    Hi Freda and welcome to the forum. Regarding celiac, first of all let's define celiac; it is not an allergy to gluten; it is an autoimmune response brought on by an intolerance to gluten. For most of us, the other food intolerances that we develop or which accompany our celiac disease are also not allergies, but intolerances. Some of the symptoms of...

    Yah, it reallly hoits when dey start taking away stuff dat you didn't even appreciate when you had it

    Soy lecithin is a problem for many of us, but I don't believe it has any relation to gluten. It is just an often associated intolerance.

    How CAN you look down during that manoover anyways? One arm wrapped around de machine in a bear hug with the corner of de machine digging painfullly into armpit, the other clutching anything that will help you keep your balance as you are instructed "Move towards me a bit, no move back, now turn and face de machine, no, not your head dummy, your body, turn...

    The main reason for doing an endoscopy when celiac is suspected is not just to look for inflammation and other visible (to the naked eye) signs of intestinal damage, but also to take biopsies to examine under the microscope to examine the villi. It is important that the doctor should take at least five samples of different areas of the small intestine,...

    Yes, Meggie, when it comes to your healthcare you really have to be proactive, and not minimise your symptoms in any way. Doctors are used to having people overdramatize how bad they feel, so those that don't take control and stresss how much they are suffering (doing it in a non-dramatic way of course) tend not to get listened to at all, just as those who...

    Probably the most obvious way to look at what gluten appears to be doing to you is to consider this: If a medium amount makes you feel not so good, a large amount makes you feel terrible, then even a little amount is going to have an effect on you, no matter how much you may or may not be aware of it. You would probably find after going totallly gluten...

    No, Jason, you are not the only one. Just reading some of the signatures here will tell you that. I agree that the gluten hurdle seems comparatively easy compared to some of the other ones. Soy is probably harder than gluten. I am just finding out how hard potato starch and citric acid are because these are certainly not intolerances that are catered...
  11. mushroom
    No, not at all. There are lots of products on the shelves that do not have any gluten, but for which the manufacturers make no gluten free claims for various reasons--such as "processsed on the same lines as"; some ingredients obtained from other suppliers who do not certify them as gluten free, etc., etc. You just have to read the labels carefully and...

    Joodee, thinking of you and your house today. I just feel like today's the day that a love affair will blossom and you will find a buyer. loved your house; it looked so beautiful in the picture. When you have time I wish you would tell us more about it, and the National Wildlife Habitat status, etc. It looks like a warm, happy house.

    That is the way I understand it too, which is why I consider myself to be an undiagnosed celiac, and will generally describe myself that way as a more convenient way of explaining my intolerance to gluten. However, I do not wish to get into an argument on the forum about whether or not I have it, so I equivocate Very interesting link.

    Or you will have another one that will make you forget all about the other one

    Nah, Clay guarded his Mary after dat and the bloody Jay sat up in the tree and scolded him for de rest of the evenin' Hope our phluey psillies are pheeling better in the morn, having cleaned out their ear wax and digestive systems with the appropriate remedies.

    Speaking of beveridges, we have a would-be tipsy jay on our deck. Clay left his bloody Mary on the bench while he came in for nuts and there he was, sippin' away. He came back in for something else, and there he were again!

    Scotch used to be the only thing that soothed my glutened stomach--- really... Of course, now I am askeert of it but I think it was the soy I was reacting to, not the scotch at that time. Will try it again; was always my favorite beveridge. I'm getting tired of Bacardi

    I have only just started using it myself, so don't know, but maybe not?? It is also known as glutinous rice flour, so probably has stickier properties than other rice flours. Just a guess. I haven't tried subbing it for anything else.

    Seems like stumbling across it is what happens to most of us. If it has been just over a month you might not have healed sufficiently to give an inaccurate result. Is there any chance of getting the full celiac panel run right away? I do not have the specifics, but there are five tests that should be performed, including total IGA to make sure you are...

    Jason, I hate to say this, but you received some good advice. For most of us pre-celiac, everything seemed to revolve around food. You just have to create a new life and a new attitude to food. You are no longer who you were. When my husband and I used to go out shopping the big question used to be, "Where are we going to eat lunch?" Now it's what fun...

    There have been some other discussions on here about the relationship between PCOS and celiac. If you google I am sure they will come up. I have no idea about scarlet fever; one sister and I have both had it and we are both the gluten intolerants in our family, although another sister may well be but ignores it.
