    Well, your doc's right... you definitely shouldn't drink it every day. I know, it feels great to go, but the last thing you want is for your bowels to become dependent on it... then you can't do ANYTHING! I wish I had some advice for you, as far as how to go... Actually, I do! I had a colonoscopy done and I had to do a liquid diet the day before I started...

    Well, I got my results back... celiac's disease it ISN'T! Good to know... but like I said, I KNOW I'm intolerant to gluten to an extent... so... to what extent is it? How do I find out? Is the only way to do my own experimenting? On Easter, my mom forgot to make the deviled eggs w/ gluten free mayo... needless to say, she forgot other things as well. I said...

    Your wife is a smart one! It never crossed my mind that it could be an allergy... or intolerance. I mean, hello... I'm a perfectly healthy person, right? But didn't we all say that at one point or another? lol... Things change! I say that if it's working for you, GREAT! Keep it up! You don't need a doctor to tell you what your body is already screaming.....

    The term "shut down" is exactly what I used when my bowels stopped moving. Weird, isn't it?! You're definitely not alone! As far as food goes, I'm totally new to this, so I haven't figured out much! However, I've been sticking with mostly whole foods... not only because of the price of gluten free food, but because I'm absent minded sometimes and I'm sure...

    Wow I'm surprised you found it online. With all of my research, I NEVER came across it. It's insane that something you'd never think of could cause two things so different from each other... constipation and a cough... but I'm glad you've found some relief! I just called my doctor's office and they said it'd be 3-5 days before they'd have test results. Waiting...

    Thanks! I hope so! I would like conclusive test results, either way! This is the only test I've ever heard of (besides a pregnancy test, of course) that often comes out negative when people actually do have the issue...

    Etta, it does, thank you! It seems that I'm the only person I know that's dealt with what I have... it seems so "odd" to everyone. Even my doctor (gastro) said, "Hmm, I've never heard that before..." My primary, before sending me to the gastro, also tested my thyroid. Everything was normal. So it seems I've had most of the testing done for what the doctors...

    Waiting for test results...

    Well, given that I spent 2 years like this... and only went 4 days w/o it... maybe I'll still have the antibodies present for the test. If not... then maybe I don't have it! I do know one thing though... I know my body, and even if I'm diagnosed with not having it... I do have a problem w/ gluten. I've never felt better, or more regular than when I stopped...

    Jaywalker... I did the same thing and I recently posted something asking for advice. I eliminated it (after chronic constipation) and started going, but stopped again. I'm supposed to get tested tonight, so I added gluten to my lunch... What exactly did you do that was the mistake? Did you test negative and then later find out it was a false negative??

    I am 26 years old and I've always been perfectly healthy. I had my tonsils out at 13, I had my appendix out when I was one month pregnant, at 18 years old, and I've had 2 c-sections. I have a healthy 8 year old daughter and my son was stillborn, still delivered c-section. His death was caused by a cord accident. I've never had any health issues or been diagnosed...
