I have been on a gluten-free diet for 6-7 weeks as a trial basis. I had a very low positive TtG test and negative biopsy. I tried the diet just to see what my progress would be. My results have been so-so. How long after the diet do you wait to re-introduce gluten to see if you have symptoms?

At my local supermarket-Shaw's-I was suprised to find quite a few gluten free products!! I found Gillian's Foods wheat free,gluten free, dairy free bread crumbs. Not sure how they will taste but I will give it a try!! I also found gluten free bread, a gluten free tapioca bread, gluten free cookies, gluten free english muffins and other products. I was...

Thanks for the great advice! I have alot of recipes to try now!! Sweet and Sour meatloaf? Sounds yummy!!

I found a crock pot recipe I want to try but what do I use for the bread crumbs?

Thank you

Crest makes the Glide dental floss. I called them today and they told me that their toothpaste and Glide dental Floss is ok. They did day that they have a new product called Pro Health Mouth Wash that may contain traces of Gluten, so they advised me to stay away from it.

On one of the lists I got from this site, it says Colombo yogurt is ok(with no cookies or granola). I noticed it has modified corn starch. That's ok right? We got shredded Kraft cheese in bag. It has Maltodextrin.That is ok in the USA,correct? Why are most shredded cheeses in a bag not ok? Also, coffeemate artificial flavored creamer was on the...

What do most of you do for breakfast? I used to eat bagels or cereal What would be quick/easy and filling? I had scrambled eggs and fruit this am. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. You guys have been great!!

I have been trying to search the boards before asking. I was wondering if anyone knows if these products are ok: Wakmart brand of bluemint mouth rinse Suave 24 hour deoderent Cover girl brow and eye brow line Revlon color stay foundation maybeline coverstick concealer and maybeline full n soft mascara waterproof Rimmel products like say...

Thank you! I know I have to be careful of not cross-contaminating. I can keep the same foods in the same area as long as my gluten free products are sealed. Right? I can still prepare gluten containing products for my kids(who are not allergic). I mean, I can prapare the food as long as it's not ingested. I can still touch the food without having a reaction...

Hello, I am so glad I found this board!! I am 35 years old and was diagnosed this summer with SLE. I have had a rough time but I am ever so slowly improving. I questioned having celiac a few years back. I had the tTg test this june and it was positive. Anything higher than 8 was considered positive and I was 19. My endoscopic biopsy was negative...

I have had a positive tTg but negative endo biopsy. I have the HLA DRB1 (DR4) gene. I have many of the symptoms and a "dermatitis" type rash on my arms,legs and buttocks. I would like to see if I get relief from the celiac diet. I am just overwhelmed and not sure how to get started. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I've only been told it "looks" like dermatitis. I am wondering if it needs to be biopsied? What tests should I have done other than tTG? I am on an immunosuppresant and 10 mg of prednisone daily. Will that affect my results?

Hello, I was tested in June for tTg antibodies and was positive. According to the labs, anything higher then 8 was positive, I was 19. I had a upper endo biopsy and it was negative. I had a rough summer. I was diagnosed with SLE(Lupus). I had a positive ANA, high sed rate (106), positive double stranded DNA, low complement levels. Saw a rheumatologist...
