    I am casein intolerant does that mean I am going to have a problem with soy products as well?

    Last summer I was diagnosed with RA - RA factor came back positive and inflammation levels slightly high. The usual RA symptoms - pain, stiffness in the joints, extreme fatigue, can't get out of bed. So, I have had 2 blood tests since then and the levels have come down, but I still felt crappy in general. Along with some minor intestinal problems - extremely...

    I did the blood test, it was negative. I did the stool test, it was positive for gluten sensitivity and the Celiac gene. I faxed a copy of the results to my doctor to put in my files. He said if getting off gluten makes me feel better, then we have our answer. The blood test doesn't show if one is gluten sensitve. It looks for acute Celiac disease, therefore...

    My doctor says that tests aren't always accurate. He said that if I feel better on a gluten-free than there's my answer.

    I went to Outback Steakhouse in IL and I had no problem. They did accidentally serve me the salad with croutons but I sent it back and they had no problem with that. Also, when I ordered I specifically asked the waitress to ask the cook to SCRAPE the grill before cooking my meat. I also ordered teh chicken plain. They gave me BBQ sauce on the side (I...

    I went to Boston Market in the Chicago area. Although they could not give me a gluten-free menu or had a clue of where to begin, they were very helpful. I asked them to give me the ingredients they use for the rotissierie chicken and they went and brought the bag and read the ingredients to me. Regular Rotissierie Chicken is gluten-free. All the veggies...

    I ate it 3 days in a row with my chicken and that is the only thing I had not had control over those three days. In other words, everything else I was eating those days was what I made except for the rice cakes and I know Lundberg rice cakes are fine. My stomach hurt within 20 minutes of eating. Now when I made my own salsa, I had no reaction.

    Go to Whole foods and get the Organic Chicken Broth. Some vinegars can be contaminated. If you go to Whole Foods website, you can print a list of gluten-free foods. Also, they label their shelves if it is gluten-free. Read the labels carefully, and look for the allergy alert. She should stay away from dairy for now.

    I used my Flexspend to cover it, since I ordered the test myself.

    Azteca corn tortillas are gluten-free. The two companies I called stated that they use different machinery for the corn and flour tortillas and with that information, I believe any other brand you buy is that way. Instant rice will work and risotto. Buy lots of fruits and veggies, applesauce those are safe foods and travel pretty well. Juice is another...

    I eat Lundberg's hot rice cereal. Still trying to figure out how to get the consistency to where I like it.

    Do the stool test from Entrolab. You can order it yourself online. Chances are your daughter has it since it is genetically passed. Have you been tested?
  17. teankerbell
    My blood test came back negative but the stool test from Entrolab came back positive for gluten sensitivity, postive for the Celiac gene and positive for Casein sensitivity. I am going with that - I don't care what the doctor says. The diet is helping (only 10 days into but better.) I am not doing the biopsy. I have my answer.

    I was glutened or caseined by their salsa which stated it was gluten-free. There was CC. So right now my trust in them is about ZERO!

    Trader Joe's and Whole Foods website has a list of gluten-free foods. Still read the labels, ingredients can change.

    I have been on a gluten-free diet for about a week and it has been really hard. Finding out that even though I think I am doing the right things, I am still ingesting Gluten via Cross-Contamination (CC). I spent 3 days in row eating something with Amy's Salsa and even though it says it is gluten-free and there is NO allergen warning, I was apparently glutening...

    My celiac blood panel came back normal but my stool test said I have a problem with gluten and I tested positive for the Celiac gene (see stats in my signature). Earlier this year I was diagnosed with RA, but then after a couple more blood tests the rheumatologist wasn't really sure if it is RA. Too early to tell she thought and at least I have some...

    Last week I noticed the discrepency between their allergy list and ingredients list. The allergy list said it the fries were gluten free, the ingredients had wheat and milk listed. I was NOT happy when I saw that - it is confusing, then it came out in the news! I guess enough of us complained because before the news broke it was corrected on their website...

    There is also Barbara's Corn Flakes and Envirokids - kind of like Captain Crunch. You can find Envirokids at mainstream grocery stores.

    I emailed El Milagro - based out of Chicago -- and here is their response: El Milagro products Corn and Flour are run in different machinary all the time, in order to avoid cross contamination. Our corn tortillas are gluten free. As an FYI: In addition to manufacturing tortillas, they also have restaurants in the Chicagoland area, Austin...

    I won't eat anything by Quaker Oats. I have been glutened by them.
