    Hello I will be traveling to a non English speaking country in a few months. Can anyone recommend the best place to get chef cards or other things that I should have to bring with me to ensure I don't get served something I can not eat. Food allergies are soy, gluten and dairy. Ideally I would love a card with the other language Spanish, French whatever...

    Yes greens spinach sometimes apples may get things moving. I think it all depends on how backed up I am cause sometimes even the Miralax does nothing for me. I appreciate all your remedies keep them coming. You never know when I or you may need a new one to try. Alison

    Thanks for everyone's thoughts and advice. I hope once things heal inside that the constipation will at least decrease. For those that still suffer with constipation what is your fix or remedy to help. I have been through many over the years, from chamomile tea, heating pad on stomach, eating liquids only, triphala, Miralax etc. what helps gets you through...

    Thanks cyclinglady I have had my thyroid checked many times all good. As for eating I have always eaten good whole foods fruits veggie meat etc so the only dietary change has been eliminating gluten soy and dairy which affect me also. In terms of caloric intake that hasn't changed either. I work out hard always have so not sure of the weight thing. ...

    Wow that's two totally different answers! I am hoping I fall into the constipation going away category but I have battled SEVERE constipation for 20 years so I'm not real sure. I also seem to be gaining wait even though I'm eating much healthy and better, not sure what that is about. I have always been about 110-111lbs. I work out 4 times a week and...

    Hi just wondering how many people suffered with constipation from Celiac before being diagnosed. I believe the more common is diarrhea but what about constipation how common is that. Once being diagnosed and removing gluten from your diet did the constipation finally resolve? Alison

    Hi wondering if anyone has had a complete celiac panel that was negative and was then given a diagnosis of non celiac gluten sensitivity? If so how long did it take for someone to diagnose you and how exactly did you get diagnosed. Thanks Alison

    First thank you everyone for all you help and input thus far. I did just think of something and not sure if this would affect blood results or not. I DO NOT have a large intestine it was completely removed in 2003. From my limited knowledge of celiac it seems that all the damage is to the small bowel but what about the anitbodies the blood test check for...

    Hi have been thinking so please tell me if this is a correct train of thought. It seems that the Iga the wheat, gluten and tTg test for intestinal villi (tissue) damage. From what I have been reading the gliadin IgG AB (which was positive for me) is telling me that my body is making antibodies to gliadin which is a protein of gluten. So my body is having...

    Hello all I am new here and possibly a new Celiac. I will be getting worked up for Celiac but would like to know what blood test i should be getting to get a proper diagnosis and what levels would I need to be at to be considered positive? I would value your input as it seems you all have a much better handle on this than most docs. Many years ago...
