  1. Thanks so much for the info Welda. I have been trying myself to stay gluten free and feel better than before, but still am set off by something at least once a week and not sure what. Maybe I need to look into maltodextrin and some of the other things you mentioned. I am very interested in that Entero lab test and will e-mail you with my additional questions...
  2. Strawberries are one of my favorite foods! I had some yesterday in a salad and have been very careful to be gluten free, but this afternoon I had a spell. Is it possible I reacted 24 hrs later? I have been racking my brain, because the only other thought I had was my sampling of 2 potato chips that were salt & vinegar flavored.
  3. Thanks so much for the great information, pele! I have been sort of discouraged, but still read as much as I can on the forum page even though I've heard only from a couple people.

She hasn't re-ordered the tests for celiac (1st one was negative), but suggested I try some enzymes and continue my gluten free self-imposed diet, send some stool samples to an out of state lab, add enyzmes and yogurt to my diet and if still feeling...
  6. Just wondering...Would love to compare notes or maybe even find a different doctor. In my first attempt to get diagnosed the doctor I had for 5 years sent me for gall bladder tests which came back normal and "pooh-poohed"my request for gluten intolerance. She said if that was the reason for all my abdominal pain and frequent huge and multiple canker sores...
  7. Have you heard of the book "Gluten-free Girl" by Shauna James Ahern? I just started reading it and it is great! Recipes in there too.
  8. I'm a newbie and not a computer queen so please bear with me. Was wondering if anyone out there has heard of someone developing gluten and lactose intolerance later in life brought on in part by stress? Also, is it possible since my one test was negative it was a false negative as I had already cut out most all gluten and dairy. Thought I was on the right...
