Just curious how you found this site. Also did recent publicity on CBS, USA and CNN have anything to do with searching for it? Also welcome aboard!

I actually found out through a co-worker, never had heard of it before.

OOOPSSS, I see that you asked newbies, lol...although sometimes I still think of myself as one. Sorry! :P

No apology necessary. Actually anyone can answer. I myself found it by searching my symptoms shortly before my diagnosis last year. I just did not find it soon enough.

I was told by my nutritionist. I actually think she referred me to the celiac.com site, and I found the forum from there :) Glad I did too!

After reading Brostoff's Food Allergies and Food Intolerances book, I was looking for tests to supplement what I was trying to accomplish with a food elimination diet. Found the Enterolab website and then was googling to find out what people had to say about their tests and that is what led me here!

I'm not a newbie either, but my doctor told me about the website. Her daughter had celiac disease.

Well, since you don't have to be a newbie...

I stumbled onto the board about 4 months after I was diagnosed. I was researching an ingredient in my digestive enzymes, and came upon a discussion about it here. :)

I did an internet search for celiac support groups. This one looked cool and loaded on my sidekick (I don't have a computer) easily. Thank you google! Lol!

My mom saw the CBS show and she called me. She told me it what she saw mimiced much of what my daughter and I have been going through for years! We have had bloodwork done and sent to promethius labs and are still waiting for results! I found your site via the web when I began my research.

I did a search about gluten intolerance on Google and this place came up. I started reading some and found a lot of good information and VERY friendly people. So I signed up. I think I wouldn't have done half as well without this place. :)

I found this site when I was ordering food from the Gluten Free Mall, I was looking around the web site and noticed Message Board links... and since I am a message board junkie I thought, hmmmmm I just HAVE to check THIS out!

I found the Gluten Free Mall through Google.

I found this site after googling "Celiac Disease". My mom mentioned I might have it since I was having chronic diarrhea. I think she might have it too, but she doesn't seem to want to get tested (not that testing always works).

I found celiac.com when I googled celiac disease.

I'm really wondering whether some of our current newbies are here as a result of any of the recent publicity on celiac disease.

If I remember correctly I was searching for gluten intolerance info. I found celiac.com and later clicked on the message board.

Can't get me off of here now. :)

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
