    I personally use essential oils and would highly recommend a high quality digestive blend to help. It would be easy to use and really affordable! I can give you more info if you'd like it!

    Hi, I would very highly recommend taking a good probiotic. It will help the good bacteria in your gut grow. I take Florajen 3- it is supposed to be on of the good ones. Jennifer

    It is very possible that a celiac could be deficient in any vitamin or mineral. If a celiac has just been diagnosed or isn't following the diet, they can have malabsorption. Magnesium can come in many different salt forms. It looks like magnesium stearate isn't used as a supplement. You may find magnesium oxide or a different kind. Yes, magnesium will...

    I would highly recommend taking Florajen. It states right on the bottle that it is gluten free. Probiotics work great to get the normal gut bacteria working properly. It has a very high cell count and the bacteria are supposed to be better ones than those found in other probiotics. It needs to stay refridgerated but if you are gone, the capsules can stay...

    I would highly doubt that you could be glutened a medication that is not taken orally. As a pharmacy student, I know that they have some chance (not very much) of getting into the blood stream, but they wouldn't have any way to get into the GI tract. If these medicines do have gluten, could you possilby have touched the medicine then touched something that...

    I also do this often with pancakes, waffles and bread. I would recommend separating them with was paper otherwise they tend to freeze into one big chunk. Jennifer

    I have recently done a food allergy test and found that I am sensitive to brewer's yeast. I know that it is in beer and wines but was also told to look for it in condiments. The only problem is, what do I look for? I have never seen "brewers yeast" listed as an ingredient so I am assuming it is hidden under another name. Does anyone have any tips or ideas...

    I had the same issue- was looking for gluten-free and DF birth control. I don't think there are any pills out there that fit that criteria. I am also using the patch and it has worked well so far!

    Hi, I met with my GI doctor last week. I was diagnosed in February and have been on the gluten-free diet since then. I haven't felt any differently since then. Last weekend I ate something that had wheat in it (didn't know til after i ate it) and didn't get any symptoms afterwards. So I visited my doctor to follow up and make sure I am doing things...

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows if the Quaker mini rice cakes in the cheddar flavor are gluten free- I didn't really see any problem ingredients but I just want to make sure. Thanks! Jennifer

    Hi, I have been on the gluten-free diet since Feb 1st. I have been trying to make sure my food and all of my beauty products don't have gluten in them but I don't really feel any different, I feel the same as I did before the diet. Does it take this long for some of you to adjust? I can't think of what I would accidentally be eating. Any help would...

    Hello, Are Tyson's Chicken Breast Strips gluten-free? They have chicken broth in them and I am not sure if that is considered gluten-free or not. Thanks, Jennifer

    Hi, I have noticed when i baked waffles, muffins and cake that everytime, the batter seems really dry and thick. I am not leaving out any ingredients and am not using the same brand. Does anyone else have this problem? I tried adding applesauce and that seemed to help. Any suggestions? Jennifer

    Hi, I have been recently diagnosed and have been on a gluten-free diet for only 4 days. Almost always after I eat I feel dizzy and lightheaded. Is this normal? Or does it mean I have eaten some gluten? Jennifer
