  1. Hello everyone, if anyone here has any information on the brand Spectrum and if they’re products are safe for celiacs, please share. My husband keeps wanting to purchase their oils but they have no label of being gluten free. I saw one website that does gluten testing say these oils are ‘likely gluten free.’ I tried looking on spectrum website and c...
  2. I can only speak for air travel and being the UK. i always pack my own snacks and meal to carry on. I haven’t had problems bringing my own but I have kept it limited. Bars and nuts are great for an extra snack or supplement of calories. i found it to be quite easy to eat in the UK! I traveled a few weeks and did become sick once and that was a risky c...
  3. Thank you for sharing this! Haven’t read it all yet but ive already jumped in and read a few parts. I plan to read more. It’s so true how much the world, US culture anyway, is obsessed with gluten… too bad it can’t just be potatoes. They’re very versatile.
  4. Just the last two days my stool has finally started bulking somewhat. It wasn’t complete liquid today so I’m taking that as healing progress! it’s been hard to go anywhere aside from my home and the house of the family I work for. I take care of their baby a couple days a week. I’ve needed to stay near a bathroom almost constant but that has been im...
  5. Hi there, It’s very common when being diagnosed for celiac as an adult to have silent symptoms. Even though we might have minor symptoms like fatigue, rashes, or digestive issues, it seems as though our bodies can mostly tolerate gluten. I always had my own health struggles growing up that had nothing to do with celiac disease, but I got diagnosed a...
  6. Some of us can be sensitive to NSAIDs. That can be entirely based on personal experience. My stomach isn’t strong enough to handle them, but I’m able to take them for single use needs. Most often they are gluten free, just ensure which ones you take are. Take them with food, even something as small as a banana will help your stomach. If after a few days or ...
  7. Hi all, i need to share the overwhelming emotions I have for living with celiac disease. I got very sick in end of May. My life took a few turns as I needed to quit my job at the time and it took about 8 weeks for me to mostly recover. I’m now back in community college as I’m not ready to work a full time job. I was doing better, finding some balance in ...
  8. I love stories of our main character struggling to be his own hero!! The island setting perks my interest and I like reading about overcoming struggle. I look forward to hearing more!
  9. Hi there, I understand your concerns as I too have felt similarly and struggled to find pain relievers. I’m from California and I don’t know the laws in UK. Honestly, the best thing I’ve found to help me are edibles with cbd, and if you’re comfortable with some thc, the one to one ratio helped me a lot when I broke a bone and when a few years back I had a...
  10. Thank you very much! This is very informative and I’ll go tomorrow to grab the vitamins. I had no idea thiamine was also connected with the gallbladder and helps to produce bile! and I’ll look into those other diets you’ve mentioned to see how I can improve on what I eat. thank you 🙏
  11. I’m eating a variety of vegetables and some fruits, but mostly bananas. I eat 2-4 bananas a day because they’re easy on my stomach and filling. I also eat basmati and brown rice. Nuts and seeds, coconut yogurt, and protein smoothies. ive been taking slippery elm capsules for reflux for a little over a week now. And I have been sucking on ginger chews for...
  12. I’m definitely 100% gluten free at home. I was so healthy in the last few years since being diagnosed. I was in my best health until having an ovarian cyst rupture, causing internal bleeding that has since healed. But I was glutened only a few days after the bleeding. I’m just assuming my immune system was weakened which caused this exposure to put...
  13. Hi Emily, sorry to hear about the insensitivity of your boss. Unfortunately, this is quite common for people like us with an autoimmune disease to be misunderstood, unless the other has an autoimmune disease themselves or knows someone personal. I think it’s a good choice to call the night before, as you had done, and give your boss a heads up on w...
  14. Hi everyone, my doctor doesn’t understand anything about celiac disease. 6 weeks ago I was glutened. I had a minor medical emergency that caused internal bleeding just a few days before the gluten exposure. My immune system was very weak so I got hit way hard by the gluten! im slowly recovering from the damage it caused to my intestine and g...
  15. I’ve been taking tums the last few days and it’s not helping enough with my heartburn and acidic tongue. My doctor ordered Omeprazole but the capsules have gelatin. I can’t have gelatin. i bought OTC Prilosec, name brand delayed Omeprazole and now I’m seeing a lot of people saying it’s not gluten free and some saying that it is. Is it gluten free or n...
