    I have had it on two separate occasions with no reaction. The first time, I just took the bartender at her word. then I ready the controversy, but since I hadn't reacted the first time, I bought a six from my local liquor store. Drank 3 of them with no problem. So take it for the anectdotal single data point that it is, but I liked it a lot.

    I was diagnosed with Celiac coming up on 4 years ago I guess. Lately I have been having severe GI issues and fatigue (reminding me of the days before I was Celiac diagnosed). I had an endoscopy and my GI doc told me everything was good in going gluten free. This was confirmed by blood tests. I have been going crazy trying to find where gluten was leaking...

    Thanks for the info.

    Peter, would you feel safe getting grits at a restaurant? What questions should I ask to see if I should feel good about eating them? Thanks very much!

    Got a reply from Big Y saying they are gluten free. It was signed from a registered dietician and was unequivocal. (my search goes on)

    Does anyone know if the Big Y store brand sausages (labelled just Big Y Hot or Sweet) are gluten free? I looked over the ingredient list and did not see anything dangerous. However, I think I might be reacting to them. I have emailed the company but am not sure how long that will take. If no one knows, I will update the thread with the answer I get.

    Hi. Does anyone know if the Nestle Crunch Ice Cream Bars are gluten free? I know the Nestle Crunch bars are not, but I had convinced myself at some point that the Ice Cream bars are ok. But I have been symptomatic lately and am wondering if my nightly desert is getting me. Thanks!

    Jack Daniels is gluten free, so it might be something other than a gluten reaction.

    I haven't done it, but I have had the exact same thought process. I appreciate everyone being positive and focusing on what you can have, but I miss exactly the pizza crust you describe. Man.

    ARCHIVED Creeping Celiac

    ERR replied to ERR's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    No I probably need the lecture. For me, the question is, "just how sensitive am I?" I've been telling people for the past few years that I was one of the lucky ones who just has to avoid bread, or flour, but cross contamination is no big deal. I'm re-thinking that now. Vigilance.

    ARCHIVED Creeping Celiac

    ERR posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I got diagnosed three years ago. I went on a raw foods kick and felt great. But over the past few years I have gotten less and less conservative. I would eat a salad dressing without checking. Maybe eat a chicken breast with an unidentified marinade. Now I never got the GI symptoms of Celiac. But slowly, inch by inch, I regressed. Recently I realized...

    Definitely good advice.

    Thanks guys. I am meeting with the very smart doctor who first diagnosed my Celiac later this week. If he has insight I will bring it back. For right now I think I am going to stick to wine. Meh.

    To tell you the truth I don't know. I have never really paid much attention to the particulars of the bourbon I have been drinking. I searched the archives here and noticed that Jack Daniels is gluten free. So it would be easy enough just to stick to that (although I would miss my Woodford Reserve). Most recently I was drinking Jim Beam. Separate...

    As a Celiac who works in Social Security and Veterans Disability, this is true. That being said, Karl, you probably should talk to someone about your potential veterans benefits. Reading between the lines, it seems there might be more going on here and that some of it may qualify you for benefits. If I can offer advice to anyone on either SSDI or veterans...

    Hi All. I am a guy that got diagnosed with Celiac about 3 years ago. I went gluten free got tested and have never looked back. I have thought that I am not particularly sensitive as I have only glutened myself 4 or 5 times in 3 years. However, I have had a problem now for 6 months. I have been having what feels like a urinary tract infection (burning...

    Hi. An up-front disclosure that I work for this company, but I think the people who do the disability work are really great. And the website has a bunch of good information, so if anyone is interested in applying for Social Security Disability Insurance check out www.sscdisability.com. And if I can offer any personal guidance, I'm happy to do so. Just...

    Thank you Mindiloo. And thank you everyone.

    More specifically I am looking for scientific studies that show the link between Celiac and depression, fatigue and irritability. I have done the Google searches, but I imagine people in this community are very familiar with the existing literature and could perhaps point me in the right direction.

    I was diagnosed with Celiac a couple of weeks ago. I am now gluten free and feel like I am coming out of a fog that I have been in for years. For me Celiac led to depression, irritability and fatigue. Particularly for the last 5 years it has made me a lousy miserable tired person to be around. My wife, who I love more than anything has had a tough time...

    ARCHIVED My First Slip-up

    ERR replied to ERR's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Plastic utensils and cutting boards that had been through the dishwasher anyway since they had been in contact with gluten. Ditto the colander. Is there a guide to de-glutening a kitchen somewhere?

    I was diagnosed last week. Went Gluten free starting on Friday. Last night I was feeling pretty good. I celebrated by drinking some wine and cooking my wife dinner. A stir fry with rice pasta. Mostly used olive oil and gluten free soy suace, but I also, inexplicably, put in some jack daniels bbq sauce. Around 9:30 this morning it hit me. I felt so...

    Thank you. There is some dispassionate part of me that recognizes anger might be an easier thing to deal with than some of the other stuff that is going on. The truth is, I should have found the diag myself. But the important thing is to get healthy now. This seems a good place. I'm glad I found it. But, if I can ask, isn't amazing that they didn...

    It sounds to me like hypnogogic or hypnopompic hallucinations (as was mentioned up-thread). I've had them for years. I see animials, insects, or people when I wake up. Since I've had some practice I usually can control my reaction enough to avoid screaming. Although both my wife and my younger borther (from my childhood days of sharing a room) could tell...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac yesterday. Forgive me if this would be more appropriate elsewhere or if I in any way am not following board protocol. I'm having some trouble in getting past my anger at my former primary care physician. Three years ago I went to my PCP with symptoms including fatigue, chronic thirst, and, ultimately, peripheral neuropathy....
