I'm so glad this thread is here. I was way too lazy to cook before gluten free (like bce?). I'm making this brown rice pilaf with prosciutto and sun dried tomatoes from the gluten free recipes android app. I've tried the broiled citrus & herb fish recipe from there, and it turned out great, and easy! I couldn't find prosciutto, so I just bought...

My sister has been having chest pains for several months. She has no digestive complaints, but she was diagnosed with diabetes 22 years ago. 5 1/2 years ago she had half her thyroid removed. She also takes antidepressants. A couple of months ago, she underwent a stress test which found nothing. Our grandfather has celiac disease. Because I've been...

My daughter's symptoms aren't that bad.... yet. She sounds like I did at her age, though, and I'm pretty miserable at this point. By experimentation with diet, we both seem much better gluten free. When our results came in, I gave her the choice whether to adhere to the diet or not. She chose chicken nuggets from burger king. It was the first gluten...

What I really want is scientific proof to throw in his face and scream STFU! or maybe I just want to rant. In his mind, no tangible evidence = nothing there

I'm wanting to be told something other than "its all in your head". i was even straight called crazy yesterday. my incredibly supportive boyfriend/father of the five year old child occasionally doubled over in pain from cramps thinks a negative blood test is sufficient reason to forget all of this. he even suggested I let him support us and.go back to...

I'm not sure of the correct place to pose a question about everyone else. Kind of gross question: Is it "normal" to have frequent, almost daily, constipation with cramps that rapidly transforms into extreme urgency and diarrhea? Is it "normal" for this diarrhea to involve such things as undigested food, malabsorbed fat, mucus, and blood? Do these things...

I feel exactly the same way. I wish it were just doctors, though. my boyfriend of nine years is telling me its all in my head. I wanted the test so badly just so I could prove I had a justifiable concern. I read a study someone had mentioned on a forum by Dr Peter green at Columbia. he looked at blood test results for biopsy diagnosed patients and found...

I have always had an 'allergy' to soap. I've never had it checked out. Every time I bathe, I get this itchy rash all over, mostly legs arms and belly. The absolute worst is dial bar soap. That is so bad that if I shower after it has been used I practically scratch my skin off. Could this be a gluten thing? If so, what ingredients should I be weary of...

Are they safe?

Forget it! Thank you for the response, but I have changed my mind. Immediately after starting this thread, I ate two slices of wheat toast to start preparing. I hurt before I even finished and was in the bathroom before I could even wash my plate. If two slices of bread make me feel like I'm dying, I'm done with it. As of this moment, my daughter and...

I finally found an affordable estimate for testing. Now I just need to get my doctor to send in an order. How long do I need to go back onto a gluten heavy diet to get a positive result?

I am currently in the process of performing a gluten elimination test on myself for possible self-diagnosis because of family history and a plethora of symptoms. I'm doing it this way because I realized testing is not financially feasible for me. My area does have government funded health care for low-income children. I have an extremely mature five...

There's a potluck style family gathering coming up. I never know what to bring even without dietary restrictions. The hosts are grilling burgers and hot dogs. I know of one person bringing potato salad. Anyone have suggestions/recipes of something suitable to contribute? The other people with dietary restrictions include diabetes and an allergy to alcohol...

Your number 1 is exactly the "feeling better" I was talking about. Along with the constipation (I know, those two opposites do not belong together, right) and horrible pain.
