    To the best of my understanding from reading over the last couple years (and from personal experience), non-allergic reactions to foods can occur up to several days post exposure. My wife tested positive for corn intolerance (along with 20+ other things). However what we have discovered is that the preparation of the corn makes a difference. Fresh/Frozen...

    @IH I'm so sorry, but I'm glad that you felt well enough to give it a shot. I'm just glad that you seem to be the kind of person who won't let this keep you from trying again! What about a vampire who can only drink blood from people with IgA antibodies ? So the werepanther could go through a horrible existential crisis trying to decide...

    Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Don't stress yourself out about it. If your spouse is willing to have a gluten-free house from the onset you'll do just fine. Out grandkids do just peachy without gluten. It isn't allowed in our home. We make sure we have gluten-free/Soy free cookies, snacks, crackers, cereal, etc. After I read Gary...

    As far a the probiotic we take PB8. My wife can't have corn, and neither of us can have pasteurized or processed dairy, and I don't have gluten or soy. So PB8 is the only live probiotic I've found that works for both of us.

    Hang in there DA! I know exactly what you mean about some of the emotional issues of being called (or considering yourself) a hypochondriac. It was such a relief to me when I got my test results and my Dr. made that notation of 'Celiac Disease' in my file based off my going from dying to not dying in a matter of weeks and the IgA results. But even so I still...

    That was absolutely hilarious!

    Hi Booghead, I sympathize. Giving up cheese was (initially) for me the worst part of giving up dairy. I think after my initial few months of trying to cope with everything when I discovered I really did have to drop dairy it was harder than the gluten. At least with the gluten I started feeling better immediately. With the dairy there wasn't the dramatic...

    The book Recognizing Celiac Disease and Associated Complications is an excellent resource. There are over 300 associated disorders, diseases, and conditions that have been definitely or tentatively linked to celiac disease.

    Hi Desi, Welcome to the boards and your new health! I would echo everything mushroom said (those 'shrooms can be pretty smart sometimes), as well as suggest you get the book Living Gluten-Free for Dummies. Seriously. It helped me a lot. I also wanted to suggest that you do go to whole/unprocessed foods for a while. Untreated celiac disease...

    Yes to your question about becoming super-sensitive, but I had the same first thoughts T.H. and mommida did. Kidney or gallbladder. If it has persisted for more than a couple days like this after seeing your Dr. I would strongly recommend you get back in there and insist on a more through diagnosis. Sharp pains penetrating all the way through your abdominal...

    Oh, and another thing we (we being my wife and I) do. It does take an afternoon but only every few months. When there is a sale on 'value packs' or 'family size' packs of beef, I buy two or three of them. I BBQ them medium rare, then when they cool cut them up into serving size portions. Freeze them individually. They make a great fast meal in a variety of...

    My brother works two jobs 7 days a week for a total well over 100 hours a week so he has a similar problem. My suggestion would be get a simple crock pot (check wal-mart/k-mart for good prices), a vacuum sealer, and a bunch of ziplock twist-lock freezer containers (that are microwaveable). Suggestions to give you a variety of foods in your freezer: ...

    I hope things work out OK and you survive. I took a slightly different route at work. We have a small department (16 people) in our own building, so last year I proposed a Christmas breakfast. I organized it and prepared/cooked most of the food. I prepped almost everything at home and brought it in and cooked it there. It worked out really well. We...

    I use a couple different blends. This one seems to work well for me for pancakes/waffles 1/3 c sorghum 1/3 c sweet white rice 1/3 c millet 1 Tbsp amaranth This one seems to work for me for breading, but I double bread things on the very rare occasions I eat anything breaded (I generally avoid all grains). 1/3 c Sorghum 1/3 c white rice 1 Tbsp...

    Well positive is generally positive. It's like being a 'little bit pregnant', or 'mostly dead' (though that did work out well for the man in black). My ttG IgA was 92 (<10 was 'normal) and my anti-gliadin IgA was 135 (<10 was 'normal').

    My wife and I were just talking about that prior to Thankgiving. I found a couple cans of Swanson's chicken broth, and we were debating whether or not to use them. It seemed to us like I had a reaction to it which is why we quit using them, but we couldn't recall. We got rid of them. Better safe than sorry. After going on the GAPS diet for a while, we now...

    @lovegrov: I live in my house. Though my wife thinks I live at work. @irishheart: for a Long time after I first got dx I kept thinking I was getting cc by ask sorts of spices and blends. Turns out I can only eat very limited amounts of anything containing paprika. But I was so paranoid it was starting to impede my ability to eat anything.

    My first reaction is that a breakfast/lunch of that many carbs is going to cause insulin swings which will affect not only your metabolism but your adrenals as well. That will throw off your cortisol and other hormones and create sleep issues. . Can you get some eggs into your breakfast? Scrambled Eggs with spinach and Feta Cheese or something? Try no carbs...

    I have had good success with Durkee, Spice Islands, and McCormick. I cook a great deal and for groups of 8-10 people on occasion, so I go through a lot of spices. I tend to stay aware from any pre-mixed seasonins from anyone but those three.

    Ok, there are a several things that jump out at me. 1) You crave protein. So if your body is telling you it needs protein, why can't you eat it in the form of meat if you aren't vegan by choice? 2) I'm a believer that juicing is horrible for you. If you research the effects on insulin production from the sugar content in juicing, it is kinda scary. Also,...

    It is certainly possible to have an intolerance to multiple things (gluten, dairy, soy, corn, etc). One or more of them may mask or hide the symptoms of the others. When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I felt much better for a couple weeks after removing gluten. Then I started to feel worse and some symptoms started to return. Eventually I figured out...

    Ours is a Breadman Pro which has a gluten-free cycle. Got it for $99 on sale at Amazon. Love it! It comes with a recipe for a generic white bread, that while not 'light' is actually a very good recipe. I replaced the soy flour with sorghum and it works really well. It's the recipe that I used to make bread for our dressing for dinner yesterday.
