Ravenwood, Thanks for your input...that's great information to have. I'm going to ask my doctor to refer me to a nutritionist...because, although I'm eating things without gluten, I don't know if I'm balancing my diet correctly or not. I did get my biopsy result back today, and it came back negative. However, I noticed I've been very emotional in...

Nora, Thanks for your input. I had seen the Dr. Gluten website, but I will definitely read more today. And thanks for pointing me to pubmed.com. Here in the US, I don't think we get benefits for being sick...other than (as I understand it), a higher risk for being uninsured because of a pre-existing condition once diagnosed with celiac.

Does anyone know if these two products look to be unsafe? I've tried to research both (especially "coconut oil" and "banana flavor" in the first), and can't quite figure out if they're safe or not.

We'll see, though. ...

Hi everyone, I've read many personal accounts of celiac on here, and I think this website is GREAT! I wanted to see, though, if someone has had an experience similar to mine. I will be getting endoscoped and my small intestine biopsied this week for a definitive answer regarding celiac, but I still wanted to put this out there... Beginning earlier...
