    Lipton is gluten-free--and they have naturally decaffeinated tea

    I apologize if I came across as belittling allergies--I was just annoyed that someone would suggest that it wouldn't be celiac disease or that allergies are always worse than celiac. I know they can be--more restricting in diet, more severe if the allergen is injested......just, sorry if I offended you, Jessica, or anyone else.

    Citric acid is always fine..... Maybe since this wasn't the actual celiac, but a friend, it was a different ingredient? If you check the ingredient list, too, citric acid won't be there. It's fine.

    Step 1: Make sure you're entirely gluten-free--make sure there's nothing that you have in the house that has not been verified as gluten-free. Check toothpaste (Crest and Colgate are fine, but Sensodyne is not), shampoo, makeup (if you're a female), etc. Step 2: I agree--keep a journal. Keep track of when you feel really sick, stools (formed or not,...

    Envirokids makes a cereal called "Gorilla Munch", which is like corn pops or Kix, but it tastes a little sweeter since it's sweetened with evaporated cane sugar or something. I don't have a box, though, so I can't tell you how many carbs it has. The best bread comes from Kinnickinick or Ener-G (Kinnickinick is the most-liked, I like the two about equally...

    They do--EnviroKids has a couple good ones that are gluten-free--they go by strange names like "Gorilla Munch" and stuff-- they're just different names for cereals that you'd probably know better as corn flakes, frosted flakes, or corn pops. I'm not sure if they ship overseas, but I'd just contact all the companies--phone or e-mail and see if they'd ship...

    For stainless steel, I'd say just wash it carefully, but teflon is one of the worst materials (hardest to clean) to get the gluten out of.

    It's not--it's just that "deener" thought it was.

    I'm sorry to hear about this. Celiac disease and diabetes are related, however, in that celiacs are more likely to get diabetes. To answer your questions, if your daughter tests positive, everyone in your family should be tested. Celiac is genetic, so someone in your family has had it before your daughter (you or your husband, grandparents, great grandparents...

    Despite all the controversy about your posts, I did enjoy reading your opinions and research--even if you don't have a medical background--and will miss your posts. You went into a lot of aspects that many of us, myself included, don't--trying to find correlations between celiac and other conditions and really going beyond the typical celiac research and...

    I'm not a parent and I can't offer advice on gluten-free baby food, but I can tell you that, unfortunately, there is no real replacement for Cheerios. Envirokids makes a couple gluten-free cereals that are like corn flakes or frosted flakes, but there's no replacement that's even decent.
  12. celiac3270
    Sure--I agree as well--I would not eat there. Just wanted to post it though, cause I wouldn't have even known they had a gluten-free list and I want to share what I find with everyone here........
  13. celiac3270
    The gluten-free diet isn't the reason for us not getting enough nutrients. The main problem is that since gluten wreaked havoc on our intestines, our bodies were not absorbing the vitamins and in some cases, still don't (this applying to celiacs who are still healing). You should be able to get the same vitamins on the gluten-free diet, possibly more since...

    That's absolutely ridiculous that she could say that an allergy is always worse or more likely the culprit. Sure, allergies can have harsh consequences, like someone with a peanut allergy having their throat close up and stuff, but celiac is: A) EXTREMELY COMMON (1/133) CAUSING OR LINKED TO SO MANY ADDITIONAL COMPLICATIONS (thyroid problems, lupus...

    There's no set description, same as there isn't one type of adult celiac, but often the celiac child is very thin (from malnutrition) or on the shorter side. Of course, gastric symptoms can also lead you to the celiac. Because celiac is also often passed on through genetics, I think it's very likely that she has celiac. Low weight, low height, unexplained...

    I found these through another celiac support group. You actually can eat gluten-free at subway, though the options are limited. Here's the link: Open Original Shared Link Also, I got a list to another place I'd never heard of, Culvers--it only has a list for wheat, so you'd have to ask about all gluten. Here's the link: Open Original Shared...

    I think if you ask they'll tell you for sure--especially if you say that it's due to a serious intolerance. The main place that they would not use regular Coke or Pepsi is at the movies, but just order it in the bottle if you can. I've seen them do it at one restaurant--the syrup, a lot of sugar, and some sort of carbonated water. If you ask they should...

    Carrie, I just want to warn you of one thing with softdrinks, too. At McDonalds or something, you should be fine, but be careful in restaurants or at movie theatres if they have fountain drinks--sometimes it's not Coke or Pepsi, but a supermarket cola type thing or they order a syrup and then add the carbonated water and sugar to it....we don't know if...

    I took Prilosec for awhile....it's gluten-free
  20. celiac3270
    Yes--I heard it was something to do with calcium, also. I just heard something like...calcium deposits, but I bet you're right. Calcium....ya, I bet I'm lacking in it. I get very little--don't drink milk--used to drink calcium-fortified OJ, but stopped because of the acidity. I'll see what I can do about that. I don't think my nails are getting traumatized...

    No really bad side effects-- but when I tried enzymes awhile ago (Lipram CR-10), they made me really nauseous and queasy for hours after I took them sometimes for a day or two. I stopped taking them and that stopped. I checked again to make sure and they were gluten-free. If you have bad side effects, you just stop taking them and they go away. But most...

    Please excuse my ignorance on this , but what is tmj? Oh, soft food: Yogurt Smoothies Soup Jello Applesauce Pudding Soft canned fruit (like mandarin oranges) Grits (Arrowhead Mills has a cereal, Rice and Shine). You could make it really soupy kinda and then it would be very soft Peanut butter? Frozen yogurt or ice cream I'll...

    Thanks -- I saw that in another post you made. That's helpful. I also posted this one under that post: Open Original Shared Link
  24. celiac3270
    Tremendous health benefits in my opinion-- wheat is not very good for people in general--it's hard to digest, even for people without celiac disease. Additionally, giving up wheat means giving up many processed foods with all those chemicals and artificial ingredients that also aren't good for anyone's body. It will not hurt you to cut gluten out of your...

    In food in the US, maltodextrin is not a problem. In other countries, I'm not sure what the status of it is. In the USA, you only need to watch out for maltodextrin containing gluten when it's in medication.
