    I am also on my way to San Diego in about a week. We are staying in Del Mar. So any other suggestions for the Del Mar area would be great. We will be spending quite a bit of time at the fair and I am at a loss as to how to be at the fair and what to eat. I understand that Jimbo's will can make gluten free sandwiches. So I thought of going there to get...

    Hi Jerry, I wondered where you had been and how you were. This is the circumstances in which I now find myself. After having a colonoscopy, an upper endoscopy with biopsy and the most horrible test, enteroclysis, I have been diagnosed by my gastro as being gluten intolerant. I am ok with this. This means I don't have damage if I have an accident. But...

    I really understand your fear and have been there. I had to have the endoscopy done when I was pregant for my first child and they didn't give my anything because I was pregnant! So if I can do that with not even a tylenol, you can do it with drugs. Now, having said that I had to have another endoscopy and colonoscopy just two weeks ago to test for celiac...

    I wish you luck. I had my testing done last week. I had the upper endoscopy with biospy and a colonoscopy on the same day. If they let you get the testing done, the worst part is the prep.

    I went back on gluten about a week before Christmas and I swear I feel worse than I did before. The symptoms started back right away. It has been a very long couple of weeks and I just keep counting the days until my test and gluten freedom. My husband and I went out to eat last week with friends to an italian place. You would have thought I would have...

    Jerry, I personally think you have made the right desision to get biopsied. You have children and you have siblings. You might be the first in your family to find out about this. You are the one who has the opportunity to expose this, if you have celiac. Otherwise, will your siblings listen? And you really, really need to know if you have it because...

    I saw the GI doc yesterday and they are going to schedule a colonoscopy and an upper endoscopy with biopsy to see if I have celiac. So we shall see. Just the waiting and eating lots of bread now. Thank you for the information!

    Not sure where to start. I have had digestive problems for so long I don't remember what it was like being normal. I am in my mid 40's now. At age 23 I had thyroid cancer. I am on synthoid and always high doses. For years I blamed my "diarrhea" problems on to my synthoid. I was so thin my whole life even before the thyroid problems. The last 10 years...
