  1. At this point I would do the testing through Enterolab. I had a difficult husband too, so it was really my only option. He needed some sort of proof too. I think that Daddy's have a hard time thinking that their child might be sick, so they want it not to be true so bad that they ignore or explain away symptoms. I found it helpful to know that...
  2. I always heard that Tums had gluten? I just looked up their website FAQ http://www.tums.com/faqs_contents.asp#4 and this what it says - Does TUMS
  3. That's so nice of them. It's wonderful to be included. Welcome to the board. Make yourself at home. Nancy
  4. I'm not sure about Red Robin, hopefully someone with some experience with them will chime in to confirm things on that. Hamburger buns - Kinnikinnick English Muffins (not the hamburger buns) make nice, soft, squishy buns if you know the trick). The trick is that you have to put them in the microwave for a bit. Then they get soft and squishy. Kind...
  5. Not a stupid question at all. No stupid questions around here. Technically I have gluten intolerance, not celiac. I don't have either of the main genes for celiac, although they don't believe they've found all of the genes that contribute to problems with gluten. When I first went gluten-free, I assumed that I would be able to just not eat the...
  6. I came across this today. It's not in my area, but thought I'd put the word out here. If anyone goes, let us know how the food was.

  7. I know... It makes you want to pitch a fit doesn't it? Nancy
  8. Also, keep the gluten-free diet in the back of your mind as something to try. There are so many people here (including me) who had negative test results, but had life-changing results just by trying the diet. I hope you feel better soon. Nancy

  11. Yay! Something to research! I looked it up - From Late Latin annymus, from Greek annumos, nameless : an-, without ; see a- 1 + onuma, name (influenced by earlier nnumnos, nameless); see n-men- in Indo-European roots. So onymous would mean - with name. Yep - I'm lettin' my nerd flag fly. Nancy
  12. The fact that you've been gluten-lite for such a long time and still came up with borderline results says a lot. That AND the response you have now to gluten? I say - welcome to the board. Make yourself at home. Testing for kids is even more inconclusive than testing for adults. I'd also suggest the whole family go gluten-free so you can see who...
  13. Welcome to the board. I'm glad this has been so helpful to you. I think that the "gold standard" for diagnosis should be the doctor telling an already gluten-free patient to eat gluten for testing - If the patient bursts into tears, threatens the doctor with bodily harm, screams "You can't make me!", or turns green, it should be a positive diagnosis...
  14. Welcome to the board Sam. I'm glad you're here. There is a lot of information in the archives of old messages. You might be surprised that some nagging health problems may start improving as you continue on the gluten-free diet. I found out about celiac because of struggling with IBS for years, but after being on the diet, all sorts of things improved...
  15. Thanks for posting this - I emailed her too. I had migraines for the last three years of my undiagnosed years. Miserable. Nancy
  16. I totally forgot I posted this . A belated thanks to Lisa for looking this up for me. I must have been foggin'. The hotel was really nice and accomodating, so I didn't need to eat anywhere else. I did use my Triumph Dining Card for the first time ever walking into a restaurant, but only because my husband was hungry when we went shopping. ...
  17. Kissing. If your wife/husband/significant other eats gluten, they can gluten you. Fake nails. I got a reaction from getting "pink and whites" (french style fake nails). Never did figure out if it was the acrylic powder or the nail polish that was causing the reaction because of the language barrier. Nancy
  18. I don't, but I think it's a neat idea. Mine was a few days after Christmas '05, not sure exactly when though... Considering my biopsy was in mid-Feb, it's no wonder I had a negative biopsy. By the time Christmas was over I could barely make myself eat any of the "goodies". So I just threw in the towel and went gluten-free because I knew I wasn...
  19. Tea. Had to toss a box of lemon tea once. Good thing I looked. Other people's cosmetics. Men with an unsupportive wife/girlfriend who doesn't check her lipsticks, etc. probably have a lot of problems. Nancy
  20. I don't have anything useful to add, but I can't wait to hear how this turns out. I love(d) sourdough bread. Nancy
  21. You didn't mention personal care products specifically, so I just wanted to remind you that shampoo, lotion, cosmetics, nail polish (thinking of you here not her), all can have gluten in it. I was glutening myself and my kids once because of CC from my nails (doh!). Nancy
  22. Get one of those Command Adhesive hooks for your towel. They stick to just about anything and when you remove the adhesive you'd never even know it was there. I used one to hang my towel up on the side of the cabinet next to the kitchen sink at our old house. It works well because you don't have to worry about someone glutening it accidentally. Nancy
  23. Yay!!! That's awesome! Maybe it will prompt them to do a future, fully explanatory article in order to make up for it? Nancy
  24. Hey Shealey - No problem at all. I'm happy to be able to help. One of the things that makes some of these things make sense is that gluten is STICKY. It sticks to and in everything. It takes such a small amount to cause a reaction that it's worth it to have two sets of some things if you are going to have a shared household at all, either...
  25. My favorite is when people are told that by people working in bakeries. Nancy
