The server gave me gluten-free red pepper paste--mmmmm! I ate all of it. So tasty.

I've started taking digestive enzymes before eating my dinner meals. Have you noticed it causes burping? Or should it reduce burping?

So far, I'm feeling great after eating there! It was important to me to celebrate with my friend at her favorite restaurant. When I mentioned gluten-free to my friend, she knew what another gluten-free friend had eaten there before with success, so I ordered that! It was the bibimbap w/o soy sauce. And then the server seemed quite knowledgeable about gluten...

Headed to a Korean/Japanese restaurant tonight, so I called just now to see what their gluten-free options might be. Uh oh. She didn't understand me at all. Not enough English fluency to understand gluten-free. So, what should I look for that would be safe?

I've been gluten-free for almost 2 years now, and I react strongly when I get accidentally glutened. I simply cannot cause harm to my body in order to get a certain test to run positive. This is why I chose Enterolab.

Ok. Did that. Negative.

If you happened to have the following lab results for yourself, what conclusions would you draw and what actions might you take? B-1) Gluten Sensitivity Stool Panel Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 30 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units) Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA 7 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units...

Yes, there was au jus on the steak, some sort of pomegranate sauce with dried cherries. My plate looked just like everyone else's, but the server said, "Yours is gluten-free" when he served me. Good thought on the digestive enzyme. I ended up taking 2 magnesium tablets with a cup of ginger tea. I don't know if I have intestinal damage, but if I did...

Cream anglaise was a vanilla sweetened white sauce they put on the dessert plate. I don't know how it's made. I've tested OK for dairy.

I ate at a private club tonight where the chef knows I'm gluten-free. (I've been negative for celiac via blood tests but my symptoms resolve on a gluten-free diet.) I just got home, and I'm in pain. My belly is enormous. I look 4-5 months pregnant. I'm 5'4" and weigh 112#, so I'm not that big normally. What is going on? I didn't overeat, but I feel...

Honestly, I don't think I can convince her to go gluten-free since the tests don't point to anything in particular. She is very aware that if she goes gluten-free, she may become MORE sensitive to gluten, and she doesn't want that to happen. Now I'm getting gene tested & we'll have a final answer.

None of her celiac numbers were borderline positive. We don't have any other reasons her liver # is high. Doc recommended she take milk thistle for a month (and iron & Vit C & D) and be retested. Seems odd. I'm wondering if I should take her lab report over to her pediatrician for a traditional med approach now. This blood test doc practices natural...

She did have the celiac tests, but the results all said negative so I didn't post them all. She had: deamidated gliadin abs, IgA & IgG, both 3 t-Transglutaminase IgA <2 tTG IgG <2 Endomysial antibody IgA negative

Her tests mostly point to her NOT having celiac. I'm grateful. However, I'm wondering if her labs are showing a gluten sensitivity. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 224 mg/dL The range is 77-278. So, this isn't flagged on her lab report. Should I dismiss this data or is it signifying a gluten sensitivity? She did show a dozen other flags on her...

Well, now I know. The freshly grilled asparagus & eggplant & peppers---it was too much temptation. And it was from a fine Italian place that was serving just 100 people, not like those buffets that sit all day with people mixing the tongs and breathing all over them. Yuck. I'm right now dealing with such widespread body aches that I fear I have...
