I miscarried 9 mo. ago, twin girls, at 7 wks (my first pregnancy ever, not planned), am strictly gluten-free, and found your reference to celiacs being 40% infertile to be very disturbing. Could you provide me with any other information that your MD cited? I've done web searches for this before and haven't found there to be heavy evidence on either side...

Thanks kess for the website. I just had a miscarriage and logged onto this referenced site and it looks to be of value to me. I'm trying to believe that my m/c had nothing to do with being celiac. I've been gluten-free since Feb., 2005. I'm an RN and I asked a MD that i worked with if there was any harm to the baby if I accidentally got glutened and...

My doctor's nurse ordered my one year follow-up labs wrong, and instead of testing me for Ttg, they mistakingly tested me for IgG. I've been gluten free for one year. In July, 2005 my IgG was at 681, and now it's down to 609. The norm is 694-1618. I'm waiting to hear my MD's input on this. Has anyone else experienced this finding with their labs? I...

The entire line of shampoos and conditioners by Tosca are gluten-free, I can buy them at my salon, but I'm sure that you could order them on the internet. I'm biased against store brand products. --Kelly

All Crisco oil/shortning is gluten-free, and they make vegetable oil. I buy Canola oil for sray oil b/c it's better for your heart. --Kelly

Woodchuck cider rocks! --Kelly

Hang in there Kim. I was really an emotional train wreck (on the inside) after my initial diagnosis and going gluten-free, much worse emotionally than prior to my dx. It progressively got better for me. As far as prexisting depression, perhaps that was gluten related and perhaps not. It's tough to try and speculate if this will improve to the point that...

I love Food For Life Brown Rice Bread. It's sweet and dense, but really good! --Kelly Langenfeld

I haven't had a chance to try the beer that you mentioned above, but I recently have begun to stock Grist (sp?) beer made from Lakefront Breweries in my fridge. I love being able to have a beer again and I can buy this where I live (Racine, WI). --Kelly Langenfeld

I developed a terrible rxn/tolerance to alcohol after going gluten-free. I was always a beer drinker before, and there is a real learning curve to drinking hard alcohol since my diagnosis in 2/2004. I almost gave up drinking altogether. There were too many bad weekends to count d/t drinking Bacardi and cokes after my diagnosis. But, what I found is that...

I've been strict gluten-free since 2/2004 and I notice (looking back) a slight depression since being diagnosed. It 's better now, for the most part, but it definitely took approx. 3 mo. to clear the worst of it. I haven't noticed any correlation between mood swings and gluten. I'll have to pay closer attention to this. I attribute my mild depression...

I can relate to being tired all the time. It has gotten noticably worse for me since going gluten-free in 2/2004. I'm a vitamin junkie, including Co10 daily. I agree that when I exercise I have more energy and feel better, but that's probably the only thing that I have found to help. I hope that this desire to indulge in lots of sleep starts to taper...

Anyone out there from Racine, WI? --Kelly Langenfeld Diagnosed 2/2004 blood & biopsy

Try calling your local Walgreens pharmacist and ask them to help you find the contact number for the manufacturer for Miralax. That's how I researched all of my meds. They're really helpful there. It takes a few days of phone tag with the manufacturers sometimes, obviously. --Kelly
