    Happy to talk to the whole of the OMG thread - and hello to everyone. With that done...all the people who would have answers are here. So hence, my questions: I have had increased numbness beyond my knees, tingles and somewhat like they were falling asleep. Sort of like, when you come out of the cold, but no heat. And an occasional sharp pain...

    I am posting premature....did not read the whole thread. But, your Dr. doesn't seem to get the celiac thing. Do what you feel you need to do. A gluten free diet needs no DX from a DR. If it helps you, make a choice. No future testing nor expense is necessary. (Now, I'll go back and see if my post is relevant.)

    Don't know but I hope you have a good experience.

    mhansen welcome and glad you posted. So many members here are self diagnosed due to frustrations with the medical community. With your family history I would strongly suggest that you continue with your diet. Your body is telling you something and I feel it's important to listen to that. With a possitive dietary response and strong family history, perhaps...

    OK, I think they did one last year also. All the better.

    Me to, I think? How long ago was this Patti?

    With positive blood work, that in itself is a diagnoses. Yes, the biopsy MAY confirm you diagnosis, but it can be hit and miss - there is over 20 some feet of intestines in there. The endoscopy is also used to detect the amount of damage. I have had and endo and biopsy and the worst thing about was the jitters before they knock me out. It was over in...

    Done

    Good, well, keep us posted about your results. In the mean time absorb as much as you can. (information, I mean )

    I am sorry that you are not feeling well. But what concerns me the most is that you DR informed you to go gluten free during the screening process. You must remain on gluten to achieve the most accurate testing possible. Even given that the blood testing is not always the most reliable. If you DR is looking for Celiac, an ultrasound will not indicate...

    Thanks for the post.

    In addition, it is often recommended to limit dairy for a few months until healing can begin. Even after two years being gluten free, I am able to tolerate limited dairy.

    Welcome Luisa, this is a great place to learn. There isn't much about Celiac that can't be answered here. I will leave your questions regarding your children to those that have young ones. Regarding your kitchen, I would loose all the wooded spoons, scratched non-stick pans and pots. Purchase a new toaster and a bread machine is you have those. ...

    In the US maltodextrin is general derived from corn. If otherwise, by law it would be required to list wheat if it is in the derivitive as Maldodextrin (wheat).

    I am sorry that you are going through such a difficult time. Regarding load noises, yes, I am very sensitive. But, not before Celiac. Load music, sudden load noises, elevated volume on the TV....all rattle me and I get very anxious.

    I use Nature's Bounty B-12 and Folic. I have called them to verify gluten free. They are a very pleasant company to deal with. I was quire impressed.

    I am sorry if my post was a bit blunt. I had a really bad week full of emotions. I am usually quite a bit more welcoming than realized in my post. But, I would continue to suggest that you read as much here as you can, so when you are ready for the diet you will be armed and ready. This is the best source of information that I that I know of.

    Bellyfat, If you had a positive blood test for celiac ( by a true Celiac Panel), you then have Celiac. No doubt about it, other than yours. You are diagnosed. If you want to continue eating gluten to check on the amount of damage, then yes, continue eating gluten. If you are comfortable with your diagnosis, then you can begin the diet immediately and...

    I doubt it, but you should always real labels. The labeling law would require to list wheat if it is an ingredient. I buy Hillshire Farm's Kielbasa a lot.

    Betty, I don't know how to advise. There had been much discussion on this board regarding blue cheese. If I recall properly ( questionable), most common blue cheese now have a starter that is not bread induced. I can offer no documentation to that. Perhaps a search on this sight might bring forth some information. I have had blue cheese many time and...

    Laura, sorry about your dinner tonight (drinking mess) and I hate to say I am way behind news. Don't even know what it's about? Sorry me! Has Judy checked in?
  22. Lisa
    Hanna, I think that theory regarding vanilla (alcohol) is a concern of the past. Distilled alcohol appears to no longer being an issue - to most, or regarding gluten. But, to be on the safe side, I would await other comments.

    Susan, Bev has called me "Goosey" for a long time and with a little bit of endearment. I can answer to that with no problem. You can call me many things, but "goosey" is a fond term.
  24. Lisa
    Yes, it is gluten free.
  25. Lisa
    No problem, distilled vinegar is not an issue (except for a very few). Malt vinegar, yes, is an issue for cekiac. If you have been on the diet for a short time, it may take some time to heal. I does not happen overnight. It took me many months. Dressing: Olive Oil Balsamic Vinegar McCormicks Garlic Salt Sugar Parm. Cheese Pepper.
