If you can stand in the middle of a candy store and not be tempted to taste even one piece for fear of spending a week trying to detox....you might be a Celiac.

If you know what, and where, your duodenum is, you are very likely celiac.
Great topic, 1962!

11 year-old Son had negative blood panel, but went on gluten-free diet of his own volition to see if his concentration would improve, his temper abate, and his energy level would increase. Miraculous response!

Love it! Laughed out loud at the "if I take a sip of your soda will I catch your "bread thing".....
I'd like to add that you may be Celiac if you watch what people eat and think "you're NUTS!".

It is like watching some one intentionally eat poisonI'd like to add that you may be Celiac if you watch what people eat and think "you're NUTS!".
If you stand in line at the grocery store and look at what other people have in their shopping cart and shake you head in dismay ...........you may be celiac

This is taken from The Irish Coeliac Messageboard and is a true story, believe it or not!
Quote:
I was in College a while back, and was standing in line at the dreaded food counter, waiting to hear that inevitable question that all Coeliacs must endure "what would you like."
Ahead of me was a fellow student, and he turned to question me, "So, what are you in the mood for today.."
I replied "I wasn't sure" not wanted to blab out right away that I had unusual eating patterns!
He persisted though. "The pasta looks good!"
At this stage, I just thought I'd get it over with and said with as much gusto as I could "I'M A COELIAC".
He hesitated for a moment and replied
" Really, I'm a Saggitarian myself"!!!!
I laughed till tears came to my eyes...
