Thanks for the info!

That is what I'm hoping! I have been struggling for so long with nausea, severe bloating, early fullness, regurgitation, etc., as well as asthma, recurring yeast infections and thrush, frequent respiratory infections, orthostatic hypotension, iron anemia and magnesium deficiency. I'm so hopeful that gluten-free will be the answer I've been searching for...

I've just started with gluten-free and I'm having a hard time because I also have gastroparesis. For that, I have to eat small amounts of low-fat and low-fiber foods, no fresh fruits or vegetables and meat and poultry makes me really nauseous. My diet for the past two years has consisted mostly of sugary cereals and skim milk, white bread/crackers, low...

ARCHIVED Food Allergies - How To Get Tested?
crysmz1981 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't know if this is the right place to post this question...but I'll give it a try anyway. I'm still waiting to find out based on more tests whether or not I actually have celiac. If I don't, I'm interested in checking for food allergies (wheat, soy, etc.) because I'm pretty sure something is not right. How do you get tested for these things? ... -
ARCHIVED Is It Really Celiac Disease?
crysmz1981 replied to crysmz1981's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
They gave me a copy of the results and here is what it says: Gliadin IgG AB - 31 (Moderate to Strong Positive: >30 units) Gliadin IgA AB - 2 (Negative: <20 units) Now I'm even more confused. I hadn't looked at this very closely and didn't realize that one was positive and one was negative. What does that mean?? -
ARCHIVED Edy's Sherbert, Starbucks Beverages
crysmz1981 replied to Kiki2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Is the hot chocolate at Starbucks gluten free? I ask because I was under the impression that a hot chocolate was made the same as a mocha, except without the espresso. So if the mocha is in question...is the hot chocolate in question, as well? I sure hope not. I just started gluten free and I don't know if I can live without my hot chocolate! -
ARCHIVED Brown Cow Low-fat/non-fat Yogurt
crysmz1981 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm brand new to the gluten-free diet and feeling a bit overwhelmed! I went to Wild Oats last night to stock up but now I'm unsure about the yogurt I bought. I bought Brown Cow low-fat key lime, low-fat maple, and fat-free vanilla varieties. I read the label and didn't see anything that would indicate gluten, but it also doesn't say "gluten free,"... -
ARCHIVED Lump In Throat
crysmz1981 replied to nama shivaya's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi there, I don't know much about this from a gluten standpoint as I have just been (I think) diagnosed with Celiac, but I had a feeling of a lump in my throat before I started taking medicine for acid reflux. I didn't have heartburn at all - just always felt like there was something stuck in my throat. I could eat, swallow, and breathe fine - it... -
ARCHIVED Is It Really Celiac Disease?
crysmz1981 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I've been having digestive problems for several years and was diagnosed with gastroparesis about two years ago. I have been chronically iron deficient so I recently saw a hematologist for iron infusions. She did a blood test for Celiac Sprue which came in the "moderate to strongly positive range." It was 31, and she said above 30 is in that range. I was...
