    Your blood tested twice positive for antibodies so I would say you do have celiac disease. The endoscopy can be a false negative. To start on the gluten-free diet, start with simple whole foods you prepare yourself. I would stay away from processed foods for awhile until you are adjusted. If you eat this way for about a month then you can add new foods...

    Wasn't there another poster who's dr said they were a mild positive so they could eat gluten a few times a month? Ha...sometimes I wish people who insist they know more about your condition than you do could walk a mile in our shoes...spend a day in our bathroom...

    My box sends you to gluedots.com for info. I didn't see an ingredients list but you can contact them, they had a contact button. I use them a lot but I don't eat them or put them in my mouth like a youngster might.

    Does your dr consider your H. Pylori healed?

    I think you already know the answer to your question but it's hard to face that you may have to change the focus of your career. Can you specialize in another aspect of the company or change your baking to gluten-free in a company that specializes?

    I've found I do better with very low grain also. I haven't cut them out completely but I'm not eating them every day as I was. It really cut out the abdominal pain. Have you tried taking feverfew for your headaches? It really helped my daughter. Cut down on the number of headaches and shortened the duration when they did occur.

    That is so helpful. Thank you so very much. It's just so hard telling everyone that my test were negative but I still have to stay away from gluten. They will think....oh my...she got tested and she's still not happy. You know how people are. Even those closest to us. Not that this will stop me from staying gluten-free. I'm not sure why you have...

    Theoretically, gluten intolerants have no damage and no autoimmune response; they only have symptoms. So, if this is true, then those with GI cannot heal (nothing to heal, no damage) and cannot return to eating gluten. There are three ways you might react to gluten; if you have celiac disease, gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy. There is no cure...

    I disagree that just because you are lactose intolerant you also cannot tolerate soy. I've lactose intolerant for 33 years but have used soy daily for many years. If you can't handle soy, but don't assume you can't unless you try it. If you like it like I do, it's a good solution and available in any grocery store. Many people reported that it takes...

    I would agree that this sounds like a histamine reaction or an allergy. Sometimes they lay in wait until our gluten issues are in hand then jump out and make us itch. Do you think you might have a problem with MSG? What ingrediants are in the two foods you most suspect?

    I don't go for the exercise, so I'm probably missing something! I usually have Constant Comment tea, my favorite, rest as much as I need to and eat all the safe food my body asks for. One of my symptoms is usually ravenous hunger. I like a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. I also take extra B12.

    How were you diagnosed?

    I saw that another poster used "naked" to describe how they needed their meat served. That worked pretty well when I ate out this weekend. The word naked kind of grabs their attention. I also sometimes ask for the offending item to only be served on the side. Some waitstaff just think it's impossible to serve someone without say croutons. They just aren...

    Do you know what you reacted to that weekend?
  15. ang1e0251
    That is incorrect. You DO need to be eating gluten for several weeks before and endoscopy. U of Chicago recommends 4-6 weeks, I believe.

    My standard breakfast is gluten-free corn flakes from Mother's with almond milk and fresh blueberries (my one splurge), then it's catch-as-catch-can the remainder of the day. I would say while you are healing, to avoid all alternate grains except pure ones like cereal which you say you cannot tolerate. So no grains for now. Because of the oatmeal...

    My response might not be very popular but I think you've been tested to death! Your system sounds like it has been through the ringer! Your accupuncture seems to be helping you and now that you are serious about the diet, you system is responding. It may take more time to heal, for some it's at least two years. I know you are impatient and bored with...

    Don't worry because you are rural, I am too and there are alternatives. You can buy all kinds of specialty items on the internet, if you choose. But regular mainstream whole foods are in every market and very good food for the person with celiac disease. Do you have access to a large chain grocery or a Walmart you could shop at maybe once a month? They...

    Dr. Carolyn Dean recommends 600 mg magnesium for an average size adult.

    This isn't really a health department issue. Even though we refer to it as "cross contaminated" they don't consider it to be unless the contamination is botulism or a bacteria, etc. It's not their jurisdiction. It is directed to the labeling laws. You are not going to get anywhere with that in one little shop. I think approaching them directly was the...

    The gluten and dyes don't have anything to do with each other. It's just that dyes can cause skin rashes and behavior problems in some. It's more noticable in children but that doesn't mean you can't be sensitive as an adult.

    I have been in the food business for most of my life. You know when you prepare food for the public, you have grave responsibility to make it safe. This is pounded into you by your health department and most states even require you to pass a food safety course now. I have my license and am regularly inspected to maintane it. Any person preparing specialty...

    Do you think you could be having a reaction to red dye? It can also come out in the skin and behavior. Blue and yellow dye also but red seems to be the worst. And with nightshade problems don't forget paprika. It's nightshade and it is used in a lot of seasonings like seasoned salt and chips like Doritos.

    The three stores I've been to in Indiana and Arizona were very clean with helpful employees. I always liked their unusual food offerings and the fun atmosphere. I think they carry as much gluten-free as my local Kroger.

    Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection usually caused by the skin being scatched open then infected. This is because the child usually has an itchy rash or bug bite. Children can have nails with any kind of bacteria, but impetigo is either staph or strep depending on the type. If you had impetigo, then you may have had a rash, maybe DH?, then scratched...
