Oy -- that's a lot of gluten! I have been on the diet for about 6 months, but have slipped or cheated a number of times, accidents and otherwise. And paid the price for it! So ... pizza for dinner, I guess. Ugh.

I finally convinced my doctor to order a round of blood tests to figure out what is wrong with my crappy immune system (which I believe is due to celiac or gluten sensitivity). The tests include a celiac screening panel. I'm sick now so I have to wait until I'm better to do the tests. It's up to me when to go in, I am thinking two weeks or so. Right...

I am in the same boat in Ontario. Seems no doctors take celiac or gluten sensitivity seriously. Like our symptoms are fake or something. My doctor said "I'm not going to test you ... just try the diet and see if it helps." Well, that's great, but I kind of wanted an answer. And now my son is showing symptoms IMO. :/ I am considering hitting Toronto WholeFoods...

I never thought of the school staff -- good point, thanks! I think I will get my doctor to do the test. If I push, she may give in. Hopefully. Why are doctors so hesitant to suspect celiac, anyway?

Thank you very much for responding. I think I need to use my imagination a bit more with this diet, and maybe practice with the baking. I will check the forum for sure.

Hi there, I'm self-diagnosed gluten-sensitive, possibly celiac but have not been tested. I've been on the gluten-free diet for 6 months, but have slipped up many times. Usually it's lack of knowledge (took me a while to figure out soy sauce, for example) but once in a while -- as happened last week -- I just got sick of eating gluten-free and wanted the...

Hi there, I am self-diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity, possibly celiac but not sure. My family is trying to move to a gluten-free diet, as my 5 year old son seems to respond well to it, but they do eat gluten products regularly. At my son's last check-up I asked my doctor about my son's stools (sorry if TMI), which are yellow-beige coloured, loose...

I'm currently on a gluten-free diet -- not diagnosed celiac but I have a sensitivity if not full-blown celiac. Years ago I was tested for sensitivity via a naturopathic doctor and it showed I react to gluten. I cut it out for a short time, but began eating it again. Recently, after a stomach flu that left me sick when eating gluten products, I eliminated...
