Thank you! I just made sure I can get email notifications, so if anyone has an questions about disc replacement, feel free too pm me!

Thank you. And now, because of this thread, I am having the celiac conversation with folks over at my spinal forum! I am going to see if I can figure out how to get the site to email me if someone needs me. I'm not on here but want to be avaible in case someone needs me.

I haven't been on here in years, and I know this topic is very old, but I just wanted to bump it and mention the possibility of going overseas to get the discs fixed. I am doing that this weekend. I will be the first American to have six levels replaced in my spine all at once. Don't suffer needlessly. My theory is that the disc problems happened...

Yet another port I can find NOTHING about. Anyone ever been here? Or know anything even in general about Nicaragua? Thanks!

Thanks to Larry, I now have ports 2 and three taken care of! Now we come to more difficult territory. Guatemala. I recall once having Guatemalan food, but that was before, when I didn't know there were things I couldn't eat. I would love any and all info on this particular city that anyone has, or even on Guatemalan food in general, since I don't...

That is so great to know, Larry, thank you! I will take your advice, and happily. I am very glad to know I will get a more authentic experience - I was worried I would be stuck with only high end resort type places - which, while I love such food, is hardly the *real* Mexico. You just took care of two ports for me! Now for the other eight.

Hi everyone! I am looking into going on an 18 day cruise from San Francisco through the Panama Canal to Ft. Lauderdale. I will be asking intermitently about ports of call. I am trying to ascertain ahead of time if it will be worth it for me to go. Luckily I found a place in Cabo San Lucas (Sunset da Mona Lisa) that everyone seems to recommend, and...

McCann's is NOT gluten free! The following from their website: Open Original Shared Link Are McCann's Oat products gluten free? All McCann

Just in case anyone searches this in the future, it is a generic drug, so you need to contact the specific mfr. for exact info. As of 9/24/07, Watson Pharma, who makes Kaiser's Nort., says they are not a gluten-free Pharma Co, which mean they do not certify the gluten-free status of their drugs. The most likely source for gluten is, however, starch...

The pharmacist I spoke to says it's not. My doc says she spoke to a pharmacist who says it is, and an old post from 2005 says it's not. Anyone know for sure?

Hi There Rachel! I have to say this is really funny that the first post I read & respond to is yours, since you just told me to come here. Anyway... I don't know about the corn, but are you hypo or hyper thyroid? My doc to me I was hypo a few years back, and, being that we are both anti medication unless all else fails, he suggested I start...

At the Stanford Celaic Conference yesterday I spoke with Dr. Peter (I think) Green. He is one of the MAJOR experts on Celiac. He told me that a Celiac who has been on a Gluten Free diet for a while may very well test negative for Celiac. Also, when I went through the gammut of allergy tests a few months ago, I was very perplexed to find out I tested...

As a matter of fact - thanks to the Celiac Conferece yesterday, I do! Oats do not, of themselves, contain gluten. But because of the ways in which they are grown, they are often contaminated with wheat. There are two different mfrs. in the US that carry gluten-free oats. I don't know their names off the top of my head, but if you do a search...

My two cents: No, the mother was NOT being responsible. I have been in a facility, personally, that says they use dedicated equipment for wheat & corn. All the equipment is wood, which, as we know, retains gluten. When I was witnessing the milling process, wheat flour was EVERYWHERE!!!!! The mills were one foot apart. I had a hard time even...
