    Never found a baking soda that wasn't gluten-free. Somebody else said some baking powders have gluten but I don't know of any of those, either. If anybody does know of any specific brands that aren't gluten-free please let us know. richard

    Your husband just needs to eat simnple stuff -- fresh meat, vegetables and fruit. Then go from there. Yes, antibiotics can give you diarrhea, but he has more than that going on. richard

    Stephanie is right, isomalt might not agree with you, but it does not have barley. Neither does maltodextrin (it also doesn't have dextrin). richard

    Most of the eel with sauce does have soy sauce, but this one might have been a different recipe. Also, don't forget to avoid the fake crab. Virtually all has wheat. richard

    "All the chain restaurants have gluten-free and "allergy" menus on their websites. I can eat at Burger King, Wendy's or McDonalds knowing the food I choose is 100% safe." I also hate to rain on any parades, but fast-food restaurants are FAR from 100 percent safe. I know a woman with celiac disease who used to own six of them and she wouldn't eat at any...

    If there's wheat, rye, barley (don't know about oats but that wouldn't be hidden anyway), it will be clearly listed as such. If it's not, then the MFS is safe and so is the product.. richard

    Raw meat would have to list wheat or barley if it's there. richard

    I can't give you a direct substitute or recipe but you definitely do not want to use potato flour as a one-for-one sub. For one thing, I don't think you'd like the taste. richard

    It should have been gluten-free. richard

    The Deland Bakery millet bread was actually tested by a couple of people because so many had complained about reactions. It tested very high in gluten. I can't recommend any other bread because I haven't tasted one that I ppersonally think is worth the money or the bother. richard

    Dum dums are indeed gluten-free. richard

    Even if you didn't eat the salsa, fast food places are among the worst for cross contamination. richard

    I think you'd have to tell us what flavor. richard

    "Steadyed spoke of what I had touched on. I am glad you brought it up. The point is that after the consecration the host does NOT contain gluten. Most people do not have the faith to believe that and that is where much of the problem lies." So are you saying that the Catholics who I know who have gotten sick from the wafers are either imagining they got...

    "Does anyone know this technique and what the name of it is? " I'd call it superstition. richard

    A week or two isn't enopugh time to hardly even begin the healing if you've been really sick. I was so ill I ended up missing 10 weeks of work and even then I tried going back too soon. Some people also have withdrawal symptoms when they stop eating gluten. Some people say papaya juice soothes their stomachs. Also, eat very simply and avoid eating out...

    ARCHIVED Doctors?

    lovegrov replied to blueshift's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Mine is a mixed tale. I got DH while I was in my 20s and although my doctor tried and tried to get me to go gluten-free, he also never told me about the celiac link. None of my doctors did. All I knew was that dapsone took care of the DH. I wish I had known more earlier. However, when I DID suddenly get very ill from celiac, my GI did quickly find the...

    Generally speaking, oats can be contaminated in the field, in harvesting, during transportation or storage, or during processing. Lots of ways. richard

    First, your daughter was tested too young. Results are not very accurate at that age. I would ask my regular doctor, not the GI, to take blood and have the celiac panel done BEFORE ever taking your daughter off gluten. Believe me, if you take her off and she improves immensely, it's going to pain both you and her to force her to eat gluten again. A competent...

    Fermentation then distillation is correct but nobody is claiming all the gluten is "eaten up" during fermentation. It isn't. It's the distillation part of the process that removes the gluten NOT the fermentation. Beer is not gluten-free because it's not distilled. I know many people with celiac who drink distilled liquor that has wheat, barley or rye....

    Unless you've got large medical expenses other than gluten-free food AND you can itemize, the tax thing isn't worth it. It's also still somewhat questionable whether it's legal. richard

    Probably tested you for a whole host of other things, including, I hope, B vitamins. Lack of B12 can be very bad. These tests should be standard for anybody with flattened villi, so it sounds like your doc is on top of things. richard

    ARCHIVED Vietnamese Food

    lovegrov replied to tammy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    The two Thai restaurants I've been to, a larger number of dishes did NOT have soy sauce. Pad Thai, for instance, should not have soy sauce. But I don't doubt that some add it. All you can do is ask. In addition, all the Thai rice noodles I've bought have been wheat free, but some restaurants might do something different. richard
  24. lovegrov
    He could have celiac AND something else (false positives for celiac are rare). This is not standard for celiac. richard
  25. lovegrov
    As for recipes, the Internet is just loaded with them. Do a serach for gluten=free recipes or even just "simple recipes," 30-minuye meals," "crockpot meals," or something similar. richard
