I'm struggling with the same issue, trying to get that score down. Stop the gluten-free Oats, until the score is down to 20 at least. I'm starting to eliminate Gluten Free processed food, and ingesting Certified Gluten Free only. I may eliminate those as well if I don't see the results I want. I've considered starting to use my own dishware separate from...

There's one this weekend in Phoenix (actually Glendale, AZ at the University of Phx stadium). I was hesitant on going due to the admission cost, but since you folks gave it such a great review, I'm planning on attending. Thanks! I'll post a review after attending for my first time.

Good to hear. How was the bun? Udi's bread is the best I have found, but it does not work very well as a hamburger bun, and Udi's hamburger buns SUCK!

Hi all, I'm 47 years old, diagnosed celiac and gluten free for 8 mo now. For the past 8 weeks I have been experiancing extreme pain and stiffness in both knees. This pain developed with out any injury or trama to the knees. Both Primary and Orthopaedic doctors believe it's the begining stage of arthritis. X-rays show no indication of arthritis and MRIs...

I thought that maybe there was an explaination to what degree of damage I had incured, or various degrees of celiacs. By the 3rd day of being gluten free, I knew this was the cure I had been searching for most of my life. I'm glad to see that others agree with me that a second biopsy in 6 mo was in his best interest, not mine. Thanks!!

Prior to being gluten free, by the end of the day, my feet used to hurt and get this burning sensation. My lower back also used to be so stiff in the morning I had to roll out of bed because I could not sit up. Gluten free 2mo now.

My biopsy was 2 mo ago, I just now got around to doing the follow up. I've been both gluten and latoce free since the day after the biopsy. Doctor wants to do another biopsy to see a healed small intestine. I think he wants another $185 from me and what ever the insurance give him. I was hoping all that jipperish ment more than I have the celiac disease...

Went to the follow up visit today since my biopsy was done. Maybe an advanced member will understand it more than what I can make from it: Diagnosis: Features suggestive of celiac disease, Marsh Type IIIB. Microscopic description: The sections through the duodenal biopsy show fragments of ducdenal mucosa with marked villous atrophy. There is crypt...

This is going to sound bad, but its the truth. Before going gluten free, I drink daily, mostly beer, canadian whiskey, and vodka were my pleasures. 6-8 beers or 2-4 double shot drinks, or combination of both. I still drink daily, but now it's New Grist gluten free beer, hard ciders, rum, and corn vodka. (I don't care for tequila). I did drink some grain...

Purchased frozen pie crust Certified Gluten-Free with the CF logo inside a circle. Under the ingredients is the statment, contains: Tree Nuts. Facility also processes wheat, milk, eggs, soy, fish & peanuts. I'm concerned with the wheat. Is this not cross contamination? I'm puzzeled how it got its CF Certification. The company is Fabe's All Natural...

O+, Hispanic with 1/8 Irish, Brown hair with red and blond mixed in (and some white now). My mother was a natural red. Eyes are brown. Undocumented, but very likely some native american from my fathers side.

I did get a new toaster, to my surprise only $7 dollars, cheape at wal mart. I'll be sure and pick up a new colander, and replace everything else as needed. I have no wood items. Thanks!!

I did exactly that. My first colonoscopy 8 years ago was not a plesent experiance. I recently had my second, and told them that my 1st was very unplesent. They juiced me up good, no complaints. I'll be sure and mention it in 3yrs when I have it done again.

I'm 1/8 Irish, my grandfather was 1/2 Irish.

It's been a month since my diagnose as celiac, and just going gluten free has done the trick. Do I necessarily need to purchase new cookwear, dishes and other kitchen utensills? Are some of us celiacs more sensitive than others? I want to do everything necessary, but not go overboard? Help please!
