Hi Bev,

I found another gentlemen that does support groups and am trying to set up a support meeting with him & others. If you can e-mail me your contact info that would be helpful.

Thanks,

My daughter just had 14" of her intestines removed and I swear it is Celiac. Her surgeon says "no such thing". But another doc in hospital that is Integrative that trained under Andrew Weil said there are SO MANY FALSE negatives and people keep going on eating gluten and continuing to damage their intestines.

I can't get my daughter diagnosed since we have to go on gluten for 2 months and she absolutely can't do that. Just yesterday she had a reaction to seasoning on shrimp in a restaurant and was home sick all day with D and nausea.

Anyway, just wanted to post my thoughts about "false negatives" - my daughter will never get a diagnosis but we know for sure she can never eat gluten again.

Could there be gluten in something you are eating? Maybe spices, cheese, chocolates, etc?

Wow, that is too bad about the microwave! Can you cover the food before you nuke it? I usually cover with a paper towel.

Thank you for the info on sensitivity.

What about popcorn? My 12 year daughter old can't eat gluten due to a bowel obstruction (intussusception) surgery on New Year's Eve.

She was at a friends last night and I sent her with gluten-free snacks and she ate them all and called me to ask if she could have popcorn. For some reason my intuition said no.

Has anyone on here had any issues with digesting this after recently going completely gluten-free and/or after this type of surgery?
