I think it's good to have all this information. If I know that a product is supposed to be gluten-free, but people have reacted to it, I'm going to approach it differently than if no one has ever reacted to it, than if I have no information on it. It's all useful information in it's nuances.

Tiffany -- I think you're right. I do the same thing. In my case, I don't HAVE a typical "gluten reaction" . . . therefore, when someone says they've had trouble with something (like Amy's with CC), then I eliminate it. I have no options when it comes to ingesting gluten. Therefore, I like to see the discussions and who has found out what information. I think the people on this board do a fantastic job of fact-finding, and I always go with the most conservative opinion. If someone says they've had a reaction, then someone else says, "Hey, me, too" . . . that's it for me -- no more. But again, I have few options.

Beverly -- as for me, I like peas. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

my dear Vincent- I find it hard to believe that anyone would hate you. Really, you have a heart of gold and you're a goof (hey- it it is far better to be LAUGHED at than yelled at!). People laugh AT me all the time- in fact the head of my advisory committee for my PhD accused me of being a spaz yesterday :ph34r: Hi- Welcome to the Northeast educational Conference. I am Dr. Beverly Spaz. :rolleyes: And one of my co-workers called me a "valuable loose cannon". Hope that makes YOU feel better!

I had to say something....I was actually just cruising around the site and found this post!

Now I am a youngster here on the forum but being close to my 21st b-day I consider myself an adult......

To the original poster of this thread.....I concur that this is a place for "information", sympathizing, and levity in a life of discomfort. Sometimes though some of us are shocked at a person listing a product as totally gluten-free when we know that it specifically says it is not. This often results in a heated reaction fearing for the safety of the other members of the forum going off and trying a product and possibly making friends with their toilet for the next few days. :rolleyes::D Yes some people are vehement, but you cannot go in with your little brain gnomes and rewire their brain to be more open minded. ^_^ Some people only know what they have experienced and are not aware that other people may be different than them, god forbid....

However, I think most of us here are open minded, in response to your post in Texan slang....."Them 'ders fightin' words" Not that you meant them that way, but people always can interpret stuff the way they want to.

Being an overly sensitive person to gluten I had a positive test to a gluten skin test, I am Celiac, and I have DH, I am extremely careful about what I eat. I am new to this whole gluten thing....well not new but returning to the gluten free diet with less restrictions. I appreciate people's experiences, where the information may not be 100% black and white accurate, I do get steered in the right direction on a place to look for gluten-free items in my life that I can use. Of course I check every label 3 times and bug the heck out of the natural foods store on site dietician, but I find that it is nice to know that I have a community.

Maybe it is not all "black and white" here, but then again is anything relating to gluten "black and white"? Just looking at the differences on this forum between the amount of allergies that people have, the level of intolerances that people have, and the different disorders/diseases people have not related to gluten, I would say there is no "right or wrong" answer. When I post information I try to think of most of the allergies/level of intolerance that people have. When posting a recipe, or new product I found I always mention that you should check it out for yourself and not think that I or anyone else has all the answers or all the information. That would be like going into a store and drinking oven cleaner because someone told you it was gluten free.

Richard, I am new to this forum, but you have made me chuckle already in the last week! :lol::D I have never had so much levity about my disease before in my life! I get alot of support from this community when others out there who do not have any food sensetivities are clueless. Sometimes knowing that you guys are here, opinions and all is really the reason that I get up in the morning. To know that I am not alone and to get my stiff, pained, inflamed joint booty out of bed in the morning! :wub::wub::wub:

Happy Poo-Poo to You,

Happy Poo-Poo to You,

Happy Poo-Poo, Happy Poo-Poo,

Happy Poo-Poo to YOU!

We sing this to my 2yo when she's successful too! Sometimes we even light a match in her honor! :blink:

We're not normal, REGULAR is all we can hope for! :P

See what I mean about being the highlight of my day when I feel like heck! Sense of humor....necessary to survival I have found. :D

I think I've passed through "normal", it looked boring, so i kept going...

Reminds me of something George Carlin, once said...

"You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is." :P

I'm pretty new here and don't really feel I know too many of the regular posters, but I certainly enjoyed reading this thread. It was interesting and funny...I have to say, this message board has REALLY helped me more than anything else over recent months...I am feeling so much better now, mostly because of reading people's discussions, experiences, thoughts, references to medical lit, etc., and finally figuring out my problems with all of this help. Some arguing (I think I've missed most of it) is only natural in this situation; there just isn't a lot of helpful information out there or easy to find, and so throwing around opinions and all of that is only what you'd expect. If I hadn't stumbled across this message board almost a year ago, I'd still be totally miserable today! I would hate to see this thing moderated like the vegan message board I belong to, where anything possibly conflicting with veganism is deleted right away. I like the idea of veganism, but I don't like doing anything just blindly; I prefer knowing both sides of an issue before I make my choice...but now I'm getting off track. Let me just say again: This board, and every poster on it, has been enormous help to me.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
