What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe to continue using Lexapro.

Side effects may include:

Constipation, decreased appetite, decreased sex drive, diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, ejaculation disorder, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, headache, impotence, indigestion, insomnia, nausea, runny nose, sinusitis, sleepiness, sweating

What is the GAPS Diet?

I would suggested you see a doctor and make the appropriate corrections to your diet, through food or supplement, before it can be a permanent issue.

Good people, good stuff....

How Does the Team Gluten-Free™ Program Work?

Select an event in your town (5K/10K/half marathon/full marathon) and participate

as a Team Gluten-Free™ member.

You can choose any event, even if it benefits another charity (i.e., Race for

the Cure). When you register for your event, the money will go to that charity.

This is the money you pay the event organizers so you may participate in their

event. When you fundraise, those dollars will go to Team Gluten-Free™’s

charities (Celiac Disease research and awareness programs and summer

camp scholarships for children with Celiac Disease).

Mail or fax your completed Team Gluten-Free™ registration forms to:

Team Gluten-Free™

550 W. Plumb Lane, Suite 168B

Reno, NV 89509

F: 775-747-4631

Once you register with Team Gluten-Free™, you will receive fundraising materials,

suggested training schedules, tips for completing your event and injury

prevention.

You will also wear a Team Gluten-Free™ shirt the day of the race.

It’s that easy! Download your information packet here.

If you have read some of the threads here, you know tht it's a frequent topic here.

Many people here have used Enterolab after their Celiac Panel and Endoscopy exams were inconclusive. For some, it's a piece of the puzzle.

If you are looking for a diagnosis for Celiac, that's not what they do. Some here, are please with their results for food sensitivity.

I, personally, have never seen an independent study as to the accuracy of their stool testing.

Dr. Fine's research has yet to be submitted for peer review, so can't tell ya.

Were you statisfied with your results?

GREAT Suggestions Dave. Very good! I knew a good Irishman would come up with something.

I should say, it's for a wedding, BUT I'm all up for some humor.

Get of full metabolic panel to check for deficiencies. Often times low B-12 can effect your speech and your gait. I had trouble articulating and walking.

I got over it with some B-12 injections initially. Now a multivitamin is all I take.

Sorry, mine has citric acid, I use Nature's Bounty.

me too

can Anybody help i just found out

I would suggest the Triumph Dining Grocery Guide. You can find it at www.triumphdining.com or through the Gluten Free Mall on this site.

EDIT: It's not free, but worth every penny.

What is the funnies thing you have seen printed on a beer or drink Koozie? I want to print some for an upcoming event and want to be creative and humorous.

Any fun suggestions?

Smoking and drinking can also effect the blood cells.

I went over the symptoms with my OBGYN and he diagnosed me with Interstitial Cystitis. I am on medicaid and they won't pay for the test or the medication needed so he diagnosed me based on symptoms. I have to follow yet another strict diet. I can't have anything high in acid, any preservatives, nitrates, or artificial colors. It seems pretty similar to gluten free with added restrictions on fruits and other foods. Can anyone help me with what I can eat?? I am going shopping in a few days. I am wondering about tomatoes. On the sheet the doctor gave me it says I can have homegrown tomatoes but not storebought. Can I have organic???

This is a great source. This was posted in 2006, but I assume the diet is still appropriate:

Lea & Perrins in Canada is NOT gluten free. In the US it IS gluten free....as janetw mentioned, but it deserves another shout out.

I forget sometimes also, that we have an international Forum. Campbell's Canada and Campbell"s US is another example of differing gluten free products.

There is also a calendar with special events at the bottom of the home page celiac.com

How do I pick out

quotes and use smiley faces?

Yup, what Peter said.

YEAH!!!! I'm so happy for you Tiffany. Children will change your life is so many ways...a good thing.

BTW, I won't tell anyone.

So im on what seems like an anti-candida regimen only I dont have candida. However, whatever showed up on my stool test is definitely a yeast/fungus and is sensitive to the botanicals and antifungals that eliminate candida. so my question is what other types of yeasts can colonize in the GI tract and are they more or less invasive than candida?

Jason,

Maybe you can get some of your questions answered here. It seems like a pretty good resource:

Thanks for the replies. That's very helpful. By the way...Momma Goose and psawyer, why do both of your profile pictures have the same statue/bust in it? I can't help but ask.

I guess you will have to go to the Silly Thread to find out about Sam Hill.... Some have actually read the WHOLE thread..

Not to hijack, but does that mean that "natural flavors" should be okay if undisclosed?

No, but I don't think that it's common for gluten to be contained in "natural flavors", but possible. Wheat, by law, must be listed, but barley, malt and rye do not at this time.

I've heard that you can't always trust if "Modified Food Starch" is gluten free. But sometimes I see "Food Starch-Modified (Tapioca)" or "Food Starch-Modified (Corn)". Are those gluten free? For example, there is a new Starkist Salmon Creations (Mango Chipotle) that I want to try. But it has the tapioca food starch listed in the ingredients.

Modified Food Starch in the US is generally derived from corn. If otherwise, by law it must be listed as "Modified Food Starch (wheat). Barley and malt would not be a player here. So for the most part, if you don't see "wheat", it should be no problem.

It's possible. But, not all roads lead to Rome.

Only through my eyes can I believe. I have found Olive Garden to be one of the largest, most unfriendly, restaurant there is. They withdrew their gluten free menu.

Redemption can be a good thing. But, I think I'll wait a while

We have had several member living in or traveling to China. You can do a quick search on this site from post replies:

I took some probiotics after I was first diagnosed and I couldn't handle them. A years later, I found some which were diary free and I didn't have a problem. Did you contact the manufacturer to check on their gluten free status?

I'm not quite sure why berries should be off limites and certainly they are not a gluten issue.

Keep a food journal and give it some time.

MSG is on the Safe List for Celiacs.

MSG

Monosodium glutamate is a flavoring made through the fermentation of corn, sugar beets, or sugar cane. It is gluten-free

If a product with MSG is of a foreign source, it would have to comply with FDA Regulations, disclosing "wheat". If Chinese, (if I'm not mistaken) it may be derived from seaweed, and not one of the eight allergens.
