Okay. Thanks for clarifying. Boy, that is frustrating. I just know that something that is a constant in our diet is causing these problem...just don't know what:( So we'll get the celiac panel. Darn. Thanks!

Well, the husband and I are going to the dr on friday...while my little daughter is going in January. I really want to have a panel run that includes ALL of the "major" intollerances and allergies. gluten, casien, soy, corn, etc. Is there a list somewhere of exactly which tests to ask for? I have been browsing around and I'm still not sure exactly which...

I bought soem of these. Some of the varieties had wheat in them--but some didnot. I got applecinnamon and caremel I think. We are just starting so go gluten free--so I wouldn't recognize if these hurt us or not. Does anyone else get these? BTW--the kids LOVED eating "cake" for lunch. Rice cake w/ peanut butter and banana slices

MY Dh takes digestive enzymes whenever he eats becuse he has had pancreatitis several times(I know some folks on here have had it as well). He takes lipase which is the generic for creon. Does anyone know about these? We do a mail order so we don't have a "pharmacist". Would a grocery store pharmacist know or be able to find out about various drugs?...

We have been giving some concideration to growing our own hull-less oats next year. I guess by then we will know iff the gluten free diet has benefited us and introducing oats will be like the ultimate test...if we grow them our selves--there is NO risk of contamination-- I think you can get them from teritorial seed. Maybe we will even have extra Christina...

Wow. Is KP another un-classic symptom of GI? My Dd has had this for years. On her face! Mostly the cheeks. I've found that it helps to use something slightly abrasive--then a gentlr clenser like cetaphil. THEN a good moisterizer like eucerine. I kept thinking it was acne--but it is reated to dry skin issues, the bumps are plugged folicles. Sometimes...

Thanks! I'm having my dh print that off at work--it wouldn't do it at home for soem reason. We are "transitioning right now. I was at whole foods to buy some flours etc--wow! I got almost nothing for 40 dollars! Does anyone here buy the whole grains and grind them at home to save money? I noticed that the cost of the whole grain was about half the...

My daughter is almost 8. She was born premmie and wasn't able to nurse...she reacted strongly to formula and was place on soy(which was still a bit of an issue). She always seemed to react to new foods and constantly had illnesses and diaper rashes as a baby. Since then--she gets sick all of the time! Strep throat at least once a year--and seems...

Well thank you, everyone...I do think it would be logical to try the diet w/out the bloodwork first. Our family and friend already think we are crazy because we "eat healthy" and my daughter has chemical sensitivities that make it difficult for us to go certain places("but she looks fine to me...") I'm happy to hear about gluten free oats--I hadn...

Hi all. I am new to this site--but not new to the thought that my family suffers from glutin intolerance. Is it crazy to think that all four of us have this?!? Here are the major symptoms: Husband: 28 years old, has had acute idiopathic pancreatitis at least 6 times, has ALWAYS had bowel issues(loose stools, frequent trips to BR, lots of gas)...
