Any recommendations?

I am trying to start eating healthy and was told shaakeology shakes were good but they have wheat grass. Someone told me wheat grass is safe for me to eat because the gluten is in the pod, not the stem.

Nisin is a polycyclic antibacterial peptide produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis that is used as a food preservative. ... In the food industry, nisin is obtained from the culturing of L. lactis on natural substrates, such as milk or dextrose, and it is not chemically synthesized.

I called paneraathome and they told me the food made for retail sale is made in a different location and the labels are accurate. She assured me the clam chowder was gluten free.

I am the only one in my church with Celiac. Our communion wafer is the size of a quarter and is very thin. We have communion twice a month. How do I know how much gluten is in the wafer?

I am trying to bake and have used Pillsbury gluten free all purpose flour and then made my own flour mixture from the Great American Cookbook. No matter what I use it crumbles. It tastes okay but when you bite a cookie, it falls apart--same with banana bread. What are you all using?

While my iron and ferritin levels are now in the upper half of the normal range, vitamin b12 and folate have dropped. I was told to stop taking my iron supplement so the only thing I am taking is calcium and vitamin d. I feel I should be taking something else and not sure if a good multivitamin would work or a vitamin b12 pill and folate pill. Any suggestions...
-
The only supplements I was taking were 325 iron, calcium, 2,000 vit. D and 500 magnesium. Since my appointment on Wednesday, the iron and magnesium are stopped. I have not been prescribed a PPI or acid reducer. My husband has hemochromatosis so I am aware of that and do not have it. My labs are: I went gluten free June 1, 2017. The changes are from...

After going to my doctor yesterday, he felt the doctor who performed by endoscope was premature in diagnosing celiac. My iron levels went from 30 something to 147 in 3 months of being gluten free. At the same time, my B12, folate and liver enzymes went down dramatically. I am scheduled for a liver ultrasound Friday and more blood work on other minerals...

Thank you all. You have confirmed with what I thought and I feel better going to my doctor on Wednesday.
-
Well, since I don't have physical symptoms, only absorption issues, can I consume the occasional piece of pizza or dish of pasta without screwing up myself. I guess I am asking if I will harm myself if I eat gluten on occasion.
-
Yes, iron and ferritin went up significantly. Is it possible is set some gluten?
-
Quick back story:. I was diagnosed June 1 after having an endoscope looking for a stomach ulcer. It was totally by chance the celiac was discovered. My regular doctor prescribed the scope but did not do the test. Another doctor in the practice did it and told me I had celiac. I had my kids tested before they went back to college (both are negative) and...

Confused on test results
Deades replied to Deades's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
There was no blood test for celiac because he was looking for a stomach ulcer. Celiac was not even a thought at the time. I have always been anemic but my red blood cell count was also low. I am scheduled to see the doctor in midSeptember and will have my first blood test to check on iron levels prior to that visit. -
I did not have a blood test. Had the scope looking for a stomach ulcer. One doctor says I have celiac and another says no. What do you think? Here are the notes from my endoscopy: Mild chronic duodenitis with mild to moderate villus blunting compatible with changes related to celiac disease in the appropriate clinical and endoscopic setting....

Cake...
Deades replied to BlackShoesBlackSocks's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was given a recipe called gluten free crazy cake. It looks pretty good. It says it can be frozen. Ingredients are:. 3 cups gluten free flour (1 cup brown or white rice flour, 1 cup sorghum flour and 1 cup potato starch) 1 tsp xanthan gum 3 cups warm water 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup baking cocoa 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoon... -
I am so excited for my kids (ages 21 and 19). They had the blood test and it was negative for both. So happy for them. However, we know it may be dormant and can appear any time. Mine was dormant until last year.
-
Are these safe? The ingredients are:. Whole grain oats, sugar, canola oil, rice flour, honey, salt, brown sugar syrup, baking soda, soy lecithin, natural flavor. I am new at this, but nothing says no to me. Am I wrong?
-
Because I have celiac, my kids were tested today. I never had the blood test, went straight to the endoscope. Doctor was looking for something else and happened on a damaged small intestine. I have no physical symptoms and neither do my kids (ages 21 and 19). What am I looking for in the blood tests? Our doctor had them run the full celiac blood panel...
-
When I was diagnosed, I told both kids they will have to be tested. They don't know it will be happening sooner rather than later.

I am 7 weeks diagnosed with silent celiac. I am doing great and feel like I have a good handle on everything. What I am struggling with is my 21 year old son not understanding my diagnosis and the importance of avoiding cross contamination and why all of a sudden I can't have a Cookie, piece of cake, etc.. Since I don't have physical symptoms, he doesn...

I am only 7 weeks gluten free and it hasn't been that bad. I am a silent celiac so I may be glutening myself without knowing it. However, it hasn't been as bad as I thought. There are a lot of foods I can eat. When I have had to eat out, I bring my own salad. At home, whatever I prepare is gluten free. A friend of mine who had breast cancer a few years...
