    Cool, Tom, glad you're better - I had D this summer and at first thought it was a bug and then just wouldn't get right. I would have it like every week or so and I noticed in about 5 weeks I had lost 7 pounds - I remember thinking - this is either cool or this is not good! After I started the diet after my endoscopy my D slowly subsided and I'm feeling like...

    Hi everybody - Hope this finds you well. This is sort of a random email just to see what you guys think. I was diagnosed this Sept. with Celiac - my great aunt on my father's side also has Celiac. I've finally convinced my father to get tested - my doc suggested he should - and so he had the TTG yesterday and will get results back on Monday. He's always...

    Hi guys - I remember reading another thread on this at some point but I wanted to ask this question and see how some of you respond. I was diagnosed in September and as far as I can tell my digestive issues have cleared nicely since going on the diet. However, this winter has been a real &*!@# for me. I have 3 little ones (one who just started her...

    Hi everybody - I have my 6-month check up with my gastroenterologist coming up in a few weeks. I was just wondering if any of you have had one and what did the doctor do? Do I have to have more bloodwork? I've already done the bone scan and a check of my vitamin levels...I'm currently having no more problems unless you count the one time I drank Rice Dream...

    You're funny, Michael. I get this visible image of you shooting off to use the restroom. I'm surprised at how good some companies have been about getting back to me promptly! Amanda

    Hi everybody - I need everyone's help that's traveled. I'm going to Savannah, Georgia and Nashville, TN this week. My first trip out of Wisconsin in a while! It's also my first big trip since my endoscopy and Celiac diagnosis. I'm freaked! Could somebody tell me what kinds of things I should order at restaurants or give me travel tips as I go about...

    Here's a message I got from Dove today when I emailed them asking if Dove Sensitive soap was gluten free, just thought I'd share: Hi, Thanks for writing! We do not specifically test our products for the presence of gluten, a sticky protein found in some grains such as wheat. Gluten may be present in products that contain derivatives of wheat, oat...

    My doctor told me once that sometimes craving chocolate can mean you need more magnesium...I was pregnant then...I guess chocolate can be a good source of magnesium

    I get GT when I have citrus and 2 days before my period every month. In my Celiac Sprue Association packet I was stunned to read it's a symptom of celiac. However, my mom has GT and does not have Celiac Disease. So, who knows.

    Did you have g.i. problems like when you would ingest gluten?
  18. AmandaD
    Could anyone tell me if they use Dove sensitive skin bar soap without problem...is this a product that wouldn't have gluten? Thank you.

    Okay. So I know that drinking straight milk still bugs my stomach - I'm basically a 7 month old Celiac now )...and still have some lactose issues. I seem to be able to tolerate the bread I make in my bread machine with the dry powdered milk. Does anyone know why this would be? ...And does anyone know what I could do to replace that dry powdered milk...

    Julie - I'm a newer celiac and I also got sick after drinking rice dream. I didn't know it wasn't gluten free and about 2 days after drinking it regularly I got diarrhea. This was my first reaction since doing pretty well for 4 months. It took me about 7 days to get totally back to normal. What a pain in the &*(*&^....
