I am originally from North Europe and I have HLA DQ2.5 & DQ8. They are both "celiac" genes. I've already got celiac . Also I know that this combination of genes puts me at a high risk for juvenile diabeties. Doesn't make me happy. Anyway, there IS a gene, associated with diabeties - DQ8: "...In Europe, DQ8 is associated with juvenile diabetes and...

I started gluten-free diet in January 2010. And only in March I realized that I am lactose-intolerant. Also I found other food intolerances, which surprised me a lot. But it is common to find other food intolerances when you go gluten-free

Also before I went gluten-free I used to have migraines with my PMS, and now it is 10 times better. BUT last month I was stressed at work and was drinking lots of coffee and I had my...

I was straggling with bad C for the last 2 years before I was diagnosed with celiac. I was having the same problem for the first 5 months after I went gluten-free. I didn

I was gluten-free for almost 2 months when my celiac blood test was done. It was my BIG mistake to let them do the test. I had doubts about it, but my doctor was sure that such a short period of time wouldn

It seems to me that you may have an emotional reaction to the latest changes in your life. To get sick, then to go through all that tests to be diagnosed, then to accept the fact that you will never eat what you used to eat

Try Russian websites. Russia is the closest country and the prices for gluten-free products should be better. Also check for big chain-stores in Kiev, they should have something. I am going to Moscow this August and already contacted 7-th Continent Superstore about gluten-free products. Got immediate reply with the list of available gluten-free products...

It was the only symptom that my physician couldn
