    I think your odds of conceiving go pretty much back to normal once you've been gluten-free for a certain period and healed. richard

    The malt is made from barley and therefore is off limits. The gluten content is probably extremely small, but it's there. richard

    Somebody might correct me but I don't think Kinnikinnick sells online anywhere but their own site. They do sell at scattered stores in Canada and the U.S. You can go to the web site to find stores and see if there's one near you. richard

    I know people with mild to moderate depression who say St. John's Wort is great. I'm nopt sure studies really support it, but it might be worth a try. If you're taking any other medications, you need to make sure the St. John's won't cause problems. Remeber, I am not a doctor or medical person. Please look into this carefully yourself. Exercise is indeed...

    It does vary according to individual, but from what I've seen over the years 2-4 days is the most common. richard

    Never heard of this as a gluten reaction. richard, roanoke, va.

    Yes, stay away. Distilled items from wheat, such as vinegar (very rare) or alcohol, are OK, but not glucose. richard

    The regular unbreaded wings are deep fried in their own separate fryer. Sauces are not added until after frying, otherwise the sauces would be fried off. As always, check at each individual place, but I'd be surprised if they didn't all do it this way. richard

    The wings at BWW are gluten-free except the Thai and Teriyaki. richard

    Flax seed is fine. richard

    Just my opinion, but you had two positive bloods tests, one biopsy that was at least somewhat suspicious, improved on the gluten-free diet and then got worse when you started eating gluten again, have unexplained anemia, have diarrhea every time you eat gluten, and have now been sick for five years. I know it's not easy on a busy schedule, but it sounds like...

    It's just impossible to say one way or the other. I'd say that if she had damage it's unlikely to have completely healed after just two weeks being mostly gluten-free, but there's no quarantee. For someobdy who has indeed healed, the recommendation is eating gluten for 12 weeks. richard.

    Gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin. It is physically impossible. Crumbs on your feet or hands might cause some sort of allergic reaction but the gluten molecules are just flat out too large to move through your skin's protective barrier. And, no, medication patches are not proof that we can absorb gluten. Those patches and medications are specifically...

    It's not flour. Think what a goopy mess that would be when it got wet. richard

    Don't forget exercise, even if it's just walking. Absolutely essential. richard

    gluten-free last time I checked. richard

    I've never found a peanut butter with gluten. richard

    My guess is your boyfriend shouldn't drink. Some people develop bad reactions to alcohol of any kind. richard

    If your wife had celiac as a child then she still has it. Did she sort of go into remission in her teens and or as a young adult and start eating glutrn again? That happens a lot but celiac NEVER goes away and it soundslike it's back with her. richard

    The corned beef I'm talking about is in the meat case. Chunk of meat packed in juice with a spice packet you add. You cook it in water for hours. I'm not talking about the greasy squares of meat you get in a can (although I've also found them to be gluten-free). richard

    Are you taking any sort of probiotics or good bacteria to help your gut heal? I never had the real difficulty eating (except for a short while) but I definitely had the agonzing muscle pain. I'm not sure your stomach would handle Advil but that's what I took. richard
  22. lovegrov
    Call companies. All the corned beef I've ever checked has been gluten-free, even with natural flavorings. richard
  23. lovegrov
    Didn't read every word but is your husband taking a probiotic? If not, it might help and certainly won't hurt. richard

    Steamed, boiled or broiled seafood should almost without exception be safe. Ask about their spices, usually there's no reason in the world to eat it plain. If you're in a place that uses Old Bay or Zatarain's, both are gluten-free. richard

    Can't think of how else to say this except to repeat -- Kraft will clearly list wheat, rye, barley or oats if it's in there. They are one of the best big companies about this. If those are not in the ingredients, IT IS gluten-free. No need to question it any further. richard
