    Thanks all- I still eat dairy - almost daily - yogurt, cheese - since I am also dealing with osteoporosis. I will try to be a bit more aware when this bloat happens. I know it's usually after a meal - even if the meal is primarily salads or fruit.

    I have been gluten free for two months. I was relatively asymptomatic prior to my diagnosis - it was a bone density specialist who suspected and had me tested for Celiac. I can't say that I feel any differently after two months- but again I didn't feel poorly before going gluten free. However - I do notice after most meals I feel quite bloated. Is this typical...

    I went to Five Guys and ordered a bun-less burger (I brought my own). I asked them to keep the burger away from their buns. When my order was being prepared - all the workers on the line automatically put on new gloves. Another plus for Five Guys is that they have a small menu- so I had no worries about their fries - there was nothing to cc them with.

    Before I was diagnosed, I kept getting blisters on my lips. I thought that maybe the sun was having some weird effect. Once I was diagnosed, I realized that my lipstick was probably the culprit. I threw away all of my lipstick - but am still bothered with dry and sometimes blistering lips. I'm coming up on 2 months gluten free. Since I had no "classic" symptoms...

    I went for Thai food for the first time since diagnosis. They cooked my meal with fish sauce which is gluten free.

    This is also my first Thanksgiving gluten free. Any idea how to make green bean casserole. Cream of mushroom soup seems hard to come by, and french fried onion rings are out.

    I guess what I am asking is more about internally. I realize that we all have different reactions - from none - in my case - to severe. What I'm wondering is - do we all have different degrees of internal damage? Does one person get inflamed by a speck of gluten, while it may take another person a slice of bread to get the same amount of inflammation?

    I have been gluten free for about 6 weeks now. I never had typical symptoms prior to going gluten free - except for osteoporosis and weight loss ( about 10 pounds in the past year). I eat out about 2 -3 times a week - and have been careful to explain to the servers that I am on a gluten free diet. I have never felt sick after eating out ( but I didn't feel...

    I went to Gracies 5 in Redmond, WA last night. The entire menu was gluten free - and many items were dairy free as well, The food was delicious - for the two of us who are gluten free as well as for the two people in our group who are not gluten free. What a pleasure being able to order anything I wanted!

    We had a guest come to town - and wanted to take him to a classic Seattle restaurant. I'm newly diagnosed with celiac, so I explained to the server my dietary restrictions - and he came back with an already printed fairly extensive gluten free menu!

    I have had the same experience. What led me to being diagnosed was osteoporosis. I was shocked when I tested positive since I have never felt ill by eating gluten. It makes me a bit nervous - I feel that I am a very poor "barometer" - never knowing if I am accidentally eating gluten. I have just reached my 4 week mark. I am anxious to be tested again after...

    ARCHIVED Doctors With Conflicting Advice

    Thank you - your response is very helpful. Although I am not happy with all the doctors' conflicting advice - it is somewhat nice to know that I am not alone.

    Thank you so much for such a helpful response. I - surprisingly - have no typical symptoms of celiac. I wound up getting diagnosed due to worsening osteoporosis. So, because I never felt ill from eating gluten - I feel that I am a very poor "barometer" in knowing when gluten may be in a product. I keep saying " the good news is that I never had symptoms,...

    I'm big fan of Trader Joes. I'm very newly diagnosed - just 3 weeks. I nearly had a melt down during my first trip to Trader Joes, seeing many of my favorite products that I can no longer enjoy. However, I printed out their gluten free list and was surprised to see that some of the products that they list as gluten free - and have a "g" on the labeling, also...

    ARCHIVED Doctors With Conflicting Advice

    TGK112 posted a topic in Doctors

    Here's my story: As a 56 year old I've been losing bone density over the last couple of years despite taking calcium, vitamin D, and Fosamax. I went to a bone specialist who ordered up some tests to see if anything else may be contributing to the osteoporosis. My levels for gluten antibodies came back very high. I had no symptoms besides the bone density...
