    They should be. If you see Dad's Root Beer Barrels they are gluten free. https://nuts.com/gluten-free/chocolatessweets/hard-candy/root-beer/

    My fear as well.. I've had several friends in rehab centers within nursing homes and talked to the nurses there and they had no clue what would be gluten free or not on their menu. My last stay in the hospital after they brought me several meals with gluten containing bread, gravy, toast crumbs on the eggs. My doctor told them I would only be eating things...

    Unfortunately the Department of Defense has guidelines that don't allow people with Celiac Disease to join the military.. However, since you were diagnosed while already in they probably won't send you home. But... who knows depends on your commanding officer I guess. Here is an article for you https://www.glutenfreeliving.com/gluten-free...

    Good doctor I had a similar experience but opposite. My lab tests were negative (we figure now that I was too sick to eat much at the time) and my biopsy they were not able to get in far enough they said... so with symptoms and the appearance of my small intestine along with genetic testing I was diagnosed with Celiac. Gluten free for almost 8 yrs now...

    I have not tried it but there are a lot of good reviews on it when you google it. Is the size the same for $6.50 vs $10? If it is then I'd try it.. will have to look in my local stores for it.

    Same here I have them every time I have a colonoscopy. Don't worry. If there is a reason to worry they would call you when they get the biopsies back. No news is good news!!

    I tested postive for both as well. My other blood tests were negative and done first but at the time I was very sick and living on cottage cheese and jello so I was not consuming gluten at all. My biopsy was positive. The GI was willing to diagnose me based on the hla-dq2 and hla-dq8 but already had the biopsy /colonoscopy planned for the second...

    Now that you have a diagnosis it may seem overwhelming but things will get better. A strict gluten free diet is the only treatment for Celiac. Start with whole foods.. fruit, vegetables, meat and rice. You can season your food with spices (make sure they are gluten free) for flavor. I started feeling better in 3-4 days and it got better from...

    I had the gene test because I was too sick to eat at the time and the GI said that there are only two things that can make your insides look like that (ground meat) and one is cancer which he biopsied already and the other is Celiac. My tests were positive for the genes. I've been told that someone with a negative gene test will never be diagnosed with...

    Welcome to the forum. While in the beginning this is all quite overwhelming in time once she is diagnosed you will find that changing recipes gets easier with each passing day. As for your Lasagna... there are many very good gluten free lasagna noodles out there . I prefer Tinkyada brand for that and my family of grown children and a grand child can...

    I make my old recipes all the time. The only thing you have to be sure of is if your flour mix has xanthan gum or not. If it doesn't then you will need to add a bit per cup. Don't use too much or it will get gummy or spongy (it's powerful stuff!!!) Xanthan gum (or guar gum) is used in gluten-free baking because it is a binding agent that gives...

    Failure to comply with a strict gluten free diet with a diagnosis of Celiac disease can cause many other issues. Digestive, deterioration of the stomach and intestines and could lead to cancer. Other symptoms could arise neurological , psychological, skin conditions.etc... Do some research on the effects of untreated Celiac disease and you may change...

    I've noticed over the years that my reactions are not as severe either.. but I try not to consume
  14. Judy3
    I highly doubt that the diagnosis will changed based on the blood work. They've already diagnosed with biopsy which is the 'gold standard'. My blood work was negative as I was too sick to eat much but my genetic testing and the endo biopsy proved Celiac. Gluten free 7 yrs here.

    Beau's lines can be caused by malnutrition and malnutrition can be caused by Celiac. Nails grow very slowly so it could take some time for them to go away if they do. Maybe see a dermatologist if you haven't already Also do a search on this site, or on Google and it will bring you back here. There are a lot of old topics about this From...

    Look for sweet rice flour with the asian products or visit an asian food store. The combination of flours needed to make an 'all purpose' flour is a science. You need to get each type right or it won't work. I use white rice flour, sweet rice flour, sorghum flour and tapioca flour to create mine, Sweet rice flour is also called glutenous rice flour ...

    Judy3 replied to jenarella's topic in Doctors

    OMG I felt like you were talking about me in your post. I had one lesion back about 4 yrs ago after an MRI for severe sudden headaches. The doctor told me it was from smoking (lol yeah right) I've had the aura's without the headaches too and they've gone away now that I think of it since going gluten free as have the headaches.. hmmmm I have had digestive...

    Bad girl last night for supper... LOL Not gluten wise but FAT wise... I made buttermilk biscuits from my flour mix and sausage gravy.. OMG I haven't had biscuits and gravy for a year!!! It was fabulous... put that to the 'once in a while list' LOL Note: White Rice flour works very well for gravy!!

    I bet I'm too late for dinner huh? Wow that sounds good!!

    I got my brand new waffle baker in the mail today so I made homemade gluten free waffles with my new flour mix I made up and they were wonderful!!! my non gluten free son loved them too. I will never buy frozen cardboard again!!! Sorry Van's but I only speak the truth LOL

    I've been making my own salad dressings and this one is so simple I had to share. Honey Mustard Dressing In a small glass bowl a squeeze of honey (approx 2 tsp?) a squeeze of dijon mustard (approx 2 tsp) a glug of olive oil (approx 2 tbsp) Mix with a small wire whisk a few seconds until it thickens... Enjoy!! Sorry for the squeeze and...
