    I wanted to get my son retested to see how well we have been doing with avoiding gluten. He has been gluten-free 6 months. So I was thinking if we redo the AGA IGg we should be able to tell, right? If we have been successful and he has had no gluten should I expect to see something low around 0,1 or so, or will it just be in the negative lab range (meaning...

    According to the author of Healthier without Wheat, who is a GI, as of the writing of his book, he states that there is no evidence that people with NCGS can ever introduce gluten into their diet safely again.

    I just glanced through the posts but one thing that struck me was that you are off dairy, but you are taking probiotics. My son takes probiotic pills they are gluten free but they are made with milk. Be sure to check your label. Also have you tried taking the dairy aid tablets? My daughter gets sick after eating things from dairy, but is fine when taking...

    We are gluten-free and are doing a casein free trial. Looking for some quick start info. If an item is labeled as vegan, can I assume it is casein free? do you think that going casein free for two weeks is long enough to decide if it is casein is an issue? Thanks in advance.

    I agree. 5 days wasn't long enough to make an impact especially since you said you weren't even totally gluten free. The AGA is a good test for gluten intolerance.

    I thought vinegar was okay to have....just not malt vinegar. Am I messing this up?

    Anyone have experience with Dominoes gluten free pizza? Any issues?

    I have a canola oil spray. It lists soy as an ingredient.

    I saw one yesterday. It was in a basket and it was $35. It was "out of stock" though. I think it was at the gluten free mall. If it wasn't there, you can probably find it if you google it. I think it was actually called a starter kit.

    However, if you husband was still eating gluten, why would he react to it?
  11. chrissyinnj
    When you have gluten by accident, does your reaction vary with the amount of gluten you ingest? (tiny bit of gluten= smaller reaction, lots of gluten= big reaction) or do you find it is about the same regardless of amount. Also, we you are glutened, how long does it usually last before you feel like yourself again.(hours, days, weeks, etc)

    wow, there really is quite a bit he's allowed to eat. Thanks for the infomation.

    I am curious how the food plan thing panned out. My son will be returning to that school after being diagnosed. I called the food service and they said he could qualify for a special diet if he had a letter from his doctor. I see the original post was a while ago...

    Any luck finding stores in Lynchburg, VA? My son will be returning to school there after taking a semester off to get his health straightened out.

    I'm reading some gluten-free meals books and they say that homemade breads are much more economical than the store bought. Do you find that to be true? Are they also tastier? I've seen some recipes on here that people rave about. So the book recommends buying a bread machine to make life easier. It also mentions that gluten free bread dough is harder on...

    I ask because I keep hearing doctors say if you don't have celiac you shouldn't be on it because it is not good for you. Frankly, I think my son is eating healthier than before.

    I know getting enough fiber is one, when you eliminate the whole grains. How do you make sure you or your kids are getting enough fiber? What are the other diet issues that we might need to compensate for?
  18. chrissyinnj
    If I have a favorite recipe, can I make it gluten free by just changing out the flour for a gluten-free all purpose? Or will that cause other ingredients to have to be adjusted? Should I just look for new recipes? I'm thinking about the holidays coming up. Cookie baking, other treats etc.

    While my kids don't go trick or treating, I do give out candy and my kids usually get the leftovers My son is already looking at it and asking So what can I have. I told him probably nothing. He looked so sad. Are there any gluten free halloween candies? I could take the time to research, but frankly right now we're trying to figure out what real foods...

    He's 18. He is not anemic, his D3 is low but not his calcium. He will go gluten free regardless. I was just wondering if he becomes sick and needs meds or such, will a doctor take GS into account or say its nonsense since it seems many think its celiac or nothing. His regular doctor seems clueless, so we went an alternative route. But blood tests are blood...

    So my child may be NCGS. His celiac labs came back negative, No numbers with it though. We've done it more than once and I was hoping to see whether the number was moving, even being negative. But the second time they didn't provide a number. He has only been on gluten about 10 weeks and the first test he was only on 4 weeks. (His obvious symptoms did respond...

    Also, I have read on several sites (plus my lab) now that the AGA (anti-gliadin antibody) is an indicator of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) You might want that test run as well. My son's results were negative for the celiac tests and strong positive for the AGA. (He was back on gluten for 9 weeks when the test was run). The lab noted that it was an indicator...

    Has anyone used any of the grocery store shopping guides? There are a couple of them out there. One is put out by some kind of marketplace, and I saw a couple of others. My son just learn he has to leave gluten behind, so he is new to the diet. The problem is he is a college student so he will be on his own with this shortly, more or less. We will try...

    According to recommendations by the AGA it is supposed to be 4-6 in the decending duodenum.
