Celiac Blood testing is an entirely different form, I forget the name of it but others have posted the name here on the board. It cost with insurance about 700.00 so make sure if you have it done your insurance covers it. My parents got approved for the testing and the next thing you know they received a 700.00 bill fore each of them. Ouch!!! after fighting...

Thanks for all the replies--I have to go in for my yearly physical anyway so I will ask then for a copy of my blood work and I will also ask them to check for anemia. If I am then I have definitely been my whole life, I have always been unable to run without having a shortness of breath, I used to pass out when I had my menstrual cycle, thank goodness that...

My accupuncturist used to tell me that corn adds alot of weight around the middle of women and I never really believed her until recently. Since being gluten-free, corn free--basicly grain free, I have lost a ton of bloat around the midsection and I feel soooooooooooo much better. I use nut meal and nut flour along with arrowroot root when coating anything...

Be grateful you are seeing his true colors now, just think how it would have been if you married him. It's going to be tough, I have some family members that just don't get it. They don't even try to understand it, or care about what it does to me, so to those family members I say-SEE YA--I won't eat at any function they hold at there house.--Lately I don...

I don't know what all that means but I have to ask, where you eating Gluten prior to the test or had you stopped? If you had stopped that will effect the outcome of the test. You can test negative even though you are postive or vise versa. Secondly, not all test are conclusive to if you are or aren't celiac, the important thing is to see how you feel after...

When I first started in my gluten-free eating I tried many different pasta sources, brown rice, and corn ended up being the only two that I found that I liked. I wasn't feeling any better though, so recently I thought I would go AI--Let me tell you--A world of difference has occurred. I swear I feel like I have lost about 15 lbs in my stomach, my allergies...

Is is possible to be slightly anemic? I find it hard to believe with all the blood work and surgeries I have had that no dr has clinically said I am anemic, so is it possible that my blood levels can fluctuate from one test to another to where it doesnt register?

Has anyone touched on this topic--I searched past posts and didn't see anything. I am curious to know how many have been told they are or were anemic before finding out they had Celiac and if they have gotten better since being Gluten free? There is a good article on it at www.gluten.net. I myself have always been told that I had low blood pressure, I...

I have to chime in here and say that even though it's gluten free doesn't mean your daughter will be able to tolerate it. She may have sensitivities to even gluten-free foods due to other ingredients that you may not realize she could be sensitive to. I would keep a food diary and see what bothers her and what doesn't. Keep in mind that certain combination...

I have suffered from foot pain for many years and I was diagnosed with Tendonitis in both my feet. GEE tendonitis--Inflammatory condition. I do believe it's connected with all the other inflammatory issues I have. Everything I have tried so far hasn't helped, I wear rubber soled shoes, I have found earth shoes to be the best, the ones from Walmart are...

a friend of mine is a naturalpath and when we found out I was Celiac and highly allergic to gluten he recommended I do a 30 day intestinal cleansing before I started my full blown gluten-free diet. In doing this you have to refrain from eating grain, some fruits, and meat. I primarily lived on an alkaline diet with little acid forming foods. I drank alot...

Hi Beth, Okay, I will go back to the other website, I started to check that out the other day and somehow I fell upon the one and it just didn't make sense to what I have been reading on Cordain and Hoggan. Thanks Beth, I am checking online to see if our library has those books in stock, I hope so, every Celiac book they have is always out. More and more...

Since you went gluten-free have you incorporated anything new into your diet? If so make sure you are not sensitive to that. Have you done any cleansing- parasitic or anything else--they can cause some strange things to occur if your are ridding toxins from your body.

I have been looking into the Paleo Diet online and I see a website Open Original Shared Link can you tell me if this information is accurate, to Cordains Paleo, I see salt being used in the recipes and I didn't think he advises using salt? Have you used Nut flour or made arrowroot bread? If so how do you like the results? I found a recipe I want to try...
