    Does anyone know of any place(s) in or near Stockbridge to eat gluten free? We're taking a little trip there on Saturday. Thanks for your help!

    I called the company this morning and was curtly told that I needed to contact my health care provider. I was informed that Standard Process sends the gluten free status of its products to the health care provider only. I mentioned that their statement on their website regarding the gluten free status of its products was quite ambiguous. The customer service...

    Wow. Thanks so much for taking the time to find this information. I think I was so surprised/stunned by my doctor's reaction to my phone call (I was incorrect - the Cataplex is gluten free) that I didn't go to the Standard Process website myself. I will call them tomorrow to see what they have to say about it to me while I'm on the phone with them. From...

    Just curious to know anyone's thoughts/experiences. My doctor prescribed Standard Process Cataplex F tablets (along with other things). I took them for 3 days only as I noticed I felt nauseous after each time I took them. Well, it's a week later and I have been having a very trying week filled with every celiac symptom I've ever experienced. Here's my...

    What's amazing to me is that before I stopped eating gluten, I thought I was fine. Sure, I had the fatigue, the rash and a host of other symptoms - but it was my normal. Now I'm off gluten and everything becomes more noticeable. Everything has new meaning. Each ache, pain, feeling of nausea, headache, etc. You learn to pay so much more attention to everything...

    It's six months gluten free and since we have our own business, I've been able to work from home. However, summer is our busy season and no more of that. But three days in the shop have wiped me out. Totally exhausted. Extremely. Just curious to know if this has happened to others. I've been feeling better, but to feel this tired has me very surprised....

    I agree! Here's an interesting article by a doctor regarding how he thinks this all happened: Open Original Shared Link

    No. It's a long story (of course) but I am very fortunate in that my primary care recognized my latest DH outbreak for what it was (last December) and began putting the whole story together. She is a very smart, brilliant woman who really takes her time and offers fantastic care to her patients. She strongly advised me to go gluten free immediately. As...

    My doctor has suggested peppermint tea. 2 cups per day (3 Altoids equal 1 cup of tea ). I found for me it really helps.

    Thank you everyone for all your comments! It has really helped me to hear it explained by other people in other ways AND to know that there are so many more of us out there. I think I've been feeling slightly alone. I definitely feel better equipped to discuss my diet and the reasons for it with others. I see it also helps to have a sense of humor

    Good Morning Everyone, My husband and I are going to be having dinner with relatively new friends. I have been aware of my celiac status for just under six months and it has taken me this long to really come to terms/accept/be okay with my diagnosis (it's an ongoing process). For instance, I think some people are put off by the word "disease" in "celiac...

    Thank you for taking the time to answer. There is so much to learn and constantly be aware of. I'm assuming that even after our immune systems settle down, ingesting gluten would lead to some kind of an autoimmune chain reaction? Or after a certain amount of healing has occurred, perhaps an accidental glutening wouldn't be so hazardous? I suppose though...

    Good Morning Everyone, I have been gluten free for just over 6 months and recently had an appointment with my doctor who explained that any amount of inadvertent gluten can cause a "setback" for me. He offered a lot of information during this visit and at the time I didn't ask him to clarify what he meant by this particular statement. I had been telling...

    Hello, I was wondering if I could ask your help in determining what the results of my genetic blood test mean. The lab that did the work is Prometheus. It reads as follows: Alleles Detected: Homozygous DQB1*02 (DQA1*05-DQB1*0201 and DQA1*0201-DQB1*0202) This test, as well as two others for IBS, were ordered by my GI doctor. Both IBS test results...
