    My son is a Junior at NC State University. He has lived off campus his entire college experience thus far so hasn't had too much difficulty. But it has been a challenge none the less. He wants to meet with the "higher ups" and attempt to get some changes made and some gluten-free awareness there on campus for other students, because he knows they are out...

    Well, can someone at least tell me the difference in seeing the antigliadin antibodies vs the t-transglutaminase antibodies? I'm just trying to figure out why this particular one was higher when all the others were improved. Thanks.

    I am one of those people who do not have a strong reaction physically when I accidently get glutened. It is frustrating as I start feeling bad days later...I think...and have no idea what in the world I ate. I have still had a lot of days where mentally I was off and had a great deal of fibromyalgia symptoms. I was at the docs last week for bronchitis...

    My PERSONAL suggestion would be to never buy ANY rice pasta but Tinkyada! I've heard from many celiacs that it is the best brand and I believe it. Even my husband and teenage son who are not Celiac eat it with no problem. Now I WILL say...cook it according to the directions. The first time I made it it was like eating an earth worm! It was soft on the...

    Open Original Shared Link Here's the link to the recipe. I remember the gal that created it saying that she intentionally used several whole grains so that it was lower on the Glycemic Index. Hopefully that would be a plus in your daughter's case with the diabetes.

    Didn't she have SOME symptoms for you to get her tested? My son was 18 when diagnosed and initially he went in total denial, but it only lasted a few days. I had to let him own it though, but he was already "of age" where your daughter is not. He, like me, did not have the diarrhea and chronic aches, etc, but he was SO fatigued and finally was able...

    I have had some gnaw through an entire GAMMA SEAL lid to get to the bird seed inside a 5 gallon bucket! I would hate to think what they could do to a person's leg!

    My grocery bill is getting pretty scary! I have found some things online, but it seems Amazon has one thing cheaper, then someone else has something else. I love Amazon because I can get free shipping...that's better than paying for gas! So what items have you chosen to purchase online because it was cheaper and where did you order from? Also, if...

    I have read some old threads on Juice Plus when it had barley in it. It looks like now is it rice bran and oat bran. Do any of you take this currently? Any problems with it? Is there anything out there comparable to it?

    It couldn't be that because it was my first one since going gluten-free. The sleepiness started BEFORE I had the latee and was the reason I got it. I probably won't do it again though because even with a lactaid, my belly gurgled like crazy afterwards.

    Yesterday I could not stay awake unless I was up and walking. I've had this one other day, a few weeks ago, and I just napped....two naps of two hours each and I was STILL tired. Yesterday I had a lot to do so I fought it, finally getting a Starbucks Latte at 5 p.m. so the caffiene would help. It just dawned on me today that this might be part of me...

    Would you find Thai noodles at a traditional grocery store chain? My lazy 18 year old son is lamenting the passing of his Ramen noodles! My son is in college, and has just been diagnosed for a couple weeks. He still eats hotdogs, just without the bun so far. Just make sure to get the gluten-free ones. He also likes the pizza shells mentioned above...

    My son is only 18 and has been diagnosed for less than 2 weeks. We went to Whole Foods and he found the Kinnikinnick pizza crusts and wanted to try them. He was REALLY pleased with his first one...used Classico for the sauce, turkey pepperoni and mozz cheese. He was thrilled to have pizza, since so much else has been taken away.

    Is there ANY kind of cheese dip that is gluten-free? Or a recipe?
  15. Beth in NC
    Sounds good! I'm a crock pot AND Mexican fiend!!!!
  16. Beth in NC
    I was thinking the meat being cooked on the same grill as the other stuff...like flour tortillas. I didn't think about cheese nachos...I know cheese dip is out!!! WAHHHHH!!
  17. Beth in NC
    WOW! I wish I could sneak some of these into our favorite Mexican restaurant!!! We used to go to this place twice a week. Just chips and salsa there is gettin' kinda old.....but still good!
  18. Beth in NC
    I really appreciate all the help!!! I haven't made final decisions yet, but you all have given me tons of ideas...well, MOST of you! LARRY!

    I'm going on about 7 weeks gluten-free and want to have our college kids from a Bible study group over for a meal. Myself and my son are now gluten-free, so I thought it might be easy enough without calling too much attention to us. I've got a bum back, so I'm only up for short periods of time, but thought I could have the kids bring things that would be...

    I have read about people getting follow up blood work to check to see how they are doing overall with their gluten-free diet. Is this just another Celiac panel? Sooooooo, my question is...if the panel is so inaccurate so much of the time, with false negatives and such, how much stock can someone really put in a second panel?

    What about the Blue Diamond Nut Thins? They have a cheese flavored one now. It isn't a cheese it, but they are really good!

    Open Original Shared Link Really informative. That is what I was trying to figure out. So many Celiacs don't just have symptoms that are related to nutrient deficiencies, but things that go further than that...Hashimoto's, for example. thanks everybody!

    OK, for my OWN benefit....I used to be a nurse, so this stuff is important to me!! LOL! Doesn't something happen in the small intestine that allows the gluten to enter the bloodstream? So where ever that blood carries it, which is everywhere, the immune system will be attacking it right along, right?

    I think this is fine for him to say to others, but HE is still trying to understand it completely. He was in Alaska when I was doing all my initial research so he didn't learn any of that initial stuff. Me telling him what would happen to the rest of his body was part of what convinced him he needed to tackle this. He was ready to just ignore it.

    I remember seeing somewhere on the board in the last few weeks where someone described what happens with Celiac in layman's terms. There were a few technical words, as you can't get away from it, but can anyone help me out? I can find tons of stuff on the small intesting damage, but my son isn't getting why this attacks other areas of the body and most...
