  1. The article submitted was quite a bit void of facts. Here's additional information on Jennifer: Open Original Shared Link She was diagnosed and had been gluten free for four years now.
  2. I'd be willing to offer Patti as our test offering, if need be.
  3. If you are new to the diet and need to dine out, I would recommend buying the gluten free dining cards from: www.triumphdining.com They come in multi languages and it can be essential for newly diagnosed people with Celiac, dealing with foreign language restaurants. I used them and found them effective. I understand that there are some apps...
  4. As with you, I see no reason to reintroduce gluten for the satisfaction of your doctors for further diagnosis, after you have been gluten free for eight months. It sounds a bit counter productive to me, with no assurance for accuracy. You have had a positive dietary response, a reaction to gluten and dairy can also be an issues (it can be temporary...
  5. Is Patti getting a biscuit?
  6. Hey Padds...gettin' a little bit nervous with a total post count like this 19,968? You should be !
  7. If you have a positive blood test, you have Celiac. And there is no need to an endoscopy exam. How diligent are you on the diet? It can be pretty complex. "And many people, I have talked to, don't take it very seriously." They're stupid people, don't be one.
  8. As you should be overwhelmed. It is over whelming! But, can be easily fixed. May I ask what kind of doctor diagnosed you? I'm not a doctor, but I would assume that your doctor would recommend removing gluten and dairy from your diet first. See how that goes for a month or two and if issues continue, go soy free....a month or two. Well, you get my...
  9. Yum. Do you ship? Or do I have to come and get it...Oh, Oh, Oh, I can do that.
  10. Yes. Are you in your own place where you can be careful about what you eat and it's preparation? If you have a clinical diagnosis, the college needs to meet you needs, by either offering you personal, clean space in the cafeteria or supplying you with gluten free options. It sounds like you're in your own place or a shared apartment. Cross contamination...
  11. You're not saying that they are not gluten free, just that you have a reaction to an undisclosed ingredient? YES? I thing their donuts are drop dead awesome. I eat them frozen.
  12. Take this test to your doctor: The following are the celiac specific blood tests: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA
  13. I would get that response when I consumed dairy products, in the beginning....just a thought. Try that simple elimination for two weeks and reintroduce, in three to four week. I bet it will be gone. I hope
  14. You may find this of interest: Open Original Shared Link
  15. Yes, Gluten Ataxia can effect the brain and/or the nervous system, and DH a form of gluten intolerance can effect the skin. Celiac Disease generally effects the small intestines. ....And it's all gluten related.
  16. Yup...crustless PP is always a hit here!
  17. Gluten, probably not, but bacteria could be a likely issue. Public pools are iky. Not all roads lead to gluten. Please check in after your doctor's appointment.
  18. Okay...here are some choices: Rice and sausage stuffing/in turkey Gluten free cornbread stuffing/in turkey Separate gluten stuffing in a pan Let him do his own thing, and cook a Cornish hen for yourself.(a mini-me) There will be many recipes that will be offered here for Thanksgiving. Maybe he might like one, but maybe not.... New holidays...
  19. I can't imagine that Vick's Vaporub would be a gluten concern. Feel better soon. Vicks VapoRub ointment regular, active ingredients - Camphor 4.8%, Eucalyptus oil 1.2%, and Menthol 2.6%.
  20. Welcome Blevois. I think that the length of this thread may be an indication that there is no clear answer to your question. You asked ...and we are just FULL of opinions. You received some good answers. With positive blood work and success (not full success) going gluten "lite", I would think that you can conclude that you have Celiac Disease...
