The doctors note is certainly what I would like but I don't have a doctor at this time, no insurance, and no past history of working with a doctor on this. Thats kind of why I feel like I'm in a pickle. I genuinely wouldn't mind serving, I'm quite politically active and a rather civic fellow. I don't take trips or vacations or anything like that at the...

So a year or two years ago life was miserable and had been getting worse, I didn't know what was wrong with me. One day I read about celiac disease and decided to stop eating gluten on a whim and boom, instantly 85% better. The terrible cramps and sitting on the toilet wondering if the hospital could do anything to help days were over. I never bothered...

I see tater tots on the list of ok stuff, can anyone confirm that? I can't find an ingedient list online for any of their foods and am used to things like tater tots having a wheat coating for crispyness.

Hey thats also my public transit and driving in gridlock rule The odd thing is there are some routines I'm comfortable with, like my long commute to work. Other times I make myself sick with worry waiting for a haircut. I'm pretty calm about the whole thing, its just midly frustrating, and I think its holding back my career and social life...

So for years I was an undiagnosed celiac, essentially I'd have unpredictable diarrhea and eventually it got to the point where I'd have it very shortly after a meal. Needless to say this made me hesitant to go out much and fairly antisocial. I've been mostly gluten free for over a year now and aside from a few accidental glutenings I've done pretty good...

Has anyone tried Busch's new gluten free beer called redbridge? I was a major beer nut before I went gluten freen and I've really been missing hops. I was pretty into good beers and it certainly doesn't compare to them, but its very drinkable for gluten free food and the beer deprived. Since I found this beer a few weeks ago I've had 18-24 bottles probably...

Wow I'm completely shocked people would take their side on this. I'm in a furious rage right now. I've been working hard to change whats been a life crippling disease. I did my research and figured I was safe to eat their fries. Now I find their negligence in labeling their products might well be responsible for the problems I continue to have? I'm...

Thanks Lee for the message and everyone else! As an update I've been pretty much gluten free since I posted, and pretty much better. A few times I've slipped off the wagon and paid the price. I was having a bad day and ordered a pizza from my favorite local pizza shop (until this I'd get one every friday, my favorite thing). There was a violent revolution...

So from my reading it seems like celiac might start to show symptoms at any age, there is no one common age range where it appears. Do most people start with symptoms here and there of increasing severity over a couple years, or is it like a one week and your life is different thing for most?

I think I will be trying it. Something that I realized too is this is the same time span I discovered good beer and have progessed to making beer myself. I never drank in large volume but a glass a day or so wasn't uncommon (needless to say I havent been doing that lately). If it can get worse with cumulative exposure perhaps that is what is responsibe...

Hey, I have some questions and thought I’d see if anyone here thought my story sounded familiar. Some background information I’m 24 male Caucasian 6’3” and overweight at about 280 (why can’t I have the weightloss symptoms heh). About 4 years ago or so in college I started having trouble that some times after eating out with my girlfriend I’d wind up get...
