Does anyone know if we can use the Flexible Spending Account medical card to purchase gluten free food? If I can where would I shop online?

I read that the food is tax deductable if you have a dr's diagnosis...but I don't know about FSA's. You should ask the insurance adminstrator.

Hi TiffJake,

Don't want to change the subject at all. But just noticed your bio. Where and how did you get the Lame Advertisement test accomplished. Have a doctor who suggested it, but have been having a hard time finding someone who knows anything about it. Thanks!

Hey, I typed Lame Advertisement test and it came up something else. What's with that???

This forum automatically replaces certain strings of characters with others. So if you type "celiac disease" in a thread title, it will replace it with "Celiac Disease", as this will improve the search engine status on that keyword for the site. But if what you really meant was "Compact Disk", it's going to be a little hard to understand the new title.

So it also replaces certain character strings with the phrase "lame advertisement", such as certain service providers that tend to be a source of spam, even though the particular link may be legitimate. Probably something like that happened here.

I belong to another board that replaces certain less common character strings with animated smilies. So 'kat' is replaced with a bouncing cat, which makes it impossible to type several common female names.

      Scott, could you elaborate on hydrolyzed wheat? Does that remove or deactivate the gluten protein?

      McDonald's has a gluten-free bun, are you in Europe? They don't have that in the USA but I hope they are coming here soon. In the USA the fries are not considered gluten-free, even if they are made in a dedicated fryer, but many celiacs, including myself, have been eating them for years without issues. In Europe they don't have the same hydrolyzed wheat as an ingredient in their beef flavoring, like they do here in the USA. This is a controversial topic that I wanted to mention with you, but you can check the ingredients on the McDonald's website, as they can vary from country to country.

      Hi everyone I’m from Rhode Island and I know a lot of gluten free products we can’t find here yet but it’s a lot better then before I have cealiac I follow a gluten free diet. In our stores here there getting it . Ive found the brand Schar gluten free pizza two in a package plain made with sourdough actually not bad I put sauce and cheese and what ever toppings you like .For $9.99 it’s pretty good much better then the gluten free pizza at a pizza place ,which I might add I got gluten bad episode. Thanks  peace lily

      Benefits are national but different Drs and health trusts interpret them differently unfortunately. Those diagnosed are supposed to get an annual review, Dexa scans every 2/3 years (one on diagnosis) , annual blood tests to check for vit deficiency etc. But very few seem to get these !    Advice from gastroenterologist:   I suggest monitor if she is asymptomatic, Unfortunately I can not see gastroscopy report, i hope biopsies were taken from D2 and D1. She may also try Gluten free diet for 4-6 weeks and recheck TTG to see if normalise. /—   I know 4 biopsies were taken from D2 in 2021.  I have contacted my private health care provider requesting a referral to gastroenterologist. I’m fed up being monitored! Also worried that if I do have celiac disease I’m damaging my gut and raising risk of cancers which freaks me out !

      I had a couple of friends who after a course of antibiotics were struggling to eat much. The anti biotucs can kill off alit of your gut bacteria and it took quite some time to build these up again but after a year or so they could eat normally again.
