I have been to this site thousands of times and not realized there was a message board. I found out about my gluten intollerance about 5 years ago and have struggled with my love of food verus feeling sick constantly. I am so glad you all are here to support and share.

My mom just found out she has the same problem and it seems like every one meet knows at least one person with this.

I look forward to meeting you all!

Welcome Sarah - we're glad you found the board! I'm a newbie to the diet and after my biopsy I asked my Mother to get tested. She says she will (been looking for what's wrong for over two years to no avail) but she recently had a beach vacation and she also has a cruise coming up in the summer so I'm looking for that to be her next excuse as to wait to get tested. How did you get your Mother to get tested, if you don't mind my asking?

I am new too, and this is an awesome website. I am really excited to be able to chat withg people who understand. I have great friends, but unless yo go through it, you just don't understand. My son has been gluten-free for 4.5 years now. It seeems even hard to find a doctor who can really help. So, I am excited to be able to relate with people who can really relate. Thank You!

thank you for your warm welcome!

How did you get your Mother to get tested, if you don't mind my asking?

My mom is a smart woman and knew from all I had been through that it was very likely that she had the same problem. She did it all on her own and is doing much better. She had gotten to an extrememe point before getting tested but the tests - as with me- weren't really conclusive. She started the diet and started feeling a lot better pretty quickly.

Thats awesome that your mom has gone Gluten Free. My mom also has, after inconclusive tests, and is miraculously feeling better. I think she's still fighting a little bit, but she's doing really well and has jumped right into gluten free baking, which is nice :)

Welcome to the forum, it can be an odd place sometimes, but its helpful and fun and uplifting as well.

Sarah, Welcome! I am somewhat new too, but I have been SO encouraged here!

--Elonwy--ODD is GOOD isn't it? Better than BORING, right?!!! Where else, besides maybe a nursing home, can you hear so many discussions on POOP?

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
