I've been a celiac since 1991 (actually a lot longer because it took so long to get the final diagnosis).
I would recommend "Jules Shepard" and her recipes (which we see on this website often).  They are so tasty.  She really knows her stuff.<br/><br/>

I know that everyone of us has his story of suffering. God bless you all. For me I suffered because in my country (Egypt ) doctors are not very good and that's made  me suffer more than you can imagine, and the worst thing is I cant find anyone who can understand me and my disease. Around me I see people who suffer too and they don't know why !!<br/><br/>

Very happy for you!  I definitely can relate to all your symptoms.  It's been a year since I was diagnosed and recent testing showed my antibodies were negative!  The burning, tingling neuropathy in my feet and legs have now stopped.  My energy level, and GI symptoms have improved. I too feel gluten is POISON!  The sad part of this is, I had to figure it out myself and asked to be tested.  I was dumbfounded and angry because of the years of misdiagnoses,
tests and medications I had been given.  Only to find out that some of the medications contained gluten!!!  After reading Dr. Peter Greene's book.  I learned I have had celiac since I was 17 years old.  I had developed Dermatitis Herpetaformis.  I am now 54 years old.  So for 37 years, I have suffered.  I have been
diligent about educating myself and my doctors.  Even writing letters to past doctors, informing them to get educated about Celiac.  Example: I asked my GI doctor how strict do I need to be.  He replied, only be concerned with what you ingest.  So, I go gluten-free, so I thought.  And my antibodies were still high!
Dumbfounded again....reading The G Free Diet by Elizabeth Hasselback.  I learned my lipstick was not gluten free.  After testing negative, I informed my doctor.  Now he was the one dumbfounded!  Since I work in the medical field, my personal mission is to increase awareness of celiac.  No one should be suffering from something that is so controllable.  I am so happy now that I have my life back and feel empowered because I am in control.  Bless you all with good health!!!  ( It only takes 1/8 of a teaspoon to make you sick)<br/><br/>

It's amazing how quickly our bodies can heal when we take out the poison.  My entire family---myself, husband and 2 kids---all have Celiac.  I HATE Gluten with a passion!!!  But what I hate worse than anything these days.....is HIDDEN GLUTEN!  It has gotten us so badly the last couple of years---I am sick to death of gluten hiding in foods due to cross contamination or sloppy production.  Our daughter's antibodies were higher this year than they were the first year we tested her eating her full gluten diet!!!  It scared us and it scared her.  She is still more careful...but we still get hidden gluten.  

Five years down our gluten-free road---since July 2005---I am MORE dumbfounded than ever at just HOW HARD eating Gluten Free is.  Apparently, we are starting to fall into the category of "Super Sensitive Celiac"---which makes it increasingly hard and frustrating to eat safely.<br/><br/>
