    IrishHeart, GREAT suggestion! I love almonds, but I stopped eating them some time ago because of the fragility of my teeth (broke three molars at one sitting last year). I'll definitely trying soaking some to see what happens. Also, does anyone know a good source of Brazil nuts?? I can't seem to find any...

    Here's a list of "regular", processed foods that your parents can purchase at any supermarket that are all gluten free: Open Original Shared Link It has more than a hundred pages of foods such as enchilada sauce, candy, chili, salad dressings, etc. that are all gluten free. I'd like to add that fast food french fries are not all gluten free, because...

    Cocoa Pebbles and Fruit Pebbles are gluten free--you might consider buying them instead.

    Good information on the selenium--thanks! I have Hashimoto's, which I've treated with Armour Thyroid for the past three years. I'll try eating the brazil nuts--as I recall, they're not too hard (have extremely brittle teeth).

    You might try checking out this group of teens who have celiac disease--they're a nationwide advocacy group for teens with celiac: Open Original Shared Link Lots of support there!

    From my past research, I learned that graying of the hair is caused by the depletion of catalase. Unfortunately, simply taking catalase supplements may not do the trick (don't be fooled by the many products on the market that state that taking their catalase supplement will stop the graying process). Depletion of catalase occurs naturally throughout our...

    Welcome to the Forum! I just wanted to add that many people with gluten sensitivity or celiac cannot tolerate soy. I noticed that you mentioned using a soy creamer every day. The first time I tried soy, I rushed myself to the hospital because I was certain I had appendicitis (noticed that you mentioned that possibility, too). So....it may be gluten...

    Here's a Web site that provides you with all the processed foods found at regular supermarkets that are gluten free (even though they don't say so on the packages): Open Original Shared Link It's over 100 pages that list everything you could possibly want to eat (well, except croissants, donuts, etc.). Also, you'll always need to have a pharmacist...

    In my opinion, the best way to go gluten free is to eat only fresh, natural food and to skip eating at restaurants for a while. I was able to stay completely gluten free for the first 18 months. Only then did I start eating gluten-free processed foods from time to time, go out to restaurants occasionally, and even risk a potluck party or two (which I almost...

    I just want to add that when a person removes carbs suddenly from a diet, this lowers one's sugar levels. When sugar levels drop suddenly, symptoms of hypoglycemia crop up--like dizziness, brain fog, fatigue. I believe that this is probably the main reason why people who jump into a gluten-free diet have these types of issues at the beginning. Now, I'm...

    Forget the doctors....just go gluten free.

    So....you've only had the genetic testing? Sorry to break it to you, but there are people with celiac who don't have the so-called celiac genes. It's suspected that there are a number of yet-unidentified genes that also cause celiac, and you may have one of them. Have you also had any bloodwork done? Or an endoscopy? Perhaps you've already shared that...

    My son had these symptoms in high school (he had them during his freshman and sophomore years). I had the same symptoms and was more concerned with what was happening with me than with my son. I thought I was dying. When I had practically given up, I did a search on my symptoms and discovered that there was a disease with every single one of my symptoms...

    I also don't know if you have DH--perhaps you should try cutting out all iodine to see if you get some relief. As for how DH appears and feels like, although my DH does indeed sting and feel really sore, the predominant feature is, indeed, horrible itching. Medical resources consistently state that the itching is a principal feature of DH. As its name...

    A friend of mine from Russia, who recently moved here to the U.S., told me last week that when she went to an American doctor to get antibiotics for an infection, she was amazed to learn that probiotics weren't also prescribed by the doctor. She asked me, "Don't your doctors know medicine??" There's your answer....

    The Phyllo dough, croissants, and mayo without all the junk would ALL be great! I crave all three!! However, the croissants might win out....how I miss them....

    I'm 5'8-1/2", and I was diagnosed at 47. My son, who was diagnosed at almost 16, was supposed to end up between 6'5" and 6'8", but his celiac was triggered when he was 11. He began to lose ground with his height--he was usually the tallest in his grade, but by the end of 8th grade, he was not even one of the tallest in his class. He ended up at 6'3-1/...

    This is something that has concerned me for some time, too. I'm a lifelong runner and exerciser, and my mother was a professional athlete. We both have celiac and are the only ones in the family with high blood pressure that developed in our late-40s. I've always felt that it was somehow connected to celiac disease and have studied about the possible causes...

    You're right, Ravenwoodglass, and I should have worded my response differently. What I meant was that if it is determined that the poster definitely does not have celiac and suffers from diarrhea only as a symptom, she could probably cheat once in a while if she's willing to put up with the diarrhea. However, with the tests and biopsies being so unreliable...

    I'm from the S.F. Bay Area, and I totally understand your need for pizza and fun foods to enjoy with friends. Gluten-free pizza, however, is fairly easy to come by here in California now. Is not available at restaurants where you live now? Do you have any BJ's Restaurants there? It's a chain that offers a gluten-free menu and a fantastic gluten-free pizza...

    Since you've done a lot of research, perhaps you've read that gluten sensitivity is very common (thought to affect 30-40% of Americans). This may be why you had a negative blood test; however, as you know, the tests for celiac are notoriously unreliable. Since there are actually four different blood tests for celiac, I'm wondering if you have had all four...

    This type of situation always upsets me! I have a nephew and niece whose pediatrician believes the same thing, and all the while they are suffering from numerous symptoms of celiac. My mother, uncle, son, daughter, and I all have celiac, but the pediatrician my brother takes his children to appears to be completely ignorant about celiac. I would suggest...
  24. rosetapper23
    Hmmm...yours is an unusual case. You could actually be suffering from any number of things. I'm not sure that celiac is your problem, but hopefully the testing will settle that issue. Your symptoms, however, sound more like gluten sensitivity. Also, believe me, you're not losing your mind even if it might feel like that is happening to you. Here is...

    I read recently that iron anemia can also be associated with neuropathy. How's your iron/ferritin level?
