So, my blood test was positive for antibodies. I just got my biopsy results today by mail (doctor's office didn't even call!) and it says: "Mild inflammation in stomach. Duodenum does not show Celiac Disease." So, now what? I have a theory and I'm wondering if this could be the case. Before I went gluten-free, I ate basically all gluten, all the...

Here's an easy gluten-free recipe. 1) Preheat oven to 350. 2) Brown 1 lb hamburger in pan and then drain. 3) Bring water to a boil and then boil 2 cups of Uncle Ben's White Rice for about 5 minutes (it will only be partially cooked). Drain. 4) Combine the browned hamburger, partially cooked rice, and one jar of gluten-free spaghetti sauce (I use Prego...

I bought some Tinkyada pasta and I'm looking for good recipes. How do you make macaroni and cheese with the Tinkyada elbows? What kind of cheese do you put on it? Any other good pasta recipes?

You can toss in some fruit, too. An apple or a box of raisins. I love having peanut butter on a rice cake.

A family friend who is a Celiac told me to read Against the Grain. I'm thinking though, could I learn anything from these books that I don't learn here on celiac.com? Are there any books you would recommend?

What brands do you use for sauce/tortilla?

Wishbone has three gluten-free Italian ones that are great: Italian, Robusto Italian, and Classic House Italian The only Ken's one that is gluten-free I think is Italian w/ aged romano.

I emailed them and received this response. It's not a lot, but there are a few options there. Bacon Burger with no bun, no dill pickles, no mayo Baked Potato Soup Chili's Filet Steak - no garlic toast Chips - No Salsa Chocolate Shake Citrus Fire Chicken and Shrimp Flamed-grilled Ribeye - no garlic toast Salmon and Rice with Steamed Veggies with...

Yes, I have different reactions... sometimes to the same exact foods! One night, a Domino's pizza could give me horrible "D". Another night, just pain, bloating. Another night it could give me constipation. And another night it would cause nothing at all! No problems! That was why I let this go for a year because it was not consistent so I felt like...

Is whey gluten-free? Also is "glutamate" gluten-free? I would assume it's not because it starts with glut, but I haven't seen it listed anywhere. It seems like every soup has glutamate in it!

Great! Thank you! I thought it was strange that it wasn't listed on that list... how could it be different from Coke? Glad to hear it's not.

I'm 30 years old and was just diagnosed with celiac disease via blood test (endoscopy on Tuesday). I have read that there is often a genetic link with celiac disease. No one else in my family has it (that they know about). I have a 2 year old son. Is there anything I can do to prevent him from getting this? Should I make sure he doesn't get over...

The symptom I had at the beginning of pregnancy that would have nothing to do with celiac disease is very very sore breasts. All the other early symptoms of pregnancy (nausea, fatigue) can also be celiac disease symptoms, you're right. But my breasts have never felt the way they did they that first week I found out I was pregnant. I think only pregnancy...

I had migraines during my pregnancy and sorry but all you can take is Tylenol, nothing stronger. What I found that helped also was these pads you can buy that stick on your forehead and stay cold for 30 minutes. I was on Tigan for anti-nausea during my pregnancy but cannot say if it is gluten-free or not (I was not diagnosed at the time). I find...

Thanks so much for your posts. This is the reality I have to hear. I think it would be easier for me to go gluten-free if the damage was more tangible. I don't get sick every time I eat gluten. Not even half the time. If I got sick every time, then the temptation to cheat wouldn't be there because I would know that I would be "punished" every time...
