    Well color me confused... except I read some of the recent posts by others who tested negative for antibodies. I found the slide show on celiac vs. non celiac gluten intolerance, and it made sense. It looks like I have intolerance. That would seem right because I can eat a few croutons on a salad, no problem. But a sandwich or a pasta dinner + garlic...

    On one hand, if someone was really underweight due to malabsorption pre-dx, then weight gain after gluten-free diet would make sense. But it seems you'd be less starving and tend to eat less once you're free of gluten and begin absorbing nutrients...? Does it feel like you're starving for some time after going gluten-free, hence overeating? (I've been...

    Are you assessing the damage that's been done or what? I realize this may be in a book, I have reserved the Green book on Celiac but it hasn't come in yet. Thanks in advance.

    One thing that helps me, it's not foolproof but it has cut short my eating many an evening, is brushing my teeth. I can't stand to go to bed w/o brushing so if I do it early and feel my teeth all smooth I don't want to get them dirty.

    Daphniela, thank you SO MUCH for compiling this list. Trader Joe's is a great place for finding foods that can't be found elsewhere, and I go there often, but if you'd asked me specifically what gluten-free foods they carry, I would have been hard pressed to say. The one to add is TJ's gluten-free frozen waffles. They're great, and come out crispy if you...

    Rachel, God bless you. This is really hard, it's a huge change. Ask for help from your Maker if you believe in doing that. Ask for help from people in your life, and from friends you've yet to meet. Is there a support group you can go to? It's great to be able to come here, but sometimes we need an in-person smile and hug, and to share a laugh with...

    Hi all. Love this forum on cooking as it goes to the heart of how this disease is addressed. I've been using search terms to get a grip on okay spices. There are a few I can't find clear yes or no's on: - Old Bay seasoning - Emeril's Essence (pre-mixed in the jar) - Lawry's seasoning packets, e.g. tacos, sloppy joes, etc. What's the verdict...

    That's great to hear Gemini. Thank you for sharing your story and for the book rec, I'll definitely get that and try the diet.

    Hello, I'm a new visitor to this site in the past couple of days as I suspect I may have celiac disease. I plan to get tested but in the meantime am educating myself on a gluten-free diet. A question for you... If one goes on the GFD, does healing occur? If so how long does it take, or does it vary depending on the damage. Specifically I have...
