    Thanks to both of you. Mariann, I e-mailed the company and if I don't get a response, I'll call them. Thanks for finding that for me . SteveW, I was interested to hear your experience with enzymes....I was wondering if perhaps enzymes caused others to feel badly, even if they're gluten-free. I guess you are right about meds....my old GI once suggested...
  2. celiac3270
    I've been on enzymes for 2 1/2 days, now......one with each meal. Because I go to a celiac dr., I didn't feel it was necessary to check that the enzymes he prescribed were gluten-free. Are they generally gluten-free or do you need to be really careful? I don't feel good at all every time I take them. The ones I am taking are made by "Global" and they...

    I completely agree about the lasagna....there is no difference in taste at all! Hotdogs/hamburgers, already suggested, are also a good choice. Hamburger meat is gluten-free and Oscar Meyer bun length and a few other kinds of their hotdogs are gluten-free, as well. Although the buns would be different, the hotdogs/burgers themselves wouldn't be. Both are...

    Burger King regular burgers aren't gluten-free, probably because of the bun, but the low-carb burgers are (probably cause they don't have a bun)

    Well, if you've been diagnosed positive through bloodwork, then you don't need the biopsy done. The biopsy is simply reaffirming the results of the bloodwork. The diet is a big change, so many have a biopsy to be sure; after all, you wouldn't want to go through life questioning if you really need to be on the diet. It's really up to you, though......it...

    It sounds very likely that she has celiac. The fact that you're limiting her diet to basic foods might mean that you're cutting out much of the gluten, which is helping her. Plain white rice is gluten-free, provided that you make it with water and not chicken broth (some broths contain gluten). Regardless of whether the doctor accepts your idea of it being...

    Thank you I just received a reply from them: I knew about Splenda, but was hesitant about using it since I've heard it can cause diarrhea and other celiac-like symptoms in some people....not due to gluten, but just some ingredient that's harsh on the system. I also had Nutrataste at home...Nutrataste, Equal, and Splenda...... ...they were...

    Is Equal, the artificial sweetener, gluten-free? I'm pretty sure it would be, because none of the ingredients are bad except possibly the maltodextrin, though it's unlikely. I know that "Sweet 'n Low" is gluten-free and it's made with the same ingredients, so I think Equal is, but wanted to be sure....thanks.

    Some mouthwashes are okay, but not all.........read labels, call companies
  10. celiac3270
    Thanks (about the list)....I just assumed that Perdue was gluten-free so that scared me, but I did read in their FAQs that their chicken is gluten-free.......phewf

    Celiac is covered in the Americans with Disabilities Act. It definitely helps you if he's in a public school, rather than a private school. With a private school, they should be accomodating, but don't have to be--they can run everything by their own rules. In a public school, however, there is an obligation to provide a gluten-free lunch if it is needed...

    SO TRUE! I didn't even think about the mood issue, but so many on the boards talk about having been depressed or angry before the diet (or some other mood) and after a few weeks on the diet, their moods changed.....good point
  13. celiac3270
    I'm the only one in my family who has it, too.......no grandparents or parents have it......my brother tested negative, but has the gene.
  14. celiac3270
    I find this stressful, also......not so much due to the difficulty and restrictions of the diet, but due to the symptoms and the stress they put on me. If I get sick and miss school, then I get stressed about what tests and notes I missed, and the stress makes the whole thing worse. Initially, I found the diet stressful, but now it's simply a burden......
  15. celiac3270
    Don't have any advice on preparing for a gluten challenge.....I never did one. I don't think that it's something really important unless you're doubting your celiac. I think that actual testing is the best judgment of that. If you feel better, I don't see the point in hurting yourself with more gluten.....the gluten-free diet is helping whether it's because...
  16. celiac3270
    Back again....I just checked the prices and depending on how thorough you want to be, the prices range from about $170 to about $360. For example, gene tests or not, etc........BTW, you order online.
  17. celiac3270
    I have not had any of these tests ever conducted, but I know a little about them. First, you can still run those tests. That's what's so good about them. Unless you've been off the diet for years and years, you can run them with accuracy. If you go to their website, Open Original Shared Link, you can get information on costs. They vary based upon what...

    I like Tinkyada pasta a lot, and so do most here on the boards. Kinnickinick is the most popular bread....I like it the most, and I've tried a lot of breads . If you haven't tried these, check them out.......it's a difficult change, probably difficult for him to understand, and it might take time. How old is he?
  19. celiac3270
    This may sound stupid, but you just click on them ! When you do so, you'll see something in code. For the laughing smiley, the one above, you'll see a colon, the letters "lol", and then another colon. Once you finish your post and add it, the smilies will change to the ones you see in all the posts. Eventually, you start to recognize the code for each...

    Sort of.......but if you compare the percentage of june votes to the percentage of all other votes as divided amongst the eleven other months, there are more June than the average month. This poll probably would have been better if I had made it May/June/July as an option. People aren't born exactly when they're supposed to be and if you're off by one day...
  21. celiac3270
    Try not to fret....it can take over a year to get better. I've been gluten-free since February, too, and I still have symptoms -- and I've been really paranoid about the diet and have been tested in many different ways for other problems. It takes time.
  22. celiac3270
    I'm not sure about Meltaways, but I think that one of Tylenol's chewables for babies is gluten-free........don't know the exact name, though, so I guess this isn't really helpful.
  23. celiac3270
    Yea....I do not eat there when I have other options. In February on vacation, I didn't have many options since I didn't know about any gluten-free chain restaurants at the time, so I ate there once or twice. In upstate NY, the people seem a little more knowledgeable....not about celiac, but about dedicated fryers, etc. In Manhattan, though..........no...
  24. celiac3270
    When I went to a GI (before I was diagnosed), I had all sorts of tests run to figure out what was wrong with me (sonograms, bone age, etc.). I was tested for celiac and other allergies, as well.......

    I have her business card, and if you call her office, I'm sure you could get Dr. Green's number.
