    K, I am going to ask Gluten Dude to post this --he gets a lot of traffic on his site and on FB.

    Peter is right...and I have friends who have taken the time to learn about CC and have actually cooked for me while I supervised and I was fine. Explain. Give them information from a reputable site. Give them a copy of Real Life with Celiac Disease by Melinda Dennis and Daniel Leffler (it has everything in it--good advice from celiac dieticians like...

    It's not really all that "high maintenance" I assure you. i did it for a year and I added dairy back and now, soy lecithin and soybean oil do not bother me one bit. And you may not even need to be DF and SF after you start to heal (I am a prime example).Lactose intolerance is secondary in celiac. Once the villi heal, lactase is produced once more in...

    from the Univ. of Chicago Celiac Center FAQ section: Why do you insist I eat gluten for a diagnosis when I feel better on a gluten-free diet? Five reasons exist as to why someone might feel better on a gluten-free diet. It’s crucial to understand which of the five is the cause in order to implement a safe dietary program. Celiac disease Non-celiac g...

    Hon, you have to be consuming gluten for the celiac panel to be valid. Stay on it for testing. You can't go by my experience because I am an unusual case. My blood panel was negative (which happens sometimes) and I went undiagnosed for a long time as a result.

    Catching up here..okay, I .LOVE lemons, LOVE sea bass, LOVE coconut anything, LOVE waffles, and if you want a giant salt water pool, I will be living near an ocean soon. Come. Visit. Me. Ski, the cover story on the Conservationist Mag hubs gets every month--wild mushrooms. I swear, Shroomie keeps sending us signs. Sunday night the power was off for...

    We're on your side. We want you to find answers and we want you to stop feeling lousy and get better. but, mostly we want you to get better and invite us over for a party. P.S. As you can tell, I am NOT the quiet reserved person at the back of the room (although when I was very ill before my DX, I did not speak much at all. I became...

    well, I'l make it a threesome and concur... An endo looksee and biopsy perhaps, IMHO

    Hi eblue and welcome to the family ! I will never understand why people question a diagnosis of celiac disease. it is a potentially life-threatening autoimmune disease and I wonder if they would have questioned a DX of MS or cancer, too? The way you stand firm and present it to others will be key in them taking you seriously. Maybe this article...

    Well, I'm another on the HIT parade.! If I take those high histamine foods out for a few weeks and add just one or two back in, the inflammation goes down. My GI doc says this is a real food intolerance based on low levels of two enzymes produced in the gut that break down and regulate histamine in the body. How can this happen? celiac is one...

    No, I can't say that soap has ever caused me abdominal pain.

    ah, the simple pleasures, eh, Ski? Still ridiculously and unseasonably hot here today (I like it, but everyone else is whining and complaining already...same people who harp on the snow and cold all winter...) and, I am thinking chicken on the grill and a big salad wiith some nuts, goat cheese feta, mandarin slices, raspberry vinaigrette (pushing the...

    Whoohoo!! I trust the " so far so good "continued?

    My Mom LOVES the genius bread. I have not had it yet--not available here. Enjoy!! I LOVE burgers( I admit it) and we had them tonight with asparagus on the grill. It's 93 dang degrees here. and I had BA-CON on those BEANS last night and all is well in the land. (so.....that's eggs, beans, toms and bacon I got back ...............so, whoohooo...

    I understand your frustration (believe me!) but Enterolabs promises a "gluten sensitivity diagnosis" which just does not exist. There are NO current tests for NCGS. This is not a celiac diagnosis, either. Self-diagnosing and saying you have celiac is entirely your call, but it is not a valid one, based on this test. If your doctor is willing to biopsy...

    That..my friend, is the $64, 000 question!! beats me.

    And all of my 5 angels too. I suspect my Dad is bouncing them on his knees and showing them around his garden. God got a master gardener when he got my Dad. :) Amy, you are an intelligent, funny and wise woman.!! Stay off gluten and live a long , happy life. If you ever need a kick in the pants to remind you, call on me. Or Mindwarp. :) or both....

    yes, what she said!!! Barty, my sweet friend...you GET IT, but sadly, many who should be more aware of what they need to to do stay safe, do not. Education is the key.
  20. IrishHeart
    is this an Enterolab Test? just curious
  21. IrishHeart
    Just want to let you know this thread is 3 years old and the people you are replying to may not see it. Also, celiac testing should be done while you are still consuming gluten. Best wishes to you

    That sounds like a fab plan! I am a city born and bred girl too, don't forget , but I have lived in the country for so long now that I am wondering if I will be able to adapt to yet another planting zone change? 4 to 10 is a big leap. But at least it's not ZONE1a (Love 2--you poor chilly thing) GET THEE TO CROATIA permanently!! The tomatoes and...

    If you feel you are gluten intolerant and need to stay off gluten, then you should do it. Why be sick? But you asked "should I self diagnose?" and IMHO, no. You may not have Celiac Disease, you could have any number of other illnesses that are making you ill and it is wise to get some guidance from a doctor (this is not easy for me to say, given my history...

    I had the flu in February. I never get the flu. Guess it was my turn. I was not CCed. I felt like death warmed over...it was awful for several days and then, the hubs got it. WHY?? He even got the flu shot! So, we filed it under "sh*t happens because we go to the gym and people sneeze and touch things and well... ..... Hon. sometimes we get ...
