    IN the US, the labs will run whatever the doctor orders. So the doctor won't order The T3/4 tests unless he or she doesn't like the TSH results.

    I have to say I agree with this. I think this poster might have a lot of other problems and Celiac is just the one he or she is focusing on.

    You don't have to worry if all your products are gluten-free. You only need to worry about what might be swallowed - like lip. Or maybe shampoo.

    You likely had multiple exposures to cause your antibodies to rise to a level that they were in the blood in high enough levels to find. As well as the fact that they can continue to rise after exposure for a week or so.

    Antibodies don't necessarily raise enough to show on a blood test from 1 or 2 random glutenings. It usually needs a continuous exposure. http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/if-i-accidentally-ingest-gluten-will-it-show-up-in-a-blood-test/ "...accidental exposure will not show up in a blood test. Repeated exposure elevates antibodies in the blood...

    There are no medications currently on the market that "digest" gluten. This just a paid advertisement. http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/do-supplements-like-glutenease-offer-protection-against-accidentally-eating-gluten/ "We put no validity in these supplements. In fact, they may offer a false sense of protection when they provide...

    We use it often. I don't have an issue with it. But it usually has con and rice - so maybe you can't have corn?

    I have used the lemonade and maybe the Koolaide. I really don't see this company would lie about ingredients. They could get in very BIG trouble. I don't think it is at all likely that this is the type of product to be run on shared lines or accidentally CC'd by an ingredient. It probably has artificial flavors or colors that some people, Celiac...

    Did they biopsy the rash to get a DH diagnosis? If not, you may not have DH and Celiac. It, if you have DH - you have Celiac. Please read the links below from The Celiac Center - http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/is-there-a-treatment-for-dermatitis-herpetiformis-dh/ http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/can-a-skin-biopsy-for-dermatitis-herpetiformis...

    I have never tried the frozen rice things - I would think those would be the most likely to have cc. I use any brand of plain frozen veggies. there is no way to get fresh peas or corn, etc most of the year, so frozen are a good choice.

    I am confused..... I was asking the op why they are a vegetarian. If it's not a religious reason, He or she might need to make a different choice if they need to get enough nutrition.
  12. kareng
    You may have said why you don't eat meat or fish but .... maybe to be healthy you will need to add some into your diet? If you restrict yourself severely, you won't get the nutrients you need.

    Reacting to oats is not a " cross- reactivity". It appears that a few, maybe 8% ( can't remember the exact number) have a version of Celiac that reacts to oats. Cross- reactivity is the nonsense that a body sees coffee as gluten.

    Good posts, Notme! Lol I have a lunch tote, frozen container, etc collection. Anytime they are featured on Good Morning America at "half price/ free shipping".... I had to remove some from the freezer to put left- over turkey and bread from Thaksgiving! Ugh... I brought a very pretty and delicious salad to a funeral. I put the green stuff...

    I don't think either of those are actual " doctors". Unfortunately, in the US, you can call yourself doctor and there is little regulation. They might have good info..... but I would want to get some more scientific/ medical info to support it.
  16. kareng
    Maybe I am not making myself clear - you say than you actually have a diagnosis of Celiac disease, yet you choose not to treat it? You look for other things to be wrong with you. Great....maybe other things are wrong with you. But shouldn't you take care of the one you know you have and can treat- Celiac? Maybe if you actually healed from the Celiac...

    Even tho this is going off the topic the OP wrote about, I feel I must say something here. Posterboy - you seem to like to "research" on the internet. Certainly you have read about Celiac disease. Even the most basic reading will tell you that you always have Celiac and must always eat gluten free. It will tell you that there are more than just GI...

    I have heard that parts of Spain can be very easy to manage with Celiac. But you learn Spanish with a weird accent..... lol

    Maybe they are careful because its your friend? Or you were watching? I have heard some Dominos are better than other at gluten-free. Do they use fresh, non- contaminated cheese, sauce, toppings? I worked in a pizza place and usually you touch the dough, then use a ladle for sauce that usually touches the pizza to spread the sauce and then use the same...

    It is suggested to cut out dairy because lactose is hard to digest. With most lactose intolerance, you may find you don't have to avoid all dairy. You may be able to tolerate a small amount or some dairy items that have little to no lactose. Check "lactose intolerance" on the internet. For the salad dressings - maybe google "lactose free ranch...

    I didn't know they made gluten-free waffles. Why not ask the company what they do to make sure they are gluten-free - testing? Segregated manufacturing, etc. when you find out, please come back and post the answers. there seems to be some odd labeling law, or maybe it's some companies interpretation - but they aren't supposed to add extra...

    They are big on selling books -. They try to spam a lot forums and FB groups. why can't you eat nuts, nut flours, quinoa, hummus and beans? I think I missed that. Those are a good source of protein. If you can't digest lactose look for a lactose free cheese - like one made from yogurt. at first,I thought life was over. But with a few years of...

    I would use it. The amount of cc of 1 ingredient that is 1% of the total product, its starts to get a bit silly. Now, I wouldn't put it in my mouth, but its not a product that goes in your mouth.
  24. kareng
    Sorry. I don't have the time to link to the study. It was posted here. They did a review of about 800 medicines and only about 10-15 actually had any gluten in them. So it likely gluten-free. There should be an insert sheet so you could read ingredients. You could call or email the manufacturer. If you get a statement like " no gluten ingredients but...

    That is a good question! How can they be gluten-free if they contain wheat? You might want to email them and report back here.
