the offical...

	  ARCHIVED Vegan Cheesy Garlic KnotsEnnis-TX replied to Ennis-TX's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips Made a cheddar version, I omited the garlic and added a tsp of chives and a bit of rosemary.

	I developed a corn allergy, here is a ironic part. The allergy medicines I was on contained corn starch or corn syrup.....Yeah also watch out for modified food starch unless it says it is either tapioca or potato, Also watch out for baking powder (All but Heinz brain contain corn starch), anything with a syrup form, maltodexrin unless stated as tapioca,...

	It's been brewed from wheat, non distilled, and contains gluten some hydrolyzed some not. As a celiac with a autoimmune disease that attacks your gut, organs, etc. for weeks/months after exposure. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN RISK THAT! There are plenty of other alcohols out there and even beers made from other grains not just wheat. What is the obsession with...

	So I found a really nice app for helping find deficiencies, not only does it help you nail down by what you missing, but also gives you a range of you daily needs, what foods to find them in, and helps inform you of information about said nutrients and how they interact with others and benefit your body. I have been using this for awhile when ever something...

	  ARCHIVED Celiac Meal ReplacementEnnis-TX posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications Well I finally found a protein/shake that helps me gain weight, oddly enough it is formulated for celiac. I got it on a whim being really iffy since it contains soy letchin, but I had not adverse reactions to it. I have found mixing it in a shaker with a cup of coconut yogurt and almond milk and drinking it between meals has stopped the odd constant hunger...

	  ARCHIVED RF and CRP positiveEnnis-TX replied to LookingforAnswers15's topic in Related Issues & Disorders If stressed you will need higher levels of magnesium and B-vitamins, perhaps some more antioxidants, green tea, and vitamin C to help flush your system. As for the foot I would really suggest perhaps a deep tissues massage to break up anything in there and get it to relax, followed by a Epson salt soak. You might have a pulled or overly tense muscle, or a...

	  ARCHIVED Daughter's Test ResultsEnnis-TX replied to RobinT's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms Hmm need a full panel test and a follow up with a endoscope and biopsy to be sure.

	  ARCHIVED Tomato SoupEnnis-TX replied to mbrookes's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications Tried using a bit of red gold tomato paste to thicken it or I love using tomato powder from YumRush for thickening. Also I think pacific foods has a tomato soup.

	  ARCHIVED Ballard's Farm SausageEnnis-TX replied to christineking's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications E-mail the company, I would stay away form them personally, The company has no FAQ, poor site design, seems to be a small company, and part of there products list uses beer flavoring . I would say they do have wheat in the facility, now they may follow good practices and even have a separate area and it could be safe. But it could also not be safe or be a...

	  ARCHIVED Gluten Free Chicken? No Such ThingEnnis-TX replied to buckwheat's topic in Super Sensitive People Miight just be digestive issues with the meat or the higher sodium, or cholesterol messing with you. I get sick and vomit eating meats that are not cooked til they practically melt and even then only in small amounts. Now I do use chicken and longhorn in soups to make a broth sometimes then remove the meat to serve to others with out issues. I have found...

	Almond milk, Cashew milk, Coconut milk, Cheese can be replaced with vegan cheese like daiya, Follow your heart, and lisanatti brands, Yogurt can be replaced with So Delicious coconut yogurt, silk yogurt, almond dream yogurt, and kite hill makes yogurt, and cream cheese spreads, I make my own cheese using different blends I will post some recipes for cheese...

	  ARCHIVED Did anybody else adopt more allergies by going gluten free?Ennis-TX replied to PurpleKhajiit's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease I developed a corn allergy and several new issues with food intolarance. But a whole bunch of issues cleared up getting off them. After a few years of healing several have gone back away and I can eat some of them again as I healed. This happens for some of us, the fact you had major changes negative or otherwise shows gluten was damaging your gut. If you...

	  ARCHIVED Celiac, Overweight, & Weight WatchersEnnis-TX replied to zenjess1980's topic in Related Issues & Disorders Have you been tested for celiac, C & D along with the bloating gas and pain, fatigue etc are all also symptoms of Celiac disease. You can try going gluten-free for a diet if you wish just stay away from the gluten-free processed foods in stores, as these tend to have more unhealthy starches and carbs the the gluten counter parts. Now if you wish to get...

	Sorta have to know your products and companies also . Gotten much easier now with companies sometimes mentioning that they also manufacture wheat products. But on the bright side if you see the gluten-free certified logo you can know it is safe. And certain brands also focus only on gluten-free safe foods. And when in doubt just eat whole foods fresh foods...

	  ARCHIVED Vegan Cheesy Garlic KnotsEnnis-TX replied to Ennis-TX's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips Used vegan cheddar, omitted the garlic, and topped with a a bit of butter flavored coconut oil and rosemary this last batch and made them into biscuit shapes. Made some great cheddar biscuits. Thinking perhaps a bit of onion or chives inside would have helped.

	  ARCHIVED VitaminsEnnis-TX replied to Jherm21's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I take a liquid blend of B-viatimins and some other things from Liquid Health (Take enough pills already) called Energy & Stress and Neurological Support. Vitamin D I manage with by eating foods high in it. Will do some research this evening for you and compile a list and price checks.
