I am Catholic and just recieve wine at communion. Recently due to H1N1 flu worries my parish stopped providing wine at communion. As a Catholic this was very disturbing to me as I would be unable to recieve the eucharist which a vital part of our belief system. My church does provide a gluten free host but you have to arrive at church early enough...

I agree completely. I feel that I have probably healed to the point of no longer reacting. However I feel that it would be only a matter of time until the damaged resumed. Therefore I will remain on the diet. However on the day my daughter gets married I will eat cake at her wedding. I think in my situation it will do me no long term harm to eat what...

Ok was diagnosed in Feb 2007. I had a positive antibody test and positive biopsy and I also have a family history with celiac. Have been on diet for over a year and a half. Prior to diagnosis I had bloating, constipation regularly and occasional loose stools with sever cramps, maybe twice a year. I have never been as sick as many on this board. After...

The answer to your question is yes. I am not very symptomatic and was not before I was diagnosed. The only reason I got the diagnosis is my family history. Anyways I had a few episodes a year maybe 2-3 for the past few years. These episodes included severe cramps, stabbing abdominal pain, fatty stool and feeling crappy. They would last a few days at...

I was not very symptomatic before I was diagnosed. I have been gluten-free since 02/2007 and have noticed that now if I consume something unknowingly containing Gluten my reaction are more severe compared to my condition before going gluten-free. It is simply that my body became somewhat tollerant of the constant gluten in my diet. Now that its gone is...

One of my best friends is a G.I. Unfortunately not local to me anymore. I told him I had a positive blood test and he refered me to the head of his old practice. That Dr. has been mostly great. His stepdaughter is Celiac and apparently very sensitive so his advice is some what slanted by that experience. He feels that nothing should be chanced but that...

My wife found Gluten Free Gnocchi at Central Market here in Houston. I don't remember the maker but it was damn good. By they way you can find wheat free soy sauce. HEB, Whole Foods, Randalls, Central Market and others around here carry Jsan Wheat Free Soy Sauce. It has a slightly stronger taste than the other stuff but works just great. My wife...

The night before my Endoscope I ate an entire Large Pepperoni, Sausage, Mushroom and X-cheese deep dish pizza from Star Pizza and two pitchers of Shiner Bock Beer. I felt fine the next morning for my procedure and was fine that afternoon. Got sick as a dog that night. Absolutely worth it!!!!!

I have tried them and also regular oats. I have had no reactions. However I will not vouch that you will not. There is a continous debate about oats on this board and in the research community. The trend has been that oats do not contain the gluten protien chain that causes the reaction in Celiacs. The problem lies more with the issues that oats are...

I would get into a GI immediately. You could have developed refractive sprue which can be very serious and require more dramatic treatment than just going gluten-free. The very next thing I would do is get a very good personal injury attorney and sue the son of a jerk that didn't relay the results and provide guidance to effective treatments. This is...

I had a positive blood test in late March during a physical. I stupidly asked for the test to be done since I had a family history. However I did have some symptoms but very mildly. I was scheduled for a Biopsy/Endoscope for early May and had been as gluten free as I could until then. The night before I went and ate at my favourite Pizza place here in...

I have been gluten free since March 2007. I had my Endscope/biopsy done May 2, 2007. After consultation with my doctor he told me to stay off oats until my next endoscope. His argument goes along with what has been said above. It's a significant cross contamination problem. That being said before I was diagnosed I ate oatmeal almost everyday in my company...

Valda, I was not speaking of necessarily this posting. I have seen many on here that would be very intimidating to someone completely new to this. I have experience with this with my father and the struggles he went through. As mother goose said there are several people on this board that have other issues that slant what they say and how they say it...

Thanks, NoGluGirl Fortunately I had a pretty idea of what is good and not good. I will gladly add your list to the others that I have compiled. I put them all in Excel then sort them and eliminate the duplicates.
