My daughter 15 months old and just recently diagnosed with celiac's even though it would apear that's she's had it from birth because we had problems from the beginning and hospitalizations from a month old. I can't afford the foods or all the tracts up the Birmingham to see her doctor without going back to work. Yet I can't put Sage in day care besides worrying about her Celiac's she has meds she has to take. Vitamin, Zantec, gas drops. I'd be afraid of her not getting one of her meds and being in pain. So, I went and signed her up for disabilty which will allow me to work 25 hours only (during those breif times, my mom can watch her) and have money from disability to get her foods and needs meet. What I'd like to know is has anyone else tried this? How'd it go? Thanks So Much, Becca

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      What canned tomato sauce is gluten free? I use Hunts diced tomatoes, because they're labeled gluten-free, but none of their other products are labeled. Similar situation with some other brands. How about ricotta? Is that generally safe? Can I just get the store brand? Or do I need to look for a gluten-free label? Thanks for any help.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      By trents · Posted

      BadHobit, did you know that 40% of the general population has one or more of the genes that have been associated with the development of celiac disease? But only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, the gene test can legitimately be used to rule out celiac disease but not to confirm it.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      By BadHobit · Posted

      An entirely different infection caused the sore throat. My doctor said, "When you suddenly switch from a gluten-free diet to gluten, your immune system weakens." I got better with medication. Once I recovered, I experimented with wheat-free but gluten-contaminated foods such as oats. Within a week, watery blisters appeared on my skin again. So I gave up gluten for good. And hello, I gained weight, and I'm not skinny anymore (in fact, I was a person who lost weight by eating pizza and hamburgers!). My skin, stomach, and intestines are happy. I just think they can find out if I have celiac disease—and I'm ninety percent sure about the gluten part—with a diagnostic gene test. However, I prefer not to visit the hospital due to my excellent health. I'll keep you posted when I have that gene test done and receive the results. Thanks a bunch for your help!

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Histamine itself does not have a taste. The salty taste associated with tears or mucus comes from their electrolyte content, not from histamine. While histamine can be part of various immune responses, its connection to gluten reactions is not direct, and it does not taste salty. The salty taste of tears and mucus is due to their sodium chloride content, not histamine.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Matt13, Your symptoms sound similar to the ones I had.  I had developed nutritional deficiencies, in particular, thiamine deficiency.  Gastrointestinal BeriBeri has all those symptoms and the fatigue was horrible.   Quick field test from WHO:  can you rise unaided from a squat?   If you have a serious thiamine deficiency, you cannot stand back up after squatting.  Really cool test.  Read for yourself the article below, compare the symptoms, discuss with your doctors.  Doctors can administer high dose thiamine via IV and you will improve very quickly.  I had improvement within an hour.  No harm in trying, process of elimination and all that. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Are you aware regular Ensure Plus contains dairy?  Are you aware Plant Protein Ensure Plus contains oats?  Just checking.   Have you tried the AutoImmune Protocol diet?  Highly recommend.   Check out my blog to read excerpts of my journey and my clueless doctors. Keep us posted on your progress!
