It could be xantham gum, as one of the other commenter suggested. One year of being gluten free, and only now am I noticing a problem with xantham gum. I noticed it after baking a batch of chocolate brownies, and again when I cooked up a gluten free cake. My stomach was unsettled and I had pain in my lower intestines for a week after that. Or it could...

Reywuwei, I saw an echo of my own thoughts in your post, so thank you for putting your thoughts into words so succinctly! Small wonder you're a writer! I'm new to posting here as well, though I've had my diagnosis since last summer. So nearly a year now. The shock of having this little shadow called celiac trailing you, and knowing that it will for the...

Prior to getting diagnosed with celiac or even understanding what it was, I had an infetion where I was prescribed two rounds of a really strong antibiotic. All told, I was on this stuff for nearly 30 days, per the doctor's orders, it did work to get rid of my infection, but I quickly realized I had a secondary problem. Halfway through the second round of...

Michelle, thank you for your post because seriously, this is my life right now. I've been diagnosed celiac for 11 months now. 9 of those eleven months I maintained my weight perfectly fine--although I should say I think I was eating more than my usual amount. I was severely anemic before diagnosis and probably really malnourished and so when I first was diagnosed...

I've been diagnosed celiac (via blood work and endoscopy) for a year now and I still have metaphorical panic attacks when it comes to eating at parties, be it with family or friends. The worst part is when you're around people you've never met and you have to explain why you're not eating x,y,z plus the other half of the alphabet. Not only do I worry about...

Hi everyone! I'm brand new here, but not quite new to celiac. I was diagnosed by blood test and endoscopy nearly a year ago (last summer). I'm super super strict with the diet too, I check everything that comes near me, from lipstick to toothpaste. Here's my question: when I woke up from my first endoscopy one year ago, my gastroentrologist said one year...

I'm new here at this board so I'm not sure if, as a 20-something, I still count as a 'young adult [???]'. But anyway, here's my answer: I was getting sores inside my mouth ALL the time before I was diagnose with celiac (by blood test and endoscopy). That went away about a month after I started going gluten free. As for doctors: My regular doctor is awesome...
