Safe Gluten-Free Spices and Brands: A Celiac Disease Guide
Beverage commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Morton & Bassett spices are labeled gluten free. I've been using them for years, no problems. I order direct from them as the selection at my grocery is very limited. They have a newsletter with regular discounts and specials: https://mortonbassett.com/ Spicely another good gluten free brand, CERTIFIED gluten-free, but not widely available where...- 1 comment

I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting...

Tums is an antacid. Calcium (also vitamin D) need it acidic for absorption, so you're not really getting any calcium benefit. Try DGL, it coats rather than counteracts acid. You need acid anyway to digest and get those vitamins. It's usually not too much acid that causes heartburn, it's not enough acid which causes food to rot and ferment in the stomach...

I'd like to suggest nuts.com. They have a gluten-free section. I've never had an issue and their nuts are super fresh tasting. I eat them every day as afternoon snack. They label the packages as gluten-free, and more and more as Certified gluten-free. Here's their statement on gluten free: Gluten-Free The FDA is the only regulatory agency...

My D was always low. It got better with gluten free diet, but was always below range or barely in range. I tried increasing D vitamins, found that K2 helps absorption of D. It improved a bit, yet remained on low end of ok range. After covid and bad flu years, i really wanted to get my D way up. We live in the Pacific Northwest, do lots outside 3/4 of...

Beverage replied to Newhere19's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I got an official diagnosis from a naturopathic doctor, based on: 1. Very high blood antibodies 2.dna test and 3. Response to gluten free diet. I'm in the United States and have had absolutely no push back ever. My step granddaughter received an official diagnosis from an MD based on high antibodies blood test only. She's also in the U.S. and was told... -
Antibodies went up
Beverage replied to Barcino's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Sounds like you're very careful with food. Any possible airborne or non-eating exposures? One time I got really sick from feeding my neighbor's chickens, the feed would get kicked up and I'd inhale the dust, read the ingredients, yup gluten. Another time we were doing some home remodeling, removed some old plaster, probably gluten in that. Anything... -
Oh gosh. I remember being shocked when my new doc said he thought I had Celiacs (went in bcuz kidneys were failing, no intestinal issues), but relieved at first to find an explanation for my issues. Then as I hit the library and the internet and read up on Celiacs, I got sooooo depressed and overwhelmed. Funny you say "is it an italian thing?" ... I'm not...

As Scott suggests, look into dermatitis herpetiformis. Also the rash there could be from SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or candida. If your regular doc won't investigate those possibilities, consider going to a naturopathic doc or integrative medicine doc.

The forms of vitamins really mattered for me, maybe not for everyone but very much for me. Learned so much here. This b12, recommended by @Ennis-TX has really helped me since diagnose. I can tell when i run out that i don't feel as good. LIQUIDHEALTH Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin Liquid Drops with Sublingual Hydroxocobalamin - Boost Energy, Support...

Severe joint swelling from Celiac
Beverage replied to Jean Shifrin's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I also did not have the so-called typical Celiac symptoms, my main complaint was always getting sick, asthma, loss of sense of smell, and kidneys were failing. My GFR was in 40's - 50's and docs saying "Kidneys don't get better, we can only slow the decline" also "We don't do anything for kidneys until you are ready for dialysis." I was blown away, so decided...

I've been using eos lip balms. I usually get it at costco. Eos has little round balms, but also stick ones like chap stick. Costco has both. They are labeled gluten free when you buy individual balms, but the combo package from costco isn't always labeled gluten-free. The company web site says they are gluten-free. I'm pretty sensitive, I use the...

Last time i checked, Burts Bees does not label anything gluten free. They had 1 lip balm that contained gluten, and their site said their products can be made on shared equipment.

Some docs in the US are diagnosing without the endoscopy. My step granddaughter (age 19) and I were both diagnosed by different docs based on blood test, DNA test, and response to gluten free diet. If you haven't already had the Celiacs blood tests done, you would have to eat gluten again for many weeks prior. I do have a letter from my doc saying i...

I feel like I'm a conundrum....
Beverage replied to zebra1975's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't get typical intestinal symptoms when glutened. I feel fine for weeks trying something new, then bam I feel like I've been hit by a truck, joint and bone aches, can't think straight, no energy, etc. I tried gluten free Oreos and it took eating a few a day over at least a month until the bag was almost gone, then wham.
