    I agree with everything kareng talked about! With one additional note...with IBS your pain will be most likely be in the form of spasms while with celiac it will most likely be more sharp or shooting pains. This note is what made my doctor agree to a celiac test. Hope it gives you the same help it did me!

    My husband buys his own wings without breading. Sometimes he uses gluten-free bread crumbs, other times just plain. Then fried them in our home fryer (that is always gluten-free!!!) with his choice of sauce on top. Still tastes great, but safe at home!

    More veggies or raw fruit will definitely bring on gas and bloating! Another thought is advil...if she has taken any for of advil (other meds can certainly do it too) can make your stomach feel all sorts of weird feelings.

    This is interesting! I don't know much about a corn free diet but it sounds like it's worth a shot to be rid of this crazy itching and be able to do my hair again! (I miss doing my hair and I think my husband does too, though he's too supportive to admit it to me). Is there any hidden corn sources I should know about?

    Thanks! I just don't really trust many doctors any more since I've been through so much crap trying to figure out what's wrong with me. They tried to convince that I had a STD before...yeah it turns out I'm just gluten intolerance.

    Can someone tell me the difference between DH and Psoriasis? I have tried to research it over the web and am getting conflicting reports. I was diagnosis psoriasis before any thought of going gluten-free on the basis that I had intense itching and white patches all over my scalp and a bright read underneath. I was given a steroid and it helped the symptoms...

    So we basically are in the same boat with the GERD. I take Zegrid daily each morning which is just another PPI, but as far as I can tell it will be a life long thing unfortunately. The risks of doing the corrective surgery far out way the meds...or so i am lead to believe my by doctors! Good luck with the gluten again and eat a big piece of warm french...

    The Coldstone by my house is awesome! They get out a separate container to mix my ice cream in with clean spatulas without me asking for them too! It's great

    I would say that just because you have the gene does not mean you have to be gluten free. I do not have any signs and choose to be gluten-free because it makes me feel better. I have no proof from any sort of testing that I am Celiac, however all of my symptoms go away when I stop eating gluten. So if you eat gluten again in a gluten test and feel fine after...

    It is quite possible to have a delayed reaction to the gluten. I know when I get glutened my worst symptoms come in the following 24-48 hours. Whether you want to go through with it is up to you. I do not need a test to tell me I can't have gluten. If it makes me feel so much better it's worth it no matter what the test results say. However, some...

    I would agree with Sylvia on the sourdough bread sounds shady. However, I do not eat bread...I kind of just given up on the fact that it's going to taste great. I have tried Udi's and Rudi's and I don't bother with them. I get creative and eat lettuce wraps and things instead.
  12. krystynycole
    Definitely without and I would make sure they are thawed completely before frosting.
  13. krystynycole
    That's sort of what I was running into. I couldn't really find any reason to believe it. Plus I lick envelopes all the time and send out a lot of cards at Christmas without having a reaction which made me question it even more.
  14. krystynycole
    I heard that envelopes that you lick may very likely contain gluten and they should never be licked. Is this true? This seems strange to me, but I would believe it at the same time because gluten is everywhere. Any thoughts??

    It could very well be silent celiac or villous atrophy, but I won't go on about that because others have already talked about it. It could also be related to PCOS. I have a friend of mine who was diagnosed with PCOS and a thyroid issue shortly before I went gluten free. We had very similar symptoms and I even considered getting tested for PCOS and thyroid...

    I agree! We used to have a grilled cheese every Sunday night for dinner (before i was gluten-free) because my mom would make a big lunch and this was something us kids could make easily. I have not found any bread that tastes good wit it. I even tried to fancy up the sandwich with a parmesan cheese coating on the outside to help the bread out...there is just...

    I get them at Jewel in the Midwest which I believe is the same as Albertsons and Super Valu. They are always available at my store as are many Schar products. I do not care for most bread, but I know many people do eat it and enjoy it. I ate gluten fro 25 years of my life and was very much in love with bread and pasta so for me eating gluten-free bread...

    I have not personally struggled with these, but I can tell you that A LOT of people on here have struggled with anxiety and depression issues. I haven't had heard of anyone who was diagnosed OCDC, but I think many people may think we are because of how diligent we have to be when being gluten-free! Many think we go overboard trying to keep from having cc...

    My blood work came back negative and I had a colonoscopy for other reasons shortly before that was "perfect" according to the doctor. Though going gluten-free I feel like I have my life back! I would not go back to eating gluten-free for anything.Healing can take a long time depending on how long and how serve your symptoms are. Just keep in mind no two people...

    I haven't had a cold sore or canker sore since going gluten-free this past November! I used to get them all the time and now nothing...it was nice surprise!
  21. krystynycole
    I am still not diagnosed with anything by a medical doctor. My doctor refused to do a biopsy because my blood work was negative. I choose to eat gluten free because no doctor could help me and I needed to feel better. Long story short...I went on the diet felt fantastic and wouldn't go back on the diet for anything! I used to have to have bloody bowel...

    Check out the recipe forum on here for great recipes. I would start by eating things naturally gluten-free. Tacos, stew, chicken, rice, hamburgers, kebabs, omlettes, etc. This will make you more willing to continue!
  23. krystynycole
    I was the same way. I had pasta at least 3 nights a week and a large portion of bread to go along with it! I didn't see any way to survive happily. However, the pay off will be more incentive that you can imagine! Hang in there! I personally don't eat gluten-free bread, though many find it worth while. If you are a baker I know people have a ton of success...
  24. krystynycole
    Agreed. It can go either way. I have actually stayed the same with my weight.
  25. krystynycole
    Definitely! It was one of the wonderful surprises that went away from going gluten-free!
