    I I think what would be allowed as far as alternatives go will vary from priest to priest and parish to parish. The Catholic Church is not as monolithic as many imagine. I would suggest that any Catholics in this situation discuss the options with their priest.

    Don't forget the green veggies. Pour some of that cheese over broccoli. That will automatically make it a healthy meal, hee , hee!

    In this situation, would it be possible to take GliadinX or something similar in order to mitigate the small amount of gluten in the communion wafer?

    Be patient with the thyroid problem. It can take a while to get the med dosage dialed in.

    Sorry, you did say colostomy. My bad. I was thinking right but keyboarded it wrong.

    What symptoms were you having before the colonoscopy when you got glutened? How did distinguish glutening from the fructose issue back then? Is it possible all the symptoms you were having pre colonoscopy were caused by the fructose intolerance rather than gluten? Many Celiacs are asymptomatic. We call it "silent" Celiac Disease.

    I would contact the companies directly and ask that question. Many times you can't get a definitive answer because they aren't necessarily taking precautions against cross contamination even though they may not put gluten in the product intentionally.

    Thanks for the correction, Scott. I had the wrong impression from some other things you had said about your daughter's use of it. I have never used it personally. I just want the OP to understand using GliadinX is not a silver bullet for celiac disease and should not tempt her to throw caution to the wind when eating out.

    This is pretty much my experience, Scott, except the celiac disease dx came much later in life.

    I would caution against seeing gliadinX as anything more than a stopgap measure when you are in a situation where you have no choice but to eat out and you are simply doing what you can to mitigate cross contamination even though you have been appropriately selective in your menu choices as a celiac. I would not encourage you to see it as something giving...

    Burgher, you raise a good point. My observation is that our European forum participants, who live under universal health care, consistently testify of the difficulty and the wait times of getting appointments with specialists for endoscopies. And your experience with the polyp reminds us that an endoscopy may have more value than just a means of confirming...

    Welcome, Chris! Substantial healing of the small bowel villi usually takes months and up to a couple of years. A big part of that equation is how successful you are in avoiding incidental exposure to gluten such as might be found in supplements/meds and cross contamination. Every gluten event is a setback to healing. Research any meds/supplements/vitamins...

    Welcome to the forum, Halime! We are happy to hear you have committed to eating gluten-free. I wish to encourage you to really educate yourself as to where gluten shows up in the food supply. It is not good enough to cut out major sources of gluten like bread and pasta but also you must eliminate the minor sources as well. Gluten is found in places you...

    I would suspect she is still getting some small amounts of gluten, like from cross contamination or foods labeled "gluten free" that still contain enough gluten to generate reactions in more sensitive celiacs.

    I would think that if they are rinsed thoroughly before consumption it should not be an issue. I don't think there would be an uptake metabolically speaking of the gluten.

    The Aloe Vera oil should be safe since it's "100%" aloe vera and also it's topical. Plain table salt will not be a problem. Can't see how any wheat, barley or rye cross contamination would happen with either of these products.

    It's not common but it can happen: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/sinus-infections-that-dont-quit-when-you-should-worry/#:~:text=Also in rare cases%2C sinus,from sinusitis%2C” he says.

    Unless it is stated to be gluten free, probably not because of the cross contamination in growing, harvesting, transporting and milling with wheat, barley and rye.

    This pandemic might turn everything into larabars as far as tasting food goes. The thing I struggle with in regards to protein/energy bars is that many of them include a large amount of inulin to make them high fiber. Boy, does inulin give me the toots!
  21. trents
    Plastic increases the fiber content.

    I think you have to tick that box in your preferences.

    Bob's Red Mill online. Shipping might be expensive for you however since Bob's is in Oregon.

    You might want to cut out oats, at least for the time being, as about 10% of Celiacs react to oats like they do wheat, even oats that are not cross contaminated with wheat/barley/rye. Switch over to some other gluten free hot cereals such as corn grits, sorghum or buck wheat (not related to wheat). There are some delicious alternatives to oatsmeal.
