Thanks Shauna! Ya...I'm still confused. I get a migraine usually without fail about 21 hours after eating dairy (mainly cheese)...yet some days where I didn't have cheese or anything dairy the day before I still get a migraine. So I am in the process of doing a daily, in depth food journal. (something I should have started years ago...but better late than...

freihofer's whole grain white doesn't have any milk

Ya, that's what I was afraid of. I am having the hardest time pinpointing anything...especially because I am almost positive whatever it is has a significant delay with reactions. I recently started keeping a very detailed journal, so hopefully that will help

Just curious if anyone here has had the ELISA testing done, and if it was helpful or not. I keep getting so close to finding the answer to my health problems, and I am still convinced it is food related...just looking for a means to find some real answers. Is it accurate? Is it helpful? Also, is it something my GP could do or do I need to go to an allergy...

I actually was thinking that was a possibility too since I eat a lot of lunch meat and things with "caramel color, natural ingredients, etc etc" that I have read could contain casein. However, over the past few weeks where I was headache free I did eat some of those things problem free...which is why I'm confused (and discouraged)

For yesterday, I am sure. I checked every label. All I ate was oatmeal with water and sugar, a sandwich with turkey, lettuce and tomato on whole grain white with 100% natural potato chips, and then popcorn chicken and frozen french fries later in the day...checked he label and saw no dairy. However, the day before, I had pasta with a SMALL amount of parmesan...

About a year ago I actually became a member here and was very active on the board, thinking I definitely had celiacs. I got most of the tests you listed as well as a colonoscopy and biopsy. On top of the that, on my own, I did a FULL gluten free diet for about free months (down to all new cooking utensils and shampoo) with ZERO positive results. At...

I've had many chronic symtoms over the past probably 7 or 8 years...getting worse over the past 2 years. The core symtoms are chronic nauseous, dizzy, headaches/migraines (nearly every day), general fatigue and weakness, and brain fog. I've seen MANY doctors. Multiple GPs, multiple neurologists, a GI, an ENT, eye doctors, dermatologists, therapists, you...

Thanks for the reply! Ya, the only things that really changed were the vitamin D and the diet...got a new script for the D, and trying to stick to a better diet. For the biopsy, do I still need to be on gluten for 3 months? (ive gotten the bloodwork done twice by 2 different doctors while eating gluten, both negative) Thanks again!

Thanks love2travel. I have only had bloodwork done. If I wanted to get a biopsy or something, is 6 weeks eating gluten enough or no? Just don't know what to do next :/

Well the problem is that I felt better going OFF the diet...which is why I am so confused. I guess my bottom line question is could it take 6 weeks OFF the diet for the gluten to start affecting me again? You said that this sounds "dangerous" a few times...what exactly do you mean by that?

I haven't posted on here in a while. I have had a lot of health issues over the past year or so, and decided to try gluten free on my own (negative blood work) I was gluten free for over 3 months with no (noticeable) difference, so I went off the diet. I have been off for about a month-6weeks, and most of that felt a little better, noticeably better...but...

Thanks again guys...and sorry for all the complaining. I guess it boils down to what you were saying...you saw SOME symptoms go (like maybe stomach problems) within the few months...but I haven't. My stomach is worse than it ever was and everything else is the same. I guess that's where my doubt and discouragement comes from. Also, I think me wanting this...
