Yes! Everyone needs to go over to their website and cast a vote! Open Original Shared Link

Whew! I stayed up 'til 2am last night, working on a ... gluten free dairy free soy free egg free cane sugar free Pumpkin Pie! And the only ingredient I was worried about was the vanilla. The forum here is so wonderful. Thanks everyone. Oh, and if you think duplicate answers are useless, they're not. They only serve to confirm...

Open Original Shared Link has a Rice beverage that is "Lacose Free/Cholesterol Free/Gluten Free" that I switched to after discovering Rice Dream's errant labeling problem. I'm pretty happy with it, and I'm excited to try this bread mix! Thanks so much for the heads-up!

Yes, it's definitely possible to have false negative blood results. It happened to me. I went with my "gut" anyway, two months after my negative result, but still with this nagging doubt. I asked the NP about it and he believes the best indicator is how your body responds; NOT what the test results say, so he was all for a trial run, just based on all...

This is an old thread but I just have to add to it! Just today, I bought the book "Dangerous Grains" by Braly & Hoggan, and have been obsessively reading it all evening. In chapter three "Proactively Determining Your Risk," there's a checklist of medical history issues that could point to celiac/gluten sensitivity. The first item on that checklist...

Just a note to say that my "regular" doctor never once mentioned anemia as a problem for me, except to say I was "borderline" because the scale for it is pretty wide. And I've always been "borderline" except during my first pregnancy when I was clearly "low" and only then did the alarm bells sound. In mainstream medicine, if you're on the extreme side of...

Ah yes, I got the same dx from Dr. Wangen, and the same notice about how to differentiate. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot more numbers on the packages than he describes, so I gave up ... confuzled! So anyway, I have switched to maple syrup Sugar, and I get it from the sweetener aisle of my favorite "health food" store, in this case, PCC. There...

I think you've got to use the "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" approach.... you know, where Toula and her mother get her father to agree to something (I forget exactly what it was - letting her go to college or something?), by making it seem like it was his idea in the first place. So I guess one way is to not suggest directly that THEIR problem is caused by...

Thanks so much!

Also, I think you and your sister should get tested ASAP because there's "only" a 50% chance you have it if your mother has it. Better to know one way or the other, rather than worry about the "what if..."

Wowzers! This must be really shocking and upsetting. I found this very informative website (in plain English, not "medical-ese"). Open Original Shared Link This looks very serious -- but not a death sentence; you need to become very in tune with your body and get checked a lot. It seems like a relief that "they" (medical community) know a lot about...

OK I'm sure this has been asked at least a million times: There are so many little shorthand acronyms & abbreviations that people use on the boards...it would be nice if someone would just write up something for the FAQ section, which is where I looked first... I justed wanted to know what "CC" or "CC'd" means. Thanks.

OK wait just a second here! You're upset because you've just learned about another food protein that makes people sick, and your reaction is to say that it's all in their heads? Are you a doctor by any chance??? Because your reaction seems typical of a lot of doctors, when people affected by gluten suggest that their symptoms may be gluten related! What...

Hello, I have just set up a new account on Celiac.com so I could reply to this message. I was very intrigued by your post, and I have a weird story but I'm currently in the "not sure what's going on" stage... Well anyway, here's the deal: I'm a 44 year old woman, and when I was 11-15, I had the most horrible rash on my forearms - painful, itchy and...
