    I should point out that I have zero trust in my current doctor who ordered these tests. It's a long story, and I trust the opinions and knowledge of you forum moderators and participants more than my Dr. at this point. Doc said she was running a Celiac panel. Turned out it was only 2 tests. These are the results: Immunoglobin A, Qn, Serum - Result...

    Nope no problems here. I LOVE the chocolate crunch flavor rice cakes best though.

    ^ This. And what is an air popper? Celicat. Living with people who don't understand your disease or are unsympathetic is difficult. It's hard enough just wrapping your own mind about all the changes and challenges you have to face. I think by learning more about Celiac in general it will help you better understand and communicate your needs with...

    First thing I did when I decided to try gluten free was sort the kitchen. I live with people who do not cook/eat gluten free. So separating everything was a big help. I have my own corner of the kitchen cabinets where I've looked over all the labels and I know anytime I go there the food is "safe". Start with the obvious foods, but using the websites and...

    I received my Celiacsure/Biocard test the other day and was able to take the test within a few minutes. I had some issues getting enough blood to do the sample, but the control line did show and after the 10 minutes were up a faint but distinguishable line was also in the test window. According to the instructions and the website, a line in the test...

    My biggest problem is I'm at the mercy of the public health system where I live. If she can't justify the state paying the cost of the test by more than just symptomology I don't think the cost would be covered. If I had an immediate family member who was diagnosed it would give some justification. I also tried explaining to her that I am adopted and...

    Well I finally went to my long awaited Dr. appointment day before yesterday. Good news is I don't have diabetes and my cholesterol levels are all normal. Told her all about all the unusual symptoms though and that I thought it might be Celiac or have a gluten intolerance and that I had tried going gluten free for a week and was starting to feel really...

    I've been trying Gluten Free for a week now, with much success and feeling really good. To my question. I should probably keep glutening myself till I get tested to not affect the tests. How much gluten do I really need to intake? (specifics please) Also, if I take an enzyme support supplement, will that affect anything? Thanks.

    I'm still learning about all the different hidden meanings in reading food labels. So I don't have any more information to add, except if you try something (because your not sure, and think it's OK) and you have a reaction, you'll have an answer. I suspect I have either Celiac or gluten sensitivity. I've been gluten free for a week and it's been going...

    Thanks for everyone sharing. I've decided I'm going to give the next 3 weeks to my G.P. visit a try gluten-free. I'll still have a full month to re-glutenize before I see any G.I. specialist. I wonder since I can feel such a difference in such a short time if it's gluten intolerance or if I actually have damage which I heard can take months to...

    My topic title says it all. I feel like I'm poisoning myself everytime I eat something with Gluten in it. Forum members recommend to keep on a regular diet until testing can be done, but I don't know if I can do it. I ate some macaroni and cheese today and have been sick all evening. Stomach cramps, diarrhea, and extreme lethargy. On days when I've tried...

    Yah I'm not sure if this is relevant to your problem at all, but I had a similar problem that had been escalating and it turned out to be my gallbladder. I was in horrible pain whether I ate or not, nausea (vomitted 9hrs straight one time), weakness. I got to a point where eating was more painful than not eating so I would barely eat. Once I found out my...

    Hmm. Well if people with Celiac don't handle any gluten at all then maybe I just have a gluten intolerance. Sighs. I understand the need to be eating a regular diet before testing, but that could be weeks if not months down the road. I thought I could at least try it and see if it gives any relief.

    Hello All, This is my first post here and I'm hoping that more self-discovery will help me find relief. First off, I don't know if I have Celiac's Disease, but I suspect after much research and my symptoms that I might. Some of my symptoms have been so off-the-wall that I never would have associated them with anything GI related, but after reading...
