Thank you all so very much! I deeply appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and good wishes on behalf of my family.

Lynne, I agree that there is power in numbers--and this is one determined group we have here ;)

Nini, Yes, they are definately planning to incorporate alternative/natural therapies along with whatever the doctors recommend. My sister has been consulting with her Kinesiologist.

Liz, You're so right about PE teachers--you are all very special :D

Marcia, Bev and Jestgar, thanks for your comforting words. I'm glad to hear that the people in your lives were able to successfully overcome this.

Ursula, I will never forget your generosity the other day.

Again, thanks to each and every one of you :)

I have just seen this thread. Of course I will keep positive thoughts and have already stopped and said a prayer. Elementary P. E. teachers are special people, and so are brothers-in-law! Prayers for him, your sister, and all the family. God bless!

Thank you, Jaten--I appreciate it :)

Laura, My sister is not taking this well at all. He is actually holding it together better.

What we're hoping for now is that the scans come out clear in terms of the cancer already spreading. If all clear, they will do surgery that will, hopefully, take care of it. Don't know yet about any additional treatment.

Just checked in and wanted you to know I was thinking of you, your BIL and family.

When you said that your sister wasn't taking it well and that your BIL was handling it better, I think that happens a lot because the family and friends think that there is nothing they can do to solve the problem. They can't cure the one they love. You have no control over the situation and that is really hard. :(

Hugs hugs hugs B

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
