    Wow. I am waiting for blood test results (and have already gone gluten free for maybe 2 weeks, with some significant improvements in GI symptoms, but not cured yet-- waiting on immodium to kick in right now before going shopping), but since I've been "sick" (become quickly miserable for the last six months), my hair has been falling out too. I don't see...

    I live in Atlanta, and off Buford highway, there is an amazing smorgasboard of restaurants with delicious traditional Asian foods, but not a lot of English. They have picture menus for us monolinguals to point at, but I don't know where to start a conversation about gluten. I'm going to print and take with me the language cards, but in addition to that...

    Anyone know about Korean? There is a wonderful 24 hour Korean spa (family friendly place based on traditional Korean bathhouses) where I love to hang out for hours. I get hungry, though, between the saunas, but there is a heavy language barrier and I haven't been able to verify that anything is gluten free. I'll find and print a card to take with me, but...

    Congratulations on such a fortuitous discovery! It's maybe a strange thing to celebrate, but valuable just the same. I am constantly looking for silver linings (how nice it will be to have a diagnosis if I have Celiac, and how much healthier I will eat, if I turn out to really have it, which might get me into the healthier lifestyle I've been meaning...

    I'm so sorry! Poor little guy. It sounds like you've got all the confirmation the doctor should want!

    Thanks for the head's up on Quaker-- that is what I was eating. I got the Lundberg brand now, which is fine, but so crumbly (about a whole rice cake worth of crumbles left in the bag)! But I'm glad to know that seaweed flavor rice cakes exist. I may not get them again, but the universe is a fuller place for having them (yuck)! They haven't mailed me...

    First caveat-- I am still waiting to see if I have Celiac (waiting on blood test, started gluten-free after the blood test and too soon to know if it helps). However, I did Atkins for two years, and can comment on that. I lost a lot of weight, and felt really good. My cholesterol profile improved dramatically, even with all the red meat! Also, as I...

    Thanks, ya'll! I got the actual blood test done at the start of this past week (eating bread up to the day of testing, and cutting gluten out the next meal after the test). My doc may mail the results, but won't be able to sit down and talk to me until mid-July. My rice cakes have "gluten free" on the label, so I'm hoping they mean what they say...

    Ha! Sorry I wasn't clear. I mean that in the last several months, I was living on pb&j (with bread) in an effort to get some relief from eating a light, bland diet. It only helped some. The celiac theory is new, and I only just cut out the gluten this week (and realized that the pb&j route may have been hurting more than helping).

    For about 6 months, I've been having "tummy trouble," which is to say, regular daily diarrhea and painful cramping. It started slow, but when I caught a stomach bug that many of my friends had, I didn't really recover. The first suggestion by the doc was IBS, and I was given hyoscyamine, then hyomax, to get it under control. Hyomax helps, but had bad side...
