Long story short I was diagnosed when I was around 12 months old (1974) when I turned 8 (1983) the Doctor at sick kids thought it would be a good idea to see if I could tolerate gluten so they started giving be small amounts then about 1 1/2 years later the Doctors said I was in "remission"

fast forward about 15 years and I started getting the same symptom I had when I was a baby, I went to see a doctor at a clinic (because I was in University and no where near my regular Doc) and asked if it could be the Celiac coming back he said with Celiac once you have it it never goes away you were probably diagnosed wrong. What you have is IBS. I lived with the symptoms for years then a few weeks ago I went to the Doctors for a check up and he sent me for blood work, to check my Thyroid and also the Celiac panel. Which came back positive and here I am.

I have a question, I remember that I had to keep the bread in the freezer, does it still need to be frozen?

Hello

The gluten free world is changing rapidly. Really good foods now! No more gritty foods if you want to pay for the best of the best!

Most breads should be frozen if not eaten in a couple of days. But there are many breads that have a shelf life for a week or so. I don't use bread daily so I always freeze my bread. If you put wax paper between the bread you can take out only what you plan on using. This way it is not being wasted.....

Thanks. And I'm glad to hear that the food is a lot better. I made pizza the other night and my husband and I were pleasantly surprised.

I'm also wondering has anyone else out there been told by their doctor to add gluten in their diet when they were kids?

Hello

Yes that was what many was told way back when. The doctors didn't know any better...& now if only we could get them to check-out patients that do not get better !It is truly a sad situation..

Glad you enjoyed pizza...

      So there was no physical, plastic card involved, correct?

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they had a systems problem around that time.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.
