ARCHIVED Celiac, Severe Bloating, & Eating Disorders
Redeemed replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am sorry so many of you are experiencing bloating issues, but comforted (in a way) that I am not alone in this frustrating struggle. I am 5'10", 155lbs, newly turned 40 year old, mother of 3. I have a small waist, but have always had a bloated lower abdomen. It is so frustrating trying to explain this to a doctor, only to have him tell you that as we... -
ARCHIVED Trader Joe's / "shared Equipment....shared Facilities"
Redeemed replied to Redeemed's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Funny...about the "shared facility" within our own house.....true! I think I am extremely sensitive to things made on the same equipment b/c corn doesn't bother me. I will be more careful from now on. Thanks! Rachel -

Britte, Thanks for your response. I will certainly read labels more clearly, now....as we wait for laws to hopefully change. I agree with everything you said, btw. -
ARCHIVED Celiac Mom. Kids Positive, Regardless Of Negative Diagnosis?
Redeemed replied to Redeemed's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you for your reply. Trust me, I am SO close to just having the whole family go gluten free! It would make life so much easier, in many respects. However, after reading Dr. Green's book (and other medical literature), it seems like the concensus is to refrain from any gluten trials. They say that it could affect future testing. I know what you mean... -

ARCHIVED Celiac Mom. Kids Positive, Regardless Of Negative Diagnosis?
Redeemed replied to Redeemed's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks. I DID have them genetically tested. I forgot to mention that, but (in a reply to someone else) added that information, later. They all tested positive for the DQ2 gene. I am not positive I am saying that correctly, but they were all positive for one of those genes--making the potential for Celiac in their lifetime a reality. They are getting... -

Thanks, Vicky. I will check into the Enterolab tests. I forgot to mention that I did have them tested (genetically) for that HLQ gene (not sure if I am saying that correctly). All 3 are positive for one of those....I think DQ 2 gene--have the results filed away. All I know is, that is another piece to this mystifying puzzle. I appreciate your reply. ... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Mom. Kids Positive, Regardless Of Negative Diagnosis?
Redeemed posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Help! I am going crazy over whether or not any of my children have Celiac. I suffered for years with gas, bloating, constipation, depression, and extreme fatigue before having a doctor tell me I had IBS. My celiac panel was negative. I did my own research and requested a biopsy from the same Gastroenterologist that diagnosed me with IBS. While wheeling... -
ARCHIVED Trader Joe's / "shared Equipment....shared Facilities"
Redeemed posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am new to this, so please bear with me. Has anyone had any reactions to eating food that were labeled "made on shared facilities..." or "shared equipment...?" I recently bought a box of taco shells and a box of waffles at Trader Joe's that were labeled, "made on shared equipment...." I had the taco shells last night, the waffles this morning, and the...
