yes, there is a reason I chose this particular doctor and there is a reason he was so difficult to get into. When the office offered for my husband to see another physician in the practice I refused, I said I would wait as long as it takes to get him in with this particular physician because I knew him from work and am a patient of his as well. I talk to...

UPDATE: Followed up with the GI doc today. All of my husbands labwork is completely normal. The whole panel. He said he does not have celiac. He does however think he is sensitive to gluten given his positive response to a gluten free diet. Our doctor actually reccomended we read "wheat belly" and said that there is a theory that the protein in wheat causes...

yes but it will be easier to convince my stubborn, hard headed husband to stick to a gluten free diet for life if he has proof that it's causing his problem. He is not 100% convinced it was the gluten that made him sick. He says "it could've been anything, I ate a lot of stuff". Men....

Thank you! The sad part is, I finally got the doc to order the whole celiac panel including genetic testing, so since we have been gluten free for two weeks hubby and I decided he should eat some gluten this week before his blood test so he ate thanksgiving at his parents house and is ridiculously sick today. I hope that's enough to make the tests accurate...

ok, this may sound like a stupid question, but do I need to be concerned about any canned tomato sauces, tomato paste, and diced tomato? I am making chili tomorrow and I bought a brand of tomato sauce that says "gluten free", however many of the other sauces list their ingredients (tomatoes, water, spices, etc) and do not seem to have any contaminants. I...

I just made our first gluten free thanksgiving. I baked one loaf of the gluten free pantry's white bread and a loaf of bob's red mill "wonderful" bread. I also made a gluten free cornbread using bob's red mill gluten free cornmeal. All of these I dried, crumbled, and toasted in the oven. After adding lots of sauted onion and celery with olive oil, turkey...

Heard from the GI doc today, The lady on the phone said they will do a celiac panel which includes genetics testing and iron, she said the other vitamin tests I would have to get done from a primary care physician. So I am very excited about that, I would think the genetic testing would be more definitive? Do you have to be eating gluten for the genetic...

The heinz ketchup and hellman's reduced fat mayo I bought wasn't any more expensive than half the stuff on the shelf. The store brands were a tad bit cheaper, however they had more additives on the label. I also bought the ketchup with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. I try to buy food with the least amount of ingredients on the label, and yes sometimes...

Thanks

my bottles of hellman's were labled with the gluten-free green sticker in publix, the only mayo that had that label, and they say "gluten free" on the bottle, again the only mayo I could find that said gluten free.

Have you tried mirilax? One capful twice daily in any drink you prefer. Sometimes it takes a day or two to work, but once it does, it gets you going. Also try citrate of magnesium and dulcolax suppository.

Where is the user control panel to moniter subscribed topics???

Open Original Shared Link I bought a box of these lentil crackers at publix and we loved them. But the box was 4.99. On amazon with my prime (free shipping) it comes to 2.99 a box! Thought I would share.

I just want to share with you what my husband and I have gone through the last few weeks as well. My husband, God bless him, can be the most stubborn, negative, pessimistic person ever, and so resistant to change! If HE can do this, I have faith that ANYBODY can. My husband also went in for a colonsocopy/endoscopy, him being 260lbs at 6', who would've...

Just an update. Today he ingested wheat on accident. He ordered some naked wings while working and forgot to ask about tje sauce till after he ordered. It had wheat as an ingredient but he chose to eat It anyway. His stomach is in bad shape.now, gas, pain, and loose stool, which he told me is tan in color. I am trying to gain as much info as possible...
