    Gluten intolerance does not mean Celiac Disease, with all due respect. Celiac is an autoimmune reaction triggered by the protein found in wheat, barley, malt and rye. Gluten intolerance, is just that, an intolerance, that does not trigger an autoimmune reaction as Celiac Disease does. A gluten intolerance, may be a precursor to Celiac Disease, but...

    I don't know how old your daughter is, but general, children under the age of five do not test accurately. She may gluten intolerant without Celiac. A positive dietary response is a good indicator. Remember, the tendency for Celiac is inherited. You might consider having you and your husband check.

    I would like to clarify that Enterolabs DOES NOT DIAGNOSE CELIAC DISEASE. Enterolabs themselves state that. They CAN test for sensitivities to certain foods and do some gene testing. There are currently three ways to diagnose for Celiac Disease: 1. Serologic Panel (blood testing) 2. Endoscopy/biopsy exam 3. Positive dietary response

    We have had some "traditional" doctors on this site, who also had Celiac and none of them had must confidence in Enterolabs diagnostic/testing abilities.

    Hey! I received a complementary copy of the Triumph Dining Grocery Guide in the mail, because I do some support work with the Celiac Disease Foundation. I checked it out and think it's wonderful! I only wish that it were available three years ago. It would be a gift for a newly diagnosed, because it contains over 30,000 named brand grocery products...

    Your doctor is ill informed. You are smart to question him. This is the test that you should have: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. Get a copy of your result and post then here. A colonoscopy will not detect Celiac...

    Bea, I appreciate your story about your mother. It's nice that you have a history with/of your mother, mine unfortunately died when I was a toddler. I have no history with her or about her. I am the first, to my knowledge, to be diagnosed with Celiac Disease or associated afflictions. History begins with me. It is well known, that undiagnosed...

    Patti is the #1 all time poster! WOW Bev, hope you feel better soon, and Laura, thinking about you tomorrow.

    Open Original Shared Link The intestinal permeability test is non specific for Celiac. Which is probably the reason your doctor wanted to confirm his thoughts with a biopsy. A gluten free diet will, in fact, jeopardize your accuracy in testing with an endoscopy exam. A good six weeks should be sufficient time to reek havoc in your small intestines...

    I am one that does not react anymore. I have stayed on the diet for over three years. I certainly have been exposed to cross contamination over these past two years, yet I don't react. I believe that I have healed to the point that an occasional glutening will not cause me issues. I do not eat gluten intentially. It would take repetitive glutenings...

    Good for you. I smoked for over 30 years. Since my smoking and drinking went hand in hand, I bit the bullet and stopped both. I I used Chantex and it worked well with me. Although, you have to be ready and willing for the best results. I could never return to cigarettes. CONGRATULATIONS.

    Open Original Shared Link Chick-fil-A gluten free menu as per their website.

    Open Original Shared Link It's a personal choice. Sorry, but one link won't work. pj, I have always heard and read that Chic-fil-A's fries were gluten free, using the same process/explanation as stated by the Celiac Sprue Association. As with everything, educate yourself and then make a choice that is best for you.

    Yeah, what she said

    ARCHIVED Alcohol

    Lisa replied to rossi01's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    Redbridge is made by Budwiser, and it is their gluten free beer. Several members here do react to grain based alcohol and vinegars. You might be one of the sensitive ones.
