    Here is some good information: Open Original Shared Link A 2007 study led by Dr. Alessio Fasano, who heads the University of Maryland's Center for Celiac Research, found that people who consumed 50 milligrams of gluten each day had renewed villous atrophy after 90 days, while those consuming zero gluten or 10 milligrams of gluten each day did not. ...

    Of course not! It's a valid question. And it's one that I have thought about as well. Although, we all know that we should avoid all gluten, but yet we must consume gluten for two to three months in order to be tested accurately. But, I would assume that damage would vary greatly from person to person, current state of health and the amount or duration...

    Ick factor!

    Hubby squeezed the banana from the base of the peel.....I call that disgusting, but he grins from ear to ear. And then, puts it on whole wheat bread with peanut butter and honey. ...it's not the recipe, it's the method!

    Running errands, we stopped in today. It was too hot to eat heavy, but I had the six piece grilled chic nuggets and the carrot salad. Both were good and not too much on a hot day.

    Welcome! I can assure you that I know how your feel....a bit overwhelmed. Take time to learn every thing you can about a gluten free diet in the next week or two. Read everything you can. My advise is to start simple and slowly expand when you learn what's comfortable. Start fresh with meats, fish, eggs, veggies, potatoes and rice and fresh...

    If it hasn't already been mentioned, take a probiotic that is dairy free. I take Nature's Bounty Chewable Acidophilus with Bifidus, which is milk free. When I was just diagnosed, I tried probiotics (can remember which brand) and they did not settle well with me at all. I've heard the same from others on the forum. Hope for your feel better...

    The 4th of July is always miserably hot here. It's rather dis concerning, because we take the boat to the waterfront, eat-drink aboard, and watch the "works", with friends and family. We are getting the heat that you speak about Janet, tomorrow and it will run for the next week.....96 - 100's. And when I'm Queen, the 4th of July will be in May...

    I agree. Many quality liquors are triple distilled. You just need to do your homework.

    Chopin Vodka is good. I never had a problem with any vodkas, but I switched to wine several years ago.

    Get yourself tested: (it's a blood test), before you go gluten free.!!! 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

    This is like a puzzle? I would choose...salt, pepper, onion powder and paprika....dust the combined ingredients and fry in the olive oil. (Olive oil really needs to be fresh - old is nasty ) Side: Baked potato, rice or any fresh veggie. Oh, Oh, Oh......we always dip our pork in apple sauce.

    I react a bit guarded when I walk through the flour aisle, but I have had no ill effects. Smells should not be a problem, although psychologically, it may have an affect. Physical gluten in the air would be unlikely unless someone dropped a 5lb bag of flour in the aisle, recently. But, that's not something I generally worry about.

    I think what you're talking about is a theory called cross-reaction. I'm not too sure I buy into that theory. Although, some people have issues with all grain, but I would think that they would be in the minority of people with Celiac. I devour corn in the summer and I use corn starch as a thickener always. The gluten free diet is difficult enough...

    Corn is not a problem for those with Celiac Disease. Gluten is the protein in the corn, but it will not trigger an autoimmune reaction as would wheat, rye, barley or malt.

    ARCHIVED Opinions?

    Lisa replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Interesting and I look forward to the comments. I do have a friends who spent quite a bit of time in Katmandu, Napal. She had Celiac and was able to eat the bread without issues. So..... who knows?

    ^This made me smile! Probably because it's so true and so very well said, Skylark. Yes...what she said!

    Welcome also. Yes, Raven is correct. There is a greater knowledge of Celiac Disease and some great information is coming from the on-going research. It's a very exciting time. Your husband has a diagnosis and I would encourage him to go strictly gluten free. I see no reason for a gluten challenge. So very often, Celiac Disease is diagnosed as...

    I've not used them, but they're pretty pricey.

    Thank you. I have this new interest in celery of all things. I made guzpatcho today...too hot for anything else.
  21. Lisa
    Hum...sounds interesting. Would you share?
  22. Lisa
    Yes, possibly. But you have offered minimum information. Do you have a family history (or you as parents) of intestinal disorders or other autoimmune diseases in your collective families?

    I sent you this link on your other thread: Check here: (and scroll down) Open Original Shared Link Hope you feel better soon.

    Your symptoms seem a bit severe. Maybe a professional medical opinion might be in order. The diet is not an easy one to master in a few days. When you're up to it, keep a food journal. Write down everything that passes your mouth from your fingers to your meds, soaps, lotions, shampoo..etc.
