    I'm not sure about eczema, but I had a very mysterious rash for a LONG time and it's almost disappeared since I've been gluten-free. The doc said my rash "looked like eczema" but I'm not so sure. But if it was - then it can definitely go away off gluten.

    Hi Jorge, I don't really have much advice for you, but I just wanted to say don't give up! Lots of people on this forum have struggled and finally found ways to feel better. It might take a while but you can always ask questions or even complain here Did you ask the doctor what was going on with your endoscopy? It sounds like something at least...

    rosetapper, do you know where I could read that paper you were talking about?

    I live in Boulder, CO and it is GREAT for gluten free! In fact I just found out that there is a pizza place that has regular and gluten free pizza... FOR THE SAME PRICE!!! AHHH!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooo excited. This is a pretty wealthy area too so there are lots of whole foods and stuff that I do not go to very frequently No Trader Joe's though! ...

    Hi, glad you are feeling a little better! For shampoos/conditioners, I use Shikai. I am preeeeetty sure they are gluten free. I have the everyday shampoo and everyday conditioner. Open Original Shared Link

    If you want, you can buy grain-free pet food - it's supposed to be better for pets anyway. My cat is now really spoiled with the good (aka expensive) stuff

    My friends and I were talking about that too, and they all thought that if you eliminated a food for a while, and then reintroduced it, you'd feel bad no matter what. I don't think so though. My boyfriend eliminated gluten with me and he wasn't feeling bad at all before, and now 4 months later, he has had gluten twice and felt horrible both times. I don...

    Hi Sarbee, Why don't you just try going gluten free and see what happens. You might feel a lot better!

    If you decide to do a gluten challenge, I'd recommend maybe even more than 6 weeks. I did one that was 6 weeks and my antibody levels were were still negative, but slightly higher than when I had them done before. I don't know what to make of that - it could just be a fluctuation in the testing...? I have no idea. But if you want to have the most accurate...

    It's funny how wary so many people are of gluten-free stuff! They don't realize how much you can eat that's gluten-free. My close friends were great this Thanksgiving and we had a totally gluten-free meal, minus regular crackers with the cheese beforehand. They bought rice crackers too, though! I bought the gluten-free pie crusts from Whole Foods and...

    Missy's mom, that's an interesting idea. The rash is pretty much where my bra covers it, though there are smaller splotches down my sides almost to my waist. I'm not sure if allergies spread like that since I've never had one. All my bras say they contain spandex but not latex... but maybe they are similar or the same chemicals are used in making both like...

    Hi all! Thanks for your comments on my other posts - gluten stuff, blood sugar stuff, etc. With test results negative, I went gluten-free anyway, and I feel better. I went dairy-free too (starting yesterday) for a while to see what happens to my skin and I slept better and I'm more alert today. Yay! I still have this mystery rash though, that's been...

    I would definitely like to check out the book. This just make me wonder all over again how many people might have gluten problems and never guess. My boyfriend went gluten-free a few months ago but he never had any symptoms as far as he can tell - some of his family members were gluten free and convinced him to try. He has eaten a small amount of gluten...

    I'm confused - so a gluten intolerance causes "inflammation" and celiac causes the villi to get worn down? Does gluten intolerance eventually lead to celiac for everyone, or can it stay at the inflammation level not the vill-worn-down level? It seems like a constant state of inflammation is pretty bad too. I don't think my doctor thinks gluten intolerance...

    Well, I had a B12 of 270 and I felt horrible! Headaches, tingly hands and feet, fatigue. The sublingual B12 helped tremendously. I don't think I am especially sensitive to cross-contamination (yet) but maybe you are. Would your fiance consider going gluten-free so your house would be totally safe? Then you could cook just one meal

    Hi again everyone! I am happy to report that on the gluten-free diet I am feeling MUCH better! I am also eating nuts and more protein ALL the time and it's definitely helping. I haven't been testing my blood sugar much, but when I do it seems normal. I had no idea that diet could regulate blood sugar so much - I always thought that if you were not diabetic...

    Hi all, thanks for the suggestions. My doctor didn't seem worried at all by my numbers. She pointed out that I have been eating a lots of carbs and not much protein since I was trying to get as much gluten in during the challenge as possible. She suggested that I go gluten-free and after a week or so, do an experiment where I test when I wake up, 2 hrs...

    Thanks Emilushka!

    Thanks, Missy's Mom. My doctor's office is open on Saturdays, so at my appointment tomorrow I'll ask to be tested the next day if they can do it. The first time I asked about diabetes testing was when I was 22 and feeling just like this, and the doctor just looked at me and said she didn't think it was diabetes, probably because like you, I'm pretty thin...

    Hi again, I'm trying not to freak out but... I'm freaking out! Ahh! I felt yucky all day at work so I kept close track of my sugar. After that huge brunch thing, my sugar went down from 113 (1hr after eating) to 97 (hour and a half). Then I was starving again and ate a Larabar and a handful of corn chex. An hour after that it was (gulp) 1...

    Hi everyone, thanks for the replies! Skylark, thanks for the articles. I do feel better when I make sure I have a good mix of foods - and I usually eat something small every hour or so, and I carry some snacks with me just in case that feeling hits out of the blue. I always figured it was normal too but nobody I know seems to have this problem... all my...

    So I just checked again, an hour and 15 min after eating and it was 144! This time it went 134 (30 min), 144 (75 min). So it didn't drop down like usual. I don't get it!

    Hi again everyone, I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this forum! I'm learning a lot, and I'm ready to go gluten-free even if my test results are negative. I'm actually expecting them to be, since so many people's are. My 6 week gluten challenge ends on Friday and I'm seeing my doctor. One of my most annoying symptoms is what I guess...

    Hi Noni, I'm sorry you're still not feeling well. It's great that you have your own place though, that way you can control everything you eat! I don't have too many other suggestions other than what people have already said, but I think that with some support here, you can do it. The thing is you're really going to have to cook - but like people have...

    Wow, that's a bummer! Seems like lots of non-celiac people would even feel sick from eating 8 slices of bread! Although if you break it up with a sandwich, bowl of cereal, some pasta and some gluten-snacks... maybe that would equal out to 8 slices. Hmm...
