    A lot of health problems run in my family, but I was the first one to find out about the gluten intolerance. It seems to me that the unaddressed gluten intolerance made my family more susceptible to health problems. I went undiagnosed with gluten intolerance for many years and instead amassed a variety of other diagnoses. When I went off gluten, many of my...

    I would be careful with dairy especially since you have noticed a connection between your symptoms and having dairy. There are twenty some proteins in milk you could be reacting to or the lactose/ milk sugar. I was diagnosed with casein intolerance, so I switched to alternative milk usually almond, cashew ice cream, and Daiya vegan cheese (though it has yeast...

    I have gluten and casein intolerance and cross reactivity issues with yeast and buckwheat. I was diagnosed with bipolar and add/adhd. Going off gluten and hence giving my immune system a break helped clear up my infections, which seemed to be triggering manic episodes. I have not been manic since I found out about the gluten issue and stopped eating it. I...

    Perhaps it is cross reactivity. Apparently my body is crazy and thinks yeast and buckwheat are like gluten so it reacts the same way. The test I had for cross reactivity also looked at seasame, hemp, sorghum, millet, amaranth, qunioa, tapioca, coffee, corn, rice, and potato. Issues with dairy are common - there are something like 24 proteins in milk, so there...

    Tea can have gluten. Some are labeled gluten free. I have seen some that are labeled gluten free. However, with gluten containing ingredients as key components of some teas or used for flavoring there would definitely seem to be the risk for cross contamination. I think I have seen some that are gluten free but have wheat, which I would avoid because of my...

    Thanks so much. When I saw the personal information, I thought everyone could see it. Thanks again.

    I am glad you did not just give her the medication considering the pharmacist's reaction and the side effects of the drug. I would talk to her she is a teen and has a right to be involved in her treatment. My family did not know gluten intolerance runs in the family, so I did not know my food was making me sick, so I suffered for years. My boyfriend found...

    I think you got to do what is best for you. I agree though that you can go on a gluten free diet without an official diagnosis of celiac's. I was told I essentially have it yet I cannot officially be diagnosed with celiac's given I did not have the standard accepted tests for it. Rather I had the genetic tests for gluten intolerance done. Even if the tests...

    I am not sure what you are looking for or how far you want to travel. I was impressed with Dr. Kharrazian's book, but he is selective with the cases he takes and he is across the country (he is in CA), but he has trained doctors who use his methods. They use herbs, supplements, and natural methods to promote healing. They focus on diet since digestion is...

    I thought of Dr. Kharazian's book Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms: When My Lab Tests Are Normal when I saw your post. Seems like you have the right diagnoses, which seems to be part of the battle since often gluten intolerance and autoimmune conditions are misdiagnosed. I think it is great that you are getting tested - I have had a hard time getting...

    How do I hide my personal information (last name, address, phone) on my profile/ member information page? I do not see a hide option. When I tried deleting it, I got a message saying it was a required field. Thanks!

    I had a genetic test through Entero Labs, which did not require a doctor's order to get it. It does not require having gluten to do the test. I would talk to your kids about it and how you suffered and how this might help them feel better to try not having gluten. Given the gluten free product industry it is a good time to go gluten free. I think it is important...

    I had the Cyrex Labs Gluten Cross Reactivity Test Done. I thought it was expensive especially considering it tests for so many gluten grains and dairy items both of which I am intolerant to, so I did not care. When my doctor recommended it, I did it in the hopes it would answer some questions about what foods I should avoid since it is so difficult to determine...
