    What level of ppm do other people find they react to? Do you react to "gluten-free" <20ppm foods? What about "certified gluten-free" <10ppm foods? I believe I reacted to some <20ppm chips last week (I ate a lot of them over three days, unfortunately) and it just seems so crazy to me that such a small amount would cause such a huge reaction...

    I like to keep mozzarella sticks, gluten-free pepperoni, and gluten-free crackers on hand for quick snacks or to-go meals. Many pepperonis are gluten-free, but check the label. Cracker's you'll need to get in the gluten-free section of a store. I also like eating an apple with sharp cheddar cheese (Kroger has individually wrapped white sharp cheddar...

    I still haven't figured out what I ate, but I got glutened by something this past weekend. Three or four days later, I am STILL struggling with severe GI pain. I am getting sharp pains, bloating, and cramps no matter what I eat. I am trying to eat healthy, bland, safe foods. Do other people experience this? Is it normal to continue to experience GI pain...

    Or, perhaps I'm just more sensitive to gluten than the 20ppm required for the gluten-free label. (Frito-Lay does say they follow the 20ppm rule for their gluten-free chips, to which Tostitos belongs.) I'm still figuring out my sensitivity level. I got diagnosed with celiac disease by blood test after being on a somewhat diligent gluten-free diet for three...

    Thanks everyone. I've been dipping them in homemade salsa that is for sure gluten free. I do have celiac disease. And typically my acute symptoms from a glutening (severe GI distress) only last a day (other symptoms may last longer), but this has been three days long. Good to know others don't get sick from them. I'll have to look into what else could...

    I actually found EOS hand lotion, which I LOVE, and is gluten-free! I originally bought it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond (random, I know), but I also saw it at Target the other day in the checkout lane. It's non-greasy and absorbs quickly. Definitely recommend.

    Thank you so much everyone!! I'm excited to try some of the suggestions. I found a Kind bar that's soy free (Oats & Honey) which I absolutely LOVE. I need to figure out how to make it on my own, although it's not too expensive. $2.49 for a box of 5 at Walmart.

    I have been glutened the last three days, and the only common item I can think of is the chips I've been eating. They are Tostitos brand, and the bag says gluten-free. I've ready elsewhere that other celiacs claim to have been glutened by Tostitos even thought they're marked gluten-free. Has anyone else experienced this? And any other tortilla chip recommendations...

    Sure thing!

    Anyone know of a good brand of soy- and gluten-free granola/breakfast bars? I'm just now realizing that I think soy (including soy lecithin) is making me sick, so I'm trying to eliminate it from my diet. Unfortunately, the breakfast/granola bars that I always grab to eat when I'm out and about all seem to have soy lecithin in them. Any recommendations...

    Indeed, many lotions have gluten in them, and those that don't are subject to cross-contamination just like food. If you never put your hands in your mouth and always wash them before you cook, then you may be fine with gluten lotions. However, I bite my nails and have to lotion my hands frequently because I have dry skin. Fortunately, my friend found...

    Thank you! I'm actually allergic to avocado, which is in Jason's gluten-free hand lotion. Go figure.

    I am starting to believe that I have soy intolerance in addition to my celiac disease. Other celiacs in these forums have mentioned that celiacs often develop soy intolerance, but I was wondering if anyone had any actual resources verifying this relationship. I would also be interested in any resources for soy intolerance in adults (in general, regardless...

    Yes, you should be able to get it at any drugstore. I've also purchased it at Target and Walmart. Walmart is probably your cheapest bet.

    I am looking for a verified gluten-free hand lotion, not just one that doesn't contain gluten ingredients. I am having issues with cross-contamination according to my recent blood test, so I need to be extra diligent. Right now I am using a labeled gluten-free body lotion for my hands, but it leaves my hands much more slippery than I'd like. I'd love to...

    Did you try CeraVe lotion or CeraVe cream? The cream is thicker and more moisturizing than the lotion (comes in a tub). I can't imagine it not being moisturizing enough for you - it is very nice. It also builds up your skin's barrier. The baby section of Target has some moisturizers that are labeled gluten-free, so you could check there also.

    Thanks! I read online that soy is often contaminated with gluten, even plain soybeans, so I still wouldn't be able to tell if it was the soy or gluten in the soy unless I knew for sure that the soybeans were not contaminated. I guess one way to check would to be to find a gluten-free soy product that is certified gluten-free. Thank you for mentioning...

    Any thoughts on why gluten-free pretzels always make me sick? All of them have soy I've noticed. Could it be that I'm intolerant to the soy, or is it more likely that the soy flour is contaminated with gluten (if that happens)?

    I am eating gluten free oats in Udi's Granola, yes. And I stay away from most soy, but I do eat products with soy lecithin. It's so hard to figure out if I have another food issue when I know my DGP antibodies were high, because I know that means I've been getting gluten as well.
  20. Kias4
    Thank you for your encouragement! I need to hurry up and get my kids tested so we can go mostly gluten-free in the house I think.

    I had the DGP IgA test, so I'm pretty sure I have celiac. The DGP doesn't pick up on gluten-sensitivity, only celiac disease, as much as I've read. I do it has all been from cross-contamination. The symptoms that restarted were all the gluten symptoms I previously had prior to the gluten-free diet. I've read of sensitivity increasing over time. ...
  22. Kias4
    From what I've read, celiac symptoms can change over time, and a person's sensitivity to gluten can also change over time. The gluten-free diet that worked great for me for a couple years no longer works, as I am now getting enough cross-contamination to get a positive celiac blood test. Also, I never used to get nausea, but with my return of symptoms I...

    I've been having issues with the following weird symptoms: hot flashes light-headed or losing my vision when standing up right leg falling asleep Could these be celiac symptoms? Or is something else probably going on? (Possibly three unrelated things going on.) (And no, I'm not pregnant as far as I know, and I'm only 31 years old so I'm not going...

    I tend to say that I have a disease that makes me very sick when I eat gluten. If they want a few more details, I'll say that I have Celiac Disease, and when I eat even an invisible trace of gluten (found in most breads, pastas, crackers, etc.), my body attacks my small intestine and it causes my whole body to react and freak out.
  25. Kias4
    Yes, I got diagnosed last week and I have definitely received some insensitive remarks. People don't realize what an overhaul you have to do on your life, how exhausting and tedious it is, how you have to be paranoid everywhere you go, every time you put something to your lips. They don't realize the emotional toll it takes on you to realize that you have...
