i take 2 mylan medications and one more med that may or may not be from mylan. did they happen to say that ALL their meds are made without gluten ingredients? i am trying to locate my phone to call, but can't find it (cell phone.) i have been feeling "off" for the past month or two and was blaming it on thyroid. but i am feeling some mild gluten-y symptoms...

YES i think you should try gluten free for you both. as long as you are willing to accept the response to the diet as evidence that you and your child do or do not need to live gluten free, then you really don't have to be tested. your symptoms sound a LOT like mine. and i am 100% different now that i am gluten free. it is THE BEST THING that has ever happened...

i have celiac and i had negative blood test results. and i had my blood test at 33.

please try gluten free for her. one can be gluten intolerant without having celiac. so even if the negative tests are accurate, and i hear they are unreliable in children, she could still be intolerant. my 5 year old didn't sleep. he had a negative blood test, but i decided to try him gluten free anyway. my blood test was negative, too. (my diagnosis...

My husband is very, very supportive of the diet and lifestyle. he is totally on board with how to be gluten free. it is the science that sends him into a panic. if a scientist- a doctor- says that the data isn't complete, he jumps on board. he wants hard facts. he wants to know exactly how much gluten one would have to have before becoming symptomatic, including...

Here is the brief history: my GP did a celiac blood test in aug 2008. negative. went to a GI in March 2009 and had an endoscopy after vomiting everything i ate for 2 weeks. biopsy was positive for excessive lymphocytes, but did not show damage. went gluten free and IMMEDIATELY stopped vomiting and felt better (fatigue, constipation, foggy brain) within...

I can't find the ingredient list on their website, it has worn off my packaging, and I can't call on Saturday. Something glutened me, but not too terribly. The lip gloss that i pulled out the back of the drawer is the only thing i can think of. anyone know about loreal infalliable lip gloss? thanks.

EXACTLY. removing the junk from your diet removed the gluten. and removing the gluten allowed you to heal. before removing the gluten, your body was trying to build immunity to gluten, as though it were a germ. so you didn't notice the symptoms. but they were probably there. it may be why you carried extra weight- i gained 30lbs after my 2nd pregnancy...

you have a lot of the symptoms i had. i think you need to try it for longer than a week. and make sure you are REALLY not getting any gluten AT ALL. you may also need to give up dairy- others know more about this than i do. i had no issue with dairy. your body can go through a lot of changes when you are healing and you may just need more time to adjust.

LIE TO THEM!!! tell them you spoke to a doctor who confirmed your suspicions that she does have a serious gluten intolerance and it is imperative that you keep her off gluten 100% ALL THE TIME or she has the risk of developing serious auto-immune side effects or even lymphoma. i tell my friends that we self-diagnosed my 4 year old, but i was diagnosed...

whoo hoo! so glad to see the yellow cake review. i am making it for my first gluten free birthday tomorrow!!! can someone confirm that you can use dunkin hines frosting?

while my son is not abnormally small, he is smaller than his peers and WAY smaller than his brother. so i can't offer you answers, but i do commiserate. dylan is 4 and he is one inch shorter than his brother was at age 3. i measured him just about the time he went gluten free and i am already dying to measure him again even though it has been only a month...

we took my 4 year old so off gluten simply based on symptoms and his family history. i have celiac and my father in law does, too. we had excellent results. we have no intention of pursing a "diagnosis" because we already have one. it came from response to diet, not a doctor, but it was clear that he is better off without gluten. so it counts for us.

yes- i started getting a weird heartburn/reflux type pressure in my chest that kept me up for HOURS after a recent accidental exposure. i have never had that symptom! and my son, who is 4, is gluten free and has amazing behavior now. BUT when he gets glutened by accident, he turns into a little monster (And doesn't sleep!). at first, it only lasted one...
