I have been wondreing the same thing.

Celiac: Yes Diabetes: no Sex: Female

Hi! You may want to be sure you do not have hypothyroid. It is commonly associated with Celiac and can cause weight gain. I gained some weight prior to learning I have hypothyroid. Once diagnosed and regulated on Synthroid I had no trouble dropping the weight.

It sounds like you have tried to provide all of them with the information they need to improve their health and they are making the choice to disregard it. What a shame for them, but you really can't do anything about it. This woman is who she is. It may save you some frustration if you can aviod the topic with her. She clearly is incapable of listening...

Well I am going to use the bread machine. I am going to do a couple of test loaves. Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty sure I'll know if I have a reaction. I guess my last reaction to gluten was so bad that I am getting much more careful. Thanks again!

My Dad and Stepmom have offered to give me their bread machine. They have rarely used it and it is very clean. Would you guys use it?

Thanks for the information. I plan to try the Progresso Cream of Mushroom. Cindy

I can't find a substitute for Cream of Mushroom, Chicken, Celery, etc. soups to use in some of my favorite casserole and crock pot recipes. Has anyone found a gluten-free brand or sub? Cindy

Bless your heart! I just wanted to respond and let you know someone is listening to you. I am feeling very frustrated too. I can tell you that I have read several articles from this site that indicate a relationship between autoimmune disorders and celiac. I too suffer from what I call freezing spells and unbearable coldness in my hands, feet and nose...

Have any of you had problems with the severity and duration of a stomach/intestinal virus seeming to be much worse and a longer duration then what other people seem to experience? About two weeks ago I caught a virus with typical symptoms; low fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and followed by diarrhea. The problems with diarrhea lasted about 5 days until...

I have several friends who are vegatarian and they all advised I try beano. I have not traide it yet so I don't know if it works or not. You can but it at any pharmacy. Also recommended was zimethacone (sp?). It may be that you are still adjusting to eating this stuff. Please let your MD know if you continue having problems! Cindy

Hi everyone! I am brand new and very happy to have found you. I was thankful for responses to my post about the biopsy. I have learned so much reading all of your messages. I am 35 yo and have suffered with this as long as I can remember. I have always felt very alone and misunderstood. It has been so nice to know I am not. I am a psychologist...

Hi Catfish! Thank you for the reply. You helped validate my thoughts and feelings about the biopsy. I do not want to add gluten back in my diet just to have an uncomfortable medical procedure. I was not even aware of that part of it! We do sound very similar. Especiallly regarding the biopsy issue! I hope you continue to feel better.

Hi There! I am new to the world of gluten intolerence and to message boards. I am 35yo and have just had the gluten intolerence blood work. My results were psoitive for gluten intolerence and I have been gluten-free for two weeks. I feel so much better. I could go on and on about that but I'd be preaching to the choir! I am wondering if I really must...
