Is there any cream or laser treatment that will get rid of DH rash marks? -
Sorry to hear. As I stated earlier. I won't eat anything with oats or soy. I get worse rashes (DH) now when gluten and leaves a permanent mark. They were minor, but since going gluten-free they got worse. So I rarely take any chances being glutened.

I've never heard of avenin. Does it damage the villi?
-
Dah. Nothing was working right for me except vision and hearing until I was diagnosed and off gluten.

I thought I read somewhere here about celiacs needing an extra Hepatitis B vaccine. Because the celiac autoimmune response can suppress its effectiveness. Any word if this is the case with the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19?
-
I don't eat anything with oats or soy/soybeans. Farmers sometimes plant wheat, then harvest it, and plant oats or soybeans in the same spot. This 'could' contaminate oats or soybean. In addition, I think food producers handle wheat, oats and soybeans in the same facility and could cause cross contamination. I'll probably never eat oats or soybean...

Has any got any info on the COVID vaccine from the government and it's affect to being glutened and the bodies autoimmune response? I have a message to my GI doctor's office but only hear crickets.

Pains/cramping in the gut 'can' cause back pain. It did for me.

Gas X by GSK (glaskosmithkline)
sddave replied to sddave's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I did call the number on the box. GSK did buy the Novartis Gas X brand. I was given the same typical response. We don't use any wheat, rye, or barley. But since we don't do testing we can't guarantee other companies ingredients we use in the product could contain gluten. -
So my doc. recommended me to take Gas X. And of course I constantly read conflicting reports if it contains gluten here and on the internet. Whether they are chewables or gel caps form. I've read that 'Gas X' gel caps by Novartis are gluten free. But on store shelves I only see 'Gas X' gel caps by GSK (glaskosmithkline). Maybe GSK bought Novartis...

I found this if your into learning gluten-free Italian cooking on your vacation. https://getaway.jovialfoods.com/gluten-free-italian-style/

thx.

Not a celiac retreat. But might be something I will do! Thanks for this. I spent a day for work in Prague. Went to Mustek area for dinner....not diagnosed at the time. Cool area to visit. Ya, you might see me there.
-
Me too. Especially also for a single person like myself and who rarely cooked before diagnosed. I think it would be very useful and probably save the insurance companies a lot of money in the long run by reducing the doctors visits, urgent care stops, and medicines they prescribed.

Which dairy free kefir product do you take? Something like KeVita? If so, which one.
-
I was wonder if anyone knows of any retreats for struggling celiac's? A place to get away and get to help with diet, anxiety, etc. done by professionals.
-
Thanks so much. I had blood work done a couple of days ago and everything is normal. I'm occasionally take a mag. powered another member suggested. Maybe I should it every day. I was only taking it when I woke up at night. I'm taking a 5 strain CVS brand probiotic. I will see about adding dairy free kefir and try to eat more whole foods.
-
Is that true? I'm 7 months diagnosed and used to take very few prescriptions. I think I got cross contamination a few months ago and my gut hasn't been well since. It has caused me lack of sleep, anxiety, and increasingly more severe stomach pain. Now I'm on three prescriptions from cramping, sleep, and anxiety. Bentyl (cramping), trazodone ...

What prescription drugs hidden ingredients do you look for that contain gluten?

My doc gave me some Xanax which puts me sleep but because it's addictive didn't give me many. After a month I stop taking it I started waking up sometimes sweating and because of previous pins and needles I was getting has me start taking generic Zoloft due to anxiety...he says. Had a bunch of blood tests and every is ok. Thought something else might...

Thanks I'll check it out.

Been about 5 1/2 months since diagnosis. For the last few weeks I've been waking up around 2 or 3am from a dream and can't get back to sleep. Anyone had luck beating insomnia? And what did you do to beat it. Doing yoga didn't help. I have a tweeked back and can't run.

Gluten test for alcoholic beverages?
sddave replied to sddave's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Your clueless. Duck Food spent a lot to prove their beer certificated gluten free. Extensive — like lots and lots of — testing shows that this enzyme reduces the gluten content in beer to undetectable amounts (0-5 ppm) and the FDA considers a food gluten-free if it falls below 20 ppm And he added the enzyme to non gluten-free bee... -
Gluten test for alcoholic beverages?
sddave replied to sddave's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My friend said he has seen his friend put a drop or two in beers at bars. But doesn't remember what he does after adding it to beer (like steering) but said he drank it almost immediately. I would call White Labs in San Diego if your interested. His friend is a co-founder of Duck Foot Brewing. They make gluten-free beer and "think" buy the White Labs...
