  1. "Brain fog" is a very typical symptom. It's due to malabsorption resulting in vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Please remember to EAT a full GLUTEN diet before testing.
  2. First of all Welcome, This is a great place! Second, for any doctor (a GI) to dismiss Celiac because you are not skinny or Irish, need to find a new profession. It would be interesting to know what your test actually were, with a definition of "borderline". If you are not concerned about having a doctor's diagnoses, I would recommed that...
  3. I do a similar dip" Mayo Artichoke chopped (canned) Dash of Lemon Juice Kraft Parmesan Cheese Broil until bubbly and serve with rice crackers. It's yummy.
  4. I've also wondered if it worked for you Lisa??
  5. The Manning family are great people. Can you imagine the celebration in that family. Great job Eli.
  6. Congratulations Kat....may the force be with you.
  7. The last quarter was a great ball game. Paula - you came the close, but Tom's early prediction was one point off (19-13=32). Final combined score was 31. Good game
  8. The game was so uneventful my company left after 1/2time (that's a good thing) Kicking up now!!
  9. Just for fun. What do you predict? Winning team and combined score: My call....Patriots - 48 combined score. (I'm really pulling for Eli)
  10. Just as I thought! This Alexis is rather pretty and she looks very nice, rather than that "other one".
  11. Is this the same Alexi that is the daughter of Martha? It doesn't look like her.
  12. Welcome Muzz, Here are the tests you can ask you doctor to order: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level There are three methods of testing: the Celiac Panel (as the above), endoscopy/biopsy and positive dietary response.
  13. Look in your right upper corner and click on "Options", then onto "Standard". That should bring you back. Edit: Yeah, what she said.
  14. Welcome, You have found a wonderful site to learn all that you need to know about Celiac. The average diagnosis time is eleven years. You are in good company here. The diet can certainly be overwhelming. But, good words of advise is to start simple. Simple, meaning meat, fish, rice, potatoes, fresh veggies, and fruit. No processed foods for a while...
  15. I have seen this. It is done really well and extremely informative.
  16. Is this the same Alexi that is the daughter of Martha? It does not look like her. I will be quite facinated what they do with this if we win. With hopes something........ (positive thoughts, Lisa )
  17. It may take some time before you really feel the effects of the gluten free diet. You have to remember, that it took time for the damage of occur and likewise, it will take some time for the healing. The gluten free diet is very complex in the beginning as you are finding out. The learning curve is very steep. Have you gotten a new toaster, new cutting...
  18. Oops, I am wearing too many hats this morning. I was thinking that you both were in the Jacksonville area, not Fayetteville. Raleigh/Cary areas would be your next big city. If something can't be found in Raleigh, it just can't be found.
  19. Wilmington is not too far. I'm know they have many options for shopping.
  20. I could always drink without being impared. But, when I went gluten free it was a whole new ball game. It caught me by surprise several times. I drink rarely now. It's much more fun being the sober one at parties. Oh, the stories I could tell.
  21. One vote for Pamela's Chocolate Caker Mix. It's better than any Duncan Hines
  22. I'm in there too...um, several times
  23. I can't confirm anything for you but, seriously, the risk of cross contamination is GREAT.
  24. I would think that six weeks low gluten could certainly effect your blood work. But, does that really make a difference to you. If you feel better off of gluten, there is your answer. If you have continued fatigue, perhaps you should get a full metabolic blood screening to make sure that you are not deficient in specific vitamins or minerals. That...
  25. La Choy Soy Sauce and Teriyaki are both gluten free, not the best, but gluten free.
