You might check Facebook, too. There are probably some Celiac or "gluten free" groups that might have an idea.

ARCHIVED Schar gluten free cookies?
kareng replied to Annieoh's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Schar is a large international gluten free company. It is one of the first big all gluten-free companies. It is always possible to have a gluten mistake, but rather unlikely. They say that they test every batch for gluten. -
ARCHIVED Travel with toaster?

You can get single serve Jiff or Skippy at Target, etc. -
ARCHIVED Dying in pain cause by gluten
kareng replied to Crystal star's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If you won't eat gluten free, you won't heal your Celiac damage. It will get worse. If you really feel this bad, perhaps that will be enough to convince you to eat gluten free? -
ARCHIVED Travel with toaster?
kareng replied to C-rats's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
YOu could bring a toaster and bread. But I think bringing some nuts, crackers and PB ( careful as a carry on on plane), or protein bars wouldn be easier. -
Myalgia is not a diagnosis. It is just a fancy word for sore muscles..

Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix
kareng replied to BeckyW's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
. Ingredients & information from 10 years ago may have changed. IN the US and Canada, modified food starch is almost never made from wheat. the laws of both countries require that, if it is made from wheat, that it be specified. I have seen it , maybe two or three times. It was labeled either modified wheat starch or modified starch ( wheat). ... -
Thank you for responding to this 7 year old post. Looks like this is a good time to re- visit some of these Celiac myths/ concerns. here is a good article that addresses several ingredients that people frequently question. https://www.glutenfreeliving.com/gluten-free-foods/ingredients/top-10-ingredients-you-really-dont-need-to-worry-about/ ...

ARCHIVED Tortilla chips
kareng replied to Jherm21's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I eat them often. Mission makes sooooo many chips and sooooo many corn tortillas- they don't need to share equipment. -
ARCHIVED Positive blood tests, negative biopsy and IBD?
kareng replied to Carolina's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Wth a positive blood test of >100, it has to be celiac. It is possible there is something else too. But don't let him talk his way out of a Celiac diagnosis. -
ARCHIVED Positive blood tests, negative biopsy and IBD?
kareng replied to Carolina's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You haven't heard the biopsy result she yet? It's quite possible the doctor missed the sections of the small intestine - did they do an endoscopy or just a colonoscopy? I am assuming, from what you wrote, that she is extremely anemic? Maybe deficient in B12 and D also? Those are also indicators of Celiac. -
ARCHIVED Possible DH ...gluten free for 5 years!
kareng replied to Metoo's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I guess that it is possible that it could be DH...you aren't gluten free. Why did you decide to go "gluten light"? If you were actually diagnosed with Celiac," gluten light " is not good enough. -
ARCHIVED Hot Dogs
kareng replied to LilyR's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
IN the US, I have never seen any with gluten. I know that in Canada & the UK adding gluten is more common. -
ARCHIVED Coffee
kareng replied to WhimsiKay's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Probably any coffee bean in a package would be free of cc from gluten. Coffee isn't grown or harvested with wheat. A coffee "factory" would only make coffee. -

ARCHIVED Endoscopy deicphering
kareng replied to Bigchan's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
So your Celiac antibodies were negative? And a negative biopsy? Don't see that you had Celiac back then -
It can be different, based on what country you are in. Will she let you read the ingredients?

ARCHIVED Endoscopy deicphering
kareng replied to Bigchan's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
That isnt really enough for me to go on.... but ....being negative for Celiac years ago, you could have developed it now. But if you have been eating gluten free for all that time, than your Celiac disease should be " in remission". So, even if you have Celiac, your current issues may be from a different cause. -

ARCHIVED Californian pizza kitchen birthday reward
kareng replied to kareng's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
And it's not like I really need the dessert - I made 20+ dozen cupcakes on friday- so I can have some birthday cake. It's just the principle of the thing. Ennis- that sounds like what we used to do with extra pie crust when I was a kid! So yummy.- 6 replies

So I LOVE California Pizza Kitchen. Yes, they have a limited gluten-free pizza menu, but it is yummy and safe. I belong to the pizza dough rewards program. We have gotten $5 off here and there from it. For your birthday month ( October for me), they give you a " gift" - a free dessert. However, there are no gluten-free desserts. I pointed this...

ARCHIVED Scared of drinking contrast?
kareng replied to HaleyMoon's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
If it makes you feel any better - lots of people get gastric upset from contrast/ dye. It's just normal. the person who might know what is in the dye is the radiology tech. -
ARCHIVED Blurred Vision / Dizzy
kareng replied to KLTerry's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
So...you have celiac but have only been gluten-free or a month? Or you just decidead to try gluten-free and see what happened? If you don't have Celiac, you should probably see a doctor. gluten-free isn't the cure for everything. -
Lots of people do! You may have been eating gluten-free oats and not realized it. Some gluten-free crackers & cookies have oats in them
