  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. 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?
  4. You can toss in some fruit, too. An apple or a box of raisins. I love having peanut butter on a rice cake.
  5. 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?
  6. What brands do you use for sauce/tortilla?
  7. 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.
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. 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!
  11. 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.
  12. 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...
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. 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...
  16. A little background on me. I've had problems (diahrea, cramping, bloating, constipation, pain) for about a year and finally went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago. He said he wanted to rule out a few things and gave me a blood test--turned out positive for gliadin antibodies. So that positive blood test along with symptoms makes him think I have Celiac's...
  17. I noticed that Coke is listen on here, but not Pepsi. ??? https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-55104176262.24
  18. I have an appt for my endoscopy (biopsy) on Tuesday. What is it like? Are you awake? It says I will be given medication to make me "sleepy and relaxed"... but that means I'm awake right? Do you feel anything going on during it? Afterwards... do you feel any discomfort? When will I be "back to normal?" Thanks. Kind of nervous.
  19. I had a positive blood test for the antibodies a couple weeks ago. I haven't had my biopsy yet. Anyhow, my father was visiting his gastro (for a regular colonoscopy) and he brought up that his grown daughter (me) might have Celiac's. The doctor asked how he knows and he mentions that I had a positive blood test. The doctor asked if I had the biopsy...
  20. This happened to me, too. My son was born two weeks early and about two hours after his birth, I hemorrhaged badly. My milk did not come in for five days due to that and I had trouble nursing.
  21. I think the blood test results should be able to tell you a lot. I had my blood tests done two weeks ago. My doctor called with the results one week later. He said I had a positive to the test for gliadin antibodies. So, now I go to see a gastroentologist for a biopsy as the next step. Since it's in your family, it seems like that might be what you...
  22. I was really sick. I had hyperemesis gravidarum, which is basically severe morning sickness. I was hospitalized for dehydration, on anti-nausea medication, etc. I threw up 20-30 times per day for the first 6 months. The last 2.5 months I was sick probably once a day. But I threw up for the entire pregnancy and during labor. I went into labor 2 weeks...
  23. I've never had any problems like this in my life. I'm 30 years old. For the last year or so, I've had problems (diahhrea, etc) off and on. I finally went to the doctor about it a week ago and he did blood tests. He called me this morning and told me that I tested positive for Gliadin antibodies and he wants me to see a specialist because I might have...
