    Normal to take weeks or months to get fully better...but your symptoms should be getting better with each day, not worse. A nutritionist told me that your symptoms can get worse (as you say your symptoms have) before they get better. I always thought I had it bad, but not nearly as bad as you have. I had been w/o symptoms for the past two weeks (a record...

    Good points...I prefer warmed muffins, (Foods By George is AMAZING...I've only tried their corn muffins, but when I tasted it, I honestly checked the box again to make sure it was gluten-free! Foods By George also make Brownies, which are also amazing. They have a high standard for gluten-free foods...it all tastes like the regular stuff, if not better...

    The US, I think... That's what threw me off! My brother (non-celiac) sometimes eats the original Doritos and that's the only kind I ever ate. I recall looking at the label, seeing wheat, or something, and coming to the conclusion that ALL Doritos weren't gluten-free. Then, I think I read the bag of the "Cooler Ranch", saw they were gluten-free...

    Biggest Frustration: Being sick and having stomach problems, gas, bloating, etc. for seven years...and not knowing what it was....and having people think that I was "getting myself sick" by stressing out....etc. Hardest Thing to Give Up: Pizza...I thought it would be bagels, since I ate them every morning and loved them, but I found a decent replacement...

    I actually never thought about that (baby food) and I can see both points (easier on digestive system, but too easy). We're probably just better off eating normally (gluten-free, though, of course) and over time, our villi will heal...

    Hi Eddie, Celiac Disease is, obviously life altering; you don't really ever entirely fit in with situations including food and drink. Although you can make discussions w/ chefs/waiters discreet, you're never really entirely the same as you were before. There are gluten-free foods and gluten-free drinks, but you can never keep your lifestyle entirely...

    Yep...I saw that article this morning on the internet, too....it's good that we have an article in an important newspaper (isn't it like the NY Times in Boston?). As for the content, it's not too enlightening for me....but it is very good to get in the media again.....the easiest way to let people know is the media....thanks for posting, Ruth. -celiac...

    Sorry....I just checked and I was wrong...for anyone else who had that same question, you can check at Open Original Shared Link:

    Hi, I understand the whole FritoLay thing...possible contamination since not all products made on equipment are gluten-free.....lays potato chips, wavy lays, fritos, cheetos, lays stacks are all gluten-free............and I thought that Doritos weren't. Then, on another thread (I don't remember which or where), I think it was Jessica who said something...

    Exactly -- the fact that it's a fountain soda makes no difference. As long as you can verify that it is truly Pepsi or Coke, and not some supermarket Cola, you're fine. And, how do we even know that those aren't gluten-free; after all, there's no phone number to call.

    What happened to my post here? I posted one maybe 20 min. ago on this topic and it's gone!

    Yeah, I've heard the hashbrowns are gluten-free, also....

    Hi, I found this list under another section, and felt that it might be helpful to those browsing this section of the forum, as well. Jessica retrieved it from the old board where Mariann (gf4life, or back then, fernandofamily) researched and posted it. Because it mentioned other problems associated with celiac disease, I thought it might be helpful here...
  14. celiac3270
    That is a good list. Thank you, Jessica, for retrieving the list...thank you Mariann for researching it in the first place. It is much longer and more comprehensive than any others that I've read. -celiac3270

    Well, if you're referring to intentionally going off the diet, two things: - I have no idea why you'd want to - You'd have your obvious short-term symptoms, but then, of course, the potential to develop long-term complications: cancer, osteoporosis, etc. If you mean, what would happen if you accidentally ingested wheat, then: - Your previous symptoms...

    Wow!! Quite a collection...I'll be sure to save all these!!! Also, Open Original Shared Link for eating out.

    Yep, I've had McDonald's fries with no problem...their fries were good for lunch during long car rides (such as when I went skiing earlier this year). No problems with them after 3-4 times having them since starting the gluten-free diet. They have a part of a website where they list gluten-free products...someone here may have already mentioned it (I...

    True...I've had that happen

    Be careful about rice -- although rice itself is gluten-free, be sure that it's not cooked in chicken broth....make sure it's cooked in water. From you name, YankeeFan, it seems as if you live in NY. If so, here are some restaurant links: at Silly-Yak.com they have restaurants that are or accomodate to gluten-free eaters in NYC: If you don't...

    Fortunately, I have only had to eat out once since going gluten-free (I don't like eating out to begin with, and dining out w/celiac disease scares me). I don't use a restaurant card. The one time I ate out I ate a baked potato (just ate the inside so I didn't need to worry about contamination w/skin). I also made sure that the steak didn't have any sauces...

    Miss chips? Frito Lays? They have lots of gluten-free items even though they don't guarantee being free from contamination. I've had no problems: - Cheetos - Fritos - Lays Potato Chips - Wavy Lays - Lays Stacks (I've heard, but haven't tried).

    So did my nutritionist...Wrigley's....whenever I chew gum it's Wrigley's...I never knew about those other ones. I've had no reaction to Wrigley's. -celiac3270
  23. celiac3270
    Nicely put...I concur...if 1 in 150 have celiac disease, it's ridiculous that you need to call all the companies. I think that the companies should have to specify -- on the label -- whether or not their products have gluten...or at least make their natural/artificial flavors a little clearer....after all, if it weren't for this board, we'd literally have...
  24. celiac3270
    Not gluten-free!!!
  25. celiac3270
    Thanks for posting this...I had tried to access the old list not too long ago and was told that it no longer existed. Honestly, I am not a big fan of these lists....as people find mistakes in them I lose confidence in their accuracy. I prefer to find out from the actual company or from the board, although numbers to call the companies are helpful.
