    The Hashbrowns were. And they were delicious. Homestyle and fresh. Good old potatoes and cheddar (and a little butter not healthy but....neither is a bagel!) It did not have any kind of "crumbles" on top. Just more "au gratin" style cheddar crusting. But did not think about the bacon! Crapola! The kind I have been buying for home is from our organic/natural...

    Only week one for me....with another month or so of "figuring what's really going on with me". Have heard the most amazing diagnoses so far: "It's just your gallbladder you know?" "It's just your thyroid" "It's your hormones" "It's just stress" "It's fatty liver disease" "It's just because you stopped taking the pill" "It's just your...

    Thank you so much for this! This is a great help and good place for me to start. Felt overwhelmed at first by it all.

    I have been trying to make my own. And have scoured the internet for hours. It would really help to have a list I can laminate and bring with me to the grocery store, or keep in the car. That way if I need a snack or want to buy something new, I can scan the list and the ingredients on the product label. I know things can be cross contacted....but...

    This is my first week gluten-free and am experiencing similar. Though, I was having these same issues before and know it sometimes takes weeks for your GI system to catch up to the changes you have made. I will be traveling all week and plan to add in a natural/organic Psyllium Husk powder (going easy on it for the first few days to get used to it - then...

    My company buys us breakfast once a month for a meeting. Typically is something bread-based like bagels, muffins, biscuits. Today, I told them I would be bringing my own breakfast due to avoiding gluten. My gluten-free breakfast was way more fun - they had lousy wheat-ey bagels and I found an awesome little place nearby with a hot breakfast buffet...

    One other question.... Can OB/GYNs order celiac panels? I mean they can test your hormone levels via bloodwork, so if you had concerns about celiac and gluten, wouldn't they be able to have you tested? Because it can lead to things like infertility, migraines, etc. That a lot of women struggle with. I really love my OB/GYN's office and have been with...

    Congrats! I am in the same boat but only about to start my second week Gluten Free. On another thread, I have literally flopped back and forth about wanting a proper diagnosis or not. From a doctor who spent all of 5 minutes with me and brushed my concerns off as "IBS" and suggested I "eat some yogurt" - and buddy...I already eat yogurt everyday AND...

    My original bloodwork that prompted my primary to send me to the GI/Hepatic Specialist included thyroid levels and those were fine. :-/ The blood sample from home testing was going to be REALLY complicated. I decided since I don't have children yet, to go ahead and begin an elimination diet. This week I have avoided all gluten, and have restricted sugar...

    My chiropractor has agreed to sign. So maybe I will have a test confirm something...anything! Can't continue these awful headaches and feeling like I am constantly carrying around a gut bomb.

    Thanks so much Skylark and everyone! I found a lab through my insurance that allows me to mail in blood and stool samples. They have a celiac panel with all of the ones I've read here. (I think there were 5...possibly 6 different things listed) The only hang up now is that I do need a doctor's authorization OR you can pay more through MyMedLab.com...

    Thanks everyone so much for reading. I am like a lot of people....had not much of an idea what celiac truly involved. Until I began researching symptoms AND when I got my bloodwork back. I am CONVINVCED this is gluten related and plan to get to the bottom of this myself! Doctor or no doctor. To be fair, I really have tried to go the traditional...

    Food logging since last May. GI symptoms after eating breads, pasta, pizza, baked goods, BEER! 27 years old AST: 48 (H) ALT: 74 (H) Bilirubin: 1.8 (H) LDL: 271 (H) Total Chol: 355 (H) Hemoglobin: 15.6(H) Hematocrit: 46.2(H) Doctor reduced my insistence on wheat intolerance to simply "IBS and eat some probiotic yogurt". Which I had already told...

    Have been suspecting gluten issues based on more than a year and a half of logging my food. Never thought to log my SYMPTOMS along with my foods until about 3-4 months ago. Have had constipation, violent vomitting and even diarrhea after eating certain foods. 27 years old. Athletic (workout 6-10hours a week) Eat what all doctors recommend. About 1400-...
