Ignore this thread. I was trying to do a poll and got it all messed up. I'll try redoing it tomorrow.

Thanks,

Nancy

Nancy,

I didn't answer any questions as I didn't see any that applied to me.

I was tested by enterolab after being very gluten lite for 1 1/2 months. My regular doctor would have tested me but I felt it was a mute point after that length of time.

Since I have a celiac gene I would generally say I have celiac but the very beginnings of it, before damage was done. My son tested positive through enterolab and has 2 celiac genes so he's really the only one we could truly say has celiac, although he was just over the cutoff. Maybe we should all say we are gluten intolerant since we didn't have the damage yet. :unsure:

Good idea for the poll though. :)

Andrea -

I forgot about Enterolab. Doh! I added that as an option. Thanks for reminding me.

Nancy, because you changed it, my vote doesn't show up any more, and it says I already voted and won't let me vote again.

I voted that I self-diagnosed, my doctor (I believe) put into my chart that I have celiac disease, and I tell people I have celiac disease, because otherwise my family wouldn't take me seriously.

Crud. Same here. I think it got messed up. I'll erase this one and redo it tomorrow. I'm heading to bed right now. I'm not even seeing the votes I put in.

Sorry folks! Check for a new poll/post tomorrow.

For some reason it hadn't shown the votes even before I first replied.... :(:blink:

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
