I have 10 members with celiac disease and 7 or 8 with gluten sensitivity. Some Doctors don't recognize this and I would like a printed version of this article. Great Job!<br/><br/>

It makes it easier for a Celiac or Gluten Intolerant individual to help family members and friends understand how important it is for them to completely abstain from gluten in their diet.  It also heightens awareness as to how common this Gluten Intolerance is becoming in the western world.<br/><br/>

Elaborating on adult symptoms would also be helpful as I also tested negative for celiac disease - I have many health issues including muscle and joint pains that improve when I fast and when I avoid gluten in my diet.  I am 59 and when I was younger did not have chronic health issues, I guess my immune system was able to handle the toxins, but now it has caught up with me and I have had problems for the last 10 years.  As an older adult celiac manifests itself in different ways than children who are affected at an early stage of life.  Many adults refuse to believe they have a problem with gluten and do not see that they might.  Opening their eyes to adult symptoms may shed new light on correct diet.  Thanks for the great article.<br/><br/>

I have constipation instead of diarrhea. I have been gluten free but still have the constipation.  Can you make a suggestion in regard to possible help with it?
Thanks, Pauline<br/><br/>

Had my first migraine ever maybe 5 months ago (never want another one).  A co-worker and real close friend mentioned gluten.  I began delving into it and noticed a lot of the symptoms were similar to what I’ve been experiencing.  Not being keen on doctors and hospitals in general, I thought what is the harm in going gluten free for a while and monitor what happens.  A lot of the symptoms diminished and was actually somewhat better.

The GI symptoms quickly diminished and decided it was time for a test.  I tried a grilled burger (not a fast food meal either) for lunch and for the remainder of the afternoon and throughout the evening I had searing pains across my abdomen.

Upon returning home, I just laid on the sofa and went to bed early.  The next day there was minor discomfort across the abdomen, but not serious.  For lunch I went home and ate a gluten free lasagna frozen entrée, munching on gluten free pretzels and plan on eating a gluten free pizza for supper when I return home.  I plan on purchasing more gluten-free foods after work and going back on it.  Also planning on being tested for gluten intolerance (knowing full well that for the test to be accurate, I will have to indulge in meals containing gluten).

Whether coincidence or not, going gluten-free (even for a short time) has made me feel better.  I’m sure a longer duration would be much more conclusive.

Fabulous article as are many that I’ve read along with many recipes I’ve accumulated and plan to start implementing.<br/><br/>

I had an upper and lower GI and was found fine.  After discovering celiac and its symptoms I went gluten free.  I feel so much better.  Thank you for these articles.  The only thing I don't understand is why didn't my Gastroenterologist do a simple blood test to see if I had Celiac. I still had the same problems after getting the GI come back good.  You would think they would check if you are allergic to gluten.<br/><br/>

We thought it was food poisoning, but someone in the family ate everything he did and weren't sick.After emergency tests we were told no gluten. What a difference. His 20 year long itchy back is cured, his eyes are better, his appetite is back [he was down to 118lbs.] Life is much better even though I'm learning to cook a different way.<br/><br/>
