    I have known I can't eat gluten for many years but started having daily diarrhea, sometimes severe for the last many weeks (actually months). The fecal leukocytes indicate inflammation, so it could be IBD or microscopic colitis. A person with celiac is more likely to also get microscopic colitis. It seems unlikely eliminating smoked almonds calmed down...

    I have severe reactions to more than crumbs of gluten. 1 slice of bread causes me to have vomiting and diarrhea that lasts hours. The gluten I've eliminated is the smoke flavoring on smoked almonds and lunchmeat. With that gone, the diarrhea is gone, but not loose stools. I can't eat 2 slices of bread everyday without being really sick and unable to function...

    I am 63 years old. I have had watery diarrhea for weeks. The first step at the doctor's office was a fecal test which showed no blood, but elevated WBC. I'm scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy, but can't get in until Sept 7. I also have a HIDA scan for gall bladder tomorrow. My mother was diagnosed with Celiac, so I suspect that is what I have...

    He did explain the difference between Celiac and gluten sensitivity. I guess in my mind I didn't think that gluten sensitivity would cause such an "explosive" reaction today when I used to eat gluten by the basket-full without getting diarrhea. My Mom did have totally flattened villi and since I inherited all her other characteristics, maybe this too. ...

    I went to see a gastroenterologist for heartburn and gave my history as having Celiac. I explained my Mom has it, my sister has it and I self-diagnosed after having constipation my whole life. He told me that I don't have celiac but if it makes me feel better to not eat gluten, then OK. He meant mentally feel better. I have been totally gluten free for...

    I should read more carefully! I thought I read Cheerios, not Cheetos!

    I bought Bard's gluten-free beer at HyVee in Omaha, Nebraska. Looks like it is making its way across the country!

    Hi, I'm new and I've been gluten-free for a whole 4 days! I'm a type II diabetic and for the last 2 days my blood sugar is totally, completely normal. I have eaten lots of non-gluten carbs, fruit, and beans and my BS is normal. If I would have eaten that much food before gluten-free, my BS would have been quite high. I can't believe it! My body knew...
