    I'm feeling for both of you and for your children too. I hope that these tests are completed soon, and that all will go well for you as you discover what is really going on with you children. Best wishes and "hang in there!" Welda

    Sarah, your comments about your mom thinking your symptoms were all in your head hit home with me, and perhaps with others. Celiac symptoms present themselves in so many ways, that it sometimes takes years and years to realize what is causing our distress. Family members watching us go through so much pain are often stymied as to know what to think. ...

    I want to add my accolades to the others about Enterolab. My newborn grandson suffered horrible reactions after starting milk formula (stomach distress, severe diarrhea and diaper rash, vomiting, etc.). We notified his doctor, who switched him to soy, then I ordered the Enterolab full spectrum of tests, and we avoided introducing wheat or grains while waiting...

    Hi Shirley, how are you? What is happening with your daughter and son-in-law? I saw a picture and story in the paper about a family in Harbison Canyon, and how they had fought to move in a trailer. I read the story, thinking it might be your family. What an intriguing thought, that your mother wanted to name you Aramgard--we've got to know more about...

    Hillary, I just read through and added to a post on this site (I think the Parents of Celiac Kids section, above this one) that had a lengthy list of foods for kids who have to avoid gluten. It will give you lots of ideas, and will probably spark your own creativity further. I am celiac with allergies to milk, dairy, egg whites and yeast, and learned six...

    "Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey..." I wonder if she wheezed after her meal? That's exactly what I do when eating this milk-related protein, as well as when I ingest casein, butter, cheese, or any other product that is milk or dairy. I learned to avoid wheat and all other grains, then moved on to milk and dairy, then egg...

    Kelly, I feel for you. So many of us have experienced the same route of going doctor to doctor to try to find out what is wrong, with a definitive answer being elusive and seemingly out of reach. I want to assure you that you are not alone in feeling the way you do. Having read so many posts on this site during the past two years that sounded similar to...

    Denise, you have opened my eyes! My daddy died ten years ago January 21st of colon cancer, and I've always felt that my celiac came from him. He drank lots of beer ever since I can remember, then progressed to whiskey (both are made from grain I believe) until he was able to quit, about the last 8 years of his life. Reading your post here convinces me that...

    gf4life, I am also celiac and milk, dairy, egg white and yeast allergic, so taking lunches is a challenge. I eat chicken and turkey breast, shrimp, turkey sausage, salmon, catfish, tuna, chicken hot dogs, various cuts of beef, pork chops, a wide variety of fish, etc. Browse in a fresh meat market by yourself for awhile and you'll begin to see lots...

    Denise, wow, I thought rice cereal would be an innocent enough way to start your four month old on cereal. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with it. We have used Gerber rice cereal for my grandson for the past four months, and he is thriving on it, so I hope that this or another brand works for you. I always use the rice cereal from the box, where...

    Enigma, I have, I have! (Tried a low carb, high protein diet as a way of life.) All my life I was battling my weight, being barely five feet tall and small boned. First I found the Atkins diet during the 1970s but I would lose 20 pounds, then couldn't stay on the diet and would put the weight back on. Halleleujah, in 1996 or so I found The Carbohydrate...

    Lily and Filititi, I also suffered for a long time with depression, but it takes awhile to discover all the foods that may be bothering you, and many times I think the depression comes after eating one of those undiscovered foods, so if you can be very diligent about noting your reaction to each and every food you eat, soon you will find yourselves feeling...

    I've suffered with symptoms of celiac since the age of 8, and now I'm 59. It took years of dealing with specialists, with allergists, with Asthma doctors, etc. to finally realize that they didn't know what to do either. After getting tired of the persistent wheezing, Asthma attacks, depression, mood swings, irritability, ulcers, and hospitalizations...

    Lily, I am so glad that your depression is going away, and I think you'll find yourself less and less depressed as your body reacts to being gluten free (I think you said your tests are over and you are now confirmed). I've been gluten free for several years, and want to mention that you may also be allergic to milk and dairy products, or such things as...
