    Well, I'm no expert and it's hard to diagnose by Internet, but based on my personal experience with DH, it sounds more like an allergy. richard

    To me, it sounds more like a skin allergy of some sort than DH. richard

    As with everything else connected to celiac disease, it depends on the person. richard

    No particular brand. I just wash them, which everybody should do anyway. richard

    I have never worried much about nuts and never had an issue with them. richard

    Looking back to when I was a kid this was very obviously one of my symptoms. I ate chalk, soft rocks, dirt and so on. At various times as an adult I had the same compulsion. It disappeared completely after I went gluten-free. richard

    I eat the Kroger chips. richard

    Clamato has always been gluten-free. richard

    Peter is right. Blue cheese is considered safe without qualification. richard

    Yes. richard

    From everything I've read, the diet "works" because if enough people try it, a certain percentage will find something beneficial. In other words, there's no science involved, it's just sheer chance. richard

    Keep it up!! There's lots of stuff out there to eat. richard

    I think I started out with clear itchy blisters, probably on my elbows or knees or both. richard

    I remember one celiac doctor saying that the vast majority of "refractory" cases she saw were either bacterial overgrowth or failure to eliminate all gluten. richard

    Oh please, Karl Otto, get serious. Having celiac is absolutely nothing compared to what you can pass along to your children -- susceptibility to heart disease, cancer, stroke and on and on. MOST children with a parent with celiac will never develop celiac. Are you really saying it's better for those people never to have lived simply because they might not...

    Not to be negative, but it'll never happen. richard

    If it were to help you -- and there's no guarantee it will -- there's really no way at all to say how long before you would see results. All of us are different. For instance, my dermatitis herpetiformis disappeared almost instantly after going gluten-free, but others take anywhere from weeks to a couple of years. richard

    You need a new doctor. richard

    glutenfreedrugs.com is one site. That list says Provera is gluten-free. Other than that, you normally have to call the manufacturer. And you usually get a confusing or legalese answer. In the U.S., the vast majority of meds are gluten-free, although that doesn't mean that absolutely all are. richard

    My mistake for saying earlier that I would think most hot dogs in Canada would be gluten-free. Didn't realize they put wheat is some of their dogs. Of course, they also put wheat in their Lea & Perrins worcester sauce (or did, at least). richard
  21. lovegrov
    For those of us in the U.S., hot dogs are universally gluten-free. Not a single one that I know of has gluten. I'd bet it's the same or nearly so in Canada. richard

    I've never found an artificial flavoring with gluten. I'm not saying it can't ever happen, but I haven't seen it. richard
  23. lovegrov
    I have yet in many years of being gluten-free found spices that use wheat as an "anti-clumping agent." This is one of those that borders on being a celiac urban myth. richard

    Folks, recent research suggests that celiac disease is INDEED on the rise. There are simply more cases of it than there sued to be: "To determine when the prevalence of celiac disease started to increase, researchers at the Mayo Clinic analyzed blood samples stored from Air Force recruits taken in the early 1950's, and compared them with blood samples...

    I'd ask to just read the ingredients BUT, generally speaking, you're going to be safe if you stay away from stuff with cookies, cookie dough, or crispies in it. Pretty much the same rule as regular ice cream. If it's a treat named after a candy bar and that candy bar is gluten-free, I've always found the treat to be gluten-free. Frozen icee things like Bomb...
