  1. Hello everyone and thanks for your feedback. I have made sure that nothing I was eating contained soy, although I did notice the tostitos bag says soybean oil. I know soybeans themselves don't contain gluten, so I would have thought that the oil wouldn't either, so I thought it was safe. However, I am being tested for soy, egg, yeast and dairy as well...
  2. Wow Wheatchef, it sounds like you know what you're talking about. I guess the confusion for me is how do you know I have two genes that are the same? Is it the word homozygous? Not2sure
  3. Thanks for your comments Ravenwoodglass and Skylark. I appreciate your input. Skylark, what do you mean I have not one but two genes? Not2sure
  4. Hello All, I'm 'not2sure' and I am posting because I wanted to know what you all think. I have read lots and lots about Celiac and I think that my symptoms correlate, but on the other hand I'm beginning to think I might be wanting to test positive for Celiac as I don't want any other diagnosis, such as pancreatic cancer or something more severe. ...
  5. New to the gluten free arena. Been off gluten for 3 weeks now and have seen tremendous improvement with my symptoms, but this past weekend I had several things that I hadn't been eating that might have caused the symptoms to reappear. I had the baked Tostitos scoops and was wondering if they might be the culprit. The ingredients don't mention any wheat...
  6. I'm a newbie trying to figure out what to do. I've experienced diarrhea for a few months now along with greasy/oily stool, and have lost weight, which I didn't need to do. I've had fecal fat, bacteria and parasite testing done on my stool and they all came back normal. So the Doctor's PA and I spoke about the possibility of Celiac Disease and she's ordered...
  7. I received a phone call from the Doctor's PA and she said that my stool testing came back normal for parasites, bacteria and fecal fat, but when I told her that my symptoms has diminished after avoiding gluten, she said that we should do a test for Celiac. So I'm waiting now for the lab request to come in the mail. I spoke with the nurse assistant today...
  8. Hello and thank you to all who have responded. I am certainly not sure of what is going on, but I have noticed that since I've made an extreme effort not to consume any gluten, that the oily stool has cleared up quite a bit. On Monday, it being a holiday we had folks over for a cook out and I ate a marinated salad (raw tomatoes, onion, olives and a little...
  9. I posted yesterday and had no one reply, so I'll try this again. I'm experiencing some strange behavior in my bowel, that has only occurred since my recent colonoscopy. Thinking that I was having trouble after taking the laxatives that it might take a while to recover, but it's been over two months now and I've lost some weight, feeling tired and am having...
  10. I am a 50 year old Type 1 diabetic who recently had a colonoscopy done. No previous symptoms, but my aunt died of colon cancer, so when I turned 50 I thought it was time to have one done. Found I had a diverticulum, Doctor said to come back in 10 years. However, ever since the cleaning out I've had irregular bowel movements, including oily stool. No other...
  11. I can't figure out how to do this?
