Have alot of neck pain at the base of the skull? Right where your skull and spine meet? Mine has been killing me. Some days are far worse than others. I have alot of issues with Celiac Disease and even though I have been gluten-free for 4 months with maybe one or two accidental "glutenings", I am still having that pain in my neck and it feels like my glands under my jaw and arms are swollen from time to time. I just had Ct scans on chest, abdomen and pelvis and they were all good so I didn't know if maybe my immune system is causing the glands to be swollen? I don't have a cold and I have had tons of CBCs done. All my blood work was fine. :)

I had pain at the base of my skull for months before I was diagnosed and now only when accidently glutened. It was awful--like I'd been hit in the back of the head with a 2x4. It's actually one of the first things I feel the morning after I get a gluten reaction.

It was a while before it went away completely--hopefully as you are gluten-free longer and get the hang of the diet it'll subside

I also have diagnosed TMJ Disfunction (by ENT), and mine is always worse when glutened--has to be a tie-in there somewhere :D

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
