I don't have any glutening symptoms. Either that, or in 2.5 years, I have never been glutened. I have half a mind to purposely eat something with gluten just to find out, but I'm too chicken. And really, what would be the point? I avoid it as best I can, 100%.

I don't personally see the point in paying a co-pay to find out what you already know: you have Celiac. Request a copy of the test results, and keep them in your medical records file at home.

Don't try to take yogurt - they consider it a liquid. I had to dump mine out

Today I ate: Breakfast: Scrambled egg, Ore-Ida hash browns, 2 slices Oscar Meyer Center Cut bacon Lunch: Trader Joe's rice pasta mac & cheese with tuna, strawberry rhubarb crisp with vanilla ice cream Dinner: Grilled steak with A-1 Steak Sauce, boiled baby potatoes with olive oil and salt, grilled asparagus, red wine, more strawberry crisp for...

Interesting topic! I was diagnosed at age 42. Up until then, I had zero symptoms and could eat anything I wanted. Suddenly one morning I had a pain in my stomach just under my sternum, and it wouldn't go away. I tried eating crackers but it made it worse (gee, what a surprise!). I had this pain for a couple of weeks and called my doctor. He suggested...

I bought arborio rice at Trader Joe's for my risotto. It turned out great!!!

My kids have both been tested for antibodies and both are negative. That, as we all know, doesn't mean they'll never develop Celiac, since they certainly might have received the genes from me. If, at some point, either of them develops symptoms, then they will be tested again. I would not recommend that a person completely avoid gluten in order to prevent...

My house has been gluten-free since I went gluten-free in August 2008. The only gluteny items allowed are beer, or snack type items that my husband keeps in his office or my daughter keeps in her room. No gluten (except beer) in the kitchen or main living areas. My husband and kids agreed to this ahead of time. I told them it would be a lot easier for...

I just found this regarding glucose syrup. It says it is gluten-free, FWIW: Open Original Shared Link

Hi! I'd like to join you, too. I started Weight Watchers the day after Thanksgiving, and by Valentine's Day I lost 16 lbs and reached my goal weight. Now I'm maintaining by tracking calories using an online tracker (MyPlate, on the Livestrong website), rather than continue to pay the monthly fee for WW Online. Like some of you, when I was diagnosed...

I've been on WW for the past month and have lost 9 lbs. Ideally, I'd like to lose 8 more. My favorite snacks are 94% fat-free microwave popcorn, or hot-air popped popcorn. Also veggies and hummus! And fruit like apples, clementines, bananas. All good snacks. I used to love trail mix and almonds, but it's too many points so I mostly avoid them now. ...

Our Whole Foods here doesn't carry Udi's. I requested it, but they couldn't tell me if they could/would carry it. Thanks!

At what store did you buy it? Thanks.

Schar white bread is really, truly good. I haven't found it in any local stores but you can order it from Gluten Free Mall or some other sites. It's expensive (of course) and the slices are small, but they don't have that icky rice flour taste. That reminds me of the time I was on a vacation and there was an In-n-Out Burger near our hotel. I decided to...
