I still find it interesting that they have to add "natural flavoring" to potatoes though! -
Intolerance vs. sensitivity: Intolerance is the correct word. Intolerance refers to an inability. Sensitivity in medicine is often used to refer to the outcome and accuracy of test standards, as in a certain test has a high sensitivity rate. It often is also used for a symptom known as light sensitivity; normally a by product of certain ailments, it is...

Parathesias and bone pain are symptoms of celiac disease. They are also symptoms of other diseases. Once your testing has been completed, whether the results are positive or negative, it would not harm you to go on the gluten free diet, at least temporarily, to see if your symptoms resolve when you take gluten out of your diet. Be aware that gluten resides...

Andrew1234, It appears that are under the belief that the textbook(s) you are looking at are the 100% absolute, complete and accurate definition of all aspects past, present and future of celiac disease and any and all conditions that could possibly be caused by the indigestible 23 amino acid peptide chain of gliadin being abnormally absorbed in the digestive...

Peter H.R.Green, M.D. in Celiac Disease A Hidden Epidemic (Copyright 2006, ISBN-13: 978-0-06-076693-1, appears to agree with the basic statistics that Stephen Gislason states: (page 190) “Offspring and more distant relatives were also at higher risk (15 percent of offspring, 20 percent of second-degree relatives, and 17 percent of first cousins).” Dr. Gr...

Chris, more and more manufacturers are listing whether or not their products contain gluten on their web sites (often either on the nutrition page or on a link that is on the nutrition page). I find it more convenient to email the manufacturers, - it usually takes them two-to-five days to respond, but that way I've got a response that I can go back to when...

I'm in Sebastian. Some of the Publix supermarkets have a fair selection of gluten-free foods, but they are spreadout throughout the store. Wild Oats in Melbourne has a good selection (and a gluten free product list that you can pull down from their web site) - and they just opened a new store in Tampa. P.F. Changs is located at the Mall at Millenia (Conroy...

Since it's summer now, - if he's out of school, and you can handle it, how about inviting him to stay with you for a week or two. Keep him on a gluten free diet while he's with you, and see if his symptoms start to subside. If they do, explain the diet to him before he leaves, then explain it to his parents when he goes home in a better condition. If his...

Regarding gluten in Kahlua, I found out from my local liquor store, - they checked with the manufacturer. The store manager has a long history of Celiac disease, so she and her staff go out of their way to educate and guide their customers with any form of gluten intolerance. Before finding out that Kahlua had gluten in it, I purchased a bottle of Kahlua...

Black Russians contain either Kahlua or some type of coffee flavored liqueur. Kahlua has gluten in it, as do most liqueurs. As for the Cosmopolitan, it would depend on the brands of triple sec, cranberry juice and lime juice as to whether or not it was gluten free. The manager of my local (state run) liquor store was diagnosed with Celiac over 20 years...

Kahlua has gluten in it. Vodka, unless it's a true potato vodka (such as Glacier brand), has gluten in it. -

Regarding which Kraft cheese, I am extremely reactive to gluten and had problems with both Kraft Parmesan and Kraft American cheese. I contacted Kraft via email and received the standard response that if there was gluten in the cheese, it would be identified in the ingredients label. I removed the cheese from my diet (no other changes in the diet) and the... -

Hopefully this will help. (And hopefully it will come out okay, as I wrote this in another program!) * * * * * * * Gluten free/safe: fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, meat, fish, fresh nuts (be careful with shelled, packaged nuts, or nuts that are flavored or coated, as many contain gluten). Currently gluten-free/safe (check with manufacturers periodically... -
Yes, DH on toes, - it's nasty. Been dealing with it for years. Comes from eating gluten, not walking on it. The reaction always starts in the digestive tract.
