    That's interesting. My son has had green poops for years. I have been asking his pediatrician about it for a long time, and I never seem to get any answers. I had him evaluated for celiac last month, and so far his blood tests are normal, but I was just diagnosed and carry DQ2, and I just know that at the very least he's gluten intolerant. I really want...

    I've been gluten-free for 4 weeks now, and I have noticed over the last week that I am much more focused at work. It's insane how much more productive I've been over the last week or so. I still completely blank sometimes in the middle of a conversation, but even that's improving greatly.

    Me too! I was getting ready to start SB and was on message boards looking at different ideas, etc. I came across a post about celiac and how the person's symptoms were so much better. I chuckled to myself thinking, "of course they will get better if you aren't eating wheat." I read the post anyway and as she listed her symptoms, I checked them off in...

    With this particular restaurant I feel ok, my brother and sister both work there. That night my brother requested one specific cook make our dinners and then he went back and watched. After I got sick, I went online and looked at the allergy information and think that it was something in the mushroom and onion combo because the steak topper has wheat in...

    I've also lost weight since I went gluten-free. I'm three weeks into the diet and I have lost almost 9 lbs. I was 30-40 lbs overweight pre-diagnosis and couldn't lose the weight no matter what I did. I started running in May and was up to 6 miles at a time, but despite all the training, I was gaining rather than losing. I also found that I was ravenously...

    My digestive issues seem to have improved, fortunately, but oh, the headache I now have... Restaurants make me nervous, although this has been a good thing for my bank account...I've saved a lot of lunch money so far this month!

    My mom and I were diagnosed three weeks ago and have been gluten-free ever since. Tonight we went out to dinner. We talked to the chef who would be cooking our meal and she said that we should be ok with our meal (we got the same thing). She made sure to clean the grill before she cooked our meal. Well, a little while ago, I got major stomach cramps and...

    That's interesting, because I noticed the opposite problem. I was much hungrier before going gluten free. I've been gluten-free for exactly three weeks and I am finding that I am not ravenously hungry before each meal, and I am not eating as much when I do eat. I used to stuff myself silly. I've lost 8 pounds and the bloat is completely gone. I am thinking...

    I've only been gluten-free for 9 days, but I've noticed such an amazing difference in how I feel that whenever I want something like real pasta or a non gluten-free beer, or just one bite of the grilled cheese sandwich I made for my 2 year old, I just remind myself of how far I've come already and how big of a setback that one bite or sip would be. So far...

    I've been gluten-free for one week and I am noticing improvements. I am not nearly as bloated and puffy, and as a result I've lost about 5 lbs. My stools are starting to sink to the bottom instead of floating and the oil slick is gone. I'm not as constipated. I am not nearly as gassy as I was, which is absolutely amazing. I don't have as much indigestion...

    Wow, there are a lot of us on the Rt. 30 corridor! I am 6 days into being gluten-free as my mom and I were diagnosed last week. I suspect my almost 4 year old son is too, I had him down to see Dr. Fasano last week, but at the time I didn't know my results and he hasn't fallen completely off the charts yet. Dr. Fasano is doing a wait and see, he wants me...

    My mom and I got our blood results back today and both of us tested positive, so our gastroenterologist went ahead and put us on the gluten free diet. He said that we didn't need an endoscopy because as far as he is concerned, we have it. I'm ok with that, quite frankly, I'm not too excited about the idea of having an endoscopy anyway. My mom feels so...

    We saw Dr. Fasano today and the appointment went well. He wants to try to treat the constipation and wait for my test results before proceeding with the celiac testing. He wants to see us back in two months, to monitor his growth and to see if the symptoms improve with the miralax. He said that his symptoms are certainly suspicious, and I was glad that...

    My oldest son will be 4 in November. He has always been rather small. He went to the doctor last month for a sinus infection and when he was weighed, he weighted 31.7 lbs. At his appointment the pediatrician and I talked about how small he was and we agreed that he probably drinks too much milk, so I really made a concerted effort to watch his milk intake...
