thanks so much! He is gluten free, as of yesterday. I hope we have great results in a few days like you did! I'll let you know.

I am gluten intolerant - diagnosed about a year ago. One of my two year old twins has had diarrhea for over awhile. Awful smelling, very frequent (4-6 a day), mostly green . . . He is smaller than his twin and also has extreme tantrums. He used to have constipation really bad. I had him tested a year ago (blood testing) and the results were fine. He...

So I now have a few questions: -Should I get tested for celiac disease? Or should I get tested for gluten sensitivity? They're not quite the same thing, are they? It's possible to be gluten sensitive but not have celiac disease? -If I should get tested, how does that work and how do I find a good doctor? Aside from my sleep doctor, I don't have a regular...

I did the gene test from Enterolab exactly two weeks ago. The results came in today - I do not have the celiac sprue gene, but I do have one gene for gluten sensitivity. The analysis reads "Having one of these genes means that each of your offspring has a 50% chance of receiving this gene from you, and at least one of your parents passed it to you." ...

I am going to UPS here in a little bit to mail these swabs back to Enterolab. All the sudden I am anxious about getting the results back SOON! I know people have posted that it takes three weeks. Can't wait . . .

So I ordered the gene test from Enterolab today. Will this test tell me all I need to know?? Or is there a reason I should do the stool tests too? My mom has two autoimmune disorders - one newly diagnosed. My niece has tested positive for gluten sensitivity.

Hello! I gained 67lbs while I was pregnant with the twins. I lost 30lbs of it in the first few weeks. Here it is eleven, yes, eleven months later with still 37lbs to go. My niece has been DNA tested and is gluten intolerant. Her doctor said that my sister more than likely also is, due to her symptoms. The doc then said that our mother probably is...

I got my Gluten Free for Dummies book today. It has been pretty useful. B: meal replacement bar L: Smart Ones meal D: Eggs S: Protein Shake Exercise: 1 mile on treadmill

Back from a gluten filled vacation - why in the world do I keep doing this to myself? I have been gluten free again since Saturday, but I feel so frustrated with myself. Of course, I did zero exercise either. I will start exercising tonight. I have a goal to exercise at least 4 times a week - cardio and resistance. I am waiting until our next weigh...

I was glutened yesterday - I woke up this morning feeling lethargic. All I want to do is stay in bed, but with four kids that is not going to happen. Does anyone have the Gluten free for Dummies book? What do you think about it? I have thought of buying it, but wanted some opinions first. I also try to keep a count of calories. I just have an idea...

Weigh in day! I am down four pounds since going gluten free. I have just started to work out again, so hopefully I can lose more before the next weigh-in. I would like to lose at least 2lbs a week. I have such a long way to go to get to my goal. Weigh in 7/6: -4

Today's meals: B: Protein Shake S: protein bar L: Wendy's Southwest Taco Salad S: gluten free cereal D: Smart Ones meal with Fritos Exercise: Upper body resistance, plus 25 minutes on treadmill. I forgot that weigh in day was tomorrow! Maybe I should get back on the treadmill!!

Ate pretty much the same thing as the day before: B: Protein shake L: Rice, beans, zucchini and cheese S: Meal replacement bar D: Protein shake Total cals: 1150 20 minutes on treadmill, plus a few crunches and leg lifts.

The Smart Ones Sante Fe rice and beans meal is gluten free. Does anyone know of any other of their meals/entrees that are gluten-free? I like being able to throw something in the microwave.
