    These things are amazing, you won't want to wait for them to cool before digging in! 1/2 cup butter (or substitute, your preference) 1/2 cup natural crunchy peanut butter 1 cup honey 1 cup gluten free vanilla protein powder 3 cups quinoa flakes 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut 1/2 cup of nuts/seeds (I took a 1/2 cup measure and filled it with...

    Wow, what helpful information! Thank you so much. That has peaked my curiosity, I'm going to look into the Kimball genetic testing. Does anyone happen to have a link to the Kimball site, or where I could get more info? -Kim

    Thanks for your input! I have been on the gluten-free diet already for about a month (minus some mistakes). Most of my symptoms have improved/disappeared, so I'm pretty confident in my decision. I just wanted to see what others thought about these results.

    That's great info! I hate taking ibuprofen. I try to do anything else possible to relieve a headache first, but if it doesn't work I will take it, and 2 of them, albeit. I'm glad I know that info now and I won't be so quick on it. Thanks!

    Yes I know, I only took this if I desperately needed it, and now I know it doesn't even work. I am also taking probiotics so this shouldn't be an issue. I don't and never go overboard with unnecessary medication.

    Hi there, I am also 19 and going through pretty much the same thing as you If you can stand to eat the gluten, you should definitely go for the blood tests and endoscopy. And don't ask for it, demand it. Because your doc obviously doesn't know much about it. Ask for these blood tests: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial...

    Yes, it could definitely be gluten related. Many people have neurological symptoms as a reaction to gluten instead of gastro ones. For me, it's more gastro-related followed by an intense headache. Everyone is different. Hope that helps Kim

    Headaches are my biggest symptom. At first it was nausea, but headaches have really gotten up there. That's how I know I've been glutened. Ibuprofen can't even touch it

    Thank you so much for providing me with that information That helped so much.

    Sorry to 'bump', but if anyone could help out I'd really appreciate it

    Anyone?

    I hear 'ya! I had the same thing happen to me today. In June I had the "Celiac Panel" done, not knowing what that was or what tests they were, I didn't know then what I know now (Thanks to this place). When I went back all they said was 'its negative' So I went today to fill a prescription, and while i was there I asked for a copy of my 'Celiac Panel...

    I went to the doctors to get a copy of my celiac 'panel', if thats what you want to call it. The only thing they tested was my ttG (t Transglutaminase antibody) and it was negative. How accurate is it? Does this mean for sure that I don't have Celiac's? Thank you! -Kim

    No worries girl, you'll feel better. Just give it time I've been gluten-free for a month now and I'm jsut starting to feel better and notice changes. Time heals everything! (hugs)

    If you're not concerned with having a specific Celiac diagnosis, you can try testing through Enterolab: www.enterolab.com They test for gluten sensitivity through antibodies found in a stool sample, and you can get the gene testing as well to see if you have the genes that predispose to Celiac/gluten intolerance. This would also be of use to you to see...

    Hi Laura, I'm not sure if ovarian cysts and celiac are related, but you can have BC pills as long as they are gluten free. I am on Portia, and as far as I know, Yaz is also gluten free. Hope thats helps! -Kim

    For me, its hard to tell whats going on when I'm menstruating because I always have this dull ache in my lower abdomen that sort of feels like menstrual cramps but much less painful and subdued. Then when I get my period, they come on full force, so I can't tell if its just menstrual cramps or if its because of my period that my symptoms are worse. I don...

    Very interesting! As you can see by my signature I have had 9 hernia repairs - and look where we meet. That has to say something. Do you think one causes the other or vice versa?? This sure gives me some hope that I have finally found the answer to my problems. -Kim

    Thats the best part - you can be gluten free when you do the test. I was gluten free for a week when I did mine. They say that its still reliable for up to a couple years after you cut it out.

    Hi there, I definitely can relate. I had the same thing happen to me. I had the bloodwork done and it all came back negative, yet I feel so much better off gluten. Something you have to keep in mind though is that diagnosis by bloodwork is not always reliable. My cousin who is now 14 was diagnosed with Celiac by biopsy when she was 9, and she had negative...

    This is very interesting - my aunt, who is a natural healer (I don't think she is a 'qualified' naturopath) did this same test on me. She made me hold a loaf of bread in my heands with my feet shoulder width apart, and watched how I reacted. Apparently if you are allergic your muscles weaken and cause you to lean slightly backward from the food in question...

    Happy Birthday!! Hope it's a great one!

    Hi guys, Most people here recommend elimiinating dairy and soy from your diet once you start gluten free until your stomach heals. What happens if you don't? Do you keep having the same symptoms as before? The reason I'm asking is because I've been on the gluten-free diet for about 3 weeks now and although I've been *avoiding* dairy and soy, I haven...
  25. leadmeastray88
    That's great - thank you all for your responses! That definitely cleared a lot things up for me - I wasn't sure if gluten could be absorbed through skin contact and now I know Thanks!
