    Scary -- very scary that the could get away with that. Gosh...makes me wonder if I'm being contaminated.

    Well, all I know about intermittant symptoms is that when you hit puberty symptoms can decrease in severity regardless of gluten intake or go away entirely. This is why doctors used to think that you grew out of celiac disease.

    Get the list, anyway, but to get you started, these products are gluten-free: - Cheetos - Fritos - Lays - Wavy Lays - Lays Stacks Frito Lays does warn, however, that even their gluten-free products are produced with equipment that also handles non-gluten-free products, such as Doritos. Sensitive Celiacs might want to stay away from Frito Lays...

    My parents and brother have been tested -- and don't have it. Nobody in my family is known to have it or has symptoms like it except for me. However, my grandmother on my mother's side...who came from Switzerland has osteoporosis (a long-term symptom) and has always been REALLY thin...thinner than I ever was. I think she has it, but don't know for sure...

    Crystal Light is gluten-free. As a matter of fact, whenever you read a Kraft label, the flavorings are gluten-free unless they say "wheat" or something like that in parens. Crystal Light has some drink mixes that aren't lemonade, but has a pink lemonade and a regular lemonade, as well.

    Hi Lindsey, Obviously, the only reason we're all on gluten-free diets is because we don't want to run into complictions like cancer in the long term. However, having "short-term" symptoms helps a lot. It takes a long time, but your symptoms will start to go away. It could take a year, but eventually they'll go away and then you're free from them for...

    Never mind...it doesn't really matter...thanks anyway. -celiac3270

    Thanks

    Question for Admin: Where'd you get the layout for this message board. At another site (that has nothing to do with celiac disease) I saw a message board that looks just like it. I love the layout of this board and would love to use one just like it for a website I'm making in my free time. Is there any way that you could tell me either where I could...

    Hi...I've been on the diet for over four months, and want to share my weight experiences. Pre-diagnosis, I was five feet tall, thirteen years old, and 70 pounds. When I'd get sick with symptoms, I'd drop a pound or two. In the beginning I quickly gained...maybe 6 or 7 pounds. Since then I've stayed around 77 or 78. Mood improvements and formed bowels...

    Okay, I have nothing more to say about irritability, but regarding pizza...just try this. Chebe is AMAZING!!! I missed "real pizza" more than anything when I started, but this stuff is just as good. You can't get it in stores, but here's their website: Open Original Shared Link. Don't buy the pizza crust thingy (which doesn't taste as good as the bread...

    Yuck...really? Why would they coat it with flour some days, and not others? That's pretty dumb. Anyway, last night I finished an Advil bottle with a headache, so I'll be careful with my next pain reliever...
  13. celiac3270
    My family doesn't eat entirely gluten-free...probably because it's a pain in the neck to do so when you don't have to, and second, it's an unnecessary added expense. In terms of cross-contamination: - COOKING EQUIPMENT: My family uses the same pots and pans that we always had, but I have my own pot, spatula, pan, measuring cup, strainer (since the old...

    I never saw the old board until reading this post...is there any specific area that is of great value...I quickly scanned some of the information and liked this board better (probably since this is where I started). Somebody said something about copying recipes, is there any other area that is particularly valuable? Thanks.

    Of course, not all types of Tylenol/Advil are gluten-free, but I take advil for pain/headache relief. Before I found out that some type of Advil was gluten-free, there was this homeopathic stuff that was fine, but I found it hard to swallow...

    - As Tarnalberry said, smoothies, applesauce, yogurt (almost all my ideas) - Also, canned fruits (mandarin oranges, peaches, etc.). And of course, you could mash them up. .......not much, but I hope it helps in some way

    My bloodtests showed that I had it, but I did the biopsy anyway....and it also showed that I had it. If the doctor is confident enough about the Celiac, it shouldn't matter. In addition, if you've started her on the diet, and you now plan to get the biopsy, then she's going to have to go back to eating gluten for an accurate test. you might be better off...

    Sorry, I accidentally posted something twice, so I deleted it from here. My apologies.
  19. celiac3270
    Yeah...I've tried all three, though, and the chocolate chip s a real disappointment. Ginger is okay....but I think the arrowroot animal crackers are the only one worth eating all the time.... One more suggestion: my symptoms primarily include stomach pains, and sometimes I vomit from them. They've been getting better, but if anyone here has similar symptoms...

    Those were the first gluten-free cookies I ever tried and my second favorite to this day. I found an AMAZING chocolate cookie w/chocolate chips -- really good -- unfortunately, I don't have the box here, since I ate the last one yesterday...they're not by mi-del, but my absolute favorite...sorry I don't know what they're called
  21. celiac3270
    Don't worry about it...I made numerous unintentional gluten mistakes, one that was similar to yours with the pasta: - My first week I only knew that I couldn't eat wheat, oats, barley, etc. I didn't know about natural flavorings, malt, etc. I read the package of a candy thing my brother was eating: "Gushers", didn't see "wheat" written anywhere, ate...

    Hi, I'm 13 and a little over 5 feet. Before going on the gluten-free diet, I was around 70 pounds, maintaining, but not gaining. Each year, I would gain about one-two pounds, or sometimes stay the same. After the gluten-free diet, I gained weight...but only what I wanted to. I wanted to get up to 85-90 pounds so I wouldn't feel guilty about running and...
  23. celiac3270
    I, too, am trying to put on a few pounds. I'm not severely underweight, and I have actually been quite successful since starting...I used to be straddling the 70 pound mark, dropping to 68 if I'd get sick, and now I'm nearly 80...much better, although it couldn't hurt to add another ten pounds. When I started, my mother went to a nutritionist while I was...
  24. celiac3270
    I have had no reaction to the PB I use: SKIPPY. JIF is also supposed to be gluten-free
  25. celiac3270
    My symptoms included: 1. Bloating/gas 2. Diarrhea 3. Cramping in my stomach (the worst symptom for me) sometimes accompanied with vomiting.
