I was just wondering if anyone knows whether mustard flour is gluten-free? I used to use it when I made egg salad and I noticed Kraft salad dressings have mustard flour in them. I'm going with the assumption that it is not gluten-free but was wondering if anyone knew for sure. Thanks for any help you can provide!

I don't know what the correlation here is but I was diagnosed because I told my Doctor about gnawing hunger-like pains that I experienced almost constantly. These pains were relieved with the consumption of sugar. If I did not eat or consume sugar I would eventually get very shaky and weak. For some reason when I told her this she decided that she needed...

I just went to a nutritionist yesterday and her advice was lots of protein. She said that our bodies are very damaged right now and the protein aids in healing. She also has me eating every three to four hours. I get a terrible gnawing feeling in my stomach and she thinks this is because I'm not absorbing my foods and It's actually hunger pain. She...

Thanks again Mariann. I've looked at those articles and they were very interesting. My books arrived yesterday, I think I'm going to start with Danna Korn's book.

This Doctor that I would like to see works very closely with the local celiac group and is also my mother's boyfriend's Dr. He has Crohn's disease. He's got an...

Thanks for your responses. Do you know the name of the test that tests for IgA deficiency? I believe that is what my GI is doing now. Where do you find your information? I can find a lot of info on the diet but not a lot of detailed info on the disease. I am strongly considering waiting until I can see a GI who is a celiac specialist, I do not have confidence...

Four weeks ago my Dr. diagnosed me as having celiac disease. She stated I needed to remove glutin from my diet and that I would need to visit a nuritionist. The nutritionist they set me up with was told I had gerd, not celiac and told me she wasn't qualified to treat celiac. At this point I was starting to realize that this would be my battle and I was...
