    Kristina? ...she suggested the same thing to me. I use "Ener-G".....never tried Kinnikinnick, but have heard raves for it.....and other products by the company such as donuts......... -celiac3270

    Applesauce....as long as it's all apples...and some sugar, perhaps, it's fine.......oh, yeah, I just saw that you said you found one that was fine. There are plenty of gluten-free yogurts...don't know which cause I'm still dairy-free; in the recovery stage. Scroll up and hit "site map" on the left...then find something that says something like "gluten...

    Hi HeatherMelissa, The most important thing is that you found it! How old is your daughter? Anyway, I'm 13 and consider myself to be a semi-picky eater ....celiac disease makes you less selective, though....you have to try new things to eat . I didn't get any cookbooks cause many of the recipes are too complicated and requiring many obscure ingredients...

    Coca-Cola is gluten-free: regular, caffeine free, diet, diet and caffeine free, etc...I don't know about that C2, but it's probably fine as well. I didn't check into Vanilla or Cherry Coke, but I don't drink those that often....the regular kinds that I listed above are fine. Pepsi is gluten-free: regular, caffeine free, diet, diet and caffeine free.....

    ARCHIVED Westcester Dentist?

    Thank you, Kathleen....some good information. My grandparents live in Stamford, CT!...I don't think I'll end up changing dentists, but it wouldn't be too inconvenient....after all, you only see the dentist every six months and I go see my grandparents at least that frequently so I wouldn't even have to make a special trip.... Thanks for the floss brand...

    I completely understand what you mean, catfish......I've been on the diet for....it'll be 5 months tomorrow. Like I said in an earlier post, I still have they symptoms. I had the abdominal pains, vomiting, some diarrhea, bloating, gas, low weight (not losing, but not really gaining)....the works . I always had a lot of energy so that hasn't been an issue...

    ARCHIVED Time Article

    celiac3270 replied to dkmb's topic in Publications & Publicity

    I read that article.....a few days ago.....none of these articles, obviously, give us anything new except for statistics...but it's still a really powerful statement and something to think about. -celiac3270

    I agree with Celiacfreeman.......I wouldn't eat out in the beginning, either....then again, this is coming from someone who was never a big fan of restaurants to begin with . It is scary to put your health in the hands of others, especially in the beginning. I only trust my mom or myself to make a truly gluten-free meal..........and I'm gaining trust...

    ugg...I still have all three (not so much diarrhea, but mostly vomiting, nausea, and cramping).... .....but it's much less severe -celiac3270

    I know what everyone else will recommend so I may as well say it now: Open Original Shared Link. You get advice on what tests to take (and they're supposed to be more inexpensive)....you have choices on how many and which you choose to take. Someone else can give you more info. I haven't taken any tests there, but many others have. -celiac3270
  12. celiac3270
    thanks for the list.... -celiac3270
  13. celiac3270
    A good point....you said that you've had a blood test done. If that gives you enough confidence that you have it, that's all that really matters. Some people never get any kind of formal diagnosis, but try the diet out of desperation from their situation. If a bloodtest is already enough evidence in your mind, Molly's correct: you don't need more testing...

    I did a bloodtest, then a biopsy.....and came back a positive for both. Although I didn't do the enterolab tests, MANY on the board have, and can probably tell you a lot about them. You don't need to know which tests to do; I believe you're told what would be the best tests to run....and, unlike the biopsy, there are no tubes stuck down your throat ....

    First off, if they're real friends, they'll continue to be friends regardless of whether or not you choose to eat with them. Second, perhaps you could make a compromise. Read about which restaurants are gluten-free, do some research, and maybe next time, YOU choose where to eat out . I don't really like restaurants, either, and am anxious about put my...

    Talk to the chef, of course, but I'd be very wary of any buffets....it's too easy to get contaminated...either utensils changing spots and being used for multiple foods or crumbs getting into something that might otherwise be gluten-free. Be extremely careful with eating anything straight from the buffet -- if a chef brings you something you can eat, I think...

    Will do....just out of interest, why?....do mint-flavored things usually contain gluten? -celiac3270

    Hi, Welcome to the board. This is a really great spot to get support, as well as build on your knowledge. In February of this year, on the 17th, I guess, I came here with no knowledge of celiac disease....I find it amazing to look back on how much I've learned over the months without realizing it. I'm sure you'll find the board as helpful as we all have...

    I don't really use lotion...don't have issues with my shampoo....use Banana Boat sunscreen.......but about the soap. My dad travels a lot and sometimes he brings home some of the soaps from hotels if he stays at really good ones. Is this bad?.....how impt. is the soap thing? I wash my hands A LOT...I used to do it because I thought that I just had a...

    I think we're all paranoid about this....or at least, I am, too......but in my case because I want to feel better. I'll just try to stay healthy and if I don't get better for a long time, I'll start keeping a really meticulous record of what I eat so I can analyze what foods are giving me issues. For now, I think and hope that I'm still sick from those...

    I agree with Kristina on that....I am not a big fan of the site, either....even though I live in NYC, cause it doesn't list other major cities (so it's not helpful for traveling).....and I don't eat out in the city, much, anyway....I really dislike restaurants. I can honestly say that I have a deep aversion....not quite HATE, cause it's not their fault...

    I don't get a lot of headache-migraines....I had two while on vacation (lol...no, it wasn't a stressful trip )...in March of this year , but haven't had any since. However..... Since around birth, I've gone to the same pediatrician.....then a few years ago he switched insurance plans....and I switched doctors . I always thought he was a good...

    celiac3270 replied to a topic in Doctors

    Why do you need a Celiac-aware dentist? I just had a filling and I read somewhere, prior to going to the dentist, about Novocain being gluten-free . In addition, nearly all toothpastes (all?) are gluten-free, and if you want to, I'm sure your dentist would let you bring your own gluten-free toothpaste. If you say this because a dentist who deals with...

    I agree with Richard that it would require more than 1 serving for a month....every doctor has his or her own opinion, but I think most would agree that one serving a day for a month is too little. Other than that, I don't have too much to add....except that I feel REALLY, REALLY sorry for you. I've been gluten-free since February and my symptoms seem...

    I have never cheated, but see where you're coming from with a lot of your comments. I don't like to talk to people about it, either. I don't have problems making friends, but try to avoid food situations or talking about it. I still wouldn't use something like that....after all, they're always finding complications or problems with drugs later on...I...
