Hi, I'm Amy. Nice to meet you! :)

Our story is long and convoluted and painful, but sadly typical, so I'll spare you the details ;) .

The short version is that I have celiac disease and at least 3 of our 4 sons have it, too. I think the fourth would have been diagnosed later if he'd continued on a regular diet. The older two showed no symptoms until they were over 6 years old, and the blood tests were the same for all.

We all eat gluten-free, even DH does at home. We've been gluten-free for about a year. I try really hard to put the tough stuff behind us and just be happy! The boys are doing really well now but we had some very hard times.

I'll admit the costs of gluten-free food are killing us! And I've accidentally glutened us all twice in the past month, after being successful for a really long time :rolleyes: .

Anyway I'm sure I'll tell more of our story as time goes by, I look forward to meeting you all!

Hey Any:

Welcome, but won't spend too much time on that. Carriefaith, on this site has some wonderful gluten free recipies and they go on forever, many, many good things that are easy and good. Do a search on "recipies".

I haven't been feeling too well this week, so I will pass on to others.

Glad you found us, You will never meet a more informed, comforting place than here.

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By Peggy M · Posted

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
