    I once heard a celiac doctor in the Atlanta area (Cynthia Rudert) who generally put her new patients on probiotics because bacterial overgrowth is frequently found with untreated celiac. It can also be difficult to detect and diagnose (sound familiar?). According to her, the probiotics can't hurt and might help. This was 10 years ago. Can't say if she's changed...

    You're overreacting, although there is a lot of gluten. Gumbo is probably out, although you can ask. There is a version thickened with file. Jambalaya made the right way will not have gluten or roux. Some restaurants fry with cornmeal only. And you can always get steamed, broiled or boiled (pronounced "berled") seafood. N.O. also has large numbers of fine...

    Wendy's fries are gluten-free but their fryers are not always dedicated. You have to ask. richard

    I dn't understand what the concern would be. richard

    This "test" was inn the U.S., hence my comment. In the U.S. worchestershire sauces are generally gluten-free. richard

    The formulation definitely changed between the two posts. richard

    I suffered from DH for years but after gong gluten-free iodine never affected me in the least. It all depends on the person. richard

    My liver enzymes were high and because I did drink too much at the time, one doctor immediately decided I had destroyed my liver drinking. Except it immediately started getting better with IVs. You most definitely should be concerned abut that cholesterol number. That's really, really high and I doubt that's attributable to celiac. In fact, my cholesterol...

    Vomiting within three hours. Panicky and light headed. richard

    Hmmm, all of the Worchestershire sauce I've seen in the U.S. has been gluten-free, so I'm not certain I would have identified it as the item that might have contained gluten. richard

    The fries are ALWAYS cooked separately. richard

    Relax. Not a problem. And even if you eliminated it from your yard, how would you avoid it in other yards or in parks? richard

    Obviously this anecdotal, but when I was diagnosed with celiac, they also noted that I had diverticulosis (I had a colonoscopy as they were trying to figure out what was wrong). A year or so later I had one episode of diverticulitis. Ten years later my next colonoscopy showed no diverticulosis. richard

    Vaccination conspiracy folks won't believe it no matter how many studies you do.

    Kraft makes so many things under so many names I'd be stunned if you haven't bought something made by them without even knowing it. richard

    If the soy sauce doesn't have wheat in the ingredients, it should be gluten-free. richard

    I'd be looking for other causes for the problems you're describing. These are NOT common celiac symptoms. richard

    After reading the thread on delphi, it's apparent that Kraft hasn't changed it's policy one bit. I'll still be buying with confidence from them. richard

    From the article: "Facebook buddy Brad Douglas says his wife explains her gluten-free need to the staffer "and then says 'If I eat it, I will die.'" Bad idea, IMO. If I owned the place, I would simply say, "I'm terribly sorry, but if it's that bad, please don't eat here." Or I'd hand her a washed apple. Of course if owned the place I'd know what's gluten...

    From the BK website, they would appear to be gluten-free: Sweet Potato Fries (Fried): Sweet Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Contains One Or More Of The Following Oils: Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed, Sunflower, Corn), Food Starch- Modified, Rice Flour, Dextrin, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Natural Flavor, Xanthan Gum, Color (Beta Carotene...

    Virtually any of the finer restaurants in the French Quarter will have a chef who knows about gluten, although NO cuisine is rife with gluten. It's expensive, but I'd consider Commander's Palace, which is a streetcar ride up St. Charles to the Garden District (or take your car if you have one). Delicious and they know about special diets. The Acme Oyster...

    The 5 Guys that used to be in our area (closed) did about as good a job as a place like that could. The manager heard my request and took over making the burger, making sure to change gloves and to put down fresh foil in a cleaned off spot. I still like the LC Thickburger best, but probably more chance of contamination. However, in the couple dozen times...

    Absolutely explain to your child. If she had known, she still might have eaten it, but OTOH, at that age she might have stuck her chin out and said "My mommy says I'll get sick if I eat that." richard

    I know that since 2006 a few deli meats that used to have gluten have been changed. I think deli meat is just one of those things, like hot dogs and sausages, that folks simply assume might have some sort of wheat filler even though that's rarely or never the case. richard

    I've never seen the use in a medical alert bracelet for JUST celiac. For one thing, just about anything they're going to put in you in an emergency is going to be gluten-free because IVs and injectables are universally gluten-free. And in a life-threatening emergency, I want them doing anything that might save me, even if that means stuffing bread down my...
