    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.

    If the cross contamination issues are so bad, the lactose thing may not even be an issue. Both times happened after eating at work. Our eggs and omelettes automatically come with toast, so the entire area surrounding the toasters is frequently covered in crumbs. This surrounds the cold bar. How much concern are grill surfaces, egg pans, and spatulas?...

    First thing after work is perfect for shopping. No one is there. The night shade is a great idea. I just had an eye mask/ear plugs set. I would prefer night shift with your lifestyle. I switched to days because I have a five year old at home. I'm actually being put back on nights at my job starting this Saturday as punishment for oversleeping. The...

    I called the hospital and they told me the test would run between $500 and $1700. My insurance pays 70% up to $500. I'm also not entirely sure what I have to do to get them to do that. I'm more worried about just getting people to take me seriously. The person who has encouraged me the most is my mother. Now that I'm doing it, she's even talking about...

    I'm not even sure I actually have celiac disease yet. This is my tenth day without gluten. I can definitely say I have a serious issue with being hard on myself. I was a straight a student when I was younger. I hate for people I knew then or the people I actually graduated with (I went to a boarding school for Arkansas' best and brightest) to know that...

    I have since decided it's also the only affordable way to go. I've gotten some bulk quinoa from the local coop, along with gluten free oats. At a regular grocery store last night my frustration didn't lift until I got to the produce section. Luckily, I love vanilla soy milk while hating the regular stuff anyway. I still have to admit to my caramel quakes...

    I made the decision to be tested for celiac after almost losing my job from oversleeping too often, in spite of having tried a plethora of antidepressants to alleviate the problem. Basically, I'm lucky that I've been there so long and my boss likes me. Unfortunately, when I looked into it, I discovered there's no way I can afford even the blood test. My...
