Just a heads up for all those desperate pizza lovers. My husband and I have been glutened twice now by Pizza Pizza in London Ontario. One location that we first stated going to was great but since then we have gone to two other stores and both times we were glutened and are still paying. I really think that it depends on which person you have preparing...

Hi When I went gluten free the first time things went really well right off the bat... but then I got a negative test and started having wheat again for 2 weeks. That's when things went really bad. It seems that I reacted way worse than before and the reactions lasted for at least 2 weeks before I started improvement again. If you have been glutened...

Some celiac people only show one symptom and it may be as simple as anemia... actually that is really not simple but you see what I mean. You don't have to have all the symptoms to be celiac. Some people show no symptoms and only find out because a family member has it and they get tested too. I would try to stay eating gluten and get the blood test...

Hi You have not mentioned how long you went gluten free for or how severe your symptoms were. I had relief, or lessening of symptoms right away but I still had symptoms for a good two weeks to a month and still would have the odd issue after that. I found that there were many foods that I could not digest right away. So foods had to be really simple...

Hi I was reading some early posts and people were talking about the celiac look and that anyone with undiagnosed celiac's never wanted to look in a mirror. It totally had alot to do with low iron for me. I looked awful. My skin was very blotchy and had sort of break outs and then dark eyes. It seemed to go downhill fast until I figured out what was...

Hi I actually figured out that I had become lactose intolerant before I figured out that I was celiac. Try cutting dairy out of your diet. Apparently the our bodies produce the enzymes to digest milk at the very tips of the villi so that is one of the first symptoms of celiac. I actually seemed to be getting better a couple years ago by just cutting...

Hello I have recently been "sort of diagnosed with celiac" (it will be months and months until I can see a GI and both my GP and myself have decided that I can't stay eating wheat until then. Right now I have low iron and menorrhagia. My doctor would like me to take iron supplements however they are making me feel worse (big D and such). Can it better...

Hi I have just been on the celiac, gluten free false negative roller coaster. I was having similar problems as you combined with a skin rash and things were just getting worse and worse. Went to the doctor and got a blood test. While waiting for results I went gluten free. This was a month as the test was over Christmas. I felt so much better right...

I am glad to hear that you have found an answer! I actually have been dairy free/ casein free for almost 4 years and that has not re-entered my diet in the least. It just seems that I am unable to eat anything that I could before. Even since 2 weeks ago before I did the gluten challenge for 2 weeks. I feel even worse than I did before! Anyways...

Thanks for all the positive advice. I really am starting to doubt myself! I have to go see my doctor tomorrow was all geared up to tell her "what was going on with me" Now I am not near so confident and not so sure that being gluten free is the key. I am going to stick with it and not complicate things with other gluten free products. It's crazy though...

I have a similar type of acne that runs along the side of my face at my hairline and into my scalp. It looks a bit like acne but lasts for months. It started to get better after about of month of going gluten-free. I had never had it until about a year ago when my symptoms really started. Now that I did a challenge it is back I think that it will eventually...

Before Christmas I decided to try going gluten free after having suffured for the past year or more with a list of symptoms that seemed to match exactly those listed for celiac. I had had my gall bladder out 4 years ago after having my second child... became lactose intolerant soon after and then proceeded to get worse and worse until I could not stand the...

Hello I am not expert but from what I have read on here, there are lots of people that have had similar things happen. The blood test are not perfect. Some sites they are are 92% effective but if you look on the enterolab site they discuss it furthur and it looks like depending on the person then the results can be as 30% accuracy. I had negative blood...

I have not had the problem but until you are healed you could be experienceing issues with lactose as well. Just a thought. When I had my first son I ended up with thrush ( yeast infection of the breast) it was awful and made breast feeding very painful. I ended up trying an alternative remedy after 5 months of problems. The thrush was better in a...

Hi again My comments are from work experience and personal experience. I am not sure where you can read about this but I will look into it. I used to work for the Ontario government as a specialist in integrated pest management. So I worked with Traditional farmers, ecological farmers and organic farmers to find when pests would actually be in their...
