I have been gluten free for 1 year 7 months and 19 days. In all this time I have been glutened twice. The second time was last night. I decided to eat pulled pork at a restaurant without asking if it was gluten-free. I woke up at 2 AM and I felt like I had eaten 10 lbs. of pulled pork. Grrrrr. It turns out that the pulled pork is the only meat they serve...

Hi Lovelrning, I have Silent celiac. I have been gluten-free since 5/21/2012. To this day I have not had a gastro symptom. The few times I have been glutened I experienced pain in my feet and legs which I had frequently before going gluten-free. I know it's crazy! People with neurological problems also will have joint pain, headaches, fatigue, brain...

I never went through an endoscopy. My celiac panel was through the roof, so when I went to see the gastroenterologist he just ordered the DNA test. So, it is possible that you have had some healing over the past few months that would show a weak positive. I was fine with not having the endoscopy because I know I feel much better.

NVSMOM Can you tell us the brand of gluten-free mushroom soup? MOMMY2KRJ, Eating out and going to someone's house for a get together are the toughest, but can be managed.

I have been primal off and on for 1 year. Honestly I think it is the best way to be gluten free. I had lost 15 lbs. but put on 10lbs back. I need to eat less and exercise more.

Hi! I also thought I did not have any symptoms. All my symptoms are/were neurological. Leg pain, knee pain, and chronic dull headache. Any amount of gluten causes damage even if you don't have symptoms. There are 300 known symptoms of celiac disease. There are no levels of severity in Celiac Disease. There are several blogs about celiac that can...

DJS89, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 5/21/2012. I have to say I was on the verge of being seriously ill. All my symptoms were neurological. I could not stand in one spot for very long and I could not do without water for more that 30 minutes. My legs hurt, I kept getting dizzy, and I had a headache everyday although not very painful. I still...

Thanks for the replies. I think it is very funny to have these dreams. Every now and then I run across something that I'm like "OMG I can't have that anymore!" It has been surprising which things have made me the saddest. One of the big ones was sugar cones ;(. I thought it would have been chocolate cake. I know there are gluten-free options, but 1)...

Since being diagnosed I have had a few celiac dreams. In one dream there are some Church's biscuits and I pick one up and decide it won't hurt anything to have one. Half way through chewing the first bite I'm like "What am I doing!" and spit it out. Last night I dreamed got a handful of chex mix and popped it into my mouth. The I'm like "WTH!...

So' we went to a graduation party Saturday for the daughter of some friends. Before going to the party I had a salad just in case. Now, I don't keep my celiac disease a secret but people that don't deal with it everyday do not know how all consuming celiac disease is. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 5/09/2012 and then I was diagnosed with celiac disease...

Celiac Diva.com is pretty good.

eblue, it is tough. I was diagnosed 1 year ago. There is an app called "Is That Gluten Free?" It is expensive ($8.99), but I use it several times while grocery shopping. Eating out is difficult especially when meats are marinated with soy sauce. I check out restaurants online menus to see if they have gluten-free menus. Some examples are Chili's...

Hi! I need some make-up, so I went to the Bare Minerals website. Under FAQs there is a question which asks if their products contain wheat, barley, rye, or oats. In response they list all of the products that are gluten-free, but they state that it is possible these products are made on shared equipment . Have any of you had problems with Bare Minerals...

Argybargy, I would like to say that I thought I had no symptoms. Then I noticed the dull headaches disappeared, then the pain in my feet and legs went away. I have never had digestive problems. I can understand your concern about eating out, I think this is the hardest part. The best thing would be to do what Kareng says, but you will have to ask about...

Corey, It is my understanding that if the biopsy is not from the right location it will show up as negative. Ask your Mom to ask the Dr. to do a DNA test for celiac, this is much more accurate.
