    I don't know if you have a Giant in your area or not - I just went shopping with my mom and all of their Giant Quality turkeys were self-basting, etc, but marked Gluten Free and MSG Free. And those were the type you get for free afte 300 shopping points

    Hi Rosenberg - I'm sad to see no one has responded to you yet. A lot of people come here asking the same question - "how long?? " But the response is standard: everyone is different. It depends on your personal health, how long you've had digestive problems, your age, what other health problems you have or may have, etc. From what I've read here, it...

    Somebody else posted this study too! I don't understand why it's getting so much press when it's looks so inconclusive to me - all that things that you pointed out Jestgar along with the fact that it was only 10 people!

    I've heard as common knowledge that you shouldn't eat dairy after having had diarrhea because you will naturally be lactose intolerant. Hence, it makes sense that after a glutening (at the very least until the glutened symptoms go away I would think) you should avoid dairy.

    Just to put in my two cents... I have heard the theory in the alt medicine community that some forms of gluten intolerance are in fact caused by candida overgrowth (although it can obviously be vice-versa as well). This might have been what your friend was referring to without knowing it - candida is often addressed with accupuncture and I guess there have...

    Welcome! And yes, stress definitely makes any problems I might be having worse - whether physical stress or psychological stress (I fasted during my first month of going off gluten - bad idea). Also, you make it sound as though you have been eating a diet with gluten and then returned to the gluten-free diet. If that's the case, you might be experiencing...

    I'm 25 and I justed diagnosed myself with Gluten Intolerance in August. Since then I've slowly but surely been getting better - but it's one of those you-don't-realize-it-till-you-look-back kind of things. So I've still got some symptoms and can't necessarily tell if I eat a tiny amount of gluten (like crumbs) or if it's something else. Or at least I suspect...

    I'm still dealing with this myself. Despite the slew of digestive malfunction on my grandmother's side, somehow this condition (although in my case after only a year of noticable suffering) has been labeled by them as "annoying." I tend to take it personally when my family views it as such and very often people I barely know will go way out of their way...

    Honestly, I'm surprised this even made news. 10 people is a TINY amount of subjects to be considered seriously. Further, we're given no information as to the nature of their diet - who's to say it was healthy? And were they eating white grains before or whole grains? And white grains after or whole grains? And those are just the questions that jump...

    Wow. Trying a diet to see if it works is one thing, but seriously?? Bored immune systems? Given what we also know about how negatively antibiotics affect the immune system, I doubt they're bored. And given that celiac disease has been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years prior to antibiotics and also in conjunction with these parasites, I...

    Just thought I'd say hello for the first time - I've been reading this site fairly religiously for about 2 months now since I finally figured out that I'm gluten-intolerant. And before I go any further I especially want to thank everyone who maintains/runs/and posts on this site. It was this amazing searchable forum which pretty much single-handedly allowed...

    State College here A non-student, but I'm 25 so I guess I'm still in that age range.
