    Hi Mariann, My son had a biopsy 7/26 and it was negative so I thought we should give this a try. I will email Dr. Fine right now and hope for the best. Thanks so much for your help, Lisa

    Hi All, I would like my son to be tested by enterolab but his blood tests revealed he is IgA deficient. Will the tests done at enterolab show results or will this be a problem? I tried to email them but they don't make it easy. Thanks I appreciate any help, Lisa

    Hi Jean, I use Dove Sensitive Essentials. It's fragrance free, dye free, non-irritating, dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic. I have allergic reactions to so many creams but this one seems to work. I use the day lotion. It's not expensive either. They have an 800 number on the bottle, it's 1-800-761-3683. I hope this helps...

    Hi everyone, I'd like to know if Lipton Onion soup is gluten free. I called them and she said they list everything on the label. I'm just not sure so I figured I ask here. Thanks, Lisa

    MY son's endocrinologist said that my sons should be tested to see if they have the gene (s) for celiac and to ask the GI to do the blood test. When I called the GI she basically said there is no value in the test because it isn't specific enough. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks, Lisa

    Hello, I know Heinz Ketchup is gluten-free. French's mustard prepared mustards,and French's Honey mustard are gluten-free. Helmann's mayo is gluten-free. Kraft lists gluten clearly on their labels. They don't hide gluten it will say it in parenthesis (wheat) or whatever the gluten source is. Boars Head list of not gluten free foods are olive loaf...

    I like Tinkyada better than regular spaghetti! I also cook it for 16 min. with salt then I drain and rinse for a few seconds. Delicious! Lisa

    Trudi, I forgot to answer your question about your daughter's skin on her arms. I think it's keratosis polarias, (spelling?). My 14 year old has it. It's bumps on upper arms. My poor son has the worst case the doctor has ever seen, he has bumps on arms, legs and all over his chest. I'm hoping it's just hormones and it will get better. They gave him...

    Hi Trudi, Vitiligo is the "michael Jackson" disease. He has no pigment in blotches on his hands, arms, legs and a small patch on his face. It's not horrible yet. I just hope it doesn't get worse. My pediatricians sent me to my GI for the tests for the boys. What I did was show them my prescription that the my doctor gave to me and she just copied...

    Hi Everyone, Thanks for all you responses. I really appreciate them. My oldest son is gluten-free with the doctors permission. Actually 2 different GI docs said trying the diet is just fine with them. He has so many symptoms and is IgA deficient which is common among celiacs. He has been on it for 1 and 1/2 weeks and he said he feels the same??? ...

    Thanks Tiffany! I needed to hear that. My oldest son and I are gluten-free. He went gluten-free 9 days ago, me 3 days ago. I just have to see about my younger ones. I have to talk to their doctor because I would like her support. I think my youngest is going to give me a problem but I'm sure once he feels better he'll come around. He is always running...

    Hi Everyone, I'm pretty new here and I have not seen this topic here yet. And well I guess misery love company. No not really just want to know I'm not alone. I have gotten hives as long as I can remember. They come every few years and stay for weeks. I've been to doctors and given antihistamines that help somewhat but I was told by the allergist that...

    Hi Everyone, any input would be helpful. IGA serum 54, normal is 81-463 mg/dL, the doctor said he is IgA deficient. His IgG is 115 --Weak positive is 20-30, strong positive is >30. His biopsy on 7/26 was negative. I have sent all his results to Dr. Peter Green at Columbia University Hospital. His symptoms (4 1/2 years) are reflux with damage to his...

    Hi Cstrong, This is an uphill battle all the way isn't it? If you feel better off wheat then don't give up. I think you should find another doctor who will listen. I called Dr. Peter Green's office and he agreed to look at my son's slides from his 7/26 biopsy along with his bloodwork. He is IgA deficient and 115 IgG. He has been suffering for 4 years...

    Hi My son (19 years old) just had an endoscopy yesterday. We switched to Dr. Gutman in Bethpage. He does them in his office. I think he knows his stuff. I asked lots of questions and I liked his answers. Bethpage is about 15 min. from Syosset. I work in Syosset. Good Luck and I will let you know the results, we will get them next week. He has been...
