    I would love all the prayer I can get. I am religious, but being in such an up hill battle still leaves me blind to why I'm going through this. It's been difficult to be self assured in my faith when feeling like every step forward brings you two or three steps back. Iappreciate you opinion, and I also believe there is something else wrong. Trying to...

    ARCHIVED Help!

    I hate to put a damper on things, but your symptoms may take a lot longer to go away. I've been doing it for two and a half years and I have never improved on the diet. Although to give you a boost, i'm the only one that I've heard not been helped on the diet. Give it time, and try to be patient. Did you get rid of all your old pots and pans? even...

    Yes I did go gluten free in those two years of being on the diet. Compeltely gluten free! I was anal about it. I know all about the crumbs, surfaces of foods. My family and I have worked in many food industry places, I've had lots of experience. When I moved into my house, no gluten was allowed in, and since then I've been very very careful. So I'm sure...

    I'm a 22 year old woman in her 5 year of university. Here is my problem: I was diagnosed at 20 with celiac's disease. I had been sick with diarrhea and cramps, bloating, constant running to the bathroom, no relief with evacuation and sever gas for over 2 years at that point. A GI specialist sent me to get the blood test where i came out half "positive...

    Ah yes...trying to control IBS. I'm sorry to say that no doctors have been able to even romotely help. I was once put on a narcautic to calm my intestines down..and all it did was take me out of my mind, and i was still sick. I just have to tell you that the side effects of those drugs can sometimes be worse than their help, but if it is something that...

    I live in Edmonton Alberta, but I have to tell you to find a G.I. doctor that might be involved with the celiac association of canada. I personally have not found a good doctor around here, I've seen two and they were really harsh, mean, and uncaring. But none the less, I'm sure that if you wrote the celiace association of canada a suggestion for a doctor...

    Anxiety might be the cause, but it doesn't hurt to check out celiac. I got celiac disease from my mothers half brother...so even though he's distant it is totally possible. Since it is your sister...the blood test is a good idea. I turned out half positive and half negative to the test...so they weren't initially sure if I had celiac, but with the biopsy...

    Hi there, Well with you being positive with the blood test is a really good sign I would say about celiac disease. I myself was a half positive and half negative for the blood test and when I did get the biopsy done..It did turn out that I am celiac. Although I still have a lot of problems with digestion and I mainly am running to the bathroom every second...

    Thank you for he relplies. I'll go out right away and check for those brands in Canada. Maybe I will get lucky and I'll have a fantastic supper. I was talking about maltodextrin and I believe that it is gluten-free here in canada too. Thanks again! Sherri

    I have the IBS diagnosis as well, but i was diagnosed early on with celiac too. I guess I got a little lucky, but I have not found any relief from my symptoms even being on the diet for almost two years. There is the possibility that yes your husband does in fact have IBS and celiac. Both which are great to know. The one thing with IBS is it's sort...

    I was just wondering if there is brand that has gluten free beef soup base. Really I need to make a beef dip for prime rib, and I was wondering a brand that didn't use maltodextrose. Oh, this brings me to another question...maltedextrose and maltodextrose...is there any difference? And are they gluten free. I was told once that maltedextrose was, but...

    I live in Edmonton. Unfortunately I haven't found many restaurants that actually have gluten free food other than a salad. I have been to Chianti's, and they do have a spegetti that is very nice, but when there is only litterally one thing to eat there next to a salad, it's still a little depressing. I find that most restaurants here in Edmonton are very...

    just a side note... The autoclave I'm sure would kill all, and clean all....If only purchasing one would allow me actually eat out in a place other than my house.

    Thank you so much for your opinions. I did not expect such fast answers. I pretty much was the understanding that it was hopeless to really be gluten free anywhere in a restaurants kitchen...but I just thought I might ask. just a little while ago my in-laws said they found a place where they cater to gluten-free cooking. Essentially it was just a...

    I work in a kitchen and cook as my part time profession with university. I have been searching for some time looking for what will clean something that has been contaminated with gluten. Specifically I am talking about the grill that I use at work, If I steam it...does the gluten still stay there? Is soap necessary to uncontaminate? Once something has...
