    Though I've been having Multi Grain Cheerios 3-5 times a week since celiac diagnosis in July with no issues, this info is enough to make me steer clear for now.

    I've had the Golden Fries, Fast Food Style Fries, Crinkle Cut and Hash Browns from Ore Ida with no issues. I also lightly toast Schar Chibatta buns for hamburgers or cheeseburgers. They are kinda small but they seem to hold together better than any of the gluten free buns I've tried. They have them at Walmart.

    I got diagnosed with Celiac 2.5 months ago. I dreaded having the colonoscopy and the prep for it is horrible, but you will feel much better and have peace of mind after you get it out of the way. The GI I saw put me to sleep and I don't remember a thing after the GI asked me to raise my head to put the bite guard in for the upper endoscopy. This is just...

    I think it depends on what issue you are using for, what other conditions you may have, and what medications you are taking. I was told by a doctor that any NSAID like Advil may cause stomache issues.

    Is seeing a different Primary Care or GI an option with your insurance?

    I think he means what the range is for each result. It would say something like 0-3 is normal 4-9 weak positive >10 positive or along those lines. Labs all have their own ranges.

    I don't think they are gluten free. I shop at Winco and they put a little pink gluten free tag next to price tags, and I don't recall any Ortega products being gluten free. They aren't 100% accurate but when I googled Ortega's chili's Smart and Final came up and they also don't list any Ortega products as gluten free, even though they carry those Chili's...

    I've read you should have separate nonstick pots and pans, and separate plastic and wooden utensils. #5 https://www.verywellfit.com/make-your-kitchen-gluten-free-563069

    I had anesthesia and had both the endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time. The option for anesthesia may not be available depending on your doctor and where you have it done though. I only remember the doctor asking me to lift up my head to put in the mouth guard for upper endoscopy and then waking up in recovery. I didn't have any pain or discomfort from...

    I'm 48 and was diagnosed with Celiac a month ago, after biopsy and blood test. I dreaded the colonoscopy and the preparation is as bad as they say, but you will likely be glad you did once its over. They removed a precancerous polyp during my colonoscopy so I was incredibly happy afterword to have done it. Just make sure you follow all directions for the...

    Looking at their website, it doesn't look like they are gluten free. When you sort by gluten free all the Meijer brand frozen foods disappear. They have some Tyson certified gluten free and True Goodness is gluten free but not certified. https://www.meijer.com/t4/grocery/frozen/frozen-meat-seafood/chicken/t1/t1-865/t2/t2-9975/t3/t3-226/T4-387.uts?tierId...

    Looks like number 7 got cut off, says, "more than 3,000 years in," and then ends with no punctuation. Typo on #6, "he" should be "the" GI tract.

    Thanks, I found some Evol dinners at Walmart and tried the Chicken Enchiladas. Thumbs up.

    Hi, I'm new and would appreciate hearing what other brands are good.

    I'm also newly diagnosed and have had some major back pains for years. I had to be persistent with Doctors about getting necessary x-rays and then MRI that showed the problems. Only one of the issues I think might be Celiac related. I have a pars defect on both sides. Which is a small fracture in the facet joints that support the vertebrae. Its very common...

    Leg and hip pain can also be referred pain from your back. I've had on and off hip pain for years, really bad persistent back pains, and occasionally have pain shoot down the back of my right leg too. Finally got x-rays for all as well as lower back mri and ct for back. My hips were fine but back I have severe disc degeneration, moderate bulging disc, moderate...

    Hi, I was just diagnosed last week with Celiac. In addition to the traditional daily symptoms I kept getting stomach flu every 3 months for the last 2 years and it seemed to get more severe every time. Extreme pain in lower right abdomen, fever, chills, and diarrhea(which I was having daily anyway not knowing it was Celiac). I did have a Abdominal CT scan...

    Thanks : ), I did have an oscopy-on-both-ends and the upper revealed, "a lot of inflamation from acid reflux," and they biopsied. The GI ordered follow up blood tests and then she confirmed the celiac diagnosis. They also dilated my esophagus and she said I should repeat the upper in a year.

    Just got my diagnosis last Thursday and couple questions. 1) Do doctors continue to test and monitor with t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA blood tests? I know I have to go 100% gluten free and am working on it, but does that measure how well you are doing at elimination gluten? 2) After going gluten free, how soon after accidentally eating something...
