    I think that the best pizza crust is Open Original Shared Link, but that needs to be made. Amy's makes a pizza that is prepared and frozen--and I've heard, pretty good. Some lunch suggestions (may overlap with others already mentioned): Fresh Fruit Yogurt -- Dannon Plain or anything made by Yoplait that doesn't have granola or cookie crumbs or something...

    A couple materials are bad: teflon (especially), plastic, wood (such as in wooden spoons), etc. With steel, you can get new pots/pans if you want, but you don't have to. I personally would, but if you make sure that it's ALWAYS cleaned very well, you should be okay. Things you should replace: - Collander (no matter what material it's made out of, it...

    I found this link to a Kraft article, a two-page adobe article that extensively deals with their labeling policy and takes you through how you would read the label of three products. The first two have obvious sources of gluten, such as "enriched wheat flour" or "barley malt", but the last one is a cheese topping that only has gluten in the artificial flavors...

    Nope...it takes months for people's antibodies to come down.

    Wow...all of this was really interesting to read (Yes, Dear, The Food Network, a previous Oprah letter-writing spree...). I never got to take part in the last letter spree....if this one letter (with very good statistics included), doesn't do anything, maybe we should organize another! Write letters every year until we get Celiac Disease on the show!

    It's gluten-free....and I think basically any artificial sweetener could (Splenda, Equal, Sweet 'n Low, Stevia, etc.) EDIT: Oh...didn't read the whole post ....no artificial additives? Hmm...somebody else might know.

    Thank you for writing...that would be amazing if she did a show on it--with all the viewers and influence she has...wow...keep us posted if anything comes of it!

    Hmm....well, it's good that it doesn't cause pain--but I'd bring it up with your GI, all the same...if there was some other problem, you'd want to know about it. I made the mistake of waiting a year, thinking I was gettings sick because my intestines weren't fully healed.
  9. celiac3270
    Yes--artificial sweeteners can do that--in particular, Splenda, which can cause gastrointestinal symptoms (such as diarrhea) that are similar to those of celiac disease even though Splenda is gluten-free--and it can cause those symptoms in anyone (celiac or not).

    I'm really happy for you that he's feeling better, having, at least, started to cut out gluten. I think it's good for him to take vitamins, since his body had been deprived of nutrients (from destroyed villi). Sorry--I don't really know many gluten-free vitamins besides Centrum...how old is he? Does he swallow pills/vitamins? Once he's 100% gluten-free...

    I was taking Prilosec OTC (over the counter)...just a regular one--not the kids kind--and the doctor had me taking two a day, rather than the suggested one.
  12. celiac3270
    Right--that would be dh (dermatitis herpetiformis), which I mentioned in my last post:
  13. celiac3270
    Yes -- in the beginning you want to feel better so badly that you expect it will happen within a week...then within a month....it all varies, though...many start to feel better within the first month--some people take much longer (4-7 months).
  14. celiac3270
    With celiac, though, the gluten has to get to your small intestine to cause a reaction...if you baked with wheat flour often and inhaled a lot of it, or crumbs of gluten-containing bread or something that got digested, then it would cause a reaction. Otherwise, it wouldn't--which is why it doesn't matter if you touch (unless you have dh) or smell gluten
  15. celiac3270
    Yes--this list might be slightly outdated...some of these groups may not exist anymore.
  16. celiac3270
    Wow--Kaiti, I just saw the change of signature (diagnosed with Graves Disease March 16th). I'm not familiar with it--what led to the diagnosis (were you having symptoms) and what....is it, basically? Thank you....
  17. celiac3270
    Hmm...it'll be interesting to read their reply......I don't think anyone mentions calling or e-mailing a company about cigarettes in any of the threads I posted. Another thing, though--some people work in bakeries (not gluten-free) and are okay from inhaling it, so even if they aren't gluten-free, try not to be too concerned--I guess it could cause a reaction...
  18. celiac3270
    It doesn't claim to cure celiac disease--but many celiacs find that once they start this diet, their symptoms go away. As you will read, it's difficult to implement because you're essentially cutting out all processed foods and then many staple ingredients....Strack2004 has been on the diet for over six months so she could help you out more than I could...

    Artificial flavoring may or may not be safe. Jello is, however, made by Kraft Foods, which means that if "wheat" or "rye" or "barley", etc. does not come up on the label, it is not in the product. If there is, for example, wheat in the artificial flavors, it would be written as follows: artificial flavors (wheat). I happen to remember, also, that Jello...

    I did a search for threads on it: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link
  21. celiac3270
    I remember reading that some are and some aren't...I can't tell you which ones cause I've never smoked and nobody in my family does. I sometimes get nauseous from cigarette smoke when I'm around it for any length of time, but it's not celiac-related.
  22. celiac3270
    Yes--and at least this article doesn't mention someone like that celebrity (in another post) who eats the insides of sandwiches...this gives accurate information, rather than forming an image that falsely portrays the restrictions, difficulty, and importance of contamination.
  23. celiac3270
    A good number here do not have an official diagnosis--either because they tried the diet, found it helped, and didn't want to go back to gluten to get tested, or because they got negative testing, tried the diet anyway, and found it worked for whatever reason...I agree that if it works, it doesn't matter what the tests show, but that's the way to eat.
  24. celiac3270
    Lol...nothing to add, but I couldn't help but comment...love the dry humor of that
  25. celiac3270
    Has anyone heard of this company or tried any products by them? Open Original Shared Link
