    Thank you for all the info. I've been wearing my Google search button out these last few days. I finally put in a call to 2 of my doctors (naturopath and family doc) to see what they think. My naturopath is going to think I'm NUTS and tell me not to do this... family doc probably won't have a clue. It seems hard to believe that the body wouldn't be making...

    On second thought... this might not be worth it.

    I'm going to eat gluten for the next week and see what happens. I find it hard to believe that I wouldn't have any antibodies... I suppose it more depends on how many antibodies I will have by the time my blood is drawn. I won't know until I try. I ate a biscuit. It was hard to take that first bite. My heart was beating fast. But then I thought,...

    I hear ya... but I'm in no position to turn down the potential to make $1000 a week for a few days suffering. I'm a teacher who is already working a summer job and looking for more work... and I'm getting married this summer. I need to at least try.

    Thank you... I'm a bit scared. I've never intentionally eaten gluten since going gluten-free. But, if they accept my blood test results, it'll be well worth it!

    Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I am in a financial bind and found that there are medical companies seeking plasma from people with auto-immune disorders (celiac being one of them) and offer a substantial amount of money for each donation. However, they need current blood tests with antibodies present... which makes sense since they are using...

    I learned I have Celiac disease 2 years ago through a stool/saliva test given to me by my naturopath. She said I was off the charts. I also test positive for the Celiac gene. And, I have DH. But, I've never seen a piece of paper that says I definitely have Celiac Disease. Ever since my doctor informed me of this I went gluten free right away and...

    Last April (2010) I was diagnosed with Celiac disease so I went gluten-free hardcore... even replacing pots, pans, and my toaster in my house. The physical improvements I felt were incredible and sudden. One of the biggest changes I noticed was that my gut didn't swell up like someone had pumped it full of air immediately after every meal. I was actually...

    It seems that each time I go out to eat I find out more and more people are making the effort to please their gluten-free customers, however, they're just not quite getting the whole picture. A couple weeks ago I went out to breakfast and when I told the server I am a Celiac he said they had gluten-free toast now. I was so excited and actually thought...

    I'm having a hard time finding gluten-free body care products like: shampoo, conditioner, facial moisturizer, lotion, etc... I've seen where you can order things online but surely there are products out there that work well and are gluten-free already on the shelves. What do you use?

    I love Tinkyada brown rice pastas! I discovered them by going to my favorite pasta restaurant here in Portland, Pastini. They offer just about any of their dishes using their pasta. Once I learned the brand name I went straight to Whole Foods and bought some for myself. Great in mac and cheese, too!

    They do and it's wonderful... as are their bagels.. I mean, they are REAL bagels! I've heard their muffins are great, too but I have yet to try them.

    It was a homemade pizza made with an Udi's gluten-free crust.

    I recently found out that I have Celiac disease and when I was tested I also learned that I am not allergic to dairy like so many with Celiac are... However, the past few days I've been waking up with severe cramping in my lower abdominals and diarrhea. I've been completely gluten-free with no chance of CC but I've eaten a lot of dairy (pizza, glass of milk...

    I found out I was intolerant to gluten at the end of April and I'm pretty sure I'm Celiac (waiting on test to come back). I did a great job of transitioning to an all gluten-free diet and had immediate positive results. I'm a teacher and this diet was easy to stick to while I was doing my regular work schedule. Once summer hit, however... I had no schedule...

    Also doing a Candida Cleanse for 12 weeks but since quitting gluten 3 weeks ago I've noticed increased energy, less joint pain, getting my mind back (no more brain fog and able to form complete sentences without forgetting words and thoughts halfway through -that was soooo frustrating!), the bloat is GONE, more normal bathroom sessions, have lost 14 lbs so...

    Thank you all for posting. I apologize if it seemed I was yelling in my original post (with all the exclamation points)... it was early in the morning after a bad night of sleep... and honestly, I'm still a bit paranoid. One more question. I know I have get get rid of the porous items like wooden spoons, cutting boards, etc... but I'm wondering about...

    I'm 'completely' new to this... as in 3 days new, but I just assumed that if I didn't eat gluten, my Dh would have no reason to come back. Is this something I'm going to be putting up with for the rest of my life, even off of gluten? Thank you.

    I only found out I have Celiac on Friday so I finished up a couple things in my fridge and went completely gluten-free on Sunday. Now, I'm reading everything I can get my hands on and I'm completely freaked out about everything having gluten in it... or cross contamination. I'm starting to read about all these plaguing symptoms I've had that I never knew...

    ARCHIVED Dh And Celiac

    srfjeld replied to srfjeld's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Thank you, that's what I had thought but I wanted to make sure. I'll see if I have another flare up after going gluten free and possibly ask my doc to test me.

    On Friday my naturopath told me I have celiac disease. Since I've come out to friends about it I've been getting information overload. One person told me I'd have to throw out my toaster b/c it's contaminated, and possibly think about getting new pots and pans, cutting boards and throwing out mayo jars, etc... b/c they've all been contaminated. Another...

    ARCHIVED Dh And Celiac

    srfjeld posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    On Friday I got results back from a stool and saliva GI test I took through my Naturopath. She told me I scored so high against Wheat/gluten that she's almost positive that I have Celiac disease. She said the Celiac test is a pain in the rear and that I should just go about life as if I do... definitely staying away from gluten for life. Then, on Saturday...
