Thanks for all the ideas bartfull, but, yep separate toaster, toaster oven, cutting boards, condiments. But hadn't looked in the silverware drawer, that's quite a good idea, and yes, did find a few crumbs of something in there, so bang it's cleaned out now. I have the worst feeling that as long as this goes on and my gut does not seem to be healing the...

My only problem is that I need to walk, feed and play with at least 25 dogs a day. Feeding twice and walking twice a day, washing my hands after each feeding is not really feasible, my hands are already shot from being wet so much as it is.

I have run a boarding kennel for dogs for the past 25 years. I was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 years ago. To the best of my ability, have been following all the guidelines from my doctor and nutritionist, and of course reading incessantly blogs such as this. I have a question though, since I am constantly surrounded by dogs that lick my skin, have...

This is very true. My Dr. told me that sometimes you may have it since birth, but it takes some kind of change in your body to trigger it. In my case I believe it was my knee surgeries, some people report another kind of health problem which triggers it.

Please o please watch the carbs and calories in gluten-free food. I was someone who had no clue that I had celiac until I was diagnosed after a routine colonoscopy. Then lo and behold, I found out that celiac can cause migraines (which I suffered from), osteoporosis,( which I have,) and anemia (which I've always been.) I went into a huge depression going...

I know what you mean, I got careless and instead of picking up the Udis gluten free bread I grabbed a loaf of Rudis (not gluten-free) bread. I ate about half the loaf when I realized what I had done, I was out of town at the time and it took just a little while for the drowsy, stumbling symptoms. Then a migraine that started the morning I was supposed...

I too found that the Paleo diet was easy to follow. Being diagnosed 2 yrs ago with Celiac was a shocker to me because I had no stomach "disruptions" like other people. But osteoporosis, migraines, anemia was a way of life for me till I finally found the right gastroenterologist . Now anemia and migraines have gone almost completely. And the "doofies...

Just an FYI. I saw an article that says a company by the name of BioLineRX, is doing clinical trials of an oral drug, BL-7010, that is said to mask gluten so that a person's immune system does not recognize it and does not react to it. You may want to check into that.

I was amazed at how good I felt when I decided to go on the Medifast gluten-free diet. At first I thought it was the new influx of protein in my diet. And then I thought it was the pounds finally coming off, but now I do truly think it is the lack of gluten I am taking in. I keep reading as to how folks are feeling better once going truly gluten-free...

I would like to remind people that feel that following a gluten free diet because I have celiac disease is not a choice but I am trying to save my life. That if I don't follow my diet to the letter that I will continue to have stomach damage possibly to the point of giving myself cancer. It's like quitting smoking it's life saving - not a choice.

I'm trying hard not to just read the bad stuff in this paper, but I'm a little alarmed. This paper as a layman is trying to read it says that the different cells involved can mutate to become lymphoma cells? I am someone who is not responding to a gluten free diet. I have only been 1 year into it, but last endoscopy shows a worsening of the villi, and although...

I have also been looking into the SCD diet. I keep hearing about how going gluten-free will stop the symptoms, but really won't help heal my damaged stomach. The only problem is that I was overweight to start out with, then when I went gluten-free crazy eating everything gluten-free in sight I gained at least another 20, not watching carb intake at all...

I can't stand the rice pasta, it's just not the same texture - but I find that the corn pasta is good, found at Trader Joes. Still searching for a good bread, Udis, Rudis, tapioca bread, yuck.

Oh so true and nice to hear - I'm 58, and have lived with anemia, arthritis, migraines, and now osteoporosis. My Celiac was only found while looking for an unrelated problem. I couldn't believe it took all these years for someone to finally hit the nail on the head. But all my life I have been the one known for having an "iron stomach". Nothing really...

And truly don't you think it takes a weight off of the host or hostess of the dinner that they don't have to try to make something "special" just for us ?
