    Yes--thats the way I understand it, the leaky gut lets particles of undigested food into the bloodstream where they can set the stage for other autoimmune types of responses. I seem to read over and over how unchecked Celiac can lead to other autoimmune diseases. Scary--just this week, I learned from my mom that 2 women in my family have MS. One is 40ish...

    Kaiti--Thats what happened with me. I started out with the diet and didn't know about the other stuff. My Dr. (who I like) basically said "gluten free, dairy free diet, see you in 2 months". I learned a lot right here about the products. I got rid of everything w/gluten listed and lined up everything else and began making phone calls. At that point,...

    I tend to get sick whenever I try a product with the "made in the same facility" warning. This has happened with a variety of items, not just one company. I stay away from them.

    Hi and welcome! Your symptoms could point to Celiac--since you have an appt. coming up soon, I would suggest not cutting gluten intake at all--if you are tested, cutting out gluten could cause a false negative. Best of luck in finding out whats going on

    A second opinion is a really good idea. Like I said, I don't understand how he can be sure you have Chron's anyway if all he is going by is a CT scan. A colonoscopy can do that--did they do one? Its a shame you cancelled your reservation at the party. I'm sure that everyone would enjoy seeing you there whether you have celiac disease or not or something...

    What is terrible is that that Dr. is still practicing medicine. Is there some reason, lizzy, why you can't go back to your original Dr.--the one who is on the report? If it were me, I would stay the gluten-free course, you say its helping, and check with another gastro (perhaps the original one) and also with your gyno about the clips. How irresponsible...

    Bridget--Wow! a LOT of great ideas there. Thanks for posting all of that, I'm always looking for new recipes.

    Yea--gluten does make me thirsty. The first couple of months gluten-free, I was thirsty all the time.

    Monica, If it were me, I wouldn't do it. I don't think that 1 week back on gluten will show damage after 6+ months gluten-free. Your blood tests were positive, you feel much better on the gluten-free diet--I think you have your answer right there. That would be proof enough for me and should satisfy your family, too. I'm sure they see the improvement...

    How funny Definately Ener-G!

    Hi Carrie--Maybe there is something else you're reacting to. Soy, corn, dairy--these are things that many people have problems with. I found that the longer I was gluten-free, the more sensitive I became to things I wasn't aware of before. Also, as you've probably read here a million times, it is very important to check the non-food products you use. ...

    Gee--I had never heard that about Quest. I always have my bloodwork done through them. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has any input.

    All pepsi products are gluten free--thats the only one I know for sure.

    Hi, Johnny and welcome. Xanthan gum is fine--I use it frequently for baking. Have you checked the other ingredients? Sometimes, when you're in the early stages of trying to figure out what you can and can't eat, your system becomes more sensitive and you may have to re-evaluate some things.

    The soda spout never occured to me, either. I thought I was being careful when I'd just have a soda when out to "eat" with others. Jeesh

    dani--I think the dinner out on Sat. is the culprit. It was kind of the missing link in your story . Even if the actual food you ate had no gluten in it, you have no control over the cross contamination that may have happened in the kitchen. If they "never heard of it" they probably didn't know what to protect you from anyway. I find the only time I...

    m-m-m--the diced tomatoes sound good! I'm going to try adding them next time.

    Thanks, Claire--good to know!

This includes bareMinerals foundation, all over colors, blushes, eye shadows, glimmers, glimpses, liner shadow minerals, and body minerals. Many of our i.d. Bare Escentuals...

    Pre gluten free, my bilirubin was also slightly high. I had blood work done a few weeks ago at about 6 months gluten-free and my level had returned to normal range. It has to do with the liver--my Dr. was not worried about a slightly high level, but wanted to keep an eye on it. It can cause jaundace and one cause is a blocked bile duct, but my Dr. said...

    Looks good to me! Enjoy

    I think that people were getting conflicting answers when contacting the company themselves. I was, also. Today was the first time they offered me the list and I've contacted them 2 other times.
