I agree with chamomilelover. I, too, am more sensitive to dairy than to gluten (at least, it seems that way) and it has been much harder for me to give it up, mostly because I love it so much and was eating a lot of it before I realized I needed to stop. My problem is with casein, which means I can't have any dairy from a cow. But, I can have dairy from...

With these intolerance levels, she will likely never eat these foods again. I have casein intolerance and even the tiniest amount of dairy (from a cow) leads to days of discomfort. I am not a doctor, but I don't expect my intolerance to ever reverse itself - did the doctor indicate that it would? If so, I would work with an allergist, just to be sure....

Diagnosis of celiac disease can be difficult and even having a diagnosis and going gluten free may not solve all of your health problems. In addition to the tests your doctor and others here have recommended, I suggest you meet with an allergist and have a complete allergen panel done (food and environmental). Most people with celiac or other forms of gluten...

Thanks for posting. One of the products I am using is not on the list - oops! I guess I will be switching Thanks, again!

Can anyone recommend a doctor in Austin, TX or surrounding areas (could go to San Antonio or Houston) that is knowledgeable about treating the secondary conditions related to Celiac disease (skin rashes, Sjogren's, nutrient deficiencies, etc.)? After eliminating glutens and other allergens from my diet, I just need help diagnosing and managing other conditions...

After diagnosis, I have been strictly gluten free for several years and would never consider bringing gluten back into my diet. However, sometimes I grow weary of preparing all of my own meals and would like to occassionally dine in a restaurant or even just try a prepackaged gluten free meal for convenience sake. I am very sensitive to gluten and have...

My husband's experience was similar, in that after diagnosis and going gluten free to the extreme (we replaced all of our cookware, utensils and small appliances, the home and kitchen were rid of all glutens, any pre-packaged foods were prepared in a gluten free facility, he did not eat in any restaurants, all supplements and medications were clearly labeled...

Don't be discouraged. Plenty of hotels have full kitchens (Residence Inn and Candlewood Suites are two that we prefer and are just about everywhere). Depending on the city, you may need to bring some food with you (gluten-free bread, pasta, cereal), but fresh meat, fruit, veggies, cheese, herbs and milk can be found just about anywhere. With a kitchen...

I am curious to know for how long you were in Europe and what you did about food while you were there. My husband has multiple food allergies in addition to being a celiac. He is very sensitive to even the smallest amount of contamination, so when we travel, I will reserve a hotel or condo with a full kitchen and we typically bring all of our food with...

Leli - Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience. Your reply was exactly what I needed.

Has anyone had periodontal surgery? Periodontist claims it will help to restore bone and slow progression of periodontitis, but that some teeth may not be able to be saved. I think the periodontitis and resulting bone loss is related to celiac disease; not quite 2 years from diagnosis and being totally gluten-free, so wonder if the procedure should wait...

According to Gluten Free Registry, Gatti's only has the gluten-free pizza at 6 locations. My husband is very sensitive to cross contact, so I have been hesitant to try any. Gatti's has their handling procedures on their website, so we were feeling a little more comfortable about trying it. Open Original Shared Link Do you know about handling procedures...

Have either of you tried the gluten free pizza at Mr. Gatti's?
