Hi. I was diagnosed by entero labs as having a dqb1 501 and dqb1 601 gene. I have been gluten free for about 9 weeks. I also just managed to get an endoscopy for next Monday at a celiac center. My question is will my endoscopy come back negative?? I told the receptionist that I have been gluten free for 9 weeks. She put me on hold to ask the doctor...

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you are saying. It is just that I do not know when I am getting glutened. I do not have severe symptoms and am still learning about other food allergens I may have. In other words I am newly diagnosed and do not know my body that well yet. I also hate to admit this, but I was a punky kid growing up. I never...

You can try adding potatoes (sweet or regular) if tolerated to your breakfast. If time is an issue, certain frozen brands are gluten free and can be made by just popping in the oven or toaster. For other snacks, I have been on to blue diamond nut thins (found at whole foods), but they are not very filling and they are still made with rice....does...

There is this new pizza place that will be opening up in town that will supposedly be selling gluten free pizza. I don't think I can trust it. I have no idea how the pizza is prepared in a pizza place--whether the dough is made there or shipped in and whether or not they will have 2 different ovens for gluten and non-gluten. Even if they do have these...

Thanks for all your replies. I guess you really can't trust anyone...so depressing... elonwy: thanks for the heads up on godiva--very good to know Ohsotired: what is a mild case of celiac?

I have been using Nutribiotic vegan vanilla rice protein. See below. Open Original Shared Link I also use hemp protein, but it is not as tasty.

I was not sure where to post this, but I contacted cheesecake factory because that is the food I will probably most miss and even though sugar is out of question for the moment with me, I would like to one day eat a cheesecake again.... Here is there response: Thank you for your email! Our Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake is gluten free. However, the...

Thanks so much Gfpaperdoll. I actually went to Barnes and Noble this morning and purchased "Dangerous Grains" and started to read some of it- good book. "Good Calories Bad Calories" sounds like a very interesting book. I will definitely have to get that one and check out the others. Wow- I guess you are avoiding all grains such as corn and rice...

Thanks GFPapeerdoll! I can see I have a lot of learning and research to do. This is all starting to make sense with everything I have been going through my entire life. I have never been coordinated (can't dance for anything- like Elaine on Seinfeld) and have little proprioception and believe it is probably related. I thought I was just spastic. Anyway...

Hi. I am looking for a mayonnaise that has no soy, vinegar (except for apple cider vinegar), gluten and all sugar (except stevia) including things like agave nectar, evaporated cane juice, etc. Anyone no of anything like that? I am a little freakish about making mayo. myself bc it would consist of raw eggs. If not does anyone know of a different way to...

I ate a Glutino cheese duo pizza a few weeks ago for the first time and had severe flushing. My face felt very warm. When I looked in the mirror my skin was red and blotchy all over my face, arms and torso. Has anyone else experienced a reaction like this?? I am pretty sure it was from the Glutino pizza because I keep a diary of all my foods and that...

Thanks Darlindeb! I don't know what you are eating. Corn, soy, rice & gluten are in everything! I have been reading a lot on this forum the past few days and it is so depressing. It seems people start out finding they have a gluten intolerance/celiac and then they find out they have so many more allergies... It is such a process to find out...

LOL!!!! I have been looking for a protein bar that meets this criteria for the longest time. They don't exist!!!! The only packaged food that comes close to those requirements that I know of are Terra chips original. They are actually quite tasty too. There is however some sugar in it, but this comes from the actual food. Is not added. The body does...

darlindeb, I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of symptoms you have had with the soy? For some reason I have always avoided soy milk- not sure why- just did not like the way it made me feel I guess. As for the processed foods I would eat them all the time and I am not sure I ever noticed anything, but I was not exactly looking for something...

Thanks Darlindeb and Shay!! That was very helpful. Shay- I am actually treating myself for candida too. I have been sugar free for a month now and I have been taking lots of probiotics, antifungals, etc. It is so frustrating that I can not have the foods I was eating before. I was eating out all the time-- no more outback blooming onion.
