Feeling scared and awful... We have been gluten free for 18 months (our whole family-- dh, me, and our three kids). Never had a major glutening. Last year, my son ate a wheat cookie that someone gave him, and he was very ill for three weeks. Plus, he has dermatitis herpetiformus And it was so awful! Last time, there was a few days lag before the sickness...

My children and I have celiac disease, and play-doh is such a problem! I love all the cute sets, and so I buy them, and remove the unopened play-doh. It gives my kids rashes, and my 2 yo can get it in her mouth, so I make our play-doh out of rice flour and color it with natural colors. You are so smart to have figured that! You are a detective, for...

Hey there! I am interested in any articles or threads or so that you could suggest about why we are so much more sensitive after being gluten free for several months. I have read many books, the most recent of which is "Wheat Belly" where the author suggests possibly most inflammation has healed and then re-exposure triggers a stronger response. I guess...

Wow! Thanks for the great replies. Y'all are so knowledgeable. I could have candida issues. Our family is sugar free and mostly grain free (occasional rice or corn). Also I keep things pretty low carb with the exception of beans, which are quite high in molybdenum! So that's great. May I ask if you have a book you recommend that discusses nutritional...

So, one of my biggest symptoms has always been severe calf/shin cramps. I try to abstain from drinking 100% but when I do have half to full glass of vino, I get the cramps again. Experiences? Anyone able to drink vino occasionally? I would like to pose as somewhat normal every once in a while! LOL!

Oh, well, I guess I was paraphrasing. It has been over 10 years, after all. I just remember that he warned me about Celiac based on my genotype, and that I should adopt a gluten-free diet. I can't remember whether he said "you have a diagnosis of celiac." It was and still is incredibly overwhelming. I actually don't have insurance for a battery of tests...

Hey everyone, You will probably think I am crazy when you read this. About 10 or so years ago, Dr. Fine from Enterolab was doing screenings at a mall in Dallas. So I did one to get a free pen or something. Anyway, they contacted me and said I had some genetic markers for gluten sensitivity, which I had never heard of. And I had never really had any health...

Hi, I am also struggling with changing everything around. Struggling even with accepting the diagnosis. I am nursing my 2 yo, and I am a LLL Leader. I am actually so glad to be nursing him -- that seems to be the only *right* thing going on in his little gut. Since going gluten-free (the whole family), my little boy finally has normal stools. He had a...
