    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Hmm, I guess I left out the part about being soy/cassein/yeast/egg and gluten intolerant. oops. But, I will say, i have been baking up a storm. It's not really about the food per se. it's about being in a restaurant and going to bars with friends, or going to a birthday celebration in a friends dorm room, and generally leading the life of a college...

    I am having the same dilemma you are about being gluten free and don't be fooled by the quote above--you will miss those foods, and you probably won't get the hang of it in a month. I know my username is beoptimistic, but I chose that more to remind myself to be optimistic--I'm more of a realist. I was gluten free for 2 months or so and had to hold...

    Ugg! You sound like me before I went on the pill, except it wasn't every 35 days, it was whenever the hell it felt like coming (ex: every two weeks, then not again for 2 months, etc.) and lasting like u said, 7-9 days. Then again, I was running cross-country and track year round and probably had very low body fat. I could have just been on my way to amenoria...

    My Mom has also had endometriosis and had a hysterechtomy when she was 40. Now she also has MS and many other health problems. I definitely think she's gluten intolerant, but she isn't very receptive to getting tested just yet. I know I have both genes for it, that means she has one. So I wouldn't be surprised. Do you think there was a large connectioin...

    I am so glad I found this thread! I found out that I am gluten/cassein/soy/egg/yeast intolerant a couple of months ago from my Entero Lab results. I am not a full blown celiac. I have always had a very painful heavy and irregular menstral cycle and was put on birth control pills when I was 17. Now I'm 22. Given my age/goals in life, I know I will continue...

    Hi there! My results are similar to yours. I was tested by Entero Labs in February. My results: Fecal Antigliadin IgA 39 (Normal Range <10 Units) Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 55 Units (Normal Range <10 Units) Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score <300 Units (Normal Range <300 Units) Fecal anti-casein (cow

    All of this talk about candida is interesting. I don't know too much about it. Yeast is one of the things that my entero lab results said that I am intolerant to. Until now, I had been ignoring that. Having been newly diagnosed as gluten, cassein, egg soy and yeast intolerant I have been choosing my battles in order to maintain my sanity. I don't worry...

    Thanks to everybody who responded! This is such an active website! Your words are very helpful and comforting. This is a difficult struggle and I know I will continue to have these low points, but it helps to know that I acheiving a more positive outlook is possible, and actually ver necessary. All of you choose to see your lives as changed for the...

    My Mom lives in Mason City; although, I have aunts and uncles in Ames, Des Moines and Iowa City as well. Thanks for that info, I will look into it!

    This is my first post on this site. (and after looking it over, I appologize for its length!) I was convinced to get tested for celiac by my Dad, who has had a lot of trouble, and so have many of my relatives, but now I'm regretting it. I'm 22 and don't have full blown celiac, but I am gluten-intolerant, cassein (cow's milk) intolerant, egg, soy and...
