    I don't know much about the saliva test, sorry. "Gluten Free" means no wheat, no barley, no oats, no monosodium glutimate (msg), and some other lesser known grains. Many people with Celiac, also have other food sensitivites, and many fade as intestines heal. They can be, dairy or casien, corn, soy, artfical sweeteners, caffine, raw veggies or eggs...

    "Total villi atrophy" means she probally is not absorbing much nutrients at all and her intestines are pretty much useless. I'm really suprised she had no symtoms with that much damage. My heart goes out to you and your family. I have been on the diet for 3 weeks now, and while it is an adjustment, i'm not finding it hard. Probally because of her diabetes...

    I am in the same boat as you, used to long thick hair, now it's thin and thinning. thank god it's not greying (i'm only 26!). I've been gluten free for 3 weeks today, and in the past week i've noticed less hair in the drain. nothing more with re growth, but just less actively loosing. I also have thin and brittle nails. I expect my nails to take 6 mo,...

    mmm.. I'm lucky to have them nearby, My Parents live about 10 minutes from the bakery itself, but about 20 minutes from the "store front" that is a real bakery. They are moving to a new Facility soon! I love there bread and brownies! I reccomend their stuff 100%!

    I totally would love for more recipies! I have an idea making meatloaf with rice instead of bread crumbs. Kinda like Piggies! (A polish dish... yummy!) I have been eating alot of fat... it was kinda worring me. I guess when you have celiac your prioties are different... fat = good, raw veggies, corn, bread = bad. The good news is most of the fat is...

    That is exactly what i'm worried about! I don't plan on eating the corn stuff often, I don't like the digestive troubles, but If I get all down about the diet, or I need to just feel able to eat something "comfortable" (emotionally, not physically) I would rather turn to big old taco than a big old gluten filled bagel.

    That is what I was worried about, hurting myself. I won't be eating tacos daily...or weekly even. Just when I reallly need a fix. I feel so deprived already, I'm trying to pin down my "look-forward-to" meals. If I have some meals I LIKE, it makes eating all this other bland stuff not so bad.

    I have been gluten free now for 17 days (yay!) and i'm starting to notice that my diet is sucking ( I eat more chocolate than willy wonka) and that i may have some issues with corn and artfical sweeteners. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's a big problem to eat corn even if it goes right though you. I know with gluten, it's damaging to the intesines...

    I've always had a red blochy face. People always thought I was sunburnt, blushing, or ill! Yesterday a co-worker said to me "I noticed scince you started this diet, your not so red-faced anymore!" That made me blush, but he said that this was a differnt kind of red. The red he was talking about is a blotchy "I ate something I'm allergic to" red. Ironic, but...

    I am visiting my parents, and last night my mother and I were talking about what we were going to eat. She wanted Pot Roast, all good ingredents, but they cook it in a cast iron pot... I told my mom that not ok, and my father said to me - "Now your just being rediculous! How could you get GLuten from a pot? I explained to him about cast iron and he said...

    I forgot about Wendy's! I need to see if there is one on my way... Yum Baked potato! Thanks!

    The nuts sound great, but i'm worried about dried fruit and the upcoming summer season... I will try to keep food in the fridge, but I have tendancy to eat them as soon as I can.

    I would love to be able to eat a salad! But It gives me D The only way i'm able to keep veggies in me for any length of time is to eat them as part of a meal (like soup and a side salad) I also am so not a morning person... I've been bringing lunch the last 2 weeks to work, but forgot it 3 times.. can't think right in the morning! I'm getting...

    I have a hetic schedule, I often have no time to go home to eat. Today for example, i'm working 8-5, then I need to be 45 minutes away in an hours time for 6pm. I've done it before with the help of Taco Bell, Burger King and Arby's. This is the first time i'm doing this gluten free, and I'm looking at not being able to eat again when I get home tonight at...

    I'e only been gluten-free a few days, so I may not be in the same "desperation" as you, but the way I look at it is TODAY I'm gluten free, today I don't want to miss my fave TV show because I'm in the Bathroom, I don't want to let my dinner get cold, I don't want my friends to hear the gas rumbling in my belly across the table tonight as we gossip. In the...

    I've been gluten free for one week today (save for some french fries that had an onion ring included in them! - i didn't eat it, just was pissed off that I didn't notice that they had onion rings cooked with them) It's been hard for me to cook. I live in a tiny apartment, with a tiny kitchen with no kitchen space. I would normally order out for lunch (pizza...

    I haven't used immodium for about 2 monthes now.. I have been avoiding it scince the blood work has been done, and totally have not touched it in the past few days. There was a time I took it daily, every morning after my coffee... I switched to decaf and i didn't need it after my coffee every mornining.

    Hi all, I have been gluten free for only 2 days, but I'm still getting D. Before I was diagnosed, I was only getting D when eating pasta, bread and the big ticket items. It would not be unusal for me to go 3-4 days without D by just avoiding pasta and hogies. Now I've eaten no big ticket items scince monday and I feel as if my D is getting worse! Is this...

    I hear you completely! I was diagnosed on friday.. I spent saturday getting drunk (I was in Atlantic City... Free drinks and Gambling get me going!) Sunday crying, and yesterday bingeing on my fave gluten products. Today started my gluten free life, I already gave into a potatoe chip that i didn't check to make sure it was ok, and a girl scout cookie. It...

    My issues with Fruits and Veggies arn't one of taste, it is they arn't tolerated by my digestive system, much like gluten isn't tolerated. Do enjoy salad, but anything more than a side salad with a meal and it goes right though me undigested. Last night I was looking though my cuboard, and I think my fave healthy choice chicken with rice soup is gluten...
