  1. Painful like lava is exiting your body? Yeah, that's normal. Painful due to constipation, normal too, with Celiac or an intolerance
  2. Open Original Shared Link I sure would like to know what form of gluten is in their cottage cheese. Can't figure out where wheat, barley or rye would play a role here.
  3. I'm not sure about a cough being one of the symptoms, but reflux can be, and there is an association. You may also have a gluten allergy. But, if you feel better eating gluten free, great!
  4. One more note. Don't try to make a grilled cheese sandwich just yet. It takes talent. You'll find that the gluten-free bread soaks up all the cheese.
  5. My favorite bread at Whole Foods is the Prairie Bread. I think most of us toast the bread.
  6. Smart Water from Glaceau it really good. It's vapor distilled water plus electrolytes which might be helpful. I wish you well and hope that things go smoothly. Mine was a breeze, but the prep was BLA.
  7. Hum, jealousy almost prevented me from posting. Europe is pretty progressive regarding gluten free eating, especially Italy. You might want to invest a few dollars in gluten free dining cards at www.triumphdining.com And have a wonderful anniversary.
  8. This rings my bell and my doctors suspicians as well.
  9. A full serologic panel is required to diagnose/test: Open Original Shared Link
  10. With two different doctors confirming blunted villi and yet, they cannot diagnose Celiac Disease? Is there another direction that they are leaning? Visable blunting can be diagnostic. Biopsy samples can be hit or miss and does not indicate that you do NOT have Celiac. Many doctors can see only in black and white. If you consume gluten and you have...
  11. If you are having ongoing issues, I think you have answered you own questions. Have you been tested?

    ARCHIVED Group Letter to Dr. Fine

    Ah, I thought there might have been a connection somewhere. Dr Fine and Enterolabs has been the frequent subject of discussion here, as you can tell. Many members here will be looking forward his published work as well as the peer review. Welcome!

    And, you know this how?
  14. If you were gluten free for ten days prior to your blood work, it may have effected the results as a false negative.
  15. Rice in itself is naturally gluten free. Check the labels of Rice with seasonings.
  16. I would recommend www.triumphdining.com Grocery Guide. It lists over 30,000 main stream product and it is issued every year, with current, confirmed products. I sure wish that I had it the first years I was diagnosed. After the first you, you should have learned to read labels. As Peter mentioned, depending on lists has major problems with accuracy...
  17. Open Original Shared Link Although villous atrophy is not exclusive of celiac disease, it is considered a crucial finding. Other causes of blunted villi include tropical sprue, malnutrition, intolerance to cow's milk, soy protein intolerance, and infectious gastroenteritis. However, most of these conditions can be readily excluded on the basis of clinical...
  18. I hate it when it does that.
  19. I am glad you had a great experience. One of our members here has worked to educate chefs in Hawaii and around the world about the gluten free diet.

  21. Because she's not confident in her own diagnosis. With a history of intestinal issues, it's always good to have a base test and to check for other possible issues, imho.
  22. I just love random birthday wishes, on spacebook too.
  23. Just pooped in to wish Janet a very happy birthday. Many wishes to you my friend!
  24. Maybe someone could write the USDA and get a clarification statement.
  25. A while ago, blue cheese was "started" with molded bread. In current times, this process is costly and most producers use a synthetic started that is not gluten related. Some very high end cheeses may still be "cured with bread cultures and it will reflect in the cost. If you do a search for "blue cheese - gluten free" you may come up with some specific...
