Hi, Everyone who so kindly responded... I'm so sorry I haven't replied in so long - I think I just kinda zoned out. Sometimes I just get SO tired of fighting all these illnesses, treatments, researching, different meds, etc., and I just burn out and want to "hide out" a while... For an update... After this negative test, I did have a saliva test for...

Okay, I will give it another try(!) - I honestly don't remember which recipe I ended up going with because I watched SO many videos on it... This time I WILL stick with that one, though

Hi, Adalaide! I did order the PAN meal and tried making these arepas - even after watching many videos on how to do it properly, for some reason mine came out extremely DRY and TASTELESS! Any idea what I might have done wrong?!! I had such high hopes for this because it sounds so awesome - and my hubby LOVES "corn bread" - so I thought this might be...

Hi, Everyone... Just got my lab results today for the Celiac Panel and everything is pointing towards "negative" according to my doctor. However, she IS very "alternative" (she's a Naturopath) and has suggested we do the genetic tests next and that even if it's not "true celiac" that removing wheat is probably a good idea. She seems to be more of a...

Hi, everyone...! Just getting started here and am finding many of my usual sandwich products are gluten-free - but what is out there we can put them on (or between) instead of bread?! I'm assuming the corn tortillas would be ok, but are there other options? Thanks so much! Jacki

Would Walmart carry the Snyder's pretzels?

Wow, thanks so much for the responses!! I didn't even realize they had gluten-free pretzels (just getting started with this)! Guess I need to keep reading. I've been reading non-stop since Sunday when this first came to my attention that it might be my problem for so long, but boy do I have a lot to learn!

I'm just starting a gluten-free diet and realized I need to find a good substitute for the pretzels I use when I get hit with nausea. This usually only happens in the mornings after I take my meds that have to be on an empty stomach - I get hit with a wave of nausea and if I don't eat a few pretzels and sip some Coke or Sprite, I will throw up. I think...

Yes, I only found out yesterday that I may be dealing with gluten problems, so I haven't made any changes yet. Bread is my middle name Just wondered if eating gluten right before going for the test would help trigger the antibodies to avoid a false negative...?

I'm getting my labs done tomorrow! Just wondering if it would be a good idea to eat something with gluten right before going for the test? If so, what would be a good example?

Thanks for the replies... I'm going to call my dr tomorrow and ask her to add the full celiac panel to my labs I'm about to have done. Will this be enough info to get the right tests or do I need to ask for more specific ones?

Hi, everyone... I just found your forums (and site) today when doing a search on "shortness of breath after eating" to see what came up. Brief summary of my situation... I'm now 52 years old and have been sick to the point of being disabled since Nov. 1989. My first symptoms were dizziness and severe fatigue and weakness. It got so bad that for 6 years...
