    I know that some kids can just be tiny, my sisters kids are rediculously little... In 2003, I was really sick, and it was after anything that I ate... Drs brushed me off for a long time and I just kept going from specialist to specialist with every test under the sun done... That whole time my eosiniphil count was extremely high (was tested for every parasite...

    I found one bread that I really like, it is Udis...I always toast it and add gluten free sandwich meat (I like budding--it's cheap and gluten free)and pile on the veges...I also like progresso rice soup (make sure it says gluten free--I think they just changed it)... I buy chicken breasts and cut them up and make very good gluten free chicken strips... ...

    I was waking up in the night thinking that my bed was shaking(not sure if that is the same feeling you had), but it took me a while to realize that it was me shaking. My blood tests came back neg for celiac, however, I have continued with gluten free and it has not happened again. many other things have improved as well. So I now think that I am non celiac...

    I am allergic to wheat and gluten sensative, I avoid gluten completely. It has only been a month for me, but it is getting easier every day. If she has celiac or gluten intolerance you have to avoid it completely. It will be hard at first but once she realizes how good she starts feeling it will be worth it. I have 5 small kids and in my home we are all...

    My doctor checked my iron and that was ok. He didn't think the other tests were needed since celiac was negative. I have been taking a vitamin b supplement though and a daily vitamin (gluten free)...Maybe that will start helping...And I did stop my immunptherapy shots two weeks ago thinking that it was causing my system to be hypersensative so maybe that...

    That is awesome!!! I think my weigt gain is caused from my wheat allergy//I was negative for celiac but do have a wheat allergy and I have so many issues I decided to go gluten free. It has been almost 1 month and I am feeling so good...The weight is not falling off like I hoped it would, I was just wondering how long it has taken you to lose the weight...

    Thanks, some of the itching has greatly improved... The only symptoms that I am continuing with are numbness in my hands, and hives...I only drink rice milk--but I still eat cheese and butter...I don't think I could handle giving them up yet---I will work on it..

    So I have been gluten free for about 3 weeks and everything is doing much better...I am still getting hives and itching.. Well three days ago I decided to give up aspartame, I think some of the itching is getting better...Has anyone ever put itching together with aspartame--otherwise I think I want it back!!!!!

    I know how you feel...I have had a peanut allergy for 8 years...It took along time to get diagnosed. In the last 3 years I have discovered a wheat allergy, milk allergy, hazlenut allergy, soy allergy, spinach allergy, and a HORRIBLE grape-raisin allergy... I am scared of alot of food, because sometimes things bother me and sometimes they don't...I seem...

    My tests came back neg for celiac. I am trying the diet and have been off gluten for 3 weeks. I am feeling better, not everything is perfect, but each day it's getting better. I can actaully stay awake after 8:00 and my insomnia is getting better. Digestively it has been an incredible turn around. I think for me the best way to go about it was knowing...

    I just wanted to say, I think the udis bread is very good. I always grill or toast it, but it tastes good enough for my children to like it (and they only like wonder bread)... Also I have had really good luck with bobs red mill all purpose flour...When I make choc chip cookies(I follow the recipe on the back of toll house), I just sub that flour and add...

    I am new to this as well. I have been gluten free for about 3 weeks. I tested neg to celiac, but I was positive to wheat allergy and I am sure that gluten is a problem, even if the test says so. I know how frustrating this has been for me, so many things have gotten better, but I am not 100% yet! I am not sure what is still bothering me, I started a food...

    I was wondering if any one knew if schwans oven roasted chicken bites would be gluten free? I had them last night, on the label it didn't say wheat and I didn't notice anything that was gluten. I got very sick last night and this morning and I thought it was from that...

    MY dr's nurse called tonight because I have been waiting for my results. Well she said my IGA for gluten was negative and Endomesio was negative. So from what she understands I do not have celiac. My dr is out until Friday...I was just frustrated and trying to bake cookies for my kids bake sale and I ate one...I feel really guilty now, because I haven...

    I started my gluten free diet 10 days ago. My stomach looks flatter, I don't have to run to the bathroom 17 times a day. I just feel better! I still have a lot of belly rumbling, and I am still pretty tired. I had blood tests run days ago and still don't have the celiac results, however, I was positive to wheat allergy. I decided that no matter what...

    I have been having chronic hives for a while my self. My allergist tested me for high antibodies to my thyroid, and mine our high. He said that the chronic hives could be from that. Have you ever had your thyroid antibodies checked? I have only been gluten free for a week, and I am starting to feel much better. I have many other allergies, but I have...

    It means Oral Allergy Syndrome...If I eat a fruit or a vegetable, I react as if I had eaten a pollen. I have very bad outside allergies and certain fruits and veges are are related to those allergies. My birch allergy is very high so I will react to apples and many many other foods. I also have a grass allergy, weed allergy, other tree allergies, and others...

    That is what happened with my wheat allergy. I stopped for a year (2007-2008), and never felt better. After I started allergy shots my allergist suggested that I could reintroduce wheat, thinking that it was related to my etreme grass allergy. When I started eating it, I felt fine. I was careful at the time to make sure I only ate it once a week. ...

    You are right! I have to start trying new things, but sometimes I get scared that it will just be one more thing I can't eat. I have the same food allergy thing, if I eat something to often (which I usually do) my body starts fighting it and I get an allergy...I have been getting allergy shots for two years and only have to go once a month and they have...

    I am still waiting on some tests, but I am not getting much better going gluten free. One test came back that I am allergic to wheat and eggs and peanuts and nuts(not sure which ones yet)and raisins. I have high antibodies to my throid(I still don't really know what that means) I haven't had gluten for almost a week, I thought I was getting a little...

    I have been off for five days as well, and I have the same problem. I don't go as often, but when I go it is still soft, or diarrhea. My stomach pain is gone and I feel better. I wonder if I am still getting gluten with out knowing it! Is microwave popcorn a problem?
  22. Happyw5
    I am having tests done right now, so I don't know all my results yet. My Iga came back negative. You sound like you have alot of the same symptoms I have. I have alot of digestive issues, but it's my chronic inflammation and itchy body that is driving me crazy. I started my diet and am already feeling better. I don't think I realized how much it was...

    The whole aspertame thing scares me alot... I have vertigo and Some nights it feels like my bed is shaking, but it's me. I almost feel like it's a seizure, and with my brothers epilepsy it scares me... I wonder if that happens when I have a diet pepsi before bed. I will have to start paying attention.

    I did get part of an update. The only celiac test I got back so far was Iga to gluten and it was 0.35, which is negative apparently. Other tests will be back next week. I did find out that I have an allergy to wheat and egg. My nut allergy came back positive, we already know I am allergic to peanuts, but I eat alot of almonds and I eat that amazing...

    My Dr said that they were still waiting on other tests, so hopefully those include the rest of celiac testing. I was eating gluten on and off for a while and then the week before the test I ate as much wheat as I could.(I tend to fall asleep right after I eat it, so mostly at night, since I have five little kids) My mom and my sister both have hypothyroidism...
