      You can use the "reply button" but you have to type something in at the bottom of the quote that shows & THEN hit post. You just posted a copy of the "quote" or post from before.

    Hi FreeMe808! Thanks for the thanks! Its so gratifying to see any posts...old or new... help somebody else out! I had forgotten about this post ...and all the babbling, but reading it now... a few years later... WOW, I've come a long way....and mostly without doctors help, mostly kicking and screaming my way to my diagnosis. They didn't want to even consider...

    Hey Adalaide, I'm a tomatoe lover too,! And with multiple food allergies, along with celiac disease, I was sad to find that tomatoes and I don't get along so well. BUT... because I'm stubborn, and do ridiculous amounts of research about everything...and always have... I decided to do a little research and try a few "tests" ...which I often do, to broaden...

    When I finally got brave enough to try eating out, my husband and I went to PF Chang's which is fabulous in downtown Sacramento and Roseville, if you're near there...give it a try! They use special plates with PF Chang's logo on them to signify gluten free. The waiters are all trained, and immediately bring gluten free soy sauce, etc. I did get glutened once...

    This sounds like it could be Dermographism. Not a lot of people have it... I'm a "lucky one". Along with all my other allergies and intolerances, I was diagnosed with this when I had all my allergy testing. Its something I've had my whole life, and just never really thought much about it, but here are some examples: When I was little, my brothers and sisters...

    For me, generally I have symptoms in 12 to 24 hours if its gluten, and usually feel really crummy for 2-3 days, and semi crummy at days 4-5 ...and then pretty much back to good again. Something to remember and think about is that if you react to something immediately to within 2-3 hours at the outside, it is generally an allergic reaction, not an intolerance...

    Hey Mushroom! It's great to see you! Nice to see faces that helped get me through those terrifying, just learning stages of testing, and coping! You all made such a difference, and for that I am so grateful.

    Oh yeah.... dittos on most of these posts! GERD, IBS, colitis, diagnosis, just like Irish Heart (HI Irish... long time no see! ) ... and for me, going gluten free, and dairy free (dairy probably had a bigger impact on stopping GERD) along with eliminating coffee, citrus (orange juice, lemonade, etc) and also eliminating pork, which I was surprised to learn...

    Hi Celiac.com Community! It's been quite some time since I have posted here, but having just hit my two year anniversary, I had to pop in and see how everybody is doing. So "Hi", to all of you who remember me, and greetings to the newer posters!. I have been on a long journey to get to today, as most of you have, and I've learned a LOT! I have learned...

    Hi to my fellow celiacs... I wondered if any of you have gotten information on Pappy's seasoning? I've been diagnosed and gluten free for 7 months now, and having found out that I have other food intolerances as many of us do...has been a journey. When I was first diagnosed, I called every company I had products from, if they didn't have clear labeling, and...

    Thanks frieze... that's the one!

    Hi Gemini, I'm curious about others who have double DQ1 as well. My Dad has double DQ1 subtype 6 and has MAJOR issues with ataxia.. balance issues started about 6 years ago...but they didn't put two and two together, walks with a wide gait, had chronic hives for close to four years and no doctors could relieve them. He is considered by the medical community...

    These links will help explain things to you. You only have two... one from mom ... one from dad. You inherited either HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 from your mom, and you inherited one gene from your dad (he has two but you got only one of his). So essentially, you have one gene for sure that can predispose you to getting celiac disease... however that does...

    Thanks so much you to for the quick and helpful answers! So nice of you to take the time to share what you know...it really helps me out a bunch! Now I feel like I can proceed with confidence... and figure this out. You're both great! Gotta love these forums for help from great people! Have a great weekend!

    [fonft=Comic Sans MS] Thanks for your comments, Skylark. I'm really not so concerned about the genetic testing from Enterolab, since they get it done through the Red Cross, and even though they only test the DQB chain... in our case that doesn't matter since I'm DQ2.5 positive and the alpha and beta chains are always connected. If he has the DQB positive...

    Hi again everybody! Should have included this with the last post, but forgot. I have figured out how to zero in on fructose intolerance, and I've been lactose intolerant for many decades, but I'm a bit lost and confused how to isolate soy intolerance. Maybe its because I can't think of any "soy" by itself that I eat. It's usually some component of...
  17. MsCurious
    everybody, I'm looking for help from those of you with experience with Enterolab. Never thought I'd be looking at possibly using their services, since I am covered for just about anything that could possibly come up. But my son isn't so fortunate with his insurance. I have been tested positive with HLA-DQ2.5 genetic marker, and I have come to realize...

    Hey nik, Welcome to the boards and the gluten free life! I was just popping in to catch up with things and happened to read your post. It took me from January to April to get all the testing done and finally go gluten free, and it has been AMAZING to feel so great again. However... having said that, I too have had the roller coaster of fabulous week or...

    With all the recent travel I've done, I needed "emergency" foods available in my purse, so L

    Tonight we had Pork Ribs and Sauerkraut... YUM! It's an old family recipe handed down for generations... and sooooo good! It felt like a good night for some German cuisine! As my mom says... you have to serve it with baked squash and of course applesauce... its THE LAW! lol
  21. MsCurious
    I signed it, and hope they take it seriously. gluten-free and other food intolerances and allergies need to be taken seriously! Hopefully, it will become mainstream, and Girl Scouts could help make that happen. Good for them! (I was a Girl Scout)

    Hi everybody, Hi to my "old" friends here, and greetings to the new people! I'm back from lots of travel and its been about 6 weeks since getting answers and going gluten and lactose free... and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! No more sick tummy, headaches, fatigue... I FEEL GREAT! YAY! And I have to admit, I was a bit terrified of traveling, but planning...

    Hi GFM, It was Paul Newman's Raspberry and Walnut. And yes... I did use a wooden cutting board... previously used for gluten... I forgot. It's not the raw veggies... I love salads and eat them all the time. It was probably the cutting board.
  24. MsCurious
    Ohhhh, interesting! I have wondered about fructose myself. Limited is good for me, since I seem to have so many other no-no's besides gluten. I will take a look. Thanks SO MUCH for the links, Igg!
  25. MsCurious
    YAY!! Thanks so much, Irish, Karen and Rose!! WOOO HOOO... its DAIRY FREE! That makes me SOOOO HAPPY! Now I'm all set, I think! You guys are GREAT!
