TCW

I am having a tough time. I was diagnosed with severe anemia in November, had a CT scan, colonoscopy and endoscopy which showed inflammation but everything else generally okay. My blood tests were negative for celiac, but the written report for the internal exam said I had inflammation that had been seen in celiac or Crohn's. Stomach symptoms up until...

Hello, I went out to breakfast this morning, and ate a veggie/cheese omelet, which I watched them make, and some "country potatoes". I asked about the potatoes, and they said the ingredients were potatoes, onions, oil, peppers and seasoning salt. In the middle of breakfast, I needed to use the restroom urgently, but felt okay. Now, four or five hours...

Hi Paulina, Thanks! That's what I was wondering. I've been really careful, but I'm just figuring this out, so...I'm a little better-- still kind of crampy after 5 days. I was thinking of keeping a food diary for awhile to see any patterns. Btw, I still haven't quite figured out how this forum works, so I could find any response 'til now. Sorry for...

If it's helpful, Here's the scoop: "low gluten alter breads" have 0.01 percent gluten content. You can order at 1 800 223-2772. You purchase them for your church to use for you.

Hi everyone, I have been gluten-free for about six weeks now, after a diagnosis of "subclinical gluten intolerance" (suspicious biopsy through endoscopy, and negative blood work). I was skeptical re: the diagnosis, but have been MUCH better since gluten-free. (No constipation or diarrhea, no cramping, sleeping for the first time in years, less dry skin...

For me the reaction depends on if I was glutened or CC'd. If I get glutened(which hasn't happend in months...THANK GOD!!!!), it's almost instant!!! CC usually is a couple of hours later! Hello, I'm new at this and am just figured out why I couldn't reply before! Thank you for your response! By the way, what's CC? Thanks, TW

Hello, I've been very careful gluten free for almost a month now, and made the mistake yesterday of being out for an extended period of time without safe food to eat. I've noticed that I get REALLY hungry, when I'm hungry -- almost like a sudden dip in blood sugar. Anyhow, I was at a Starbucks, and looked through all their ingredients for menu items...

Thank you to those who responded to my questions about "subclinical gluten intolerance". I appreciated the definition of subclinical and had also thought that my doctor was trying to use his head over just lab results. I had never thought about possibly having to try cutting out things like soy and dairy. I'm already using lactose-free milk, which seems...

Hello, I've never posted before and I hope I'm doing it right! I've had lots of stomach problems for a very long time, and within the last year or so have become anemic. I recently found I was very anemic and had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. My doctor found inflammation that he said was suggestive of crohn's or celiac disease. He tested my blood...
