My mom has been the stubborn one about getting tested after I told her what my doctor suggested. But when she found out about my nephew she called me today asking me about certain foods in her home! LOL! She knows I ordered the Gluten Shopping Guide! She actually tossed her wheat bread she has been eating over 40 years in the trash can! ROFL! Two weeks...

Well family! First I got diagnosed and now my nephew got diagnosed so there are 2 official family members with Celiac Disease! Now my mom is getting tested for we think she too has it! Not to mention a few others in my family that I also think may have it because of certain symptoms! My gastrologist told me that it can be genetic and other family members...

Hi friends! I was on the forum last week and the week before suspecting Celiac after my doctor I went to see because of getting sick alot with my intestines and he ordered labs and I am scheduled tomorrow for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. He wanted to check for Celiac. My labs were positive! And he did confirm Celiac Disease. I ordered the grocery shopping...

I was diagnosed with Malabsortion problems and now am on RX Vitamins instead of regular ones. I have to take 50000 IU's of Vitamin D and a B-12 Injection every week. I am not sure which vitamins you are Malasorbing though. But my B-12 was terrible when I got diagnosed with A Pernious Anemia. And my B-12 was not that great either. They normally give you...

Hi Wendy! I am new to this site and did not even think about Mascara! Darn! Having this disease is not fun at all! So many things that have hidden gluten and we don't know what does and what doesn't! Kind of bad when we have something like this that makes us sick! And i wonder how many of us are out there that are not even diagnosed yet! Maybe somebody will...

Fresh figs are awesome for constipation. You may have t contact the company if you buy online but there is a fig syrup that really helps with constipation that is supposed to be all naturally made. Check into this! I get boughts of constipation alot and hate it and my mother has a few fig trees that get ripe in the summer. I freeze them, make fig bread and...

This article was very useful for me also! I was worried about some of my recipes that I make at home and never thought about Corn Chex or Tortillas as using for Meatballs and Meat Loaf and I make them alot! And fried chicken! Great using the potato flakes! Thanks for sharing this! I too even learned something about certain foods that I can eat now for dinners...

Hello my new friends. I just bought the Gluten Free Shopper's guide and was wondering if it was worth buying. I have been going in my kitchen and see so much that has wheat flour or corn starch and really am not sure what to buy at the supermarket. I eat and cook alot with creamed soups and like cream of mushroom soup mixed with many meals, cream of tomato...

Not fully 100 percent diagnosed yet but am waiting on results and one more test. At lunch time today I took out my usual can of soup but decided I wanted Cream of Tomato Soup. Looked at the ingredients and it had wheat flour! What??? My Cream of Tomato Soup. Darn! LOL! I too love donuts and cake this time of year. Hmmm! Am a beginner here but want to learn...

I too have the tooth problems and gums are all messing up. But I am B-12 and Vtamin D Anemia requiring injections and RX Vitamins instead of regular over the counter vitamins. I am in the process of getting them pulled and getting dentures. My mouth is ruined because of this disease if it is what I have. That is another reason my doctor tested me and is...

I like to cook and once I learn what I can use I am pretty sure I will be able to share some of my goodies wth you all. But I have alot to learn now! Thank-you all for sharing with me. I guess now I...

Oh God! I wished I would not have read this posting not because of you saying anything bad. I am going to be going in on December 19th for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy at the same time. And the thoughts of having both done pure scare me and having pain afterwards. Right before Christmas too! I sure hope I don't end up with pain like that. That will scare...

Thank-you Lisa! Ohh! I have all the labs done now and await the biopsy when I have the Endoscopy. Doctor wants the biopsy and to examine me to see what kind of damage I have in my intestines. So now it's just a wait and see thing. In the meantime I was told to eat alot of pasta and enjoy while I can for after that biopsy they want me to go ahead and start...

I found it! I just hope I posted it right! If it would not have been for her I would be in limbo trying to learn this nasty disease! She really has been so helpful! Thanks for being my teacher! LOL! Linda

My father too served in the military and was also exposed to agent orange. Funny that you mentioned that. My mom in later years starting having Celiac Symptoms but never got diagnosed or tested for the disease. The Celiac part though I think came from my mom's side. Then passed to me and then passed to possible 4 other family members. But that agent orange...
