ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed
GF Lover replied to Mac0030's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Just a thought. Endoscopies are usually not routine. Why did you have one? Were you having some kind of issue? Even heartburn can be a symptom. Colleen -

Kelly, you are the first person I've come across here from my home town (or close) I grew up in St. Paul. I usually get back up around Brainard every couple years to our Family Cabin. I am going to write down Wildfire so we can stop on our drive from Ohio. Thanks Colleen -

ARCHIVED Breton
GF Lover replied to Adalaide's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
OMG! I absolutely loved Breton Crackers. I will wait impatiently for my store to stock them. Maybe I'll put a bug in their ear, we had words about peanut butter earlier this year so they will want to shut me up quickly Colleen -

ARCHIVED Is There Gluten In Hordenine?
GF Lover replied to lovetapioca's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Here is a good reference to look at. I think in the end, if you react to it stop, if no problems then the concentration has been sufficiently reduced by natural processes. In studies it is not connected to Celiac Disease. Open Original Shared Link Colleen -

GF Lover replied to Waitingindreams's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications

ARCHIVED How Long Until I Feel Better?
GF Lover replied to Rach7982's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Another reason to be tested now is your children. If you have Celiac Disease in your family then your children may be affected also. There is a genetic component to Celiac. If you test negative than you might need other testing to find out if you have a different health issue to address. Healing from Celiac Disease can take up to a year for all issues... -

ARCHIVED Mood Swings After Diagnosis?
GF Lover replied to lisalamitie's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have seen parents report that a gluten free diet has helped to stabilize mood and improve behavior problems. There is on-going research in the areas of Autism, ADD/ADHD and general mental health issues. It may be a 7 yr old thing or it could be a cc issues or both. Tighten up the diet at home and school. School would be a prime candidate for cc issues... -
ARCHIVED No Wheat Allergy - Celiac Possible?
GF Lover replied to kellysensei's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes. Celiac is an autoimmune disease and separate from an allergy. It is possible to have both but an allergy and autoimmune diseases are completely different. An allergen triggers the non-specific "Innate" system and an autoimmune disease triggers the "adaptive" system which will go after more specific targets. The innate system will trigger the adapt... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerance Linked To Gmos
GF Lover replied to kenlove's topic in Publications & Publicity
I still don't understand how this study links Celiac Disease/Intolerance to wheat, barley and rye gmo's when they were not even a part of this study. Gluten, in its classic sense is what causes Celiac Disease. Not gluten in corn, soy etc. I can only conclude that this study is completely misleading and only promotes Tom O'Bryan's agenda. Am I wrong here... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerance Linked To Gmos
GF Lover replied to kenlove's topic in Publications & Publicity
I don't quite understand. Since wheat, barley and rye are not GMO's what is the connection in this study saying that GMO gluten triggers or exacerbates Celiac Disease? Colleen -
ARCHIVED How To Overcome The "wants" + Anxiety
GF Lover replied to bburmeister0407's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Think of it this way. These foods you are dying for are actually foods you are slowly dying FROM. You are diagnosed Celiac and you damage your body every time you eat gluten. Many people have noted that some of their mental health issues lessened or completely resolved. Colleen
