This restaurant is so good! It's entirely gluten free so i can order whatever I want without having to worry. What a treat that is! The food is upscale and would appeal to non-gluten-free people as well. A little pricey, but worth it. I can't wait to go back.

It used to be Graces 5...same menu but new owners.

I found a recipe for a super easy pumpkin cake, and it's egg free too. I don't know how to link since I'm on my phone, but it is bigredkitchen.com. Two ingredients pumpkin cake with apple cider glaze. The blog post was old so this may be old news to some but I thought it was worth sharing.

While this is not from a gluten-free blog, I simply substituted gluten-free cake mix for regular mix. It is so simple..one box of cake mix (I used bisquick) and one can of pumpkin puree. Mix together, pour into a cake pan and bake at 350 for about 24 minutes. I made a cream cheese frosting instead of the apple cider icing and it was delicious!

I had an EGD and a colonoscopy at a new GI today. He said everything looked good but we have to wait for biopsy results to know whats really going on. I really liked him so I'm hopeful he'll end up being a good doctor. At least he didnt laugh at me like my last GI when I discussed celiac and gluten.

He says I at least have a gluten intolerance if it isnt celiac. But ive been off gluten for 9 weeks now so I could possibly get a false negative. I knew that was likely but I went ahead with the testing without going back on gluten because it wasnt worth it to me. I have had remarkable improvements since going gluten free and the thought of going back makes me cry...I was so sick!

I had blood tests done prior to going gluten free and they came back negative, although I'm not sure a full panel was done. I feel positive, like this is the last of my tests. Whether they werent able to detect celiac or not I'm gluten free from here on out.

Hi. I am new here. I've been struggling with an undiagnosed illness over the past year and a half and been to every specialist in town without a firm diagnosis. Actually, every time a see a new doctor I have a new diagnosis: migraines, high blood pressure, anxiety, IBS, severe Vit D deficiency, slight anemia, and so on, but nothing seems to really be the right diagnosis.

My symptoms: sharp headaches, migraines, diarrhea, chest pains, stomach pains after eating, dizziness, vertigo, swollen lymph nodes, blurry vision, tingling in jaw, foggy head, heavy chest, severe gas, tight/painful stomach when I wake, pain in sides/kidney area/sides, sore throat.

I recently heard of a connection between Lisinopril and Celiac, and it just occured to me I started taking that about the same time the symptoms started. I stopped taking it for about a month and still felt bad, but I was still eating gluten during that time. I am back on Lisinopril again but now I'm concerned that's the problem. I can't seem to find much information on the internet though linking the two.

I did have a celiac blood panel, but in reading other threads I think I may not have received the full test. My results:
Anti Endomysial, IgA Negative
Anti Gliadin, IgA 6
Anti Gliadin, IgG 3
Anti tTransglutaminase, IgA 5
Anti tTrasglutaminase, IgG Negative

I have not yet had an EGD. That was the plan but it has taken a while to have this done and in the meantime I decided to try eating gluten free. I have felt remarkably better and most of my symptoms have gone or at least been greatly reduced. I now realize being gluten free will affect the EGD, but I started it on a whim and it was so successful I'm not sure I want to go back on gluten to get an accurate test.

I would appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks!
