    A tip I have learned when placing an order using the app is to use this name on my bowl instead of my actual name: Gluten Allergy

    I went to France about five years after my diagnosis and at that time found I was reacting a lot to food that made no mention of gluten in the ingredients, and my antibodies were raised after my visit as I had my annual review just after the trip. I felt that food labelling wasn't as reliable as the UK, and cross contamination a more marked problem...

    I would say the server was in the wrong in this case if it weren't for the guy clearly lying. He was drinking beer with gluten. The man needs shamed for lying about a serious disease.

    You're absolutely right to stand firm on this issue. The idea that introducing small amounts of gluten could "cure" celiac disease is completely false and dangerous. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition, not a food intolerance, and even tiny amounts of gluten can trigger damage to the small intestine. Research has shown that exposure to gluten, even...

    @trents I’ve done this many times over many years, and that has never been a problem. I think they fill & bag the items on a ticket before they move on to the next one so it’s not likely to be a problem. My bag has my name on it from my account. It’s just my bowl inside the bag that says Gluten Allergy.

    Interesting idea @cam6!

    @cam6, the problem I see with that is if multiple people call in an order around the same time using the name, "Gluten Allergy". You might get someone else's order.

    RobinGroenevelt and Scott Adams, Thank you for your comments but I think your responses don't address my question. I am curious about the extent of diet compliance in the large meta study and whether they did subgroup analysis by diet. This retrospective study found evidence of increased risk of cancer and other co-morbidities in their Celiac cohort...

    Recent research has shown that erythritol and xylitol likely increase the risk of cardiovascular events, due to causing platelet clumping, for higher risk people. This effect occurred when these sugar substitutes were used in concentrations commonly found in home made and commercially produced food products and may be a problem with other sugar alcohols as...

    Based on the vaccine injuries from mRNA vaccines during the COVID pandemic there is no way I would take this vaccine. Manipulation of genetic makeup? No way.

    I certainly hope this ingredient would be stated as "plantago powder" on food labels. The term "vegetable fiber" is absolutely too ambiguous to be allowable.

    Under the current administration the funding could be pulled, which would be really bad for something that sounds so promising. Hopefully other countries will pursue this research.

    I know, thanks, but I hate to start over again, he is my 2nd one who has tried to get me to eat gluten. I hate to find another one. He is referring me to an allergist- saying maybe it is something like the glyphosate? 🙄 Yes, I have allergies to food ( my mouth reacts ), but my GI reactions are most definitely in the Gluten Sensitivity or Celiac realm. Th...

    Even if the customer did have celiac disease, the way that they come across in this video is completely rude, and mean, which will make it harder for any subsequent celiacs who happen to visit this establishment in the future.

    This is not true. The part is missing where the guy claims he has Celiacs but he's drinking a beer, eats half a sandwich and fries and then tells the girl he has Celiac's Disease and is not going to pay. This is actually someone pretending to have our disease and using it to get out of paying for his food. If he has Celiac's pretty sure the waitress would...

    If you like soft serve ice cream, you can get it gluten free, by asking the server to put the dessert in a plastic cup instead.

    Unfortunately this can happen at ANY restaurant, especially McDonald's, thus the disclaimers in the article.

    If the arsenic in rice doesn’t bother you then Tinkyada is the best pasta I recommend. I’ve ate it from day 1 after researching what I could and could not eat, along with locating such foods when first Dg’d. Granted, if you close your eyes while munching on rice pasta you may very well come to reality that it is rice no matter the cuisine you have created with ...

    I live in France and recently assisted a colloquium on Celiac and there were two French experts (doctors) there. They said that with a good diet the risk of increased cancer is pretty much no different than non-celiac people, which was a big relief for me to hear. They were more concerned about bones and said that even that can be “normal” with a good die...

    In Europe I believe they also do not use the beef stock flavoring which contains hydrolyzed wheat in their French fry cooking oil.

    They do that in several countries in northern Europe as well, and they could do it here--I'm not sure why they don't.

    All McDonald's in Spain have safe gluten free options. They they have been certified, offer gluten free buns, and all fries are gluten free. https://mcdonalds.es/productos/sin-gluten

    Most inactive ingredients in toothpastes in the USA do not include gluten. If you have concerns I recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly, or find a toothpaste that has "gluten-free" on the label, for example: https://sprinjene.com

    Where we live, a pizza place, Marcos, has cauliflower crust pizzas. They only have 10 inch crusts. For my husband and me, that is large enough.

    Cristiana, it also needs to be said since test scales are not standardized in the laboratory world, comparing numbers from different test periods can be misleading unless the same labs were used each time.

      Inhaler problem

      By Iris Kraft · Posted

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      Inhaler problem

      By Ann13 · Posted

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
