    Well shoot, don't we all know that's true! Har de har, just kidding! I am male too, and and I do agree it seems like their are women "out there" as it were, for whatever reason. I figure maybe women are more social than men, kind of like cats you know. So more likely to get involved in groups and organizations and letting it all hang out. I...

    Pretty darn well time somebody did a study like this. Great article about gluten intolerance. Thanks for posting it!

    That is interesting that they use oats as a over crop. I have eaten the Lundberg rice cakes before without a problem. I don't know if you watched the whole slide show but they had several steps where they went thru and pulled weeds. They identified 3 different weeds that I remember that they were trying to keep out. They didn't mentioned oats as a weed...

    Thanks Shroomster! She is still doing better. We are looking at some drug trials that might help now. Prayers do help tho.

    Or rum or wine. I agree you should try ditching the soy and dairy for a few months then add them back in one at time, a month apart. Time to recover is an individual thing, and varies lot. some people feel better within a few days, but others take months or years.

    I stick with the Trader Joes' tortillas for the most part. I haven't had a problem with the Food for Life ones, but I figure why take a chance.

    Good news for the Canadians indeed!

    Psyillium husks are a good a thickener. Also okra. Or just about any gluten free flour would work as far as I know.

    Yes, you can gain weight with celiac instead of losing it. I have read that it may be because the body goes into starvation mode and packs away every calorie. The reason being that with celiac your intestine is damaged and you can't absorb vitamins normally.

    Chicory is a wild flower, not a wild flower child, but just a wild flower. Open Original Shared Link It is actually a pretty blue flower that grows in lots of pastures and grassy areas. They use it in some coffee blends also. Chicory gotz no gluten in it. But I can see a wild flower child wearing cornflowers in her hair. Why not? ...

    That' pretty much my story too. I kept getting siock from things that were supposedly gluten-free but were made on shared lines. So I avoid those products now. But I also found that I have multiple other fod intolerances that were causing symptoms and keeping me in a constant state of irritation and making me more sensitive always. Now that I have identified...

    Sounds like celiac to me. Celiac is a genetic trait so it is more likely that siblings will have it than the general population.

    I suppose my gluten-free diet is more sustainable in some ways. I buy hardly any processed foods now so I take home way less packaging material than I used to. Most whole foods have no or little packaging. The ones that do I can sometimes recycle their packaging. Like the little plastic peanut butter jars. I save those and store art supplies in them....

    I am grateful that my sister who has melanoma is doing much better now than 2 weeks ago. A blessing from God! I am grateful for days when I can read this celiac board and think of it as just a disease that I happen to have and not a major detriment to living my life. I am grateful for all the things God has given me even tho I didn't exactly want...

    Try some peppermint tea or some peppermint Altoids. And some milk of magnesia to clear things out. And some Pepto Bismol to coat yur innnards and relieve pain. And maybe some aspirin and wine too. Never tried the headstand in the office myself but I am a male so it wouldn't work for me.

    Celiac disease can cause damage to the small intestine causing ma;l-absorption of nutrients. Lack of certain vitamins can do nasty things to a body. Nerve damage is one of them. Some people take b-vitamins, especially b-12 to help with nerve problems. There are also other vitamins that you could be low on. Doctors can have your blood tested for vitamin...

    Wow, sounds like if I was a mouse I would be all set with a treatment for celiac disease! Squeak squeak! Pretty darn interesting article for sure.

    Hi Cashman, This thread started in 2004 so not much chance the OP is still reading it. I had swelling in my ankles for years prior to going gluten-free. IT got better going gluten-free, but didn't go completely away until I got off soy also. So, just saying that gluten and other foods can cause swelling, along with other things of course. Welcome...

    Hey Zus, You can also get an endoscopy done and have the GI take 5 or so biopsies of different areas in the beginning section of your small intestine. They can't reach all the way through the length (22 feet) of your small intestine so if you are lucky the villi damage will be in the beginning section and not a foot beyond where the endoscope cannot...

    Low thyroid, (hypothryroiditis) can also cause joint pain. I forgot the soy, that does a number on my joints too.

    Back when I lived in a cabin in SE Ohio we had a black lab named Gus. Guster like to retrieve rocks thrown in the water. He would dive underwater looking for them and bring them back. Or bring something back anyway. Strange dog. Then we had a batch of kitties one time. There was a maintenance guy over for something I forget what. Anyway, he backed...

    I don't think there is anything in gluten that our joints depend on. If there were, every gluten-free person on this board would be having joint pain. I have had joint pain but it stopped when I got off nightshades. Other people have reported joint pain from nightshades also.
