    Ah boo. I will call on Monday. I'm taking quite a high dosage so if it's not gluten-free it's certainly a problem. I also just can't come right off it if it does have gluten so I'm hoping it is gluten-free! I have found some references online that it's gluten-free but will call to make sure.

    I am exclusively breastfeeding my 4 month old son and I was just diagnosed with celiac. I am going gluten-free immediately, but wondering if my son may already have been harmed by the gluten through my breast milk? He is severely underweight and we've been struggling with this the past couple of months - wondering if that could be a reaction to gluten in...

    Thanks everyone for all your help! I've been reading evertyhing I can get a hold of - not sure if I am getting more or less confused though!! I thought dextrose was safe? It is listed as safe on this site and not listed unsafe on celiac.ca. Also not all the labels I see state something like thickener 1487 - in fact a lot don't - but I think...

    Thanks mushroom for your support! My head is spinning but I am relieved to know so I can do something about it, and hopefully it'll help my son as well. I've just posted in the Coping With section with some questions. So many flying around my brain at the moment! I can see there's heaps of info here to help though, and a lot of people willing to share their...

    I was diagnosed today with celiac. Joy. I'm trying to get my head around this. I'm also vegan, so I fear I shall never eat out again! But being vegan also means I'm use to limitations on what I eat, so hopefully that will help in a kind of weird way! I have lots of questions, but these are the ones the pop up now: 1. If I'm sure the ingredients listed...

    Well, I'm just back from my GP and my blood test was positive for celiac. She said a false positive is unlikely, given that the test is pretty accurate, I've had "IBS" for years, and a rash the derm immediately thought was DH. My test result was over 100 and over 12 was positive, I think it was - sorry don't have all the details, crying baby was with me!...

    Thanks for the welcome! A wheat allergy never really occurred to me until the hives, which I thought was more of an allergic reaction than an intolerance? That doesn't sound like DH, does it? But I don't get it every time I eat wheat either, so that doesn't sound allergic? Maybe it was just a coincidence? Not sure where the derm took the biopsy from...

    To add to this, I've have wheat five times in the last 24 hours - the first three times the rash appeared, but the last two times it didn't. Does that mean the first three times was just a coincidence? This is so confusing!

    I'm waiting for my results from a blood test for celiac and a skin biopsy for DH. My main new symptoms that prompted these tests were blisters/rash on my face, neck, and elbows, but this has mostly cleared up now - just a few left. It was mostly constant for about two months. The dermatologist immediately thought of DH. I've had digestive issues for years...
