    So, I have been having the same issues. My husband and I started trying to conceive in December 2011, we were successful the first month, but then miscarried at 5.5 weeks, heart broken. Haven't been able to conceive since. Now I haven't had a cycle for 52 days, but the urine tests are saying negative! All of my vitamin levels are normal, so I don't know why...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I've always been told that anything "malted" was not safe for Celiacs. Just what I've been told, and what I read somewhere, can't remember where though.

    If a "restaurant" is not obligated to feed you, then what is their other purpose!? I agree with the politeness issue, but people please, don't go saying things that really aren't true.

    Hi, I've had a really tough time dealing with eating gluten free, until recently, I went through my entire house, and got rid of any food product that contained any wheat/gluten, and then went grocery shopping, and forced myself to only get the stuff I can eat. This has really helped, because only having that kind of food in the house, forces you to come...

    I completely agree with Gemini. If someone wants to post something saying certain products have gluten, they should provide a link or something to support that. The same goes for Gluten-free products. Don't get upset just because someone told you that you might have another food intolerance. Actually, most people that have Celiac disease have another food...

    Hi, well, I have some new information. I'm currently serving in the Navy, and I was diagnosed with Celiac about 2 and a half years in. I know of atleast 6 or 7 people just in the San Diego area who have Celiac and are still in. When I talked to some of my superiors about it, they said that it all depends on what type of job position you hold in the military...

    I know if you go on pepsi.com they have a list of what allergens are in which of their products. last time i checked, i didn't see any of them that had wheat/gluten in them. so if you stick to pepsi and regularly check their website, you should be safe with their brand.

    With a 241 it is HIGHLY likely she does have Celiac. However, an upper endoscopy should still be done to make sure. They will need to take biopsies and actually test them to know for sure, but with that high of a number, she probably does have it.

    Thanks, that was a lot of help. And my fiance is in the military, but so am I. How did you know? He is actually getting ready to deploy, like any day now.

    Hi, my name is Christina, and I have been diagnosed since last March. I have a really hard time staying gluten-free and I need to find someone who can help me. I can't go to support group meetings, because my work schedule is so shifty. I'm just looking for someone to hang out with that can help me stay gluten-free. Thank you!

    Along the same lines as the fatty stool, I have been finding blood in my stools, and was wondering if anyone else is having this problem? And/or if anyone knows what is causing it, or what is wrong with my body! Thanks!

    According to your TTG results, it appears you don't have Celiac. When I was diagnosed my Dr. told me that anything above 30 highly suggests Celiac, from 20 to 30 is just abnormally high, but below 20 is normal. When I was diagnosed, my TTG was above 300! But also not eating enough gluten products could have messed with the results. Best advice is for you...

    Well, I am in the military and I have celiac disease which was diagnosed when I was 2 and a half years in. I went through the whole medical board process, and they found me "Fit to Continue". My only restriction is shore duty only, but with my job, I can go through a whole career with celiac, because my job is in high demand. So when it all comes down to...

    I gained about 30 lbs before being diagnosed.

    I have Celiac and I am still in the Military. This is what my doctor told me. He said that I have to have a Medical Evaluation Board, where they will probably say that I will be medically discharged since I cannot deploy. However, I can appeal it, and the chances are pretty high that I would win and be allowed to stay in, I just would not be able to be deployed...

    Being in the military, whenever we are going to be running, they tell us to drink a cup of coffee, because the caffeine gives you that extra boost while you are running.

    The way my doctor put it to me, was if your TTG level is above 20 it's abnormally high, above 30 you probably have Celiac. Mine was at 300, and yours is pretty high as well. So there is a really good chance that you do have Celiac.

    Here is a list I found on Frito Lays website. It has a huge list of gluten free products. Just be sure to read the note at the end. Enjoy Products Not Containing Gluten Last updated April 8, 2008 BAKED! CHEETOS

    I'm newly diagnosed with Celiac, and I live in San Diego. I desperately need a shopping buddy, and people to do gluten free things with!
  21. pinkscooby6
    My doctor gave me a handout from uptodate.com. it is a site geared for doctors, and in the article it clearly said that if you had already cut out gluten from your diet, than the tests would come back negative. So you should refer your doctor to this article, and if she just doesn't get it, you should switch doctors, one who actually knows what he/she is...

    Thanks, I will definitely try Jimbo's.

    Do you know of any support groups in San Diego, CA? It sounds like you have done your research, and maybe you would know of a site I could go on to find a group in my area.

    I'm stationed on NAS North Island. So, we have 3 really good Commissaries in the local area. I've looked around there, but I haven't seen any gluten free food yet. But I already do all the rest of my shopping there. Thank you for the help though.

    I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease this past month, and don't know where to buy food. I live in San Diego, CA, and am in the military, so I'm on a very tight budget, and everything just seems as if it is going to cost so much money, which I don't have. Does anyone know of other places where I can buy gluten-free food that isn't going to cost an...
