    My goodness, I hope I don't have Autism or another learning disability. So it is possible then that my toe-walking could be linked to the digestive damage caused by gluten-intolerance? And to the first response, I've never been tested for any muscle problems, but I do play sports and I haven't had any noticeable problems with balance or coordination.

    Hey everybody, I've been walking on my tip-toes my entire life. All the time when barefoot, and then a little heel-to-toe action in shoes, but always more towards the toe side. I recently read a post from a few years ago on an un-gluten related forum where someone mentioned that digestive issues had been linked to kids walking on their toes. So heres...

    Ohhhh I didn't think about that...In the past I've had a lot of problems with deep fried chinese food, like sweet and sour pork etc., so maybe I do have a problem with MSG. I'll do some investigating when I get back to school.

    Hey everybody, so I've read about the policy of labeling Maltodextrin if it's produced from wheat, but I wonder how strongly enforced it really is? I ate chicken the other day that was soaking in a chicken stock that had maltodextrin as an additive, and I felt absolutely awful afterwards. Then yesterday, I ate some gluten-free chips (at least, according...

    Alright! It seems tough at first, I know saying good bye to my lifestyle of burgers, burritos and whatever else I felt like eating was very difficult, but honestly I spent a day feeling depressed and then was jumping for joy when it hit me that they had figured out what was wrong (I was afraid I had read stories about people with Celiac or other allergies...

    My roommate has been telling me that I've been sleep talking as well (now like 1-2 months gluten free.) In the past I know it's happened when I'm particularly sick. I notice now though that I get really stressed out sometimes, and I have a lot of dreams where either I can't eat anything at all or everything I eat has gluten in it and I feel terrible....

    I'm at UC Santa Cruz, anybody in the area roaming these boards?

    Hey, so it says on the website that it may be processed on equipment that also processes wheat. Has anyone had any problems with Jay Robb's Egg White Protein Powder in vanilla or chocolate?

    This is actually something I'm curious about as well, will eating dairy before full recovery cause further damage, or just unpleasant symptoms (in my case)?

    I really want to get out of the dining hall, because I'm pretty sure CC or mislabeling/miscommunication are inevitable, but I don't drive and we don't have a kitchen in our dorms... Next year I can move off campus, which would allow me to shop and cook for myself, but until then I'm not really sure what to do, except keep stressing to the dining officials...

    Hey everybody. I'm living on campus as a freshman in college, and I'm eating most of my meals in the dining hall here, which is working out okay. Every week they seem to get more with a program that suits me, as I badger them 3 times a day as to the contents in their various meal options. They have rice bread in the dining hall, and they usually have...

    Hey guys, I've been gluten free for a few weeks now (aside from a few cross contaminations and a mistake or 2) and I'm having a lot of problems with dairy and sugar. If I drink soda or eat candy that is gluten free and processed away from wheat or other contaminants I get digestive symptoms as if I've eaten gluten. I can eat a little cheese on a taco or...

    Hey guys, I don't know if any of you live in California, but I'm a freshman at UC Santa Cruz, and it's one of the most amazing places to have Celiac. I just got diagnosed with gluten intolerance (not proven celiac) about 2 weeks ago, and the guys in the dining hall were way ahead of me. They already had rice bread, rice tortillas, they cook their french...

    I'm also very hungry, I went from eating 5 meals a day with gluten to eating about 4 without it, and I'm constantly looking for things to munch on. I like to carry almonds with me (1 cup has like 28 grams of protein!) and at meal times I try to get a lot of lean meats in, as well as veggies and some sort of good carbs like potatoes. I'm also a big fan...

    Umm I'm not sure. I got the blood test, if that's what you mean by gene test? It came back negative, but I've heard it has a 50% false negative outcome, so I don't know how helpful that is either way. And yes, very good advice staying off the booze, I had my last drunken venture last saturday and the day after was AWFUL. I'm done for a while for sure...

    You're right, it was Enterolab. Is it worth getting more testing for Celiac when the treatment is the same? By the sounds of things, either way gluten is a major irritant of my system and always will be, so would diagnosing Celiac just be for my peace of mind? That's great advice for a diet. Right now I mostly eat eggs/sausage or bacon for breakfast...

    For the most part I stopped drinking milk because I noticed early on, way before my diagnosis that my worst days were when I drank these protein shakes I used to have all the time, which I made with 2 cups of milk. It's been pretty tough to pinpoint, because before I gave up gluten everything I ate bothered me. EVERYthing. I'm assuming it felt that way...

    Okay, so reviewing my test results, it says I have "active dietary gluten sensitivity" and that if I don't go off gluten I'll cause damage to my small intestines, as well as a long list of other things. So I guess that answers my question about that. I'd say it was about 4 months, give or take between my symptoms starting and my diagnosis. It also...

    So, when you say damage, is there a difference between Celiac and regular intolerance? Or is damage caused no matter what you have?

    Is everybody sensitive just to exposure to gluten? My acupuncturist's daughter is gluten intolerant, and apparently she got sick because crouton touched her salad. It's hard to tell how sensitive I am well I'm still in the recovery process...

    Hello everybody, I'm a freshman in college and got diagnosed with gluten intolerance last wednesday. The test which confirmed it was a stool test, and from what I understand I do not have Celiac disease because I have still been absorbing nutrients while eating gluten, but I can't take gluten and am supposed to stay off of it permanently. This was a pretty...
