    I'm surprised that you can't even be in a room where there's people eating gluten. That's too bad:( Do you think that in time that could change, when, say, your immune system calms down more? I hope so. I am blessed that I am at eating/cooking at home all the time, and now that we've gone gluten free I hope things will get better. Eating out or at other...

    Thanks for the tips and the links. The second link didn't work, though. I have a stainless steel colander, so is that okay or do I need to get rid of it? You said in an earlier post that until you went entirely gluten free in your house you didn't realize how much you needed that. Can you explain more? I certainly thought I was fine until my bread-making...

    Thank you for sharing your experience! I am assuming cc means cross-contamination--is that right? I am a celiac newbie so I don't know all the abbreviations yet. I am looking forward to being a gluten-free household! This Thursday, when my family gets their ttg tests I will get everything out. I've already started a little bit. And bought a new toaster:)...

    Are you celiac then? And what were the tests/symptoms that confirmed it for you? I wonder why you never test positive for TTG? My kids and husband are getting tested next week which I am very happy about, although I'm a bit nervous about what the results will be for them. Can you recommend a good online resource for making a household gluten free? Once their...

    Hi squirmingitch. I'm glad you responded. It was reading your posts that made me joint the forum. I appreciate your advice about the fish. I have stopped the iodine and I will cut out fish(salmon and cod is what I eat) for a few weeks. I use mostly Himalayan Salt. Is that okay? I'd hate to cut out salt because with low adrenal function I really need it. But...

    Thanks for trying to save me money:) I can't afford to waste time with incompetent doctors. That's why I'm going through a naturopath. I know I'm celiac. And I'm pretty sure my rash is this DH. I also am just itchy all over my body. The back of my head has been itchy for years. And ever since the fall when I ignorantly decided to make bread for my family...

    I am in Canada, and I am paying for the tests. No insurance coverage. I opted out of the biospy because I feel it is redundant considering my genetics, history, reactions, etc. I may need to for my kids, though. We'll see. They sure wouldn't like that procedure, though:( I've never liked doctors much, though. When I had my severe adrenal crash six years ago...

    I understand. I got a thyroid panel done and it showed my levels were a bit low(so hypo) and I might benefit from some thyroid hormone. As I said, though, my naturopath wants to make sure my kids are tested and the gluten is out of the house before going to the next step. So, one step at a time, I guess. Thanks for the help.

    Hi cyclinglady. Thanks for your response. I read a book a few years ago about iodine and taking it seemed like a good idea at the time. I can't remember all the details. I'd have to go back and re-read it! I will stop the iodine right away. My tests showed Thyroglobulin Ab was199 and Thyroperoxidase Ab was 17. My naturopath hesitated to give my condition...

    Hi, I'm new here. I developed a rash under my breasts last summer. It's very itchy but I don't get bumps or fluid like other people mention. I have been eating a gluten free diet for 6 years, knowing I was gluten sensitive, but recently was diagnosed with celiac. I have two celiac genes, and my dad, sister and cousin are celiac. I have certainly had enough...
