    Psawyer, Sorry I was not clear enough. I gave the brand of the person's coffee's as an example. There is gluten in Starbucks. Can I quote chapter and verse? no, but I found this out last year, I believe, when Starbucks announced they were was updating on of their drinks as gluten free. I think it was the bottled frappes. The article noted that not all...

    I have terrible GERD, but of course i also had my gallbladder removed before i was diagnosed as gluten intolerant. I do not think i would do the same now, but i can not change it now! For me, it has never improved. I am on several meds for acid reflux. To the person who mentioned coffee, what brand are you drinking? Have you thought of changing brands? Some...

    For myself, i am gluten and lactose intoletant. Also, i have to avoid msg like a rash due to migraines. I would think you are dealing with a cc issue or another food sensitivity. If i consume too much lactose, ahh bless, i might as well forget doing anything for the rest of the day. I get bloated, abdominal pain, the runs, gas, thats even with four lactaid...

    Do look for Gluten-Free treats for your Gluten-Free friend. Keep one or two things stocked at your place for them. Plan on dining somewhere that has a Gluten-Free menu if you eat out so your friend does not feel out of place. Do not ask so many questions that the person is the center of attention, unless they feel comfortable. If you can read Elizabeth...

    Invictus, thank you for you frankness. I think you honesty has touched several of us who are dealing with depression right now. I have had a right time of it since the spring. I decided to tell my friends on facebook the other day what was wrong with me. Some ignored, most were supprtive, but one was telling me how selfish i was. This was even though i explained...

    I testing negative for the blood test and the biopsy. However, i did test positive for gluten intolerance on a saliva test ( i know many traditional drs do not accept it). The point is that a soon as i went Gluten-Free in 2009, my stomach problems got under control. Furthermore, there are great Gluten-Free pasta and bread brands out there. I prefer Schar...

    Hi, i am new here. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2001 when i first got married. We immediately started infertility treatments. I was not diagnosed with gluten intolerance until 2009. So my gluten exsposure probably cancelled out the treatments. Ever since 2009, we have not done anything to prevent pregnancy. The PCOS continues for its own obstinate reasons...

    My parents and brother all have either diabetes or RA, but they still get flu shots. Do not ask me why. It seems like the craziest thing to me. They all get sick! I refuse to get a flu shot and have not had the flu since elementary school, knock on wood really hard;). Ya'll can keep your flu shots for all i am concerned.

    Mine was removed before i was diagnosed. It was functioning at 21%. I am not sure it was necessary to do as i am permanently on meds for GERD anyway. But i can not change it now.

    Friday i was accidentally cross contaminted. I have been sick ever since. Yesterday was the first day i was back on real food. Over the weekend, i "enjoyed" soup, water, and gatorade. The shortest amount of time i have been sick was 24 hrs and the longest was a week. So good luck! I feel your pain literally!

    I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in 2009 and immediately went Gluten-Free. Looking back, i most likely had this problem all my life, but the damage was already done. At 13 i was extremely depressed. I now realize that gluten affects teens in a particularlly harsh way. However, all the research i have done says that you should recover after going Gluten...
