    FANTASTIC articles! I am passing these on to everyone I know. Good grief my friends are soooo sick of my Facebook updates about celiac disease, but I dont' care! These are just too good not to share. Thanks for posting them!

    That article was awful!!! And the responses were even worse. What a bunch of misinformation! I wish there was some way to take it down. I hate to think that someone could read that and spread that sort of misinformation around. I shudder to think what my mother or mother-in-law would have to say if they read that. I'd never hear the end of how my son...

    Thanks everyone! My parents and in-laws live 500 miles away so we don't see them often. However, when my son was first diagnosed we got the call while we were visiting them. They all saw how devastated we were and how I rushed to the book store and bought about a dozen books on celiac disease! I didn't do anything but read about while we were visiting...

    Thank you for posting that! I'm not sure now how to feel about all of this. I think I'm just going to remove dairy from his diet and see if he improves. Other than how sick he was for the last 3 days or so, he's been complaining of stomach aches off and on and I know he isn't getting cc. Hopefully going dairy free will help. Thanks again! Melika

    I am so tired (have been up all night with my sick little one) and I know that somewhere in the recesses of my brain I know this, but it just isn't coming to the surface. Is it possible for someone with celiac disease to suddenly develop a dairy intolerance? My son has been gluten-free for over a year now. I know he isn't contaminated (I've gone over it...

    Actually I'm frustrated with my parents AND my in-laws. My 6 year old was recently diagnosed (again). Our doc didn't trust the lab where we had the first tests done a year ago and wanted them done through Prometheus, so we did them again. Same results. He has celiac disease. So we've really been dealing with this all for a year. We told our families...

    Reading through all of these responses is like reading my diary. I have always said that I have a "swiss cheese brain, things just fall right through". I just thought it was part of who I am. Well, low and behold going gluten-free changed all that! I still can't remember things very well long term, but my short term memory has greatly improved and I no...

    Hear hear to all! I am sick of people (who don't have to deal with allergies or celiac disease) telling me how wonderful it all is now. How much gluten-free food there is in their local grocery store, etc. Never mind the fact that my son can't eat those "gluten-free" foods because they don't have proper labeling precautions here in the states, and as a...

    Thanks! I didn't see that before and was wondering how to do a search here.

    Hello everyone, I am researching bread makers and would appreciate any input. Do you have a bread maker that you love? I want one specifically with a gluten-free cycle. Any recommendations would be most appreciated. Thanks! Melika

    Sounds yummy! May I ask what type of bread maker you use? I am researching them right now and having trouble making a decision. Thanks, Melika

    His serology came back fine. It was the genetics that came back saying "Extremely High". Couple that with his horrific reaction to gluten and the doctor put 2 and 2 together. I was actually proud that his serology came back negative, it shows that we have been doing fine on the gluten-free diet.

    Good point! Yes, our home is 100% gluten-free and has been for over a year. I'm going to have my other son tested for certain, but it seems like a waste of money to test myself. It just seems too obvious. Thanks, Melika

    Our whole house went gluten free when my 6 year old was diagnosed a year ago. My 9 year old doesn't mind eating gluten-free at all because he knows it helps his brother. My thought was that the rest of the world can be an unsafe place for my 6 year old and I wanted our home to be a safe haven for him. We don't allow gluten into the house AT ALL. All visiting...

    Hello everyone, This is my first post. My 6 year old son was diagnosed with celiac disease today. Well, one year ago, and then again today. The short version of the story is that our new gastro doc didn't trust the lab that the old blood work was sent to and wanted to run new tests. Tests came back positive, just like the first round. I told him they...
