The bread is wonderful. No toasting needed. I just defrosted, took it out of the package, and put butter on it. It was awesome! The muffins are great, too. I have tried blueberry and lemon struesel. Both are great. I can't wait til I get some more bread, I just ran out. Brooklyn

Hello! My LFT's were also elevated at diagnosis, but mine were in the 200's range. Slight elevations in LFT's like the numbers you have are related to Celiac Disease. Mine were way above that though. If they get to that range, it is no longer being caused by celiac disease and further testing is warranted. You are at higher risk of getting Autoimmune Hepatitis...

I just got some oats that I need to try. Does anyone have a good gluten-free recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies that I could try them with? I think they are Cream Hill Estates. They are certified gluten-free. Grown in specific fields and such. Anyways, Like I said on a hunt for a good recipe. I have a pitch-in lunch for my newly started celiac disease support...

Hi, I have started a Celiac support group in my area. It will include anybody willing to drive to Brazil, Indiana for meetings. We will be having them monthly at least. The first meeting will be this Sunday at St. Vincent Clay Hospital, in Brazil. It will be in the Medical office building on the hospital campus. The hospital in located on the north side of...

Hello. When I went to the CSA conference this year, Dr. Robert Greene, the foremost thinker and researcher on celiac disease from Columbia University, said that we could quote him on this. Any alcohol that has been through the distillery process except beers and ales is gluten free! So drink what you want. That is one thing celiac disease hasn't taken from...

Fiddle Faddle- Hello. If you notice in my first post, I state that he is not very intune. He is an older GI and he is foriegn. He won't be the doctor I follow up with after I get the biopsy results. My boyfriend and I saw a different GI for my son. He was a younger doctor, knowlegable in celiac disease. He is having us do an elimination diet with my son....

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to update you on how my little trooper did yesterday. She was soo worried all the way up there. She didn't want to have to get any shots or IVs. I told her that she might not have to. We got there and the nurses and staff were all wonderful. They got her vitals and history kept her laughing the whole time. Then, the nurse gave...

Great advice with the food and drink on the way home. It didn't even cross my mind. I will do that now though. Thanks!

Hello Everyone! Well, after two months of having bloodwork showing positive IgG antibodies, my daughter is getting a scope tomorrow to do biopsy to check for damage. She has both DQ2 and 8 with the possible silent Celiac mutation. The GI we saw for her was not very intune with Celiac. He suggested that we are doing the scope to to rule out Celiac because...

You might need some more fiber. Try a supplement like Benefiber or Metamucil. You can get the store brands which are cheaper but work the exact same way. Also, try the above suggestion. Maybe have your GI or PCP check your vitamin levels also. You might still be deficient. Hope to help, Brooklyn

About the AIH, You can have you PCP check your liver enzymes(LFT's) and your ANA level. These are the tests that are used to diagnose AIH. If your liver enzymes are normal, then it's not AIH. I am on two different meds to control my AIH and to try to get me into remission(AIH is a chronic condition, there is no cure, but lots of people do fine after treatment...

Hello. About the wines, you have to watch out on those. Alot of them have gluten in them. I went to the Celiac Sprue Association's Annual Conference and saw Dr. Robert Greene speak. He is one of the foremost doctors in researching celiac disease. From his mouth, All Alcohol is ok because it is distilled so the gluten is lost in the distilling process. That...

Hello girls! I am also 24 and I was diagnosed in January of this year. First off, some food suggestions. Kinnikinnick breads, rolls, and muffins are great and can be ordered online. After you order, they bake to your request and mail same day. Always put it straight into the freezer. The Betty Crocker mixes are great. Trix cereal is gluten free. Honey nut...

I was having the same kind of problem after going gluten free. I was still super tired all the time, moody, bad acne, just all around not feeling good after having my son last year. I was wondering if you have had your liver enzymes checked. I found out that on top of my celiac disease, I have Autoimmune Hepatitis. If you look it up, most of your symptoms...

Hello. I myself am now on long term Prednisone treatment for Autoimmune Hepatitis. I started at 50mg a day, and I have since tapered down to 20mg. The treatment has worked great for me, and my liver enzymes have gone down a lot. I still have celiac symptoms after being gluten free for 6 months and the Prednisone, but my recent EGD with biopsy shows that I...
