Can you learn to like smoothies with a protein powder (gluten free, of coures)? A good way to get your vitamins, fruit, fiber, and avoid grains.

I haven't heard anything on here about a support group in Virginia? I am in Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach to be specific). I work in a central area and would be happy to host one? Just response or email me at hope.therapy@gmail.com. Thanks!

A response on the numbers..... THANK YOU!!!

What is the quoting system? How does something get quoted? Is that the same as something getting moved? What is the purpose? I'm trying to catch on here....

I am totally confused. Why move people's stuff around? I'm having a hard enough time figuring out of people are responding to things? Also... it is confusing where a thread begins and ends. I'm not an internet expert or anything.... but I"m usually not so confused?

Posted them as a reply to my original message. Will you take a look?

Many requested that I post my results. If you were one of them, can you please help me read these? Here's a copy of the post I put in test results / pre-diagnosis, Am I reading this right? ______________________________________________________________________________ I got some tests run from a local lab.

I posted them under the pre-diagnosis and testing section. Would certainly appreciate your feedback!

Just to clarify, I have reason to think that the doctor that ordered the test overdiagnoses gluten senstivity as a "fad" diagnosis. In addition, the two other doctors weren't specialized in this but friends that I sought out. And, no, I don't have significant symptoms compared to other people on this board AT ALL.... Thank you for your input!

I relate to the dull continuous discomfort in your stomach.... That has been on and off with me forever.... just starting to realize what it is.

I got some tests run from a local lab. The doctor that ordered them hasn't explained a darn thing and just told me to do the gluten diet. But I think these tests are negative, so why do the diet (I am anyway). I have two doctor friends that told me to do the diet too... but I can't understand their rationale from these tests? Where are the antibodies...

I am experiencing "week 3" symptoms (purging) as mentioned in one of the answer posts. So, my experience validates that theory! I started experiencing worse digestive symptoms (my primary symptom was bloat and onstipation too), and all the sudden it really did feel like my body was cleaning itself out!
