    Thank you for this! "Medical" advice, and I use the term loosely, is so rampant and so unproven nowadays (I even have relatives that fall down these rabbit holes and are shocked I don't follow.), so I am skeptical of everything. I appreciate the confirmation of my suspicions that this was more hearsay. Onward with my rice and corn. lol

    So, it's been a while since I posted here and I've been doing fine with my diet. Haven't cheated, have gotten used to being gluten-free, and have even created a series of microwaveable, healthy, low cal dishes that take minutes to make because I don't cook and won't be starting to, ever. That said, many of those dishes incorporate rice and corn, not...

    I've found a few gluten free labeled coffees by searching on Amazon. I haven't decided if I want to go that route or not. I haven't been liking the taste of my regular coffee anyway, so I'm not against switching to a more specific brand and if I do, I'll probably try to find some labeled as gluten free. Coffee is one of those things I won't give up, honestly...

    Thank you! My mistake, I misunderstood. Thank you for the clarification!

    When it comes to a silent/asymptomatic celiac, what would be the recommendation for cross-reactivity? I can't go by symptom, obviously, and I don't think I have any issues with coffee, dairy, or chocolate, but now I'm paranoid. I'm strict about avoiding gluten but I do not want to give up coffee, it's one of few things I actually enjoy. As long as I don't...

    So, little update. I spoke to my hematologist and he isn't concerned. He said if my lymph nodes haven't changed hardly at all in seven months, then that tells him everything is probably okay. He said that I had a lot of work done in my abdominal area, so I should heal from the hysterectomy and talk to him again in a couple months if I have more...

    For me, the hysterectomy was technically elective, I'm childfree and wanted to keep it that way. It just so happens that when they went in to do the surgery, they found out the endometriosis was really bad, so in a way, being childfree and wanting to get sterilized was a saving grace for me. I seem to be healing extremely quickly though. I had the surgery...

    Wow. I knew vitamin training was limited in medical training, but I had no idea it was that limited. I'm honestly kind of surprised my endocrinologist is as versed in it as she is, but she's a really good doctor and I think she's gone above and beyond most MDs. It's just been a really long, hard year. Started out with the swollen lymph nodes in June...

    I am more leery toward eating gluten again, simply because I'm out of the habit now and I don't want to get back into it. I don't feel sick on gluten, but I finally stopped missing it and I'd like to keep it that way, which is why I really don't want to go back to it for the sake of tests. I'll have my dr. keep doing the routine blood tests though and continue...

    That's very good to know. It all tracks, really. I've already had thyroid cancer, and had a full thyroid removal last fall. I have just recently gotten my thyroid numbers normalized with proper medication. My diabetes is well managed, had it since I was three. As far a the hoshimoto's goes, I haven't noticed any symptoms from it since the thyroid removal...

    Thank you for this. It feels like once you've been diagnosed with celiac disease, the goal of half the articles out there is scaring you into thinking that even being gluten free isn't good enough and that you have to do all these crazy restrictive diets beyond gluten free. It's really unnerving when so much seems to be based off opinion rather than...

    Thanks, found of both of these types on Amazon, not a bad price actually, I was pleasantly surprised. You really can find anything online nowadays. Besides coffee, I eat tomato, avocado, dairy, and an occasional soda (pepsi, etc). (I also drink a lot of carbonated water but the kind without sugar or artificial flavorings, just fizzy water with fruit...

    I found this type on Amazon, is this okay? It's gluten free, appears to have everything needed in it.

    Also, from what I can see thru my research, there's really no harm in taking a DAO supplement, even if I don't necessarily need it, it's not going to hurt, so I'm going to look into that as well. As long as it's not going to cause something else, there's certainly no harm in trying it. 👍

    I have mentioned this to family, they haven't decided to get tested yet but they know about it. Nobody listens to me in my house. lol That's what the email said. I would confirm for yourself just in case, (I'm kinda OCD about that.), but that's what they told me anyway. I am interested in the DAO supplement because I am going to continue drinking...
