I've also made some homemade things that were complete disasters and some that I really liked. I think it just takes time to tweak recepies and discover good brands for the prepackaged things.

> > >7. Have you ever eaten gluten without knowing it then suffered for it?

Oh yes!!! I had some trouble with cc initially. About two weeks ago I went out to eat to a little Mexican restaurant and I was assured that their chips were all gluten-free. Well I ended up so sick that I had to go to the hospital. I've also had problems with labeling issues where I've eaten something that was supposed to be gluten-free, only to find out that it wasn't.

1. how long have you had celiac? Coming up on 4 years, after a bad bout of mono

2. At what age were you diagnosed? 22

3. what foods do you miss out on? French bread, hidden valley ranch dressing

4. How much does it cost to stay gluten free? A lot. I don't buy much replacement stuff, but there is so much trial and error involved, because a lot of it is stryofoam or cardboard.

5. Do you ever wish that you didn't have celiac? I'd make life easier, but at least I know what's wrong.

6. Does the food taste better or worse or the same as ordinary food? The same. Other than baked stuff, I make all the same stuff I did before. I cooked 95% gluten-free and didn't even know it!

7. Have you ever eaten gluten without knowing it then suffered for it? Too often. I'm still a "baby celiac"

1. how long have you had celiac?

I'm not certain, but the earliest I remember having celiac disease symptoms was in H.S. I was probably 14 or 15.

2. At what age were you diagnosed?

I was sortof diagnosed when I was 23, but I was never sent for a biopsy or a blood test....so it's not official I guess. I'm still working on that. I got back a positive gene test about a week ago though! I'm 25 now.

3. what foods do you miss out on?

I don't miss out on much....I make most of the things I like. If I miss out on something it's the experience of eating. I've always liked trying new restaurants, eating with friends...etc. That's hard now. I do miss McDonald's #3 without cheese though :ph34r: I heard it's not a #3 anymore though....ha that's sad it's been that long!

4. How much does it cost to stay gluten free?

It definatly costs more.....how much more depends on your diet though. The specialty stuff is outrageous! I get some of that for treats. Pizza dough mix, hamburger buns, cookies, etc. But if I wanted to cut back on spending I could, but just making more naturally gluten-free stuff. We do that a lot anyway.

5. Do you ever wish that you didn't have celiac?

YES! I don't dwell on having celiac disease, but if someone asked me tomarrow if I wanted a pill to make it go away, I'd bite their arm off to get to it! I look at celiac disease as being a good life lesson in self-control though. It has been good for me in that respect. I know now that I can have complete control over what I allow myself. But I've learned my lesson and if you have that pill you better hand it over!!! :lol:

6. Does the food taste better or worse or the same as ordinary food?

I think it's a matter of what you are used to. At first I didn't like the taste of gluten-free food. Everything had a funny aftertaste to me. Now I don't really taste it anymore in most foods. I do think now that I can taste wheat in food though! If I'm eating something by mistake, it tastes a little metalic to me or something. My husband sums it up though (he eats whatever he wants, but at home I make gluten-free for both of us). We were out to eat and he had some kind of pasta. I asked him how it was and he said he didn't like it, because it wasn't like the pasta at home! :lol:

7. Have you ever eaten gluten without knowing it then suffered for it?

Yes.....too often. It's a lot better now, and I am rarely glutened (once every few months), but it does happen.

1. how long have you had coeliac? A year this month!

2. At what age were you diagnosed? Fourteen

3. what foods do you miss out on? Pretzels. I loved pretzels. And poptarts XD

4. How much does it cost to stay gluten free? Depends how much you buy gluten-free foods specially made ( cookies, pastas, breaded meats, ect.) If you don't but these much (which I don't except for cake mixes, for decortating class), it's not really that much more expensive.

5. Do you ever wish that you didn't have coeliac? Not really. Celiac makes me unqiue and personally I think it's a better way of an eating living style.

6. Does the food taste better or worse or the same as ordinary food? It tastes the same, but, it gets repetitive sometimes. I live though.

7. Have you ever eaten gluten without knowing it then suffered for it? Yep.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
