ARCHIVED Why Don'T People Understand?

Yes, I think this will be especially true for the siblings. It's one thing to follow the rules ("if the baby can't eat it, none of us will") at home, but it's a different story at parties when all the other kids are eating birthday cake and at school pizza parties. Kids don't like to be left out, and I think it would seem especially unfair to them when their... -

I've been eating gluten all along (I never stopped), but it seems to be getting worse, so I was thinking of eliminating it now, even without a diagnosis. I guess the better question is: my endoscopy is in 10 days, so would cutting gluten out of my diet now allow the tissue to heal too much in that period of time? I'm starting to think it may be better to... -

For the past several months, I've noticed that whenever I eat grain products, I get really bloated, sometimes with an indigestion feeling. My digestion almost resembles the process of a snake...I get really bloated in my upper abdomen right after eating for like an hour or so, then the bloating moves down to my lower abdomen and stays for sometimes up to...
