    Hi Linda, I'm not OBX Mom, but I can answer your questions. The Food Lion at Southern Shores has a fairly large organic and specialty foods section. I assume that the other Food Lions do as well. Harris Teeter is now open in Southern Shores and on the South end, but they do not have a gluten free section and you have to travel the entire store to maybe...

    Six measely croutons is not the issues, it's the immune response to the gluten that makes you ill. Six or Six thousand, no difference, based on the assumption that you have Celiac Disease. Hope you feel better soon.

    Please get a new doctor, one that is knowledgeable and one that doesn't downplay the facts. Your villous atrophy IS consistent with Celiac Disease and IS considered a diagnosis. Testing for Celiac can render false negatives but never false positives. Coupled with a positive dietary response, it's a pretty sure bet that you do have Celiac. Welcome...

    Would you kindly post the lab results of your blood work for Celiac. I'm not sure what your doctor means by "inconclusive". And welcome!

    Let me see if I can answer: Artificial Color - would not be wheat, barley, malt or rye Caramel Color - used to be a concern due to the source, but is no longer and is considered safe Coloring - ? but never a concern to me Natural Flavoring - it would be wise to call the company, but wheat must be listed Flavoring - same as above Food Starch - not...

    Steak (chick or pork) on the grill, that has been marinated in La Choy Teriyaki overnight., with baked potato and cesar salad. Summer time dinner is spiced shrimp (Old Bay) and fresh corn on the cob with sliced home grown tomatoes.

    Sometimes, the more we read on the internet, the more confused and paniced we become. Follow through with your pill cam and if it that does not remedy any solutions, continue on. It is very important that you CONTINUE TO EAT GLUTEN until all your testing is finished. Healing can begin quickly and throw off your test results, if indeed you have Celiac...

    ARCHIVED Taco Bell

    Testing is not as reliable as we would like at this time, but I think the Pill Cam is about as good as it gets. An endoscopy can miss effected areas, resulting in a non-conclusive diagnosis. As with most tests for Celiac, a negative result is not conclusive that Celiac is not an issue. This article is over two years old, but yet informative: https...

    Yes, symptoms can vary from person to person. I have had (dx) with IBS or Colitis for most of my adult like. Although uncomfortable at times, it was manageable. One Tuesday, I had sudden bathroom issues and two months later, I could briefly leave the house, after a diagnosis of something called Celiac Disease

    Deb, I don't have an answer for you, but this might render some clues... Open Original Shared Link

    Your gene panel from Enterolabs, tells you that you MAY be predisposed to Celiac(among 35% of the general population), although there is no clear "Celiac" gene, only a predisposition to Celiac as well as other autoimmune conditions. The article I posted was pretty clear. In english, if gluten bothers you, don't eat it. If it bothers you, you either...

    Here is some great information on genetic testing: Open Original Shared Link Thirty-five percent of the general population carry the Dq2 and Dq8 gene and only 1-4% of those will develop Celiac.

    Remember that products labeled gluten free in the US, is totally voluntary. There are no regulations or criterial for what is considered gluten free as of yet. Sometime you may come across an ingredient that is derived from a wheat source, but the processing removes the offending gluten.
