    Welcome to the boards, don't forget to take a gluten free B12 everyday, I get Nature Made at Walgreens, sometimes they are on sale 1/2 price. Also do not forget to snack. Sometimes when we go gluten-free we do not get hungry like we used to. So you have to remember to build in those snacks. Fruit with peanut butter or a piece of meat, or nuts is a...

    You might find this article informative Open Original Shared Link And from another board: "Dr. Fasano lists M.S. as an autoimmune disease affected by gluten/too much zonulin/leaky gut. Here's a good article: Open Original Shared Link " I have read many articles on MS & celiac diet, I think it is now being looked at by a lot of people with MS...

    Ginsou, You might try going dairy free also. My sister thought she was dairy free but she was using a "lactose free" additive to her coffee & it still has dairy, casein, she cut that out & had major improvements. & I agree with another post in two months you have probably not been completely gluten free because of slip ups, & cross contamination...

    Junky if you test thru Enterolab.com & get the gene test you could find out what genes you have. If you have double DQ1 (runs in my family) that would explain your neuro symptoms, those of us that are double DQ1 are all too familiar with the neuro side effects of eating dairy & gluten & for most of us a variety of other foods. I think if you...

    If you have a teeny baby then if you go gluten free & the baby gains weight & is up to par on all the milestones that is your diagnosis. (assuming that you have also checked everything possible with the doctors to make sure no obstructions etc etc, but still while doing that it will not hurt you to go Gluten Free) I highly recommend going gluten...

    Forgot to add about the afore mentioned magazine, (there are two on the market that I know of) I find both magazines worthless with their tripe & I am not renewing. Actually everytime I read someone's mis-informed article it just raises my blood pressure. To anyone that is thinking about subscribing I would say forget it, I found it a waste of money...

    I once got sick walking by the bakery section, they must have been doing something with the flour as I walked by, I did not realize it until 15 minutes later when my stomach ache started happening. I have been wheat free for mostly 10 years & now totally gluten-free for 3 years so that is a total of 13 years, so some of these other people that it has...

    Sweden has a high level of celiac spectrum issues as does Ireland & England. & yes, it does show up in family histories. Just thinking of all the babies that died in infancy not to mention miscarriages. For infants as a cause of death you will see things like wasting disease. Our family is full of those problems. My father had a twin sister that...

    there seems to be a couple of people on here or the same person that takes it upon themselves to tell others what they are feeling etc. It is my personal opinion that their words will come back to bite them in the fanny !!! I have gotten so sensitive to gluten that I cannot use any shampoo that has gluten or I get sores in my head & I do not have...

    re babies being born with celiac. During World War II they knew that babies were born with celiac & they put them on a diet of rice, bananas & one other thing, some kids ate this for years. The medical doctors thought this was a childrens disease and that you outgrew it. What really happened is the babies died or they lived, the ones that lived...

    Some of us are so sensitive that we cannot live in a "mixed house". If your fiancee is really supportive he will not have any gluten in the house & he will wash his hands upon entering said house & brush teeth. This will get worse once you have children, if you plan to have children, so maybe you two should get this figured out now. I totally think...

    Doll, I think that you are doing a dis-service to telling people that it is a myth that you are born with celiac. Can you prove that no child has ever been born with celiac? I think not, if you have read these boards. Do you have children? Were they all born healthy? Well your children might be born healthy because you would not be eating gluten while...

    I personally think that you do not need an official diagnosis. If you live in the United States you cannot deduct the cost of your gluten-free food, only the difference between a gluten-free loaf & a regular loaf & really I do not know anyone that does this, it is just a lot of trouble for not much dollars, plus you would have to itemize & have...

    I have been gluten-free for 3 years, but I have changed my diet so many times due to food allergies that it was really no big deal. I was also mostly wheat free for 10 years before that & oat & barley free for 35 years. But I do understand that it is difficult & agree with everyone else that you have to go cold turkey. If you get the tiniest...

    Hi I am double DQ1 & my grandson is also & one granddaughter we are the only ones that have done the test thru Enterolab. I do have a sister that has double DQ1. Me: continuous "colic" when I was born, childhood = bone pains, anemic, broke several bones, tired constantly, very bad hayfever stuff, slept a lot, introverted book reader, bad vision...

    Some of us that are super sensitive - me, do not eat many processed foods, I am almost grain free except for some rice & corn. I do no eat any packaged gluten-free product - I will get sick everytime. So yes, I am gluten-free because I make everything I eat - from scratch. For instance I take a can of tomato paste & seson to make my ketchup....

    This is just my personal opinion but I think that more & more people are seeing this as true for themselves personally. I think that almost all IBS, Crohns, MS, Colitis etc etc. is just a symptom of celiac. I think that gluten & for the most part wheat is killing more people than anyone can imagine (well except for me, the picture looks perfectly...

    Having slighly flattened villi in relation to celiac is like being slightly pregnant. Ya got to love these docs re wine well it could be a bunch of things like nitrates etc. I cannot drink wine either. I have also battled food allergies my whole life. I was 10 years mostly wheat free - thinking an allergy, now gluten-free for 3 years &...

    yes, a lot of people feel better after a day or two gluten-free. Re Crohns: From my support group: There is a lady vet that worked with another vet that had celiac. She started baking gluten-free birthday cakes so that he & his celiac daughter could eat the cake. She did this for several years, then 5 years ago she went into the gluten-free cake...

    If you want to be healthy you need to find another job. You will not be gluten-free working in a bakery, period.

    I feel for you. But a negative blood test does not mean you do not have full blown celiac. You can have a negative blood test & total villi atrophy. If I was you I would just test thru Enterolab.com (I need to make a signature for myself with that in it!!) You can get tested for soy, gluten, egg (I think) & dairy all at the same time & you...

    I am not a lyme expert so will not address that except to say that I have read enough over the last few years to know that you should get tested for it - by a specialist. for the gluten side - I would just test thru Enterolab.com & be done with that part. Stop feeding her any grains - except maybe some rice & no dairy, immediately & then see...

    Whem you ask for gluten free you also have to say severe allergy, the restaurants understand allergy. A lot of them have no clue about gluten-free. Also, ALWAYS ask to speak to the manager, most managers know how to take care to get you a gluten-free meal.
  24. gfpaperdoll
    Make a list of the foods that you CAN eat, we sometimes forget some!! My food allergies got better after I was gluten-free for awhile. Yours will probably get better also...
