ARCHIVED How To Investigate A Celiac Diagnosis W/o Eating Gluten?
NanaV replied to NanaV's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Trust me, I want to eat 100% gluten-free all the time, but it seems I get glutened frequently when I'm out. Example: this past Wednesday night I ate at our club. I know the chef & he knows me. He made me special food, even when he was serving the other 16 people at the table a set menu. I ate it all, thinking it was all gluten-free. Alas, it was NOT... -

Yes! It's the "are you sure?" from well-meaning people that I would love to avoid. And thanks for the advice for the kids. I've already had the 18yo go gluten-free. He's the one I'm most concerned about. Now that he's in college and competing in tournaments on weekends, his food is never 100% gluten-free. And I don't think it will be until he gets (and... -

NanaV posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm pretty sure I'm either celiac or the non-celiac gluten-reactive kind of person. I've been off gluten for more than a year, a decision I came to on my own to relieve a handful of symptoms: bloating, gas, finger & wrist joint pain, fatigue, irritability, post-nasal drip & morning phlegm. These symptoms go away when I'm off gluten. In the...
