Thanks so much! ;)

Two different ways of saying the same thing.

1- Celiac, 2- Celiac Sprue, 3-Sprue are synonymous. Well, there are a couple of types of sprue I think, but .....

My GI diagnosed me with "Celiac Sprue" and stamped "Celiac Sprue" in huge letters across my medical chart; however, in conversation he most often refers to it as Sprue. He once told me why he uses the term Sprue vs Celiac, but that was during the "this is the diagnosis" conversation when I was so way overwhelmed by what he was telling me, so that particular tidbit is now lost to me. (I'll ask him sometime when I think about it.)

LATER....

Interestingly I just received a Google Alert for the following article. According to this, the reference to Celiac simply as Sprue is an "old term." Funny, my dr. is not old, and he had a specific rationale.

It's an interesting article.

      Diabetic 2

      By trents · Posted

      There is no established connection between type 2 diabetes and celiac disease. There is a connection with type 1, however, as about 6% of those with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease. This rate is 6x that of the celiac rate found in the general population. https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/related-conditions/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/

      Chicken Thighs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.

      Chicken Thighs

      By BeeBarnard · Posted

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken is not, but skinless is. Does this seem accurate? Thank you
