Have been back on gluten since Monday. Of course my symptoms are back now. Hoepfully I dont regret this decision either. Unfortunatly I was not crazy about the Dr that I saw. Im still...

ARCHIVED Test Results.. I Need Vitamins
lauradawn replied to SadiesMomma's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hey Heather, Im new to the gluten-free thing, but I have a supplement that I get from GNC. General Nutrition Center. Their web site is Lame Advertisement ........ I take the Womens Ultra Mega. It's just a daily vitamin. It has no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no preservatives, no sodium, no wheat, no gluten, no soy, no dairy, and no yeast... -
ya, the Dr's said that I needed to be on gluten for atleast 1 month before the biopsy. I can appreciate the reasons for not doing it. MY long term thinking, is as mentioned above from a couple people that there are some state aids, and tax benefits if proven celiac. I have 2 year old twins, that have had some food allergies since birth, and there is a...

Thanks so much for all the opinions. I went ahead and scheudled a biopsy. Unfortunately since I have been gluten-free they want me to wait 1 month. So well see. Any other comments about the biopsy would be helpful though. Im still learning as I go.

Just as a side note, I found a bread mix that is really really good. I am a newly diagnosed celiac disease and have not been experiementing much yet. However, in our Safeway and also our local health food store, there is a mix, called A wonderful gluten-free bread mix. It's about $4. It is so easy to make. I think it can be made in the bread maker, but...

She suggested talking to a manager when you go it, and explain the situation...

lauradawn posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Most of you may know this already, but I am a newly diagnosed celiac disease and am learning new things everyday. Thought I would share a couple things I am excited about. All Kraft foods are clearly marked if a hidden source is from gluten. For ex: mono and diglycerides ( from a gluten source). or something like that. Boyers coffee CLAIM all... -
I recently had all 3 blood tests showing antibodies for gluten intolerance. I tested strongly positive. It doesn't seem like there is alot of benefit to the biopsy other than to know 100%. To me it seems as though there are other ways to make sure. Like a gluten-free challenge. OR From my understanding those blood tests are pretty accurate. I have already...
