    Hi there. Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my questions. Carla, it sure sounds like we have a lot in common! I live in Brantford, Ontario. It would be great if you lived close by but I guess that is hoping for too much. Do you live in the States? (You don't have to answer that if you don't want.) Andrea, thanks a lot for the great recipes...

    Well, it's official. According to my Enterolab results, I tested positive for gluten sensitivity. Also for casein (more on that later... boo - hoo). My question is regarding Antitissue Transglutaminase. My results says "You have an autoimmune reaction to the human enzyme tissue transglutaminase, secondary to dietary gluten insensitivity." I have no idea...

    Thanks a lot to both of you for your replies. I should have mentioned in my original post that I take digestive enzymes which contain HCL. Sometimes I wonder if I have too much HCL. I read one website on enzymes which said not to take one with HCL for a long time. As far as eating other fruit goes, apples make me really gassy and give me a sore stomach...

    I have a few questions and really hope someone can help me out here. First, what does a burning tongue mean? I've heard it's from Vitamin B deficiency and I've heard it's from specific food allergies. Does anyone know? Also, yesterday I ate an orange (my tongue began to burn) and it made me sick (gas, strong abdominal pain under my ribs), then for supper...

    Thanks for the advice. I checked out adrenal fatigue and did one of the questionaires. I came back with 81%. I think I have 10 out of the 13 symptoms. I'd say I'm definitely suffering from this. It's good to be able to put a name to it, rather that thinking I am a hypochondriac who is losing my mind. So, thanks again for the help. Marlene

    We went to a BBQ recently where an aquaintance announced that he was on the gluten free diet because he wanted to lose weight too!! I've lost about 25 pounds in the last 4 months. Then he proceeded to eat hamburgers complete with buns, salads of all kinds, and desserts. I wanted to get up and stuff his plate down his throat. The other comment that really...

    Hi: I posted a note on pre-diagnosis regarding stress. Was it moved to a different place? Sorry if I posted it to the wrong thread. Thanks! Marlene

    Hello everyone: Just wondering how does stress affect you? I started the gluten free diet about 2 months ago even though my blood test was negative. I also sent away my samples this past Monday to Enterolab. I have noticed improvement on the diet. However, last week Friday I had a super stressful day at work (got in trouble 3 times from 2 bosses for...

    Thanks to all of you for your responses! As far as my kids goes, I have 2 who seem to have GI symptoms. My one son is 17 and refuses to even consider the possibility that he might not be able to eat whatever he wants -- even though it would make him better. That's why I guess I was hoping for a positive dx. It might make him reconsider. I have told him...

    Hello everyone: I have been reading most of the posts on these forums and have learned tons in the last few weeks. My story sounds the same as most peoples -- symptoms for the last 20 years including gas, bloating, diahrea, constipation, gross floating stools, pain, headaches, brain fog, tingling and numbness in my legs, lactose intolerance, depression...
