    I just want to say that this thread makes me happy. Let's keep this going.

    Carla, Well put, my dear xoxo

    Both my sister and I were tested (gene) through enterolab this summer (2 years after my diagnosis through bloodwork). We both have the same Celiac gene (DQ8) and gluten sensitivity gene. The next step is to test my parents to see if one of them has both the celiac/gluten sensitive or if one has one/one has the other. I believe one of CarlaB's daughters...

    I have no idea if my food issues are allergies or intolerances, so that was my concern about the testing. i never bothered with the testing (besides the obvious Celiac 2 years ago), because I had heard about how the tests can be unreliable. Since I am pretty "in tune" with what was going on and knew/learned a lot about food, I just did the elimination method...

    I honestly don't know if anyone has officially studied people developing other intolerances. I have yet to read a journal article about it. BUT, that being said---like you noticed---there are a ton of people on this board who have multiple intolerances. Some all hit at once; some were fine just going gluten free --- and then something changed. That...

    not raining on your parade, but there as been a campaign on this board to write to her to get her to do a show....it has been going on for awhile now.....so far nothing. I sure hope she does one day!

    Deb, I am in a similar boat to you and I am so sorry. This one helped me--Open Original Shared Link (Ursula has it in her signature, also) I am in the process of being tested for a ton of stuff. If I figure anything out, I'll let you know. Have to run to church-PM me if you'd like. xoxo, Laura

    to add to the dairy conversation, a couple things: you might be what they refer to as "temporarily" lactose intolerant. Many new celiacs do not react well to lactose at first because of the damage in their intestines. The enzyme lactase (which helps digest the lactose) is found on the tips of our villi....so when our villi are damaged, the lactase is...

    Actually, Nisla, you have to go on my list for a BIG gold star. When I was still eating "other" foods, your cheese/pizza stick idea was a LIFESAVER. That was one of my favorite gluten free treats. Just the idea that I could really make anything was such a help to me.

    Nooner, I am so happy this board has helped you so much. It really is an amazing source of information, research, and comfort. Just think, soon YOU will be one of the oldies, answering everyone's questions. It really is a "pay it forward" board. We are all so grateful to be better, we just want to help everyone Laura

    azmom3, the more I read, the more shocked I am. I've said all along that there has to be some mechanism behind why all of a sudden, I cannot eat ANYTHING. Ive read about how it can be your esophagus, your stomach, your small intestine, and your colon. If this is it, its hard to say which one it might be....but I would rank the stomach/intestine at the...

    This is what I like to see. Positivity I told you I would post more Rachel-24, for the creation of Rachelville. I am a relative newbie to that thread, but for those who have post Celiac/undiagnosed issues, it is a haven for me to talk to others who are in the same boat. GFP-because I just always enjoy his posts and point of view. He always...

    mine is pretty simple and can be modified for whatever type of bread (white bread or corn bread) you like. Make a loaf of bread that you want to use (I did corn bread last year and it was heavenly). Bake it, let it cool. Slice it. Then cube it. Lay it out on a sheet to dry up. You can put it in the oven on low for awhile to speed up the process. ...

    its a survey on how wheat in stuff has affected us...not a "study" like a drug study... a study on how drugs might have wheat binders in them and how that affects celiac. they ask like 10 questions I hope this clarifies and doesn't scare others off.

    So, this is kind of in conjunction with Lisa's thread in "coping" about reminding us experienced Celiacs to keep answering the newbies' questions. Well, I think we should do something on here to recognize the "old" celiacs on this board who have been so wonderful and helpful. I know we are all on here to help, but I think it is important to recognize...

    Oh, Lisa, we know you are great when you are here. We will pick up the slack while you are gone.

    Welcome to the board. I will try to answer any that I can.

    Agreed-please make sure it is referred to as Celiac Disease or Celiac, but NOT Celiacs or Celiac's Disease. (I was a tech writer---I'm picky, too!) What age were you diagnosed with celiac/gluten intolerance? 23, believed was triggered at age 22 by a severe case of mono What were your most common symptoms? Severe D, abdominal cramping, weight...

    found this on the celiac disease foundation website today and thought it might be of interest for people on this site to participate: (it gives instructions and download info) It is another chance for our voices to be heard! Open Original Shared Link From the website: Dear Fellow Celiacs: Wheat and other starches are sometimes used as fillers...
