    Do you have the bread maker with the gluten-free option? Oster has one and the bread is amazing! We have used Bob’s Red Mill and Glutino Gluten Free Pantry mix with wonderful results. Also you should not use the same machine to make Gluten-free bread and regular bread as the risk of contamination is too great.

    This why I said no to Advil. My daughter is Celiac and was taking Advil for pain when I stumbled across this and she switched to Tylenol. Back to Dosage and Directions I am allergic to gluten. Is it all right for me to take Advil® products? Gluten is not added to any Advil® product during the manufacturing process. However, ...

    Hi Ali, Welcome to the forum. No on the Advil. Your friend and Doctor are correct that it needs to run its course. Mostly what helps my 24yr old Celiac daughter is her heating pad and lots of fluids. Water or tea and throw in a Gatorade or something similar. You will be basically flushing it out of your system. If you can get up and move around maybe...

    My Celiac daughter has been taking Zyrtec for a few years but gets it behind the counter from the pharmacist. The over the counter allergy medicine does not work for her. Not sure if you use an air purifier but that seems to make a difference for her. Using a nasal spray daily should help with your congestion. We both use Advair twice a day for our allergies...

    Hi, You need to have gluten in your system for the blood test to be accurate. If you eliminate gluten from your diet than the test will not be accurate. Getting a biopsy from your GI doctor will help confirm the diagnosis. Just eat a small amount everyday prior to testing. Try and keep a food journal so that you can pin point what, when and how your...

    Lots and lots of fluids to flush out the Gluten. Include a Gatorade or something similar. My Celiac daughter takes 1/2 of an Imodium AD multi symptom when she feels the grumbling coming on. A whole pill will wreck havoc on her stomach. Usually a half is enough to stop the diarrhea. Then keep hydrating for the next few days and it could a week or longer...

    Hi Mickayla, Well this forum is a wonderful site to help you through your journey. My daughter was diagnosed four years ago just days before her 20th birthday. She was a junior in college so it was a struggle with two other roommates. Everyone has different symptoms so be aware of what triggers yours. She also tends to eat at a lot at the same places...

    Hi My daughter is also 24 but was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 4 years ago. You need to give yourself a break. Some days will be better than others and you will feel so frustrated because you just want to feel normal. But this is the new an improved you. Just a suggestion that you might consider getting allergy tested. My daughter was still...

    Hi, Try having her drink a glass of warm water. As warm as she can tolerate at least once a day. It’s an old trick that nurses use when patients have problems using the restroom. Best of luck

    Anything using Tito’s vodka. Most places carry it so it’s my daughters go to drink. Also Angry Orchard cider is a good choice. She often brings her own when it’s applicable. Better safe than sick.

    Advil is not Gluten Free because it is subject to cross contamination. According to the company, "Advil Liqui-Gels and Advil Migraine contain a wheatderivative, and are not gluten-free." It's not clear whether regular Advil and/or AdvilFilm-Coated products are produced in the same facility, which would subject them to gluten cross-contamination.Aug...

    Hi, My 24 year old was diagnosed with Celiac Disease just about 4 years ago. She began having a hard time swallowing food and experiencing lots of acid so she had an Endoscopy last year and was positive for EoE. She had another allergy test done just after and found out she is also allergic to yeast. So we add that to her list of things she can’t e...

    My daughter has Celiac Disease and received a Sunbeam bread machine with the Gluten Free feature. She has used it many times over the past couple of years. The bread smells wonderful and it tastes amazing. No complaints here! ?

    Hey CoolSam, Your symptoms sound very familiar. My daughter gained the freshman 15 in college and basically could eat non stop. Being a soccer player she had a healthy appetite. Then one day she got food poisoning and that started a downhill spiral of health issues. Chronic diarrhea and brain fog. Her anxiety was off the charts. Stomache pain that would...

    Hi, My daughter has no issues with Angry Orchard and she is a very sensitive Celiac. Smith Forge Hard Cider comes in cans and is also very good. She stays away from all the Gluten Free beer just because she is not 100% confident that is safe. Tito's vodka is also safe for Celiacs. I have seen and tasted it at the Gluten Free Expos. Welcome to the...

    Hello Celina, You mentioned that you are living at home because it is more convenient. I admire that you are going to nursing school but maybe you might want to consider moving out so you can better control what you are eating. Being in school is stressful, worring over every meal is even more stressful. Anxiety alone is tough on your body and can increase...

    Hi, Well first see how they feel about Celiac Disease. You will need to trust your gut on this one. How many patients has he or she diagnosed via biopsy. Are they still treating them. What is their experiences with their Celiac patients. Have they attended any seminars or worked any doctors who treat other Celiacs? My daughter has had two endoscopic...

    Hi Weekendwarrior, Ahhh now that you know you have Celiac Disease you can bet that your wife and kids will be happy to have their Dad feeling better. It will be a struggle at first but knowing is the first step. Everyone has given great advice especially bringing your own food whenever you can. It takes the worry out of wondering if you will get sick...

    My daughter is Celiac and super sensitive to most makeup but she uses No 7 which you can find at most Targets. It's kinda pricey but she doesn't breakout. She is also allergic yeast & sesame seeds so we are extremely careful to read the ingredients. When her face, neck and chest start to break out we know she was exposed to something. It's the first...

    Hi Mrsfunkway, I might suggest getting tested for EOE. It's a biopsy done by your GI doctor. If you test positive then it basically involves eliminating 6 major allergies, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts/tree nuts and seafood (fish/shellfish) from your diet. My daughter has Celiac Disease and is allergic to wheat, yeast, shrimp and sesame seeds. Her...

    Honestly if it was me I wouldn't go for dinner as it's not worth the anxiety or drama that your family seems to inspire. Instead opt for coming for desert and bringing your own special GlutenFree dish. My ex-husband brought over store bought cookies in a can and our Celiac daughter said, 'you know I can't eat those' and he responded yeah but I brought...

    Hi Llkj, You don't mention anything about seeing a Dr or getting tested for Celiac Disease. Going gluten-free is not a diet. For those with celiac disease it is a means of survival. Without a proper diagnosis you will need to start eating gluten again before you can be tested to get accurate results. For some eating 3-4 small meals throughout the day...

    Hi Bekka, Yes other allergies to food that you are not aware of need to be ruled out. My daughter is Celiac and is allergic to wheat, shrimp, yeast and seaseme seeds. All of these came apparent when she was still sick after going gluten-free. A simple blood test from your GI doctor should help. Once she eliminated these from her diet her overall health...

    Hi Seeking 2012 & GFinDC, Interested in the allergies & acid & heartburn. My 23yr old daughter who was diagnosed with celiac disease 3 years ago has been struggling with severe acid and seasonal allergies. She had an endoscopy done in June and was diagnosed with EoE. Has anyone else dealt with this? She is also allergic to wheat, yeast, shrimp...
