    I would like to find out more about red wines, i like to drink that more than white. I have not seen very many broths that have thickener in them. I see almost all soups do. but every broth lable i've read doesn't mention it. am i missing that. I see broth as a being a no-no everywhere, but is there something hidden?

    I went to a party this past weekend and met a fellow celiac sufferer. He told me a couple things his doctor told him. I have read 3 books on the subject, and when I meet other Celiac, I get different information than I've ever read anywhere. He told me he got the tip from his doctor that if he was ever glutened, or wanted to cheat that all he needed to...

    I'm going to chime it as well. I've gotten so dizzy that i have to close my eyes sometimes to stop the room from spinning. I was thinking that it might be allergies here. but if you all are getting this and being newly gluten-free, maybe it's a symptom of being gluten-free? I was gonig to ask my doc in April when i go to my follow up.

    I bet it was a coincidental, I got glutened after going gluten-free and within a half hour I was in the bathroom. Your cold was probably already brewing. You might be sensitive to Ibuprofren, especially if you're allergic to asprin or any thing that is related to asprin. and sensitivities can just show up at any time in your life. It's worth it keeping...

    Could i really not have allergies anymore? is this possible? the pollen count is the highest it's been, record highs actually. and i haven't had a symptom. I've suffered all my life with allergies in the spring. I see everyone around me sneezing etc, my daughter's eyes are swollen. she's miserable and that was me all my life. I was diagnosed in October and...

    I had the same experience recently as well and no one was so excited as me. Congrats on your new found poo experience. I am still happy about mine

    Rice tortillas? where do you find those? are they good or are they dry and crack when you fold them? i really miss tortillas a lot. that's the hard part finding a substitute, corn are not the same. fresh corn ones are good, but i don't see myself making any anytime soon. really, ever.

    kbabe, i totaly understand where you're coming from. I was a waitress too and know any extra questions or demands are a pain as your'e trying to help 30 other people at the same time and then the cook is yeling at you to pick up your orders. I feel as though, i'm going out in public, this isn't my house, i really can't expet things to be exactly how i...

    I had a positive blood test and a slight flattening of my villi in the biopsy results. My Dr. felt it was definitive Celiac. I often wonder if he wuold have felt like that had i not told him my family history, my mom and nephew with it. I really don't want to have this diagnosis. I find it hard to adhere to the diet. I told my dad, maybe the dr. was wrong...

    Here's a question then. Will any symptoms I had that were always thought of as due to my gall bladder clear up? I didn't have it removed, i was told i had a sludge, but no stones were visible. I had terrible pain , but i was very very reluctant to have the surgery and gave all kinds of reasons not to. I dn't have the symptoms very much at all anymore, i'm...

    and endoscopy. It was was so much easier than i really anticipated. my stomach pain and the runs were worse than any of the cleansing i had to do. the stuff tasted bad, i threw up one cup of it but really it was because i drank too much all at once. tried to finish a quart in one sitting. (note: don't do this). but any discomfort in the bowels was not a...

    Nini, are you off of the meds now? that's so great about BP. that's anohter benefit of feeling good.

    well, i've been gluten free since Saturday the 18th... i've had bad headaches, lightheadedness and just odd feelings, like my body is acting up on me. I can't identify what i've been feeling. I had an appt. for a physical and I talked to my GP about all this and she genuinely seemed happy that we discovered what my life long health problems have been. and...

    you need to be gluten free... i went to the gastroentrologist today.. he was great, I really liked how friendly and personable he was. He looked at my test, which really what i'd read here wasn't all that definitive, and said without taking a biopsy, you have it, i'm sure.. even if I got back a biopsy result and it was negative, i'd say you still had it...

    I decided to go ahead and see the Gastro Enterologist and discuss the biopsy. In the meantime i've got the bad pains in my stomach and i've developed a new symptom i haven't had before ever. my lower groin/intestinal/stomach area has shooting pains that go down my thighs. it's kinda scaring me. I'd read a mention about tingling hands and legs.. is this pain...

    I was the one who asked if a biopsy was really necessary. I had made an appointment and was chickening out because of my fear of anesthetic etc. I have to wait a while before i see the doc again so i need help from people who know. The other problem is i really want to try the gluten free diet, but do I have to continue to eat gluten until i have the...

    my doctor doesn't seem to know a lot about it, she was rather skeptical about me having it. She asked, "why did you want the test for this?", and i told her my nephew tested positive with biopsies and after reading more about it, i saw i have almost every symptom listed on most of the websites i'd read. She said, you aren't anemic and you don't have problems...

    I got my test results in today, and Itested positive. My doctor said in order to have a more complete diagnosis, i should get a biopsy. She said, before starting any gluten free diet, go have a biopsy done. I am not too excited about doing that, but I set up the appt. for it. How important is it to get it done? the test i had done was was the Gliadin Antibody...
