    Man, I don't know anything about that, but I wouldn't eat them!

    Everyone is different and your system needs to clear and heal. My symptoms went away very fast but my body was healing and I couldn't eat spice or acid for weeks. My Brother and Mom took longer to see results. It is also hard to be 100% gluten-free right away. Slip ups are so easy and it's a real learning experience.

    For me, it was like a new world for me right away. The symptoms were just gone! I was so lucky but it caused me loads of anxiety. I couldn't believe that my symptoms could be truly gone so fast. Everyone is different, though. If you want to be tested, you have to be eating gluten, though, to get best results.

    DH is Dermatitis Herpetiformis and it is a skin condition associated with Celiac Disease.

    Very cool.

    Oh, I love risotto and stir fry. Since it is nicer weather you should be able to get some delicious fresh veggies! You could do some grilling: kebabs or just veggies like egg plant, asparagus, potatoes, etc. Pasta is always an option, too, or even a loaded veggie pizza! The possibilities are endless, really. Have fun!

    No, there is no varying of Celiac Disease. If you have it, you have it. Your baby girl needs to be 100% gluten-free. This, however, does not mean your family has to be. As long as you keep her stuff separate, then you're fine. Some families find it easier to all be gluten-free. My family is 3 out of 4 Celiac but my Father isn't gluten-free. I live...

    Actually, it seems like it goes either way. Loads of people lose weight (like me) and others gain it right away. It is probably just our bodies having reactions to not being ill anymore. Now I have problems keeping the weight off!

    It is good that you are trying to find answers. If you are going to be tested then you must continue eating gluten everyday in order to have more accurate results. Symptoms to eating gluten when you have Celiac Disease suck. They can include long tummy aches and needing constant sleep. Sorry to hear your doctor is crap. Hopefully you can find another...

    Well, Celiac Disease does come with a lot of symptoms. It sounds like some are common but others you have I have never heard of. Hopefully your biopsy brings some answers.

    Mmm, sounds yummie! Good way to use extra produce, too.

    Last time I was there was years ago and I was not a vegan, yet, so I took advantage of the sea food and ate a lot of plain, fresh fish wherever we went. Sorry I can't be more specific! Have fun!

    Good to hear!

    The best part about NYC now is being able to eat, ha! Thanks for your recommendations!

    Hello! First off, wheat will always have gluten but gluten won't always have wheat. As for casein and lactose. . .you can't really separate those since they are both in milk. Try keeping a food journal and doing an elimination diet.
  16. MySuicidalTurtle
    Whoa, that sounds like a great deal! Let us know how it tastes.
  17. MySuicidalTurtle
    Hello! If you are really scared, you could always stock up on some items to take with you or buy there. Then, you could eat in your room and when everyone goes out to eat just join in for the fun and conversation. You could also try to just do a plain baked potato and salad, etc. It will be hard and frustrating but you can do it! Good luck and have fun...

    Hello! There is no harm in asking for some tests. Your symptoms do sound like Celiac Disease. We all do not have the same, or even "classic," symptoms. 3 of us in my family are diagnosed and all 3 of us have different symptoms.
  19. MySuicidalTurtle
    Hello, welcome to the board! If you are planning on having more tests then you need to eat gluten. If you go off, then the test may be wrong. Good luck!
  20. MySuicidalTurtle
    The only reasons to get officially diagnosed because you want to or are required medical proof for something. You can start an elimination diet and decide if the results are worth it.

    Hello! I think you'll find a lot of your answers in this forum. Just take a glance at the restaurants section and the shopping one, too. Regular oil is fine, regular spices like salt and peper will be fine. Always read the ingredients. No wheat, barley, gluten, rye, nor oats! It is hard becoming gluten-free, so, try sticking to naturally gluten-free...

    It really is hard going gluten-free, especially when it is a family thing, too. My Mom, my Brother, and I all have Celiac Disease. To be honest, our lives would have been MUCH better if we were diagnosed young. Going through school sick is the worst. At least when you know the problem, you can own it as part of your life, share it, and be healthy. There...

    Hello! There is plenty of gluten-free and dairy-free cheese. . .even some that melt! The past few years have just been great in that industry. I am a gluten-free vegan, so, I don't do dairy, either. I just had pizza this weekend, using a soy based cheese. It was great. The Celiac gene is different than say eye colour. However, I suffered my whole...

    It takes awhile to get used to this new lifestyle. I like to make replicas of things I can't eat now. Even something as simple as pudding (gluten and casein-free)! You know you're much better off without the food but that doesn't mean you can't have the gluten-free equivalent. Without Celiac Disease, I may never have become the cook I am today!
  25. MySuicidalTurtle
    That sounds lovely!
