    Thank you so much for the link to the Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies .Wow,they are awesome. I even had my husband (a gluten eater) gobbling them up and he couldn't even tell the difference. I knew they were good when the kids shared some at school and all the kids didn't know they were gluten-free. The texture was very cakey unlike alot of failed...

    I don't know of any "medical" disorders, but I know any time I have ever had any surgery/procedures done,I have encountered the same reaction.

    I'm 4'10" and a size 1. It's great because I can share clothes with my 7 year old!

    When you mentioned "brain fog" that was a relief to me. I am actually going to UCSD next week to a Celiac Center there. I have been eating gluten for 2 days again after being off of it for 6 months. I have felt as if I am drunk or in a daze. I am glad to hear that is a "normal" reaction. I tried explaining this reaction to my husband and I think he thought...

    I found the link health.yahoo.com/topic/digestive/other/article/niddk/Digestive_NIDDK_dig_niddk_Celiac_Disease very interesting.It's funny to see that in Italy it is so prevalent that they automatically test you at 6 yo. I am also Italian 4'10" .I guess that explains my short stature.

    I just looked at my shampoo and gel and sure enough wheat germ and wheat protein was listed on there.Didn't even think about that! Thank you. Another thing that just came to me is I was born missing my left hand and I just read that congenital malformations can occur from parents who are celiac.My dad has suffered what now I believe to be DH for years,just...

    Well gee,do you have a few minutes...symptoms include the itching,all the "tummy troubles",migraines(with the aura),fatigue,blood clotting trouble,psoriasis and the latest losing my hair.I go to see a new GI dr this Weds. hopefully he will be knowledgable in this disease.I need to know 100% if it's celiacs because if it isn't than I need to figure out what...

    So,if I am understanding it correctly,the HLA-DQB1 03(DQ7) and HLA-DQB1 05(DQ5) are not genes that are celiac related?!

    No,I was not diagnosed with DH. The doctor I was going to at the time said it was "hives" and prescribed me prednisone(sp),antihistimines,steroids,etc. My husband(who is a paramedic) also gave me a shot of Benadryl.Nothing helped me,I was itching for 3 1/2 straight months.I went gluten-free and within several days I was relieved.My father also has the same...

    Thanks so much for the welcome. I had a feeling the test would come back negative since I had been gluten-free. I was trying to add some gluten in for the last couple of weeks prior to the test,but it's so hard to go back now (physically).The negative result makes you second guess your own gut feeling though.

    There are no specific numbers expcept for <3 for both IGG and IGA.The only number mentioned was the immunoglobulin A was a 62.

    I actually went through Quest Diagnostics,but I specifically asked for it.

    Hi, I am new to this forum.I was recently tested for Celiacs (of course at my own request).This after 19 years of "IBS" dx. At the beginning of the year when I broke out with DH,I thought I should check into the possibility of Celiacs. Well,long story short...after going gluten-free in April my symptoms have gotten 95% better. I was tested last week and my...
