    my test results came back negative as well, but i had been on a gluten free diet already for at least 6 months. i get sick whenever i encounter gluten so the doc said that it was safe to just stay on the gluten-free diet.

    This is odd. I, too have been put back on gluten for a month due to what the dr. thinks is a false negative test result (I had put myself on a gluten-free diet a while back). Since I have re-introduced gluten into my diet (I haven't gone crazy with it, it makes me too ill so I just do it very moderately) I have a little shift in symptoms. The most noticable...

    I like this topic as well. It seemed to have crept up on me slowly for a period of a few years. I have always had a sensitive tummy, but in my early to mid twenties I began having constant diarrhea. I went to a GI specialist and he diagnosed me with IBS, he said that it wasn't a big deal and that a lot of girls my age had it. He put me on a mild diet...

    Hi, Lisa. I am always on the go and find that the Organic Food Bars are great protein bars. They aren't junk food, like a lot of energy bars, and they are gluten-free.

    Thanks, Richard. Yes, I believe the rash to be DH as well, I've done a lot of research on it as well since it was the symptom that prompted my investigations to begin with. It doesn't look as bad as a lot of photos I've seen in pictures (knock on wood) but it can get really red, burn and itch like crazy if I accidentally become contaminated. The health...

    Thanks, Stacie. That makes me feel more comfortable about the whole thing. Luckily I do not have any severe problems with the exception of a diarrhea attack for which I carry my Immodium Advanced around all the time. The most annoying reaction for me is the itchiness - I guess I have dermatitis although the only place the rash actually shows up is my face...

    I was recently self diagnosed with Celiac. Around 4 years ago I was under-diagnosed by a doctor with IBS. (After having gone to at least three different gastros around that time) I just decided to "deal" with all of my stomach problems, since I was told that nearly every woman my age suffers from IBS and that it was not a big deal. Then on came a new...
