I have to say, having been on this board for over 3 years, that I LOVE it!!!!!!!!! I know people argue and there has been some negativity lately, but I love the fact that I learn something new every day. I just learned I can now drive 2 exits away and get gluten-free pizza at Uno's.

People here are wonderful!!!!!!! If you want to argue about that, give me your best shot!!!!

I love this board too! Without it, I would still be wondering what I could eat and where I could eat. Also, the recipes are great. I don't even need a cookbook! :P

I love this place too! :) :) :)

I don't have a lot of support in the small town where I live... this forum has really helped me learn about gluten intolerance... plus casein intolerance, other food intolerances, thyroid issues, and autoimmune disorders! I wish I had known about it when we first figured out that our son is intolerant to casein.

Me too! :) I think it's hard to communicate when you're limited to words on a screen. I'm sure I come across the wrong way sometimes. I try to give everyone an extra measure of grace. I was just thinking this week how I was so lucky to find this board, and so early on and have gotten so much support. I was thinking "now if I could only find one for diabetes like this"! My local celiac disease support group is great at what they do too. It's just different from what I get here.

:) THANK YOU GUYS!!!!! :)

It's pretty hard to imagine living gluten-free without the internet.

I thank you all for the great support. Life is so much clearer since I visit this family every day. I don't feel isolated. The other great thing is you can talk about any subject without judgement. Thanks...

ok, i'll jump on the bandwagon too!

i don't know what i would do without this board. i've learned so much in 4 months and i know i'd be glutening myself all the time if not for all the good tips i've read. i tell everyone i know about how much of a resource and a support this is. one of my friends is currently awaiting her blood test results and she's already asking for the board info in case she is diagnosed.

so thank you everyone, for being so knowledgeable and supportive!

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Unless gluten exposure is happening on a regular basis, it is doubtful that blood antibodies would show up elevated in testing. It takes time for them to build up to detectable levels.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      HI Nancy, In your first post, you said that you were diagnosed by biopsy and blood test - this is what I was referring to: the blood test is for antibodies that are made during active disease. After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If...

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source. If it seems similar to your experience, you could raise this question with your Dr. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/morgellons-disease

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If you are reacting to foods that don't contain gluten, you may be reacting to something else. Alternatively, a condition called SIBO is common in people with coeliac disease, where there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can be tested for with a simple breath test. The main treatment is with a course of antibiotic. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.
