Great to hear it! Thanks, Dee. That's the book I'm looking into now, and, like every diet, I was a little skeptical, so it's nice to have first hand testimonies. Thanks!

Has anyone here mastered the social awkwardness of saying no to gluten? Let me expand. It seems that there have been social invitations my husband and I have been invited to by people who we're getting to know (we moved across the country this February), and there's this sort of offense taken if we decline because of my celiacs. Or there was this one time...

Has anyone heard of the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet)? Has anyone tried it or is doing it? It seems I'm also sensitive to grains, which I've slowly weened back into my diet, after the six month mark of being gluten and wheat free. But if I have too much of either rice or corn, my body is thrown and behaves like I just digested a disgusting bleached refined...

ARCHIVED Am I Back To Square One?

Exactly what I think it was - to drive fear into me, and it worked! lol. And I agree. I like my naturopath a lot; she's so thorough. But sometimes I do have to wonder if 10% of it is too much/latest nutrition trends! Thank you! -

Yeah, it was a bit odd. I do like the lady, and her treatments work. Thanks, kareng. That was very helpful. -
ARCHIVED Am I Back To Square One?
Snag posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It's been a while since I've been active. I've been six months gluten and grain free as prescribed by my naturopath. I have never been exactly diagnosed with celiacs or a gluten intolerance, but after explaining my symptoms to my naturopath, she said it was most definitely celiacs (and she did a few informal tests - eyes, skin etc). Besides, I've heard that... -
ARCHIVED Discomfort And Pain And Ugh.
Snag posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I've never been diagnosed with a gluten allergy, at least, not positively. I went to the doctors a few years ago and got tested for a gluten allergy, and it was negative. But, the symptoms were definitely there (bloating, discomfort, gas, diarrhea, constipation, breathing trouble, and heart racing) every time I ate some sort of bread, or something with wheat... -

Thrilled! As an Aussie living in the states, I had to wonder. Thanks! -

Thanks for clarifying for dietry noobs like me! I do know my experience at Applebee's have been mixed. Sometimes I have felt fine, and other times have felt like I'm struggling with an alien inside my gut. Best listen to the experienced, as yourself. -

A coworker at my husband's work happened to have celiacs/gluten intolerence/I'm-not-sure-what-but-one-of-the-two. My husband expressed that I suffered, too, and she compiled a list for me of gluten free restaurants. I thought I'd share, though I haven't confirmed all of these, so use with caution. If anyone has confirmed, do let me know. If anyone has any... -
Thank you! And good to know. Learning social etiquette on forums can be quite daunting! It's a possibility. My husband is half joining me on the gluten free meals, although he takes a sandwich for lunch which is gluten filled. Sometimes I have made our sandwiches on the same bread board. Other times, not - but same reaction. I'll be careful over the...

So, I've been gluten sensitive since 2009, though showing symptoms as early as 2008. I went for a blood test at my doctor's to pick up allergies in '08, to no avail, though it was very evident that I was gluten intolerent (bloated, symptoms similar to IBS, lack of energy, rashes etc). I went to a Naturopath in 2011, and she picked it up immediate through...
