    Note to all: I don't know what state in US you are in, keep in mind that not all doctors take Medicaid patients. Just to be safe, call the doctor to see if he/she accepts Medicaid. More and more doctors are turning away Medicaid (here in NJ). Here in NJ, all the doctors which take Medicaid are in the inner cities and perhaps only a handful...

    My husband got these a lot before he went gluten free

    You're "spilling" biblrubin....hate to ask, but is your poop color very light? Yes a blockage does cause bilirubin to "spill" into urine. Bilirubin is also meansured by blood tests....what did they show? Always ask for a copy of your blood test results in case you have to change doctors, etc. When I was ill w/gallbaldder, towards the end,...

    Not unusual to have other sensitivities either pre-diagnosis or post-diagnosis. So far for my husband the other sensitivities aren't going away and it's been almost 5 years now.

    Violet Blue: we can concur: my husband has same type of dietary problems with regard to vegetables (and tomato sauce) and spices. I think original poster means the word "mild" to mean "low amount of symptoms" as compared to what celiacs like you and my husband go through. No such thing as "a little gluten won't hurt you" and our jury is still...

    April I am going to go out on limb here and say "gallbladder." I had gallbladder issue and tests were fine. My gallbladder became diseased (almost like appendix). I had pain at night right front, side and back; then it progressed to nausea and gas and diarrhea. Then no appetitte. No gastro I went to and I went to 3 of them, knew what to...

    Ok, so we're going to inlaws to eat, they appear to understand celiac disease & diet, etc. We enter home, go into kitchen and SIL is peeling potatoes at kitchen table WHILE eating (gluten) Italian bread in handfuls. I cringe and say to her "The bread crumbs are going to get into the potato pot!" She retorts: "The crumbs will go down the...

    Wow...for the past few years I've been tempted to purchase one of these beds. As to fungicide, if I am not mistaken isn't bedding sold in Calif. treated with an "anti-fire" chemical and many bedding manufacturers use this chemical for the sole purpose of being able to sell their products in Calif.? I had a pillow once that smelled and the manufacturer...

    This appears to be a new product - saw it in supermarket yesterday Progresso Chicken (broth/stock) Progresso Beff (broth/stock) In a blue container (not in a can) and it states on side that it's gluten free Both items are seasoned (onion, pepper, etc.)

    She could be using a non O'Loreal professional product on her...I don't know.

    Please, please try to stop smoking....this has been my past year: These relatives are very close to me....I would see them at least once a month up until recently. My Aunt, who is only 68 had lung cancer 12 years ago from smoking. Had to have lung removed (she was 56 years old then). She did not do chemo nor radiation but survived nonetheless...

    Beth My husband has : Depression Restless Leg (Body) syndrome - he says the same thing - it's in his whole body Bad reaction to all anti-depressants - increases his body and leg twitchings He takes sublingual B12 and gets monthly B12 shots. Sublingual only once a week. He still has neuopathy and body "restless leg syndrome"

    This is just my opinion ..but Church clothing: slacks/pants OK but nothing tight or revealing or low cut. Informal but not casual like a T-shirt. Fancy shirt ok, but again not tight, revealing or low cut as you have to respect the people who are members and the Priest and their faith. (Some churches do not allow women wearing slacks/pants in sanctuary...

    Deb: This woman sounds like she's on a "passive/aggressive" power play with you. Are you sure she's not sabatoging you deliberately? -- Deb

    Judy: My Sister in law, whom I believe has Celiac but won't get tested, etc. and won't go gluten-free , reacts to L'Oreal hair coloring products (non professional series that you can buy in store) but does not react (itching and such) to the hair coloring products her professional hair dresser uses.....I don't know what her professional uses, however...

    A few years ago I had used a receipe such as this one and the problem I had was that the finished cornbread fell into crumbles.......

    The frustrating and sad part of this "gluten free wheat starch" issue is that 10 years from now "they" could or may come to the conclusion that they were wrong and it does contain gluten. And we were the ginny pigs.

    I'd like to see a doctor have a comprehensive list of what to check for AFTER the celiac diagnsosis...like make sure the patient is checked for osteoporosis (esp. if patient has gone years undiagnosed or misdiagnosed) and check into other conditions/syndromes which occur in a celiac (small intestine ulcers, vitamin deficiencies, anemia, etc.). Like a...

    I have an issue with AVON in that I tested them and called their 800 # which I might add is answered somewhere overseas....anyway, I asked if the Avon Oat Body lotion is gluten-free and they answered "Yes." This was about a year ago. AVON USED to have a gluten-free product list, but no longer...you have to call on each and every product.

    Dear Brizzo Please reconsider and don't leave the forum. Unfortunately, the censorship is an unspoken, unposted rule. Please reconsider because this forum does provide an abundance of information despite this "problem." We need intelligent, strong thinkers like yourself ....send me PM then and let's talk about it. D.

    Where would I get the Gifts of Nature brand?

    Dear Andrea I am writing to your "moderator cap": please then show that Bible study/versing/quoting and threads about celiac and communion are against the official rules. I feel it's unfair to allow the topic (i.e., no written prohibition on it) and then reprimand (OUCH!) the posters after they post "biblical". I've seen so many of these communion...
