    So sorry to read about your family member's tragic event and the sadness this brings. To respond to your question, I recently had an appointment with a registered dietician for the purpose of discussing gluten and meal replacements. She ensured me that the branded products like ENSURE and BOOST are indeed gluten-free. These liquids, I would think...

    Hi! I'm from Grand Rapids. Have you been to the Piece of Cake bakery for many products and would this be worth the drive on Tuesdays?

    The website for the Piece of Cake bakery in East Lansing Michigan lists regular cookies at $20.00 per batch which is about 2 dozen. The quite beautiful holiday cookies were the very costly ones shown on the website. Their list of items seems quite extensive and rather reasonable to me. The bread is $17.00 for 4 loaves which is less costly than buying...

    You asked about symptoms? For over threee years (including two hospitalizations of one week each) I had truly disabling diarrhea and horrible fatigue. I gave up a very solid career of over 18 years due to this illness.

    Thanks for your advice about Dr. Peter Green's book. I bought it last month and passed it along to another Celiac friend. I was gluten-free for about 4-6 weeks before the biopsy. Is that short length of time sufficient to produce a false negative? My GI guy thought that I would still show villious damage due to the fact I was symptomatic for over...

    I'm new to this gluten-free diet and am experiencing severe hot temperature swings (surprising since I live in cold Michigan). What is the etiology of this? At a recent celiac disease support group meeting, one person mentioned this was a huge issue for her and had nothing to do with 'female issues'. What is the best thing to do about it as this is...

    I was told in late October of 2006 that I have Celiac Disease. This was by a colo-rectal specialist saying this based on my 3 year history of symptoms and 2 hospitalizations (and low vitamin D). It was recommended at that point to go gluten-free which I did. Two weeks later his nurse called to say my blood work was "positive" and that at some point I...

    AutumnE, I live in Grand Rapids, MI and wonderful if you feel she is worth the drive? I'm not sure of any of the allergists in my area. Thanks, Melissa

    According to the Kraft Foods website, Athenos brand blue cheese is on the gluten-free list. Hope this helps.

    Pauliina, Thanks for the newbie kit! I have spent the last week on this site learning so much. Is it common for celiacs to have low Vitamin D levels? I'm a chemist by training and had absolutely no idea how complex the diet issues are - especially for someone who loves to cook.

    I was just diagnosed last week with celiac disease. After 3 years of extensive invasive testing and 2 dreadful hospitalizations I found a newly trained colo-rectal physician who was willing to see me without a PCP (primary care physician) referral. In less than 5 minutes of listening to my history he said the blood work would provide additional documentation...
