    I decided to try the California Pizza Kitchen and had a very pleasant experience there. They use procedures approved by the GIG group to prepare the gluten free pizzas. They have 4 pizzas made using those procedures and don't even allow wheat flour in their kitchen, so no airborne wheat. Overall, it was great. It's good to see a restaurant that is taking...

    I was already vegetarian when I found out that I couldn't tolerate gluten. (had a TIA and was hospitalized just 10 days into a gluten trial, so no celiac testing for me!) I also don't tolerate dairy well either. In addition, I avoid refined sugar as much as possible, due to a weak immune system. I view gluten intolerance as a blessing, in a way, because...

    Yeah, people don't really get the fact that I don't care if they eat gluten in front of me. I don't care to be "normal," I'll eat the food that gives me the best chance of living to see my kids grow up. LOL!

    Yesterday, I went to a potluck. I set aside my gluten free food before the meal and set it on the table where I was going to sit. My friend explained to someone standing there that I suffered from gluten intolerance. I started to explain to the lady what gluten was. She said, "Oh I know all about it! I used to have celiac disease! I had it for about 5-6 years...

    Thanks for the feedback! I will read through that list. Having a TIA at age 27 was pretty terrifying! Definitely not anything that I want a repeat of. My doctor said though that that happened because I had a lot of gluten (i.e. 10 days worth.) My thoughts though is that I don't know what level of gluten could cause a TIA in the future, so not worth...

    I shared my story in another thread, I don't have an actual celiac diagnosis because my symptoms resolved when I went gluten-free and then I resumed eating gluten and had a TIA (ministroke) resulting from chronic and persistent headaches while on the gluten trial. My TIA occurred after a mere 10 days on the gluten trial. My husband told me that I wasn...

    Thanks for the help! Can a regular dermatologist do this test? How much does it cost without insurance typically?

    Why would they biopsy beside the rash and not on it?

    Thanks for the encouragement and comments, everyone! One thing that I do have on my side is that my doctor agrees that I'm intolerant to gluten, so at least I can tell me that my doctor recommends that I stay away from it! LOL!

    Do you have to be eating gluten to get a DH biopsy?
  11. BlessedMommy
    I do get a minor rash when exposed to low levels of gluten.

    Hi, I've been registered to this forum for awhile but haven't really posted. I wanted to share my story and find out if there were other people in the same boat. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I got a really horrific skin rash. It left me in pain and itching almost continuously. Nobody could tell me where it came from. I went to the dermatologist...
