    I have Addison's Disease and have long suspected a gluten allergy. All my celiac tests were negative. This article (see below) interests me. It is very possible that even the replacement doses of steroids we take for adrenal insufficiency could cause false negatives in celiac testing. I worry more about WHY I have so many autoimmune disorders. I...

    It is maddening to think that I don't have a gluten allergy but need to give up gluten anyway. I already know how difficult the diet is and don't want to do it again. But then, I hear ya! If it worked before...why am I hesitant to just do it again? I guess I am trying to find OTHER reasons for these deficiencies and symptoms. I have an appt with...

    Hi All - Here is my story. Over the years I have had extreme exhaustion, brain fog and frequent B12 deficiency. I have been hypothyroid for years. Since doctors could never help me, I tried giving up wheat several times over the years... each time with some good results. I would doubt that I ever had an allergy in the first place and start eating...

    Thanks all. I am new to all this and will meet with doctor in office for first time since hospital stay. My BP, sodium were both low. And blood sugar. And my brain was not working. I am sure he is testing all the stuff. Of course I have been googling like crazy and learning all about the problems of cortisol, aldosterone and ACTH. I am gluten...

    I just got out of a week in the hospital, was diagnosed with Addison's disease. I am beginning to think there is a definite link to the gluten allergy and Addison's. A little history.. 1) Off and on for past 15-20 years I have had long episodes of weakness. 2) In recent years have tried gluten-free diet twice. 2a) First time, I felt better...

    I think I am looking for moral support. I don't think I can get my 16 year old to listen at this point. So let me worry a little bit and I will be patient with him. History - First, I have celiac and am gluten-free. I was always weak and starving... ate all the time and was obese. Gluten-free now, my brain works again and I have energy. My...

    I am referring to a diet I saw in Woman's Health magazine. A sugar-balancing diet. And seeing whole grain bread made me realize how much I miss it. I've been gluten free for a while now and am looking for some variety. I really like the Kinnikinnick english muffins.. but they are definitely not high fiber. I may try making bread. I will search...

    Thanks Deb. I'm thinking of "grains" like seeds and nuts...but specifically high fiber carbs. The diet recommends high fiber carbs because they take longer to digest. Is there such a thing as high fiber carbs in a gluten free diet? I am looking for a commercially available bread. Thanks, Anne

    A lot of diets I see recommend a piece of whole grain bread. All the gluten-free bread I have tried has very little fiber. Are there any commercially available breads that have a "nutty" texture? Thanks, Anne
