Hi Sarah: I started taking Alli last night. There's nothing on the package to indicate that it contains gluten. For the record: I have NOT been dx'd with celiac or gluten intolerance by a doctor. I believe that I am gluten intolerant based on my experiences with eliminating gluten from my diet - twice on the Atkins diet and once going on a gluten-free...

ARCHIVED I Have Belly Symptoms Today
costellosfriend replied to bakinghomesteader's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi baking: I've been on a gluten free diet for a couple of weeks. I haven't been diagnosed with celiac or gluten intolerance. I just wanted to see if the gluten-free diet would help with some "issues" I'm having. After a short improvement in my problems, I started having a lot of tummy pain, gas, D, strong urge to defecate - more than I had been... -
ARCHIVED Atkins And Celiac

Hopefully she'll let me start adding other foods back in... -

What a great forum! Two helpful replies so quickly! Jeanne, others have recommended South Beach to me also. I may go ahead and switch to it in time. Atkins is tough to stick to. Betsy, I like the idea of gradually adding foods back to my diet. I think I'll stick to Atkins for another week or two, then add foods back one at a time and see what... -
ARCHIVED Atkins And Celiac
costellosfriend posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi all: I'm new here and don't have a diagnosis of celiac. I have a history of tummy problems going back to childhood and even had an upper GI when I was 12 to see if I had an ulcer. In my early 20's a doctor slapped a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome on me (I'm almost 45 now), but I've never really had any special treatment for that. Nor have...
