I live in an apartment and share an oven with a gluten-eating roommate. We honestly haven't used it that much since I've been gluten-free (or at all) but we're planning on using it a lot more for gluten-free meals. It isn't a self-cleaning oven so I plan to scrub it down as best I can but still not put foods directly on the rack. Do I also need to put...

Thanks, I had read what they said about Enterolabs/Cyrex, and that is what made me worried. I guess I will give it more time, see if I see any improvement after a long period of time (at least 6 months) and pay attention to whether or not I ever experience "glutening" symptoms. I think I've had all the proper testing done, like I said, I've had a biopsy...

I left out some info from my original post but didn't get a chance to edit it. When I first developed GI symptoms back in 2009, I had the celiac panel done probably at least once (I have now had it done probably five times ). I had an endoscopy not specifically for celiac, that is when I got diagnosed with GERD. My gastroenterologist did a biopsy for...

Hello everyone, I hope you'll bear with me because this may be a long post. Feel free to skim, I just want to make sure I provide enough information. I have had health problems since I was around 16 (I am now 21). I first started off with gastrointestinal symptoms, chronic nausea and heartburn/indigestion. I also have what they like to call IBS---my...

Thanks everyone for your responses, it looks like it really runs the gamut. It looks like things get less chronic and more acute though. I'm sure I'll be back at some point to add how glutening compares for me.

I'm just wondering if people feel like their glutening symptoms are similar to those they experienced before they were diagnosed and ate gluten regularly. For example, if you had issues with DH before diagnosis, is that still your main symptom if you get glutened? I have been as gluten-free for a month (but may still be getting CC'd, I need bloodwork) and...

Thanks everyone for the thorough responses That makes a lot of sense, I will probably keep a food diary just to see if any new sensitivities appear, but I probably will only be eating a gluten-free substitute or less a day. I definitely plan to eat a lot of Tinkyada since it's easy to make some pasta and I think it's pretty yummy (and so does my gluten...

So I've read a lot about how you should avoid gluten-free substitutes for awhile after you begin a gluten-free diet because your gut needs to heal up. My question is, if you are not a celiac, does this still apply? My impression is that celiacs have actual damage done to their gut, not sure if this is the case for people with NCGI? I realize a whole foods...

I'm so sorry you had unrelenting nausea, I can completely relate, and honestly I prefer pain (no matter how severe) over horrific nausea which I too have suffered from pretty consistently. Between that, IBS (or what they decided to call it) and GERD as well as hopefully alleviating symptoms of other AI's and preventing more from springing up, I am excited...

Nope, never vomited from gluten (except with a stomach bug, but that was any kind of food :/) and just talked to my acupuncturist/natural doctor today and he seems pretty confident that I shouldn't react too strongly to any cc since I don't have a very strong reaction now. I don't consistently have any gastrointestinal symptoms with gluten, just occasional...

I have a few friends with RA (since a very young age, most of them) and as far as I know none of them are celiacs, but we all know the diagnosis can be elusive. Anyway, there probably is a connection, there usually is because once you have one autoimmune disease (like RA), you tend to get other ones unfortunately. Some people think gluten and celiac may...

Thanks for the help I have tried to get a lot of help with my phobia in the past and honestly most methods were pretty useless. I later found out I had a tachycardia issue and since I got put on medicine for that it has helped tremendously and my panic attacks are non-existent now. I just don't want to regress. This is what I wanted to hear though ...

Hi everyone! I just got diagnosed with gluten insensitivity (I guess?) based on results from Cyrex Labs. I tried to read up a bit on that here, but got mixed results. Basically, I was a suspected Celiac for a long time but had countless negatives and even a negative biopsy. At my acupuncturist's suggestion, I had the blood test done by Cyrex and apparently...
