    Not sure if this counts --- I didn't used to eat potato chips, but since starting the gluten-free diet in February, I have had probably just as many or more than I had in my entire life prior to the diet. I still liked them before, but I had so many other options and with so much cut out...avoiding lots of sugar and acid in addition to gluten...there just...

    You can't change your name on the board......rather, you would need to register again, which would mean that on your new login, you wouldn't have access to the PMs, address book, personal information, etc. without logging into the other....not sure if what i'm saying makes sense...basically, you need to just register again with a new name, but u can't convert...

    You should definitely replace TEFLON pots and pans. Just plain old steel is the best cause you can really scrub it and it usually doesn't retain the gluten. Teflon is hard to get completely clean and while it's okay to use for a dedicated pot or pan, you definitely should avoid it for shared pots/pans. Stick with steel

    I agree...I have visited a couple other celiac forums and none even comes close in my eyes. This one has enough people to provide a steady stream of conversation, but seems small enough for me to feel like I know people. Thank you, Scott, for creating and maintaining this for us. I, too, found this forum to be a lifesaver when I was diagnosed and it...

    Hi, You have a posts number on the left. This number includes all questions you have asked (posts started) or posts you have answered. You are called a "newbie" when you originally come to the board. Once you reach 10 posts, you are a member and 30 posts makes you an advanced member. I just saw that you're at 11 posts, which makes you a member. There...

    I wouldn't eat it if I were you. Good chance of getting glutened.

    I used to throw up every night after dinner when I was in first grade. It would build up: I would eat, start to feel sick, throw up, then be fine. It happened nearly every night. I started getting 12-24 hour bouts with abdominal pains, cramping, and vomiting in fifth grade. I got them consistently throughout fifth and seventh grades, which is when I...

    I knew that all V-8 Splash products were gluten-free.....but I didn't know the status of any others.

    Num1HabsFan And Lisa....if you're eating gluten once a month, then the gluten-free diet is doing very little good for your body, anyway. Eating just the tiniest bit of gluten completely offsets the progress you've made during that month. The only positive thing is that there is less gluten entering your system, but it will still cause the same long-term...

    I bet it could be contaminated.....I've heard complaints about sickness after cooking gluten-free food using non-gluten-free charcoal or something.....so if something that isn't gluten-free was on the grill before and it wasn't really well cleaned, sure it could happen.

    I don't know...I think that with Balance you're supposed to find gluten on the label, so I was going to suggest you just read.......but that labelling bill has a few more years and even so, it won't force companies to list all gluten (will require wheat, etc., but not, for example, malt). I'd call the company or just avoid them for a little while. Anything...

    While you're still eating gluten, your symptoms are generally less severe than after you've been on the diet a few months and then get sick again. This is because when your body constantly deals with gluten, it gets....used to it. After your body has been flushed of it, it reacts more violently to the gluten since the protein has once again become a rather...

    Hi, This is celiac3270's mother posting...I have been on WW for many years. Congratulations on your weight loss! You may want to consider the Core Plan where you eat vegetables, eggs, lean meats (you probably know the plan) and you can eat as much as you want (until satisfied) and it's fresh and natural. If you are looking for WW frozen foods replacements...

    I know...I hate that...I already know that I'm thin without being told......I'm making progress, though. I'm almost 14 and I used to be 5' and 65-70 lbs. Now, 8 months later, I've gained 20 pounds, grown 2 inches, and increased 1 1/2 shoe sizes .....I have a little ways to go, but at 85 pounds, I don't look too different anymore. I remember hating when...

    If it's from Kraft, then it's company policy to list gluten on the label. Modified food starch doesn't mean that it's wheat flour, and I find that it often is not. If it's Kraft, then the gluten must be labelled and therefore, if you don't see "wheat" or "rye" or "barley" or "malt", etc. on the label, it's fine. Of course, you can contact the company about...

    Stress can cause a reaction with celiac -- I was told that getting stressed is really bad in terms of symptoms. Therefore, I was told to try to stay calm and not get stressed in order to eliminate symptoms faster. Additionally, stress often triggers celiac in the first place. If you have the gene and have tremendous stress, it's likely to flare up into...

    When we say gluten here, we are always referring to gluten in wheat, rye, barley, etc. However, gluten actually encompasses the proteins in many more ingredients, such as corn. Simply, Deb is right: corn gluten is safe.
  19. celiac3270
    Yea....that was my concern.........it isn't, I guess

    That sounds so familiar. My brother, who is now nine (ten in January) is about 55 pounds.....almost 10 and 55 lbs....he might've weighed about the same when he was 6-8. Anyway, he, too, has no other symptoms of celiac, but has the gene.... I concur with just about everything you just said . For me, though, the stress isn't really over...

    Definitely....I also got this list from Jessica's support group and it has been really helpful! I didn't realize we had so many options....thanks for posting here, too.
  22. celiac3270
    Sure .......I just went back to read your post again and I realized that I hadn't really noticed the first time what you said about cleaning out the system.....that's the same sort of impression I get about my system 8 1/2 months into the diet. I still get sick and, as a matter of fact, I'm sick right now. I went into school to take a test (I'm out often...

    I'm the only celiac in my family and I'm the only one who eats consistently gluten-free. My mom will sometimes have a homemade gluten-free chocolate chip cookie, or something, but doesn't eat completely gluten-free. My brother eats whatever he wants, as does my father. So, I'm the only one who eats gluten-free, though my mother is going to try going gluten...

    Though it is debatable as to whether or not 0 ppm is practical, I don't think anyone can argue that it is "scientifically impossible to remove all the gluten." That would be saying, for example, that if I eat a banana, I am guaranteed to ingest gluten. Additionally, whether it is practical to make a 100% gluten-free food or not, it is practical for...
  25. celiac3270
    It's definitely more bearable when you have something good of your own......the problem is that I usually don't...........I remember my first few gluten-free lunches at school. At this point, my mom and I hadn't talked to the cook about what i can and can't eat, so for the first few days, I just ate a gluten-free meal replacement bar and one of those snack...
