    ARCHIVED The Gluten Doctors

    chb replied to lbd's topic in Publications & Publicity

    Thanks for sharing that blog. As someone who was told by my doctor that I wasn't celiac, but should just avoid gluten if it made me feel better, it is nice to see gluten sensitivities taken seriously. This journey is so hard some days, it helps to have a medical person encouraging me that it IS necessary for me.

    My tests also came back showing I needed to eliminate casein. It was a tough blow. I had already been gluten free for 2 months and still felt pretty rotten. It was only when I eliminated the milk, that I really started to feel better. Everyone is different, I suppose you could just do the gluten first and then once everyone has adjusted, drop out the...

    Sigh....I swear this dairy free thing is harder to handle than the gluten free.

    I made the corn/rice version for the first time tonight and it came out very nicely. The crust was pleasant tasting with good texture to it. My non gluten-free husband thought it was really good. Give it another try with the vineagar--it must have made a big difference.

    Thanks so much cragiecarter for bumping this post up. I'm sure I glanced at it at the time, but I didn't know my gene testing results then which also happen to be the same as Crimson's. I actually had my endoscope done the day of the original post. Since my endoscope looked good, my blood tTg was not elevated, and I have no GI symptoms, the GI doc...

    Dbmamz, Thanks so much for that first recipe you posted. I made a batch earlier in the week and they were GREAT! I've got my stuff lined up to make some more today.

    Personally, I had been feeling so awful and been back and forth searching for answers, I was very relieved to have something to grasp on to. Of course, it's a lot to fully take in at once. I have a lot of days now that I am feeling better that I have a pity party for myself that I didn't have when I found out gluten was a problem. It was a much harder...

    I don't know about Canada delivery times, but when I just did my testing with Enterolab it took exactly 3 weeks from the day they recieved my box to the day they e-mailed results to me.

    THANK YOU everyone who has replied so far. Your answers are helpful to my scattered brain. And Lizz, especially thank you for that thought. I'm sitting here trying to muster up energy to go do music at VBS this morning and that really helped!

    Hi all, I have mostly been plauged by fatigue, infertility, and neurological symptoms. Came across info in the spring that it might be the gluten. I felt so good after a small gluten free trial I went back on it to have the tests done. My blood tests came back negative for everything, except I had an elevated antigliadin IGA. My endoscope biopsies...

    I saw them today at Kroger.

    I have no idea if they do gluten free, but my SIL ordered a vegan cake from this bakery in Dectaur a couple of months ago for my nephew's birthday party because there were some kids in his class with egg and milk allergies. The cake was delicious. (Was able to try it since I hadn't had my endoscope yet.) They also do wedding cakes, so it might be worth...

    I agree, Dr. Green's book is excellent. Do you have a library nearby? Maybe you could check out a few of the ones you are interested in. Read them, and then decide which ones are worth owning. I have been able to check out all the books mentioned so far from our library.

    I just wanted to share my good experience with others. I finally got in to see the GI for my referral today. I have been very nervous about having to go to yet another Dr. and try to jusify my symptoms. Especially after reading the experiences that some of you have had. (Just a little backgorund, I have mostly nuerological symptoms, infertility,...

    I've just always heard they were hereditary. Some people have them and some don't. Can't wait to finish with all of my testing and see if mine go away. (Or at least get better.) That would be an awesome side bonus.

    I have visual disturbances that sound very similar. For me, they were the "straw that broke the camel's back" and led me to search for what the heck was wrong. I started with the migraines in the fall of 06. My doctor described them as textbook for ocular migraines. They weren't too bad until the end of last summer. Even on the days I didn't have a...

    My primary doc called today and admitted he knew nothing about it. My results were enough at least to convince him to give me the GI referral. fedora, thanks for the advice. I did a small (week and a half) gluten free trial and felt so much better I knew I had to follow up with the doc. I am still eating the gluten now, but can't wait to be able to...

    Thanks so much to those who answered my previous post about lab time. I ended up being e-mailed a copy of my results late Friday evening. Haven't heard anything from the doctor yet. My results were mostly negative, except for an elevated Gliandin IGA. The first number is my result and the second is the normal. RETICULIN IGA, TITER, SER, QN, IF <...

    Hi, I'm new to the forum. I turned 38 this year and have felt like I've been falling apart. The constant fatigue has been worse and my migraines that started a couple of years ago have turned into this daily bouts of flashing lights and mental dullness or brain fog. Of course the neurologist's solution was to take medicine for it--doesn't help. I came...
