Just t let everyone know, daughter is home and regaining her strength quickly! Results are good so far, but she's not able to eat solid food at all and the doctor said she has a severe case of Siliacs disease and is lactose intolerant. So she's allergic to ALL wheat products and dairy. Vegetables and fruit irritates the bowel and red meat blocks the bowel... So what's th poor girl supposed t eat?
Oh, that's awful! My mom has Celiacs disease! It takes awhile to figure it all out, but thankfully in 2014, there's seriously so many more options for food than she had 10 years ago. Best thing to remember is that WHEAT FREE IS NOT the same as GLUTEN FREE.
My mom can not have any item that's been prepared, baked, fried or touched any other wheat product. So her food has to be gluten free.
My parents now do all their shopping at Walmart, 1) because it's the cheapest 2) the products that are gluten free are now always marked.
You can also call companies directly. That little number on the side of your canned tomatoes? Call it and they will confirm if that particular item is gluten free.
Good luck!
