    Blood tests are known to be sometimes inconclusive or incorrect. Biopsies will support the case. The true test would be how he feels if he is gluten-free. Going gluten-free after a negative diagnosis sure can't hurt, especially if you only try it for a short time (weeks/months). I felt changes after only 2 days and my life was changed. You may get different...

    I've been lactose intolerant since birth. If lactose is the problem, have you tried switching him to Lactaid? I'm not a fan of white milk but to me, Lactaid tastes nearly identical. I use it daily now that I have celiac in order to start the healing. Is he lactose intolerant or can he process smaller amounts of lactose? It really depends on the condition...

    Some of the dangers you will find will be in products like soy sauce, teriyaki, worchestershire, chicken and beef broth and other additive products. Archer Daniels Midland is a giant company that makes tons of food additives (citric acid, xantham gum, etc) and you'll need to learn which of those products are derived from wheat, barley or rye. Plus watch for...

    Hi Mindwarp, I too self diagnosed. I wish I had not, but I was too impatient to get all the testing done because my pain had me searching for an answer. I have a sister, an RN who also has fibromyalgia and has a lot of experience with food allergies, autoimmune diseases and her own circumstances. I first reached out to her because many things I was feeling...

    To be honest, I just avoid oats. It strikes a few more foods from the menu, but yours is not the first post I've seen about supposedly gluten-free oats. Could they be grown in a field that also grows wheat in opposite seasons? Something absorbed through the soil? I have no idea, but oats are always discussed cautiously in regards to celiac so I don't risk...

    I'm 6 weeks into being gluten-free. More energy? Absolutely Lose weight? 11 lbs so far and not trying besides just eating healthier and stopped consuming so much sugar via sweet tea and coffee. Mostly drinking water and I treat myself to 1 cup of coffee each morning, chocolate milk (lactaid) once per evening and orange juice whenever I want some...

    Although new to celiac for the last 6 weeks, I was not eating in the beginning. I couldn't find things to satisfy me so I ended up, without consciously doing it, eating far less than I should. I quickly turned that around by something I read online. It described the condition of fearing food and equating food to fuel. Without that fuel we'll worsen our condition...

    I'm new to celiac, but it sounds to me as if lumping certain groups into the theory makes the theory more plausible. The problem is that there are groups of people who must live that way and then there is everyone else. We have no choice but be selective about every single situation we put ourselves into. How long will we be there? Can I go that long without...

    If you mix sugar and cinnamon it may be even better. That's the same toppings you'd put on a snickerdoodle cookie and with the muffin/cupcake below, may be great.

    I'm newly diagnosed and had my first glutening a few days ago. Awful pain. My wife and I joke about gluten and she'll tease me when getting a bowl of Cheerios saying, "I'm having gluten-o's for breakfast." Yesterday we were talking about "gluten donuts" and last night I dreamed I was eating donuts, then freaked out in the dream after realizing what they were...

    I really can feel your pain and as I read your post I couldn't help but think of how much your situation mirrored mine, particularly your symptoms. It started to be noticeable with the pain and bloating, feeling like I couldn't possibly stretch internally any further. From the outside I looked normal, but my insides were telling me otherwise. The stool issue...

    I'll just answer based on my situation and my current experience with celiacs. I've been gluten free 6 weeks now and glutened once, just 3 days ago. 1. Some people have no symptoms they can feel at all so I would imagine you could have none, one or any combination of symptoms if you have celiac. I have read many people's accounts and they widely vary. Most...

    I have only been gluten-free for about 6 weeks now and for the last 5.5 I felt wonderful, better than in years. Sunday my wife and I were talking and I mentioned I was starting to not feel well. By Monday I was in pain and many of my previous symptoms returned, including bloat, intestinal pain, headache, sinus running. Tuesday was more of the same and a bit...

    Although I'm late to this topic, I'm posting in case others search for this info. I went to my local BK in Maryland and asked about the fries. At our location they are fried in a dedicated fryer (2 of them just for fries) and there is another fryer just for nuggets, onion rings, etc. Nothing else shares the fryer with the fries so, at least locally, the only...
