    I love your attitude and so young! My first thoughts when dx was, thank god it's not cancer, food I can do!!

    I have not been tested for Celiac Disease, for many reasons. I am the only one currently working, and I do not have insurance. I had already been tested for lots of other "more immediate" things (thindgs that could hospitalize me). I wa spending so much money on myself, I couldn't bare it anymore. My doctor suggested it may be Celiac Disease, and told me...

    I have completely taken gluten, dairy, eggs and soy out of my diet after a "You may have Celiac Disease" diagnosis. Let me tell you, I feel MUCH better since then. Most of my problems have all but completely vanished. The problem is that my husband doesn't have gluten problems, and my kids are not diagnosed with having them either. My husband LOVES premade...

    I have been gluten free for a little while now, but I still am getting a rash on my hands and knees. Does the DH rash ever go all the way away? Or is it that I may not be totally Gluten Free yet?

    I am going to try it tonight!

    Yup, I am intollerant to all the good comfort food stuff (you know, all the things that Thanksgiving is about): Gluten, Dairy, eggs and soy. It was sad for me at first. I am Itallian, I love pasta and cheese. Darn.

    WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA!!! Thanks!

    My family has been making this recipe for years. I am trying to adapt it to my new needs before Thanksgiving this year. First of all... the pumpkin. Choose small pumpkins which are raised specifically for eating, they have a better flavor. You can also use any kind of winter squash, and a blend of 2 or 3 different ones is very tasty! Wash the raw fruit...

    Ah, good idea! I am fairly new to this site, and I am still finding all the goodies in the nooks and crannies. I must say, that out of all the celiac sites, this one is my favorite. There is SO much information on it!

    I have an AMAZING pumpkin pie family recipe which calls for Evaporated Milk. Does anyone know a good substitute for this? One of my major food intollerances is dairy, and being that this is my first gluten-free Thanksgiving, I need to do some experimenting now before I have guests around my table.

    This is the pumpkin pie/custard recipe that my family has used for years (don

    I still LOVE to cook, and share my talent for cooking with others. You shouldn't look at it as losing something you love, but as a new challenge. Through trial and error I have discovered some GREAT recipes for gluten free pizza, breads, brownies etc. I discovered that I relied heavily on cheese and grains before (I am itallian) to make tasty recipes. Now...

    I just found out I am highly intollerant to gluten, dairy and eggs, and also somewhat intollerant to soy. This is the first year that I am supposed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner with many guests who haven't got problems with gluten. Three of these guests are the old-fashioned major carb eaters--they eat TONS of bread, and other unhealthy tasty comfort...

    So, I found another celiac page which talks about the celiac's diet in three stages, the first stage, where you are healing, the second, when you start introducing foods back in to your diet and the third where you are sustaining. Does this mean you CAN heal some of your food intollerances, if you give yourself time?
  16. KahleFamily
    I have been gluten-free for about three and a half weeks now, and while I do feel much better, I seem to have other intollerances as well. I have had an egg intollerance for longer than I have known about the gluten intollerance, I am now discovering that dairy gives me SEVERE reactions, like nasea and diarrhea, and soy seems to bother me as well. Eggs give...

    I have taken gluten out of my diet for the last two and a half weeks, but I think there may be other factors possibly causing my troubles. Are dairy, egg and soy intollerances also common in celiacs? These things seem to cause me problems as well.
  18. KahleFamily
    I have had similar issues, even a change in pygmentation in the skin on my lower back. This happened to me when I was pregnant with my son. I hope there is hope to figuring this out, because my doctor is trying to put me through a bunch of hoops like this as well. I have a strong distaste for conventional medicine (if you have ever seen SLC Punk, I'm like...

    Alright, here is a complete list o my symptoms: I have been gluten free for the last two and a half weeks, and I am still getting symptoms; although they are a little less painful. I do not think it is early enough to really tell if the diet is working, just because for the last year that I have had stomach problems I have had times which I felt so good...
  20. KahleFamily
    Wow, I have problems with that too! That's why I went to the doctor in the first place wondering if I had gall bladder issues. A friend of mine had her gall bladder removed and that was one of her tell-tale symptoms (supposedly). I went in for that and really bad stomach problems, we tested and NOPE. wasn't gall bladder issues.
  21. KahleFamily
    They prescribed a cream, I do not recall what it was, and they gave me an oral prescription as well. It keeps coming back in the last year (along with all the other symptoms I have been having) especially on my left knee and my arms. I hadn't really known that this was a gluten intollerance issue until the last few weeks. I will have to keep an eye on it...

    I do not have any insurance, and I am not in a possition currently to take dozens of tests. I have been tested for h pylori, gall bladder desease, thyroid problems, and ulcers. I have been told about what is really involved in a celiac disease test, and it sounds expensive (and painful). Concidering that I feel much better without gluten, I believe that...

    Acctually, now that I think about it, it started three years before my pregnancy with my daughter. When I went into labor with my Son I broke out in to a rash which started on my knees and butt, but then it moved all over my legs, stomach and arms. The doctors decided it was an allergic reaction (I must say, I had an amazing delivery doctor, but the rest...
  24. KahleFamily
    Holy cow! Thank you everyone for all the feedback! I have been increadibly stressed the last few years, and when I think about it, a lot of what has been happening to me started when I was pregnant with my daughter three years back. Thanks for the insight, everyone. This has been very helpful.
  25. KahleFamily
    My doctor has told me I may have celiac disease (amoung a lot of other things). I occassionally have allergic reactions, but I don't know what to, Constant diarhea and constipation, constant headaches (I have a dull one now which becomes severe every evening lasting weeks), hair loss, abdominal pain, etc. I just tell everyone that I occassionally feel like...
