  1. McDonalds fries are indeed gluten free in Canada. They also have dedicated fryers in a different area so they don't make a mistake of putting the fries in the chicken nuggets oil. I have ate there quite a bit since I found out a few months ago. Its not so weird to order a meal with no bun either. They say it happens all the time. I know its a risk eating there if your sensitive but I have had no problems at all.

  2. I am from Canada and I was only diagnosed about a month and a half ago. When I first started looking I had trouble finding a single chip I could eat. I was checking mainly lays brands. Lays, Ruffles and Doritos. When I started checking a week or two later I found the same products without wheat listed. CC is still possible but I have been successfully eating Zesty Doritos, All Dressed Ruffles and Lays Ketchup with no problems. All 3 had wheat listed when I first checked. the Doritos now just doesn't say any wheat ingretients. Ketchup are listed Gluten free (or wheat free I forget which) and the All Dressed now say rice flour instead of wheat flour.

    I got a huge list of gluten free chips I will send you in a private message. If anyone else is interested I will post the whole list here.

  3. I think Metamucil is just the name brand of psyllium husk. I dont touch it because of the added stuff they put in it. I do use whole psyllium husk powder though. You can also get it in pill form but you have to take so many a day it gets really expensive for that convenience. psyllium husk dosent taste good at all straight up with water but I force myself since I dont get nearly enough fiber in my food since going gluten free.

  4. Compare the ingredients in both and see what is in common. Anything stand out?

    The most obvious culprit is gluten, since you are the lone gluten-free in your house and you haven't been symptomatic.

    A gluten reaction doesn't have to be from what you are eating at the moment. I will get stabbing stomach pain for days after a glutening - when I know what I'm currently eating is fine. For me, some foods just irritate my stomach more after a glutening, whereas if I ate them any other time it would be fine.

    Being symptomatic ain't what it's cracked up to be, I've found. Btw, gluten symptoms hit me at approximately 6 months gluten-free. I started with a bowling ball in my stomach and it progressed to headache/bowling ball/body aches to stabbing stomach pain and severe muscle cramps. So your thrills may just be starting. Good luck.

    I actually bought a box of frozen burgers. I am just going to buy ground beef and freeze burgers for now on. I will be sure to compare the ingredients if someone in the house happens to buy them again just to try to find out what it is.

    I figured I would have symptoms sooner or later. I read once you rid your body of gluten, once you take in a little bit you will start to feel it. I still dont know alot about all that since I never had to worry about it before. Looks like I will have to educate myself a little more. (haha I spelled educate wrong, thank you spell check..)

  5. No I dont,not from gluten. Actually, once I got a head rush ( like a high) when I bit into a Twizzlers . I did not realize until to late that the first (or second I dont remember) ingredient is wheat flour .But I do not feel ill instantly. For me , with gluten, it takes about 28 hours before I feel the effects .

    But if I ingest soy or corn I react instantly. You may want to look at other ingredients to evaluate if you possibly have another food intolerance .

    I will look into that. Thanks for your reply. Also I miss Twizzlers so much. I used to eat them all the time!

  6. Yes I did prepare and eat them at home. It could be CC since I am the only one that sticks to the gluten-free diet in my home. We do share the same pans and dishes. I was never really worried about it before since being glutened didnt effect me at all. I am always carefull to wash pans really good though.

    I handle fats just fine. I could eat anything at all with no problem whatsoever.

  7. I have been gluten free for 5 months now, im one of those that dosent feel any different after being glutened. This past week after eating a few burgers with gluten free bun of course I felt like I was going to throw up. I started dry heaving but couldnt throw up. About a week later I made some breakfast sausages and after one sausage it hit me right away. Again dry heaving but not throwing up. It lasts for about 5 minutes then I feel totally fine. Does this sound normal or could it have nothing to do with celiac disease at all?

  8. My Dietitian told me to get on Vitamin D3, Calcium and a Multivitamin. She never told me what amount. I was unaware of all the different amounts that were available at the time. Right now im taking 500mg of calcium and magnesium with 200 UI vid D. 2000 UI of D3 and 1 multivitamin.

    Would it be safe to bump up my D3 dosage to 5000 UI along with the 200 UI thats in the calcium and magnesium? Im also looking into Vitamin K2, any thoughts on if all this is safe or not?
