Great post. I have been trying to figure this out too and can't quite get the information. I want to know if there are certain degree's of gluten intolerance. For instance, Are there people who can eat small splurges with no effect?

Here is what you do= You buy kefir grains online. I ordered mine from etsy...you put the grains in a jar and two days later you will have kefir. It will start adding flora back in instantly. You will feel so much better!! many get raw milk and add it to their grains. The raw milk is also loaded with enzymes and nutrients/that paturized milk does not have...

Thx :-)

Hi Everyone, I would love to know this. Are there various degrees to Celiac? For instance, can some splurge on rare occasions ( a few things on the weekend) and have no effect? is there any room for cheats? Also can you please list how and when your symptoms hit, after you have eaten it. Is it gradual or do you feel sick right away. Can you eat...

Beebs, if you don't mind me asking, what were all your other symptoms that disappeared? Also, how long did it take?

Amazing everything disappeared I need to be more committed. It seems as though I start, and don't see huge differences.. so I stop. I either need to gluten up and test/or stay strict

Beebs, I completely understand how you feel..It's as if you are in limbo..yet, to do all the tests take time, energy, money.. and having to regluten yourself for months :-( Def. a catch 22. Did you do the blood tests. trans. glut?

3 months **SIGH** I don't know. I want to quit gluten all together, however without the test I will never really know for sure for my son and he is experiencing some symptoms. Did you get the other tests or did you stop at just the gene test? Can you tell me what your symptoms were and what went away/how long?

Thank you so much for writing me back :-) I started going gluten free to test the waters...so I am about 70% gluten free 30% not. I don't have the classic bending over in pain after being glutened. i also don't have diarrhea. What I do have is muscle aches/fibro, ulcers, vocal chord swelling, headaches and the intestinal flares (which feel like ulcers) are...

Hi, This is for all of you experts on Celiac. I have had symptoms for years: painful bloating, mouth ulcers, diziness, fibromyalgia, gassy, etc... However, I started on semi-gluten free..so couldn't take the blood test unless i loaded up again. I did take the Gene test however: tested negative for DQ2...tested positive for DQ8/DQB1*02. What do you...

Thank-you both for your great advice! I still have a couple of questions if you don't mind- If my sons symptoms are; motor tics, attention problems, repetitive thoughts....will it be a delayed effect? How long before your son/who has OCD felt the difference? Does it go away in One day, and if he eats a reactive food..will I notice a difference right away...

Moms, I need your advice~! My sons symptoms: 9 ear infections in 15 months- Attention problems, dark circles under eyes, allergies, and OCD getting worse. (I have autoimmune-fibromyalgia) Dad has tested pos. for celiac. Testing: tested a 3 on a celiac panel with referance range of 6 being positive. Low vitamin D, lower iron. How do I find...

Thanks for your answers everyone. All of this is a nightmare to find out. The elimination diet stinks. It's so hard to know what is what and takes forever. I am going to get an allergy food test panel/and tree's, pollen, etc..panel. I AM tired of Dr's!!! ACK

Hi everyone, I was wondering if some of you can help answer a test question. My son took the test (has reoccuring ulcers in mouth, low D, Low Iron, muscle pain,e tc...) His test came out a: 3 The test said anything over a 8 is a positive. Could he be celiac positive with a 3? or even sensitive? We hadn't been loading up on gluten at all prior to...

Well, here we go! I just received my Biocard test from Canada in the mail! Even if it is negative, will still do a few more tests..... Can you tell me... 1. Does the endo. procedure HURT/or uncomfortable. What is your experience with it. Is pill cam better? 2. I have been eating gluten for some time, however should I load WAY up prior to the test...
