    Depravation isn't cool. It might help to try new recipes or purchase some gluten-free items that help you feel like you're part of the group . . . and have them ready for the next time you might want to cave in and eat what the family is eating. What are your biggest weaknesses and what can you purchase / make that will give you similar satisfaction...

    Agreed! For me, I assume I may have an undetected auto-immune disorder of one sort or another and eat very carefully. I worry about those who have been diagnosed with non-celiac gluten-intolerance because they might have genes that cause other parts of their body to break down OR they may have been misdiagnosed. Sadly, some with low-sensitivity gluten...

    These are all such great tips . . . and I've been inspired to exercise more. Right now, I'm going to concentrate less on animal protein and more on fruits, vegetables, legumes as the main part of my diet, with limited animal meats. That way, I can pack as much nutrition and foods-that-fill-me-up into each meal as possible. I'll also stay with one...

    From what I understand, it all depends on the individual. Many non-Celiac Gluten Intolorance individuals are extremely sensitive -- many are even more sensitive than those who have Celiac. This is one reason why some people with Celiac go undiagnosed for years, or forever . . . not all of them have visible symptoms. This is frightening because those...

    Good for you, and best wishes for a great time on your trip. Enjoy your new eating lifestyle -- you'll feel so much better. Give it time. Let us know the results!

    Ditto to the post above. You are going to be fine! Hang in there. It has become a horrible cliche, but one I believe in with all my heart: Everything happens for a reason. The lessons you learn from all this will eventually go on to help others. Bottom line: It's okay . . . and so are you. Hugs, Lyn

    Yes, I know how it feels, and I am happy to say that there is another side to it. It's called feeling good again. Nothing tastes as good as pain-free feels. Go with the gluten-free plan -- you can do it!

    Yours is an excellent question. I hope many will learn from it. Celiac aside, stats have indicated that one in seven people may have gluten-intolorance. Celiac is but one small part being intolorant to gluten. Take it from one who is non-Celiac gluten-intolorant and who has suffered beyond belief and knows from experience: gluten-intolorance symptoms...

    Good post - I'll be interested to hear how the weight loss goes after pregnancy. It sounds as though you're very dedicated and up on things -- I bet it will go very well for you.

    Interestsing! Thank you for the replies.

    "Thank you so much for understanding my need to bring my own food! I so wish I could have had your cooking, I am sure it was outstanding, but knowing that I was free to do what I needed to do allowed me to have a wonderful time with everyone here tonight. I really appreciate the understanding you gave to this."

    Hi, Everyone, For those of you who have been following my threads (or for those I have yet to meet), I have been diagnosed highly gluten-sensitive, non-Celiac. Gene tests (DQ 2 and 8), and biopsy negative. Something haunts me, though. For nearly 10 years, I had reoccuring sores in my mouth -- slits that would appear out of nowhere and hurt like heck...

    Thank you so much, Lisa!

    You should call your doctor and report that you have not been eating gluten. Chances are he/she will ask you to eat it for around 8 weeks before being tested. I know this probably feels like a setback, but it is not. Just the opposite: GOOD THING YOU ASKED! You want to make sure that you are being tested as responsibly as possible.

    See this resent thread as well -- it talks about the same thing, and it will help you feel better: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=64212

    CONGRATULATIONS! That is wonderful! I'm waiting on my follow-up results, so I can really understand how important this is for you. Way to go! Isn't it wonderful to be on the other side of things? Hugs, Lyn

    Hi, Michelle! It is different for everyone. You might want to take at a similar thread that was recently started here: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=64098 Hope this helps! Lyn

    Look at all the sources of possible gluten. For example, does the soap in the school washroom have gluten-free soap, and if not, might he wash his hands and later put his hands in his mouth?

    Take a look at the Carbohydrate Specific Diet at Open Original Shared Link The information there may help you (it helped me).

    I agree! My biopsy went so very smoothly, as did the biopsy of others I've talked to. Really, really . . . it is indeed a "piece of cake" . . . let's make that a gluten-free piece of cake. It is a slice of heaven compared to a colonoscopy. You'll be fine. Relax and know that all will be well. I promise you, the anticipation is the hardest...

    It could be the milk, or it could also be that the powder is manufactured in a facility that also processes gluten or wheat . . . or it could be something added to the whey protein shake that is not gluten free. Do you have a list of ingredients? If yes, you might want to post it here for everyone to take a look.

    I found this link that has a recipe for a Better Batter bagel. Open Original Shared Link I have heard wonderful things about Better Batter -- I purchased five pounds but have yet to use it. The people in my GIG group LOVE it and say it replaces regular flour extremely well. Hope this helps!

    Elizabeth, Thank you so much for caring about this issue!
