    I've recently moved to Portland Oregon, and soon will be looking for a new general practitioner. We have Blue Cross insurance, so I have quite a few doctors to choose from. I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to "interview" doctors before choosing them to see how familiar they are with celiac. When I first broached the subject with my old doctor...

    Thank you for the responses. Skylark, I had read on another thread your response with the information about the vitamin supplements. That sounds like a very good idea. I can't afford those at the moment, but if my symptoms come back I will definitely consider that before I try anything else. Lucia, that gives me hope! ravenwoodglass, yes, I discussed...

    In 2003 I was diagnosed with severe depression/anxiety disorder and was prescribed Paxil. It worked wonderfully for me, and I have been on 20mg. per day ever since. In 2006 I discovered that I have celiac, and have been on a gluten-free diet since then. I am currently enjoying excellent health, both mentally and physically. I now want to try to wean myself...

    Does anyone have a recipe that reasonably takes the place of vital wheat gluten? I was thinking I'd like to try make my own versions of vegetarian "meat", just to add some variety to my diet, but I can't find anything to replace the wheat gluten. Of course, I guess that's why all the foods I eat are gluten free, because they don't contain that 'vital gluten...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Hi Nicole, I assume you mean vitamins? Which are you taking that help your symptoms? Lynne

    Thanks for the info and link. And it's actually Open Original Shared Link (not com). I'll forward all of this to my friend.

    I'm researching this for a friend who's daughter has been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I'm celiac myself, as was my mom, with horrible consequences, so when I hear of someone with something like this my first thought is gluten. I can't really find much info on research or connections. Ankylosing Spondylitis is a very debilitating form of arthritis...

    Hi Rachael, I hear you! I've had migraines for 20 years. They pretty much stopped right away after going gluten free. I also had terrible canker sores in my mouth, those too have gone away. I still get a migraine every now and then, and I can always trace it to something I've eaten, because I'm also lactose/casein and soy intolerant. I would recommend...

    Wow, the gene thing is really fascinating. Paula, my brother hasn't been tested (and won't, I'm sure, he doesn't take it all that seriously), but when he was a kid, as well as nosebleeds and being skinny, he also suffered from what was diagnosed as an "ulcer". But then it mysteriously "disappeared". And I was incredibly moody as a kid too, I remember being...

    Migraines were the clue which lead me to celiac. I stopped eating gluten and the migraines went away, then had a blood test which came back negative. But I recently was tested positive through enterolab, so I would suggest trying a gluten-free diet and see if the migraines stop.
  12. LynneM
    Paula, that IS interesting, because my brother used to have terrible nosebleeds when he was a kid and was very skinny, he always said he thought he had a tapeworm. And I don't see a lot of references here to canker sores, although it was one of the questions that enterolab asked about.
  13. LynneM
    Paula, that's very interesting, what were his symptoms that tipped you off? My only really bad symptoms were migraines and canker sores in my mouth, both of which disappeared when I stopped eating gluten. I had the genetic test to see if I was prone to celiac disease, and now I know I can't cheat. Boo hoo:( And foxglove, I got the full test array from...

    I've suffered from depression and anxiety disorder all my life, along with both my parents and two brothers. One brother has taken it all the way to schizophrenia. Isn't gene sharing a wonderful thing?

    Hi, I was just reading some of the other posts and saw some references to double DQ, what is that? Just got my test results today, apparently I do have the main gene that predisposes to celiac and then the other that predisposes to sensitivity. I'm so glad I caught it before I ended up with all the horrible illnesses my mom had. If only I'd known about...

    Happy Birthday LynneM,

    I sure hope it was a very special day for you!

    Hi all, wondering about Enterolab. I've been gluten-free for about 4 months, and a recent blood test came back negative, but I still have strong suspicions about being celiac. I was looking at Enterolab's site, and it says that you don't have to be ingesting gluten for their tests to be accurate. Is that true, has anyone here gotten the test after being...
  18. LynneM
    Thank you all for responding. I've been seeing a lot of references on the boards to Enterolab. I'm going to post a new question about that.
  19. LynneM
    Hello friends: I've been researching here for a couple of months, this is my first post. I just would like to tell my possibly celiac story and get your opinions. I'll try to make it as brief as possible. I've always had headaches, always thought they were sinus related, but in the last year realized that they were migraines. They started getting worse...
