    I also get the tightening in the chest when I get contaminated by gluten. Accually last night was one time and I haven't had that in along time. What I have found out for me is that some salad dressings that are contaminated will do this for me. I also get this tightening in the chest from millet which I am allergice too, I didn't know that before but...

However when I started to see a naturalpathic doctor that puts me on a machine of some kind said I was dificient in 18 different vitamins and minerals, she explaind to me that the lack of any...

    I have been Dx with Fibymialga more than 2 years ago, however I don't believe I have it an longer. I had been doctoring for many years since I was hospitalized in 1998. I was sick before that but my parents were from the era of if your not dying your not going to the doctor. So when I became hospitalized many test were done and nothing found, did test...

    Is Land O Lakes Vanilla Ice Cream gluten free? I had some last night and my head is just pounding that is a gluten reaction for me. I don't usually buy that brand but it was the only one the store had so I tried it. Otherwise I am trying to figure out what else I ate that could have done this. Thanks!

    I am a believer in all that pixigirl had to say. I know some people that say they try and then you accually find out well they are walking only 10 minutes on the treadmill that is no effort to me. Or the snack too. People snack and don't realize that they are even doing it. They had a donut at work but forgot to count it, snacked on candy at work or home...

    The thing to remember is if you do want the blood test done you need to stay eating gluten until the test is done. I don't think one day will throw it off but a few days will. It just depends if you are the type of person that needs a specific reading to confirm that or not. If not you can just do the diet and if you feel better then stay on it. Which...

    Alot of people have problems with fruit. The melons are a problem to lots of people and they are kind of a group thing you can pick out. Watermelon, cantalop, muskmelon ect. I know of people to have problems with apples and if you read lables you will find apple juice in alot of gluten free items for flavor so you may have to watch that if apples show...

    Things that I take with me when I go out and about and don't know how long I will be gone is dried fruit, banana chips, trail mix of nuts and things, I also love Glutino meal or breakfast bars. Otherwise fast on the go things I take to work is fruit, Oscar Meyer hot dogs, salad greens.

    I feel cold turkey is the way to go. I went cold turkey and didn't eat anything unless I knew it was gluten free. It took a while to get the hang of things but I noticed small changes within a couple of days and things are still getting better 11 months later. Otherwise I can see where you say I will have just a bit of this today and then get on track...

    I do have a trail mix that I like to eat. Thanks

    Dairy products can do strange things also. You may want to try dairy free for a couple of weeks to see if it gets better.

    I have been Gluten Free for about 10 months and I am looking at going Dairy, Soy and Corn free along with Gluten Free. I was just wondering about snacks other than the plain fruits and veggies that people in my situation snack on. I probably wouldn't even need a snack everyday but once in awhile you just want something. What are you choices if you have...

    It maybe that your body is just so low on some vitamins and minerals that you feel like your body never catches up to where it should be for energy and such. I had this same problems but add some more symptom also. I seen a naturalpathic doctor after going gluten free (about 2-3 months after starting gluten free) and she has helped me tromendously. So...

    I am another one that would never go by test results myself. I have doctored for years before even hearing about the disease and my test said neg, but I was gluten light for a year. Not for Celiac but because I was trying to loose some weight so I wasn't eating pasta, bread and baked goods. I know nothing about the test but I am sure someone will.

    It is toughest at first. After the first year it goes better, at least that is what I have found. It bothers me the most at holidays and the family knows how I have to eat but nobody makes an effort to bring gluten free food but me. They all like what I bring and I share it! My friends have been very understanding because they seen me before gluten free...

    Yoplait is gluten free it is a Kraft product, so it would say in the ingredients if not. I can't remember for sure if it has splenda in it or if it is just in the Yoplait yogert smoothies. Just a thought that came to mind.

    It seems hard at first but each day gets better. knowing you can't have what you use to and finding subsitutes. But I have found after a few months that I think my taste buds have changed and I now like things I never thought I like before. Good luck!

    We used to make these as a kid with mom, 20 years ago. The were pre-gluten times. They were good and we used to decorate them like crazy, the more the better.

    I don't know alot about it, but I do think that it is a thyroid disease of some sort. Which thyroid problems are common in Celiacs. I have not been diagnosed by a doctor with hypothyroid but I am being treated for it through a naturalpathic doctor. My test at the doctors office came out normal but according to her my number were way off. She is treating...

    I do know for myself that I had severe lower back pain and tail bone pain. It was so bad to sit I would drive to work and stand at my desk and do paper work because it hurt so bad to sit. This went on for a little over 2 years before that I would have pain off and on. I was gluten light and had the blood test done and came back negitive, I also started...

    Hi Heidi, I know that changing life styles are tough. I have only gone to a very small support group once. And basically what we did at this one since the group hadn't meet in about 4-5 months is just got input on what people wanted out of the group. So we can get a better support group going in the future. We also talked about products that we had recently...

    Some people want a diagnosis before they go on the diet, some don't care and just try the diet. I personally was gluten light for about a year just trying to diet I cut out breads, pastas, cracker and pretty much anything that was made with a form of flour. When I decieded to go in for my blood test it came back negitive. I have heard that some people...

    Another thing to keep in mind is when something is publised some of those things can change by the time the book hits the market, especially if they are talking about something to eat. People change there ingredients or recipes and that makes us call and check on these types of things all the time.

    For fiber I just make sure I get lots of fruits and veggies everyday. This was a change for me.
