  1. I was old by my Dr. that my whole household including pets need to eat gluten free for those of us suffering from celiacs to "get better". It was a hunt to find grain free food that was truly indeed gluten free! We feed our dogs the kirkland signature grain free food, I'm not sure if they have a cat food though. Before we switched dog foods, my kids would...
  2. I know this topic is a little old but I thought I'd respond anyway! I have reacted to several red wines & I am very sensitive to cross contamination. In my research there are a few things I discovered about wine making. Some one already mentioned sealing the barrels with a wheat paste, but many wine barels were used before for grain based alcohols,...
  3. I recently had an unknown exposure to gluten & discovered it was indeed coming from my laundry! I had been experiencing afternoon headaches daily and my son (gluten free also) had developed a skin rash on his trunk & one leg. After ruling out food I set out trying to figure out what was going on. I called Costco inquiring about their laundry...
  4. I got to the point where I didn't know what to even try to eat cause of all the reactions I was having. The common thread I finally found for my issues was MSG. It hides everywhere and under names you'd never know unless you have done lots of research. Although this may not be your problem it could help if you eat only fresh foods and be sure you know...
  5. After I read this article I did some internet surfing and found that transglutaminase is used in far more applications than just "meat glue". Its used in dairy products, pasta products, dough enhancers, and many more. So my questions is there are so many celiacs that have other food intoloerances & issues, maybe they are reacting to the transglutaminase...
  6. I am an undiagnosed celiac along with sevre issues with fructose. I am starting to run & I would like to run longer distances, but I cannot use your typical supplements & endurance items as they contain sugar. The only sugar i can tolerate is dextrose which is pure glucose, I even stay away from most fruits & vegetables because of the ill effects...
  7. I have a 7th grader who has to take a Home ec class & they will start cooking next week. At first I thought I could just modify the recipes & my son could still cook, but I as I have thought about it more now I am worried about the cross-contamination that will occur with kids cooking, along with the airborne flour. My son also has horrible enviromental...
  8. First let me say that you are lucky to have such a proactive doctor! I have two sons both who have tested negative for celiacs, but both of us parents have it. They too have not been growing & gaining like they should so we have put our whole family on gluten free. My older son gets major anger/attitude along with stomach aches & constipation from...
  9. I have had problems with alcohol also. I find that if I drink Ciroc vodka (made from grapes) mixed with real orange juice or real cranberry juice I do just fine. I have a hard time finding it in bars but you can always smuggle your own stuff in. It sucks when you can't have a drink & everyone else is. You may have other food issues bothering...
  10. My son had a blood allergy test done and it came back with a reaction to the following: barley,cabbage,carrots,corn,navy beans, oranges,peanut,potato,rye,tomato,wheat. Our whole family has been on the gluten free diet so thats not a shocker to see those. My questions come in with the other items. Some are members of the nightshade family, some the apiacea...
