    You make a great point about grains. My mother in law has been pushing me to put rice cereal on his bottle to sleep longer at night, but I won't do it, I refuse to add a choke hazard not to mention I knew what I was getting into when I decided to have a baby. He sleeps well anyway. If I do start him.at 4months it will be on vegetables/fruit. (Mashed of course...

    My baby boy is 3 months old, he has a heart condition and just had open heart surgery, so I'm a little skeptic about trying new things with him. Now his Pediatrician knows that I have Celiac but she has told me I should introduce gluten at 4 months. My idea before he was born was to not introduce him until he could tell me how he feels. What do you all think...

    Hi Gillian, I was just wondering the same, is it or is it not gluten free? I just read on their website that it is gluten free, yet I see a lot of people posting that they get symptoms of glutening when taking Pamprin. Yesterday I bought some without even thinking about the gluten, and took it while I was really full and felt bloated after but thought it...

    Hi Lymie, I can sympathize with you! Right about the same time i was diagnosed with Celiac about a year and a half ago I began with a pain on the left ribcage, eventually it got worse and landed me in the ER several times, it went up to the shoulder, arm and chest and of course I was really scared, I've had xrays, EKG's and everything comes back normal. I...

    It's happened to me several times, one time I took a bite out of something and for some reason in my mind i swore i could "taste" gluten, I dont know, weird, pick up the package and read the label for a second time, and surely enough it had gluten, needless to say I spit it right out! and washed my mouth, I was lucky enough not to swallow any that time. ...

    Before I got diagnosed I would throw up every day several times a day, I always carried plastic bags in the car and still do because when I do get glutened, even the smallest amount, I surely throw up, but not before being bloated to the point where I look pregnant and of course the whole feeling of depression, painfulness everywhere, etc that comes with...

    Hi and welcome! This has been the most helpful website for me regarding gluten. It's great that you finally got your diagnosis, I never got a final diagnosis but every time I eat a tiny amount of gluten I'm sick for days, that's enough diagnosis for me! Healing your intestines is going to take a loooong time, and so will everything else, so it is...

    paula, the book by Dr Green is called Celiac Disease: a Hidden Epidemic, if that's the one you're talking about, I have it right in front of me! it is a great book and I highly recommend it. You can rent it from a Library if you dont want to buy it.

    Hi milelj, the consequences of continuing a regular diet with gluten are huge and different for each individual. Let me name a few of the complications you could face in the future if you were to continue this diet: -Other Autoimmune disorders like Thyroid disease, Diabetes, Rheumathoid Arthritis, I've heard people can develop Lupus as well, Fibromialgia...

    Hi Foodie, welcome to the gluten free world I have to agree with lizzard here that you must see a doctor before you start your diet, I made the mistake of starting the diet with only a diagnosis from Enterolab, now no doctor wants to believe I have Celiac even though I have all the symptoms and then some, not to mention the fact that one breadcrum gets me...

    ugh, so I also have about 7 months to go? well not completely gluten free though because I had a few unfortunate glutenings that of course were not intentional, but let me tell you I would have the worst anxiety when i got glutened. Now I'm on Clonazepam for panic attacks and in like a month I'm going to see a psychologist I am happy about that though and...

    I know what you are going through, I was a mess at first, so scattered I didn't know what to eat, how to make it, besides I have diabetes so somethings are still forbidden. I found that Gluten Free Pantry brand carries a bread mix called French Bread and Pizza mix, if you see it, buy it, it makes a delicious pizza, by the way, dont try mixing it with your...

    Zinc deficiency is actually common in Celiac, as are many other deficiencies like B12. Here's a website that I found very interesting Open Original Shared Link and it also talks about zinc deficiency. AJ

    Well, they have mixes for all kind of stuff out there, where do you live? here in Texas we can find gluten free stuff in Kroger's also in HEB but that store is in Texas only, you can also buy online. There's gluten free cereals, breads, muffins, pancakes, waffles. For bread you will find that if you buy it already made it's going to suck, so the best bet...

    You could eat fruit for breakfast, I'm crazy though and i will always eat fruit and an egg [or bacon] for breakfast, use corn tortillas to make wraps for lunch [such as ham/cheese/lettuce wrap, or chicken wrap], I always have a box of instant mashed potatoes at home, eat veggies too.

    I, too lost weight because of anxiety, for about two weeks it got so bad I wasn't eating, just trying to eat watery stuff, otherwise it would make me sick, everything made me sick but that's the main thing with panic attacks, they give me pretty bad nausea so a lot of the times I throw up. For a while it was as if I was even afraid to eat, I've gotten a lot...

    I know how you feel and I know it sucks, before I went gluten free I used to have a lot of anxiety and for about a year I had panic attacks, once I started on the diet they kind of went away for a while, then came back because of another health issue and, just like you, I would worry so much about being sick that i would start panicking all the time, I have...

    Well my mom in that sense is extra careful, she doesn't want me to be near her table when she's cooking with flour because she's scared I might inhale some flour, but it does bother me when there's something that has gluten and that I know is really yummy and I can't have it, for example bread rolls that smell so wonderful and I have to sit and watch everyone...

    I am confused too, as far as I know prognosis means the prediction of the course of the disease... what does it consist of?

    I live in Houston, sometimes its hard to find places to shop/eat but eventually you'll get used to it.

    I'll probably have to end up buying two different milks, my husband is weird about his food and he even looks at it weird when i buy lactose free milk, maybe if i make him trying without knowing he will eat it ;] You're right Mississippi, it could be rosacea, never thought of it even though i've heard of it. The rash looks exactly like the butterfly rash...

    Ugh I understand what you mean, I remember my husband's brother wedding, we get to the banket and all they had was spaghetti, pasta sauce and chicken with gravy! there was also lettuce salad and a few fruit pieces, since i'm also diabetic i had to have carbs to keep me from going too low so my dinner consisted of salad and fruit of course i couldn't drink...

    Harobed if you don't like the gluten free breads that come already cooked [which i also HATE] you MUST try Glutino's gluten free French Bread mix, it can also be used to make pizza, i have made only bread with it and it tastes sooo good, it is better to use a bread machine but you can also make it by hand. Here's a link to the one I'm talking about Open Original...

    I will try that and see if it improves, does the rash have to be itchy? because mine doesn't itch it just gets more noticeable certain days more than others. I did switch to lactose free milk and it doesn't upset my stomach but the rash is still there so it makes sense that it could be casein. Do you know of any substitutes to dairy products or do I have...
