    I didn't speak of my gastro issues thoroughly with any doctor until about 2 years in. When I brought it up during a routine general visit to renew a prescription for other issues, with one of his associates, the Celiac blood panel tests were ordered and results were positive for the antibodies. I set up an appointment 2 months later to talk about determining...

    it's been 3 1/2 months since being diagnosed, and living as gluten free as possible while working in a bakery. I have cheated twice in the past month, each time with a bite of cake (with icing). I haven't felt anything major but there is a little gurgle in my stomach, NOTHING compared to what I WAS dealing with. I just recently determined I can add some...

    Sue, I really appreciate your advice. Your reply sounds more like the answer I was looking for. Having C I recognize that many foods may cause me issues that are not "common allergies". I am so new to this that the names of the tests are helpful so that when I speak to my doctor I can have specific ideas of what I would like to try rather than expecting...

    Recently diagnosed by blood work. Dad has both genes is diagnosed with Celiac and he was recently diagnosed with casein and soy allergies as well. I am trying to figure out the best, most simple diet that is as nutritionally sound as possible to rule out all other intolerance's. I have been living as Gluten free as possible but because I still work...

    Until I had symptoms I didn't get it COMPLETELY either but I learned about it because my job is in a bakery. I "UNDERSTOOD" that people couldn't eat gluten and that if it wasn't prepared in a gluten free environment it wasn't TRULY gluten free. A friend of mine has a mother who has been diagnosed W/celiac disease for over 20 years and she still has a hard...

    I feel ya, in that I feel better when I am not around all the flour. I have to say I must have been pretty sick because even though I still work in a gluten filled environment the diet changes have begun to have a significant positive effect on my overall well being. I recover from too little sleep much faster than before, my overall mood is better, I feel...

    Put the word out to shift positions and the response seems to be positive. My direct supervisors are aware of the medical issues surrounding my decision for advancement. They are allowing me to decide whether to bring it up regarding the shift. Currently there are not a lot of positions available to step into but that should be changing soon, so think good...

    A lil history, lab results say yup gluten issues. Dad has both genes and gluten, dairy, and now soy allergies. I am aware, because of Pops situation, of how avoiding the issue can result in more issues. I am by no means in the nutritional deficiency stages of the disease. My symptoms are less EXTREME, but they are certainly still present. I am aware that...

    Ted, Thanks for your input you are the first person who has some first hand knowledge about which I speak. I don't OWN my own bakery, but I run one for a GREAT company that I am grateful to work for. I have indeed, since being diagnosed, found myself in situations where I have had flour inadvertently fly in my face. In the healing stage I am being fairly...

    I have been diagnosed by my blood work, "D" (we'll say digestive issues if you don't get the D)for over a year and a half,general intolerance to many foods, and my Pops finally getting tested with positive results for both genes related to the disease. Pops is a vegetarian who now is not only allergic to dairy but to soy as well. When I thought it through...

    Overall I don't have to WORK in direct contact with the flour. I will no LONGER handle bags of flour and I will most likely purchase and use a mask when I have to go into bakers area for any reason. I constantly wash my hands so that is a great habit already in place. Currently most of my time is spent in the front end of the department, although it...

    So...I have worked in the bakery industry for my ENTIRE ADULT life. For many years I dealt with frozen doughs, now I work in a scratch bakery environment. I do not mix doughs but occasionally I handle bags of flour and may breathe in flour. My symptoms are chronic diarrhea for about a year now, lactose intolerance and I think that is all...but whose to say...

    Just diagnosed and I have to say I can relate to your statements about eating 2-3 portions. I had friends who I mentioned the constant D to and they asked if I was losing weight. When I finally went to the doc for the blood tests he made a similar type statement with regards to having constant D. Before I read your post I was talking with my dad, who has...

    I just got test results that suggest I am prone to or HAVE celiac disorder/disease. My symptoms are pretty basic in that I burp a lot (may not be a symptom) and I have had diarrhea for at least the past 8 months. My father thinks he may be gluten intolerant, but has been diagnosed with a much more severe gastrointestinal problem and because he finds little...
