    interesting post. i've been taking digestive enzymes for probably 15 years - and when i discovered them, i started being able to eat a lot of foods that i couldn't eat before. for whatever reason, the one type of food i didn't need to take them with was gluten-containing foods. so i never took them with a bagel, doughnut, basic sandwich, french bread, that...

    I wonder if digestive enzymes would help you. i've been taking one with my meals for probably 15 years - and they are what allow me to eat without an upset stomach 90+% of the time. The gluten-free one that is mentioned in Newbie 101 (linked above,) is called Digestive - there is "Digestive Basic", "Digestive," and "Digestive Gold," each one progressively...

    just want to give you a little sympathy! i am newly diagnosed as well, but doing pretty well. i would encourage you to take enzymes to help you through this. diarrhea depletes the good bacteria in your gut and anyone can have trouble after that. i've been taking 2 lactase enzymes once a day (Schiff, Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense Formula, which is...

    i have rosacea as well. the best thing i've found is to avoid the foods that trigger it - for me, citric acid (ingested or topical) is the primary thing. i completely avoid that. peppers, paprika, smokehouse flavoring (like smokehouse almoonds), poppyseeds - all of those trigger it for me. because i'm new to the gluten-intolerant idea, i don't really...

    we have a local nurse who is a celiac - she left her position as an emergency room doc and started a job educating people about gluten and helping people get through it. she speaks internationally on the topic, so i think she really knows her stuff. i went to her talk last week and have talked to her on the phone. she says that the antibody that a body...

    i'm even newer at the gluten-free thing, but far too much experience with stomach issues for me, my mom and my children. i take digestive enzymes and they are worth their weight in gold to me. I saw in the Newbie Info 101 post at the top of this forum that Digestive Gold enzymes are gluten-free. just bought them this morning. but i've been using digestive...

    hi paul, thanks for your reply. the blood tests were taken yesterday, and i didn't start gluten-free til after they were done. thanks for the link - i found the newbie 101 post last night after i'd posted, but couldn't edit my post because i'm new and it had to be approved before it posted. i saw the info in there about Digestive Gold enzymes. turns...

    My blood test for the celiac genes and the antibodies got sent off to Prometheus Labs today, but i feel pretty certain i already know i have it. i think i've had it basically my whole life, and i turn 54 this week. my 20yr old daughter has had increasing stomach problems for the past 2 years, since she went to college. she's been allergy tested and reacted...

    This morning i registered on Medscape and looked for articles related to celiac disease. I wonder if the AST Enzyme is somehow related to this article, dated 4/3/2012. There's quite a bit more to the article which was called "Coeliac Disease: New Approaches to Therapy." anyone can register there if you're interested in reading more. Open Original Shared...
