    Thanks for all the suggestions. I have sent emails to GIG & CSA. I will contact our local hospital next week. I used to work there & know the Education Director. What a great suggestion. I know she would love to help me. If you think of anything else or if someone else has suggestion, keep them coming. Thanks Deb

    First let me explain there are no support groups closer than 150 miles from my small rural town. I have had a few people ask me to help them with a gluten-free diet. I would like to start a support group in my area for those whom have a Gluten issue or have been diagnoised with Celiac's. I know there are a lot of others in our area who could benifit...

    Hey All, I need some help. I have Bette Hagman's book "Cooks Fast & Healthy" any way there is a recipe in there for onion soup mix using Kitchen Bouquet seasoning sauce. Then I read somewhere it contained gluten and I thought no way, if Bette put it in her book than it is OK. Well it does because I called the company and they said yes. Anyway my question...

    Thought everyone might like to see the list Safeway Corp sent me yesterday. We live in a small town with only Safeway, Walmart and a small Local grocery store to buy our food. It is a challange to get gluten-free products without going out of town or mail order. Comments or Questions : Would you please provide me with a list of Safeway brand items...

    Hey all - Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for me for travel food. What I mean is we are going to Argentina for Christmas. We will be staying with Friends and will have a kitchen to cook in. It will be summer there so I am hoping to get some good produce. What stuff do you take along if you can cook. I just went gluten-free a little less than...

    Hey all Have a quick question. What are the recommendation on vitamins? What I mean is what brands are good for being gluten-free? I did a search and some have said Nature Made. It seems like I saw a post about a company that is all gluten-free and there was a web site posted, but I can't find it. What about Whole foods? Do they carry gluten-free...

They have several breads to choose from and I'm not sure which ones I should get. Their web site is www.outsidethebreadbox.com. some of the products I was looking at are the sandwich breads one...

    Hi all, Just thought I would let you know I ordered my test from Enterolabs yesterday. I emailed Dr Fine prior to ordering asking about how long a speciman would be good since I live in a rural area that does not have pick up or delivery everyday by Airborne. He emailed me back that the stool can be frozen and can stay that way indefinitely. He said...

    red345, Just thought I would let you know that Helicobacter pylori is not a virus. It is a bacterium. You can read all about it by going to the following site [url=http://www.helico.com] If it were a virius an antibiotic would not kill it. I'm not trying to be rude here but you should know that a virius is not removed from the body with antibiotics...

    Hey All, Just thought I would let you know I had my colonoscopy on Tuesday. I was very upset after. The GI told me I didn

    Hey Jill, Don't forget to make sure the ginger snaps are gluten-free. They are made with flour in the pre made ones I have eaten. I'm sure someone out there can suggest a gluten-free varity. Good luck. They are very yummy. hope you find a good gluten-free one. Deb

    molasses is a sugar. It is the end product after boiling down juice from sugar cane. It must be OK since it is just sugar. I son't think they add anythnig when they make it. You can look it up in the dictionary. It has a very distinct flavor. If you ever ate ginger snaps they are flavored by the molasses. enjoy. Deb

    I can't tell you much about going gluten-free and periods cause I had a hysterectomy at age 33 I'm now 47, due to having a constant beelding problem. after surgery I found out I had Adenomyosis. I always had long heavy periods with lots of cramps, clots, leg and hip pain. I thought it was normal for a period to last 8 to10 days as a teenager. Only after...

    Hey celiac3270, Sorry you are having such a rough time. The Prilosec is a proton (sp) pump inhibitor. If the problem is to much acid production in your stomach than the Prilosec should help. I was proscribed it a year ago after I had my stomach scoped. They were looking for ulcers as an explanation for my pain. No ulcers but they did find a small...

    Thanks to everone that replyed. I did an experiment yesterday with food. I ate gluten-free for breakfast & lunch. Had no problems until 1 1/2 hours after eating a peice of cake. The stomach pain started, bloating and gas. I am convienced I have Celiac. I go to Denver to have my colonoscopy on Tuesday to get those polyps taken care of, so after...

    Hey Dewey, No I have not had an endoscopy biopsy. Since my GI thinks I have IBS he did not even suggest one. The polyps showed up after I had a BE and my GI had me do the BE because he said it would reproduce my pain and prove that I have the IBS. Well It was uncomfortable to say the least but in on way did it reproduce any of my symptoms. I just wish...

    Hey GEF, Interesting theory. It will be intersting to see how many respond & what their blood types are among diagnosised celiacs. I sought it has anything to do with blood type but I put in mine. O pos. Deb

    Hello all, I have not posted for awhile but have been reading daily. I have a question for those that have been diganosed. Prior to going gluten-free did your symptoms come and go. What I mean is I am having a terrible time. I have been having a lot of pain. So much so that I can only sleep for 2 to 3 hours at a time, then I go back to bed and...

    Hello Heather, I am still undignosed but feel I do have Celiac. Since I do not have the diagnosis I am still on a gluten diet. I can drink a lot of beer & not feel much. I am wondering if the achohol is not being absorbed into my system. I have found this to be more true in the last year. If I drink wine it is more aparent the feeling I get from...

    I have been reading the board in the last week and I have some questions. I found out I have colon polyps and am going to have a colonoscopy to remove them Aug 24th. I know that this is not what is causing my problem. I'm just thankful they were discovered so they cane be taken care of. My Qusetion is, Where does anyone suggest I can make a copy of Entrolab...

    Got the results from my BE. It showed I have polyps and some sort of a pouch in the upper right part of the colon. Still these areas are not where I am having problems. I,m not sure if I should post a new topic or just keep adding to the original. Any way has anyone else had a colon problem, polyps etc. along with their celiac disease?? have not...

    Hey Mariann thanks for responding. I was talking to a co worker today and she ask me why I don't just go gluten-free. I just need to know , I think so if I am I can have my children tested also. I fell like I owe It to them. I guess I'm worried that if I do go gluten-free and I fell better I won't be sure If it isn't because I want it to work or I really...
