    I am curious what everyone's age here was at diagnosis. Whenever I heard of someone having Celiac before, I assumed they knew since they were babies. So, imagine my surprise when I found out at 36. Now, I know better.

    I wanted to ask the exact same question. My daughter is about to turn 4, and I just learned I had Celiac last week. But, I have had more gas since having her, so i am assuming my pg did unmask it. With my pregnancy I also had severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP, so that scares me as it is. But, now I am also worried another AI issues will come out if I...

    I was told by my GP's nurse that I tested positive for Celiac 2 weeks ago, so this past Friday, I met with a GI Dr. Basically, I paid him my co-pay to be told what I already knew. And then he told me I *need* to have a biopsy, even though all the blood work was positive (I need to ask for exact numbers, but I know that all tests were positive - though he...

    For dinner tonight, we had an Amy's rice crust pizza. I expected to take a bite, spit it out, and cry...but I actually liked it more than the regular Amy's pizza...hooray!!!

    That is interesting about picking apart sandwiches. Whenever I order a sandwich anywhere, my plate usually looks like there is more food on it than I started with, since I always pick away the bread. I always just felt it was needless filler Unless the bread was amazing, of course I also love quinoa and its nutritional value, however, the last ...

    My thoughts are going to your friend and her child. Reading that makes me feel very silly for even getting stressed about this. I have a friend, whose daughter was diagnosed with AML at 3 as well, and just received her bone marrow transplant 2 weeks ago. I cannot imagine the strength it takes for those families.

    Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome, and encouraging words. CeliacMom2008, thanks for the tip on Rose's Bakery. I am actually going to be in Evanston tomorrow, so I will stop by there for sure!! And I know I mentioned eating Dunkin' Donuts and McD's, and I was just using them as an example of how it is ironic that people who eat that stuff...

    I apologize if this has already been a topic. I spent a couple of hours this weekend looking at gluten-free cooking books, and so now I realize you need to use this or guar gum as a binder, correct? The thing is...what I read about xanthum gum, to me seems to be in the same category as an artifical sweetener, as in, is it not natural, and not...

    I like to laugh and say, well I have always preferred rice to pasta and bread, and that is the truth. I love rice. Seafood risotto is my favorite ultimate dish. But, the past 2 weeks, I have eaten rice like crazy (mostly brown rice), because it is the one thing that will make me feel better if I have an upset tummy, and I am so worried to eat too much...

    I did have all my vitamins checked in this last appointment, as I do every year since I don't eat meat. I have always done this for me, and my daughter. Of course, maybe the nurse left that out, but I did ask, specifically if anything else was out of range. And I do know I asked the Dr specifically to check iron, vit b and folate. As well as my thyroid...

    Hello everyone! Two weeks ago, after my yearly physical, and me telling my Dr I was having reflux....she did a bunch of GI blood tests, and a week later, the nurse calls, and tells me I have h.pylori, everything else looks fine. I then ask how my gluten test was...she said, "oh yes, it says positive for celiac". I was in shock, totally in shock!! ...
