    Lori my husband is just like you, celiac disease and Diviticulosis. My 1st time in the health food store to buy gluten-free foods, I nearly had a break down. my husband was with me and we were looking at crackers. I had found some gluten-free that I thought he would like but then he told me they contained seeds!!! I firmly told him I could only handle...

    I was tested by a breath test this fall and Dx with bacterial overgrowth of the small intestines. I have had Gi problems myself even though it is my husb and son dx with celiac disease. I have always been told that I have IBS even though I do not have many of the symptoms. the Dr decided to run this test, which came back postive.Also tested me for Celiac...

    I just called the Archway company to ask since my husb loves these cookies. The man in customer service knew imediately what I was talking about. It was nice that I didnt have to explain the whole celiac disease thing. Well he said that the coconut macaroons USED to be gluten-free, but they now contain wheat as the last ingrediant. he did say it was just...

    Ok...so is this something I need a prescription for? or do I buy it over the counter? Which brands are gluten-free? What doesage do you take and for how long?

    I am trying to get my hands on the ADA's 6th edition of the manual of Clinical Dietetics .Particularly their revised Gluten Free Guidelines. I believe this came out in 2000, not sure if there is anything more recent. I don't want the whole manual, just the gluten free guidelines and their website sells the entire manual for something like $100. Anyone...

    My husb will be a very happy man if this info is correct. You say that goldschlager is gluten-free? And disaronno also? He loves both of these.

    My husb has been dx with H Pylori twice. once within the last year and once many years ago. He was Dx with a breath test. What is Probiotics?? I have never heard of this before. My husb has been on and off of antibiodics ALOT recently. he is currently on his 4th run of cypro for his reoccuring prospate pain. This time they have him in it for 30 days. ...

    I agree with you, I think grocery shopping is very stressful. I make my husband come along too,as I need all the help I can get. And it takes soooo long to get thru the store. My husband has to remember to bring his reading glasses with him as we spend the whole time reading labels. I am a busy working mom, my husb and I work different shifts, so I have...

    It is a great day when I can add mainstream products to my gluten-free list! Thanks!

    If you wouldnt mind explaining,,,,i would like to know what to expect. i dont know if the dr will even recommend the biopsy, but I think I would feel better with him having it. I just don't want to tramatize him at the same time. thanks to everyone for your advise....you have provided me with much useful info. i have already requested a copy of my sons...

    Thanks for the info. I am trying to comprehend so much in a short time, I am finding it overwhelming! We are trying make educated decisions for both my husb and my son. That is why I have so many questions. I have to fully understand it before I can accept it and for me that means ruling out the other options. I have already requested a copy of my sons...

    I am not sure what blood tests my husb had in dec. Only that the Dr called and said he had celiac disease. Now he has had a normal biopsy. He was tested only because his mother has it and since he was at the Gi for another issue, the Gi said lets rule it out. Can I guess now that he does carry the gene only?
  15. kathy1
    But the biopsy will show if there is any damage correct? If the biopsy comes back normal, then does that mean no damage and no signs of active celiac disease? I understand that I should request a biopsy on my son. If it shows damage then he goes on a gluten-free diet. What is it shows "normal". can he not go gluten-free? sorry if I am repeating myself...

    My husb was dx in dec via a blood test.He has never had any symptoms of celiac disease. He had a biopsy last week and the Dr called today stating that the biopsy came back normal. the Dr then said that a gluten-free free diet was not necessary.The Dr stated that some people can carry the gene but never get the disease. Any advise???

    thats great news! My MIL has celiac disease and states that the red and blue dyes, along with caramel coloring and MSG all contain gluten. Then I come here and find out that they don't. Then my husb and i get court marshalled when she discovers us eating something she thinks we shouldnt. I then am left to try and convince her that I am correct.!! It makes...

    My son was tested because my husb was just DX in dec. My mother in law has it also. So i decided it was best to have my son tested. Is a bioposy rough in a child?
  19. kathy1
    Do we assume that everything we buy in the us is manufactered here? What about food items made out of the us, does the FDA code still apply?How do you know where the food is coming from? Can I safely assume that anything I buy in the US with caramel coloring is fine?

    This would be interesting to find out. anyone find the thread mentioned above?

    my son was recently dx via blood test. (I dont know what kind). The pediatrician said that although he tested postive,since he has no symptoms, he does not need to go on the gluten-free diet.His said that it so hard to get kids to go along with the diet, it would be ok to skip it since he has no symptoms. I have scheduled a consultation with a ped GI in...

    I would be very interested to find out more about Food colorings as well. I have heard that some colorings contain gluten,red and blue particularly, but I have not been successful in my research to support this theory. I have heard others shoot down the caramel coloring theory, Things like coke and pepsi are gluten-free and I believe they have caramel coloring...

    This is so funny because just last week a coworker was telling me about a new cookie recipe she tried. She is diabetic. While she was stating the ingrediants, I immediately thought these were gluten free. I will have to try them in my husband.
  24. kathy1
    Thanks, There is an Aldi's near where I work. I never go there though. I think I will have to check them out.
  25. kathy1
    Can you tell us what the names of the gluten free products are that you bought?
