Hi Just met someone today who's son was diagnosed with Celiac and his only symptom was alopecia. You could have a genetic HLA typing blood test (usually covered by insurance companies if there is a 1st degree relative with celiac- please check). If she doesn't carry the gen then no problem but if she does then I would follow annually with blood tests and...

I am so glad you brought up the "grape" artificial coloring. My daughter, who has Celiac has suffered on and off with green poop for years, she is now 10. When talking to my mother-in-law a few years ago, she mentioned to me that my husband had green poop as a child after eating anything with artificial grape flavoring (jelly, jam, kool-aid, grape flavored...

Hi- Could you possibly get the bloodwork order and for about 6-8 weeks eat barley and rye every day with the hopes of getting enough gluten in your system to triger a response? Then you could go to a lab for the blood work. Take Care

I had an endoscopy today. The impression says..... Subtle scalloping of the duodenal folds noted. Multiple cold biopsies were obtained. Evidence of nonerosive gastritis of the antrum. The mucosa appeared erythermatous. Multiple random cold biopsies were obtained from the antrum and the body of the stomach. The esophagus appeared normal. I was diagnosed...

Hello, I think the school nurse may be a wonderful resource. My daughter who has Celiac Disease (no official medical paperwork on file either, other than info that I have provided on emergency cards) has difficulty regulating her blood sugar levels. Extreme highs and extreme lows. Needless to say, she can not go too long without a snack, specifically protein...

The same thing happened to my now 9 year old daughter. Can't believe I didn't even think about Celiac as a possible cause. She did have a few cavities so I just chalked it up to bad genes. We have very soft, easily decayed teeth, regardless of care. However, our dentist just cleaned them very well and was able to temporarily whiten them. As long as we go...

Hi, After reading your thread, I instantly thought diabetes. Since both Celiac and Diabetes are autoimmune disorders and often occur simultaneously in individuals, I would mention to the Dr. ASAP and pursue testing. Good Luck

That is wonderful!!!!! Keep up the good work. Does anyone know what number is considered to be elevated? Thank you-

I am sorry to hear that you are going through this difficult situation. When my daughter needed to pack on the pounds, a dietician recommended spreading high fat butter or olive oil on everything, like gluten-free pasta's toast, crackers before feediing it to her. I understand dairy is an issue so I guess olive oil would be a better option. Are...

What are the genes that indicate gluten sensitivity versus the genes that indicate possible predisposition for Celiac Disease? Thank you for any information regarding genes/ HLA typing.

Hello, As far as bread is concerned, I haven't found any brand that is similar to the wheat versions, as far as texture, consistency and taste is concerned. However, my whole family and all of the neighbors kids love Mission corn wraps when browned/sauteed in cooking spray (PAM) approx. 1 minute each side and then lightly salted. We fill them with ham,...

Hello and Welcome, My eight year old has been looking for others to talk to for years but I wouldn't let her explore the teenage only section. She is 8 but VERY mature and VERY knowlegeable on the topic. She has been gluten-free since she was 18 months old. She knows a lot about gluten-free and life. She even educates me about gluten-free issues often...

I read in a magazine where a lady who was getting married gave several bags of a mix called yellow moist cake from "Cause your Special" and her baker made her entire wedding cake gluten free. All of the guest enjoyed the cake. I have used this mix before and think it's wonderful. Congratulations! By the way.. Cause your special is either out of Wisconsin...
