Can any one recommend a good nutritionist that does phone consults? I'm looking for someone that is knowledgeable about celiac (naturally) and its related issues. Specifically about the difficult task of healing the final 10% of the way. My DH is 100% healed but I continue with some low grade GI symptoms. I've tried eliminating the main allergens and...

Thanks for the responses. I plan to start eliminating some foods here within a week. Patti, is it possible to be getting trace amounts of gluten (enough to cause sickness) and have normal bloodwork and biopsy? My 6-month bloodwork tests in June were (and I was feeling bad on the day of the test): Endo IGA: 5.7 Endo IGG: 0.0 Gliadin IGA: 4.2 Gliadin...

My experience was similar to elye's, except I developed the good-old fashioned celiac stomach symptoms within 3 weeks of starting the gluten-free diet. If I remember right, cramping was the first major symptom, but shortly thereafter I was game for all the standards. Hopefully you'll stay symptom free!

Let's all help my doctor help me... Background: My six month bloodwork and biopsy just came back: no intestinal damage and normal bloodwork. That's good news knowing that I had moderate to severe atrophy in December. This result surprised me because, frankly, I've never felt worse. At the initial diagnosis I was symptom free (save for being covered...

FYI, my wife and I found one noodle that didn't belong in a box of Annie's Gluten-Free Mac and Cheese. The normal noodles are white(ish) standard macaroni noodles. Our extra noodle was a yellow shell-shaped noodle. I called the company to ask where the noodle came from, does it contain gluten, and how can we know for sure (other than eating it and seeing...

Now that you mention it, I get the saliva/mucous mostly during bouts of constipation as well. Interesting...

A few weeks after starting the gluten-free diet, I began getting a lot of clearish fluid in my stool (had mostly normal stool before gluten-free diet -- asymptotic except for DH). Best way to describe it is kind of like saliva. I've read several post on mucous in the stool -- this could possibly be mucous, but it seems a lot thinner than what I consider...

Thanks for the help. Glad no one's had any problems with the Baker's Chocolate Chunks (there are quite tasty). It's possible the cause may not have been gluten after all. I normally get a DH flare up, but didn't have one this time...

Anybody been glutened by Baker's Chocolate Chunks? I got zinged recently and they are on the short list. The chunks are a Kraft product and don't list any gluten in the ingredients (and thus should be good). Just checking, however...
