So I had a blood test last week for Celiac Disease. I just heard back from my doctor. It was negative. I was eating gluten free for about a month up until about 2 weeks before the test. Then I started stuffing myself with gluten again. I know they say you need to be eating gluten for 4 weeks or your test could come out negative. But I thought if I ate as...

Before I went gluten free almost everytime I would eat my face and chest would get really flushed. I have always wondered if it was an intolerance to MSG. It would happen especially after eating a lot of finger foods or fast food. Which was pretty much every day. Now I am eating mainly veggies, fruit, rice, beans. I notice it doesn't happen as much.

How do you avoid eating MSG. It is everywhere? I would love to eliminate as much MSG from my diet as I can. What foods do you eat?

I thought that the chili I was eating was gluten free. Turns out it was not. Today I have a horrible headache, my face hurts, I am extremely tired and my chest has a flutter/tickle in it. Are these normal symptoms of being glutened?

Thanks everyone! Like I said I have horrible anxiety. And I do mean horrible. My mother in law works at Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer center in Nashville. We had a family get together on Sunday night. My husband's grandmother had noticed how much weight I had lost. My mother in law then goes on to freak out and tell me that wasn't good and that is the first sign...

I am going on a month Gluten Free now. I have lost about 15 pounds this month. I am overweight so 15 pounds isn't uncommon when I have gone on diets in the past. But I know this is not a diet. It is a way of life now. I was just wondering if it is common to lose some weight. Plus I have bad anxiety so I haven't been eating a lot anyways. I am hoping the anxiety...

I am on day six of gluten-free. Although yesterday I am pretty sure I had some gluten in the meal my mother-in-law made me. I have tried going online to different websites to find what has gluten and what doesn't. Everything is so conflicting. So pretty much my diet for 6 days, with the exception of yesterday, has been rice (plain), chex cereal (dry), lettuce...

I have seen a lot of posts about different vitamins you should be taking when you go gluten free. Right now I take a multi vitamin, a probiotic and flax seed oil capsules. Is there anything else that is important for people on a gluten free diet to take? I am new at this. I am on my 6th day of gluten free.

Just talked to Sandoz and found out the Promethazine is gluten free. Now just waiting to hear back from Kremers about the Omeprazole.

There are 4 drugs that I take daily. One is Sertraline manufactured by Greenstone. I found they are gluten free on the gluten free list. Also Clonazepam manufactured by Mylan I found on the list as gluten free. I also take Omeprazole manufactured by Kremers. I have tried calling and emaling them with no response. Does anyone know if it is gluten free? I also...

This is my second day gluten-free. I was wondering if there is such a thing as gluten withdrawal. Yesterday I was fine. Today I have been extrememly tired and lightheaded. And I have a slight headache. Anyone ever expierance that?
