Does anyone have Sald just about double them over with stomach pain. For some reason I can't eat sald at all right now... Just wondering if being celiac it would cause issues with green leafy vegables. ;)

It can be hard for some of us to digest raw veggies at first. I found Romain lettuce harder on my system than iceberg lettuce.

It could also be the vinegar or soy oil in the dressing that's not agreeing with you?

Maybe give it a bit more time and then try it again?

Raw veggies are hard to digest, especially when you are first healing. Iceberg lettuce can be really bad & gas causing. When I first went gluten-free, I had a hard time with salads. For me, spinach was really hard. I was good with it cooked. I was just Ok with a little baby spinach like on a sandwich. I was fine with carrots, cucumbers, red peppers, etc raw by themselves. I can eat them now, so give it a few months and try again.

I was in denial that I have celiac but now I starting to think my doctor might be right. I'm going to stay about from the salad until I get a biopsy and go glutin free for six months or so....

I rather be diabetic than celiac because I think this is going to be so hard.....I don't know how I'm going to travel...ahhhhhh.

For the time being why not try roasting vegetables? They are awesome. And you can make wonderful kale chips in the oven.

Many of us travel, even to foreign countries. Before my first trip gluten free I was nervous but it turned out I worried for nothing. I just took along a lot of snacks to keep me satisfied, especially at airports and on flights because sometimes gluten-free meals can frankly be gross. Research the country or area before you go. If you go to a country where the primary language is not English take along restaurant cards for eating out. I have used them many times with great success. Hang out at the fresh markets and grocery stores. It can be done - honest! Don't worry. :)

If you want more travel tips just read the many threads on this site.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood t...

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
