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. :)

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.

      New labs are now very elevated

      Hello, I was very stick, with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel. Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change? What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?...

      Is Cracker Barrel`s gluten-free menu safe for kids with celiac disease?

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination.

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
