    Welcome to the forum. I am new here as well. I am not sure if this helps but you could call your doctor and say that you have symptoms of Celiac or Gluten Intolerance and see if they will run the blood test before you come to the office. You need the full Celiac panel. I had trouble getting for my daughter because she is gene negative for Celiac (you don...

    Zofran is what they gave you for nausea and vomiting. I had IVs full of it during my pregnancies. It is fab.

    My neighbor sat next to a woman at Sammy's Woodfried Pizza. She ordered gluten free and he said "my neighbor has Celiac, do you?". She said yes, I suffered for almost 60 years and NOW they diagnose me at the age of 70. She was so angry and bitter that she suffered her entire life and doctor after doctor told her it was all in her head. She said she feels...

    I like www.glutenfreeonashoestring.com My daughter is gluten-free at 12 and so she misses a lot of the baked goods that this blogger makes.

    I would get a copy of The Gluten-Free Girl book. She has a fantastic relationship with food. I think you will really enjoy the book. It is wonderful and makes me so hungry for some really good quality food and she has the recipes so you actually can. She talks about her relationship with food prior to being dxd with celiac disease and what it is like now...

    I have a few question - but they all stem from this. WHY, if celiac disease is the cause of many unexplained infertility cases, did my supposed almighty fertility doctor not think to test me for this? I have asked myself this time and time again. However, I do have one thought though: If 20% of infertility can be attributed to gluten intolerance, they...

    Unreal My hubs is slowly coming around. He has 3 siblings. He and 2 siblings have severe GERD. They all take PPIs. One of them was diagnosed as gluten sensitive and her GERD has all but disappeared now that she is mostly gluten-free. Their dad died of esophageal cancer, had chronic heartburn and drinking a beer had him running to the bathroom....

    Hi, this brings back some horrible memories and I want you to know that you are not alone. I hope I can help. You had a early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy or blighted ovum). The positive pregnancy tests means you were pregnant. That is why you felt those symptoms. Because you were newly pregnant, you won't see a sac most likely. The only time I saw...

    Hey this is so cool!

    I am at work and supposed to be working but I love soups and this is a favorite so I had to post. Chicken Tortilla Soup with Lime Open Original Shared Link I do make some changes though: I don't use water, I use all gluten-free chicken broth (I use Better Than Bouillon cuz it is so good) in place of chicken broth and water I saute the onions, garlic...

    Is your hubs gluten-free?
  12. researchmomma
    Good to know. As soon as I hear back from HR, I will decide if I a going to wait for the LabCorp coverage. This is for me. My Mom, Sister and I are all very curious. My sister has been plague with IBS and Endometriosis all her life and is scheduled to see the GI in Feb. I told her to get screened for Celiac based on my grandmother's history. It will...

    Yes, and it isn't "reflexive" They run them all so you can look at the results as one whereas Quest only runs the tTg IgG if the total IgA is too low. Thanks for helping me walk through this. I would love to have my daughter get a labcorp test while eating gluten. Just to see.
  14. researchmomma
    Thanks Sylvia, your edit is my dilemma. I have asked HR to let me know. If they say weeks, I won't make it.
  15. researchmomma
    My insurance now covers Quest and the lab tech said it isn't as good as the LabCorp test. My new insurance will cover LabCorp. Should I wait until I have LabCorp coverage?
  16. researchmomma
    Beebs who told you that you didn't have the genes and how did you find out you did? Thanks!
  17. researchmomma
    Thanks Nora. They ran a ttg IgG because the IgA total was well below normal. The doc said that since the ttg IgG was normal she didn't have Celiac. They did a gene test, she doesn't carrry either DQ2 or 8. I am doing the enterolab regardless at this point. However, my daughter is really stuck on getting the endoscopy since the endocrinologist mentioned...

    Let me add something that is very helpful that one of the moderators here suggested. Make a list of your kid's medical issues (physical and emotional) and cross them off as they disappear on a GFD. We did and my husband (who is a skeptic) was really shocked by what went away after just two weeks and what came back on a glutenous diet.
  19. researchmomma
    I have a 12 yo who we are trying to get a diagnosis for. Doctors are very frustrating. However, we are going gluten free regardless as soon as the last test is ordered. We did a gluten free trial of two weeks and about 7 days in, I had a very sweet 12 year old who stopped fighting with her brother, listened to reason, did her chores without complaint and...

    I am so sorry. It is horribly painful. Please take care of you.

    Oh and Crunchmaster! Those are are really good. I found them at my regular store. Here is the link for them so you can see what they look like. Open Original Shared Link Hope posting these links is ok. If not, please let me know IH. Have a good day.

    I found recipes for three different crackers on www.glutenfreeonashoestring.com They look good but I haven't made them yet. There is a ritz type, saltine and a cheese. I was thinking I would make them this weekend. Anyone made them yet?
  23. researchmomma
    That is interesting and is from the year 2000. You would think they would be a bit more open minded, eh? Nora on another thread you mentioned if someone had low IgA that the testing from Enterolab for sensitivity wouldn't be useful since it is based on IgA. This makes sound sense. However, I have a question regarding food intake and total IgA levels....
  24. researchmomma
    It is good eh? I should have figured that you had that one. My friend also makes it with a can of chili on top but then you need to bake it or the beans explode in the microwave.

    Since you mentioned Super Bowl here is my fav and it is so easy: 2 bricks of cream cheese 1-2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 cup of salsa Spread cream cheese on bottom of shallow bowl or serving dish (has to have a lip) spoon salsa over cream cheese cover with cheddar cheese Microwave until cheese is melted. Serve with...
