I called the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center for their sample pack. It is wonderful! :P Anyone new to the gluten-free diet should check it out. Samples from so many companies. Also a copy of the Living Without magazine and a gluten-free Food guide for the Denver area. They did a wonderful job. Now I feel guilty because I have a date to cheat (Black-Eye Pea) tonight. I have to test the diet to see that it really helps.

My GI dr said I have to have surgery for a cyst and when I get down I want to cheat. He also said it is Latent Celiac that I could add some foods and see how I feel and it would still be a good diet for me. I already had a Take 5 candy bar. So I already cheated. I already know what will happen but I have to test it. CONTROL ISSUES. I looked all over the house for something to taste. But everything is gluten-free. :(

I have been gluten-free since mid May and feeling good. So tomorrow when I feel like I've been beat up you can all give me the I told you so speech.

I GOT ONE OF THOSE TOO!!!

It was probably the highlight since going gluten-free.

I got so much food I didn't know where to put it! Who knew Lemonheads were gluten-free?

Enjoy it!!!

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
