  1. I feel your frustration! I think the problem is the lack of understanding of the disease. I think restaurants are trying to keep up with the Gluten Free thing, but don't take the time to understand and make their staff understand what exactly it is. I ate at Outback last weekend and ordered off the gluten-free menu. When she brought me my salad there was...
  2. Just curious how common gallbladder disease/removal is among celiacs. I took my 14 year old to the doctor today for her stomach problems and she told him her poop is green (she never told me that). He said that it is bile. I am now concerned about her gallbladder. I had mine removed at 22 and I think it made my stomach problems worse. He agreed to run the...
  3. Which one would be low? Mine were... TTG Antibody, IGa - <3 (Negative is <5) Antigliadin Antibody Panel IGA - <3 (Negative is <11) Gliadin Antibody IGG - <3 (Negative is <11) Thanks for the quick response!
  4. I had negative blood work which I ignored and tried the gluten free diet anyway and I am so much better. But, I am reading the book "Celiac Disease a Hidden Epidemic" and he talks about the blood tests that are most accurtate. I can't tell if my doctor did them all. I hope you guys can help because my GP doctor doesn't know anything about Celiac and wouldn...
  5. Ok, I am convinced I have some sort of gluten intolerence but I have some questions and need some advice. I have been on the gluten-free diet for about 4 weeks now (except for a few accidents) and I feel so much better. Before the diet change I had a negative blood test (I think they tested for everything, my results post is gone now) and my very ignorant...
  6. Ok, I am looking for some suggestions to replace the foods I miss the most. I am tired of spending money on un-edible foods and having to throw them away. Flour tortillas.... I tried the brown rice gluten-free tortillas and didn't like them. I am trying to use corn tortillas as much as possible but I really miss the taste of the flour kind. Is this possible...
  7. Thank you all so much for the great sugestions! I am trying to make gluten free meals for the whole family as much as possible. That to me is actually very exciting, to be able to eat a meal with sides and everything! This week we had taquitos, tacos and baked chicken. I went to Trader Joe's with the gluten-free list from their web site and they were so helpful...
  8. Ok, I have been trying gluten-free for about 3 weeks and the first 2 weeks were great! I was skeptical about it working but not only did my stomach problems go away but my headaches did too! That was a huge bonus! Well about 4 days ago I accidently ate something with gluten in it (twice in one day) and my headache has been back ever since. I was thinking...
  9. Question answered, they already moved it. Thanks!
  10. Can you move a message after you post it? I posted a message and realized I put it in the wrong catagory.
  11. Does anyone know of any gluten-free frozen foods? Preferably popular brands (found in grocery store)? I need some quick single serve meals for when I feel like giving in and eating normal food. I have 5 kids and I am the only one trying the gluten free diet so I still cook non gluten-free for them. I try to eat before I cook so I won't be tempted but sometimes...

    ARCHIVED P F Changs

    Does anyone know if PF Changs rice (brown and white) are gluten free? I know rice is ok but do they cook it with something that isn't ok? I ordered off the gluten-free menu but she brought my husbands rice and told me it was mine, then I realized there isn't rice on the gluten-free menu. I feel sick and have a foggy headache. Not sure if I ate something bad...
  13. Does anyone know how accurate Enterolab results are? I see everyone on here talk pretty highly about them, but I am concerned that everyone seems to test positive. Does everyone with stomach problems test positive because our bodies are reacting to something we eat or is it truly a gluten reaction? I am skeptical about everything not just this. I was about...
  14. Ok I talked my allergy doctor into doing the celiac blood tests because my GP wouldn't. Can you help me figure out if he did all the tests he needed to?? TTG Antibody, IGA <3 - says <5 is negative Antigliadin Antibody (IGA) <3 - says <11 is negative Gliadin Antibody (IGG) <3 - says <11 is negative Immunoglobulin A 225 - 81-463 is...
  15. Ok, I am new here and still trying to figure this all out. I am 32 and have suffered with stomach problems since I was 12. I was sort of diagnosed with IBS a few years ago and I had my gallbladder removed about 9 years ago. My problems have only gotten worse over the years. After finding this site I made an appointment with my doctor and asked him if I could...
