    if the gi is going to do any further testing, he absolutely needs to continue eating gluten. it may take him months to recover from all the damage to his system, but it may not. and he'll stop producing antibodies to gliadin itself fairly quickly once he stops ingesting it. as for foods - it takes a while to find the things you like. some internet...

    Can you store pre-cooked stuff in your freezer for these occasions? Then it's kinda take-out, if only from your own freezer? I'm sorry. Sometimes, it does suck. There's no getting around the fact that we've grown used to the fact that other people get these conveniences, so why the heck shouldn't we!? Sometimes I wonder if it'd be easier if it were...

    do call on the toothpaste... there are two I know of w/ gluten, and that might be the other one I keep forgetting about

    they're made in shared facilities, on shared equipment, so it's your call. some people have no problem with them, some people feel they have reacted to them. there's no *definite* answer on this one.

    taking what supplements you can sublingually and via shot are the short term solution (and an important one at that - bandaids aren't bad things!), and in the long term, you do have to wait for your gut to heal in order to absorb nutrients from your food. make sure you are eating the most nutrient dense food you can find. that means no white rice (it's...

    yes, contamination is a concern. you should cook your hot dogs on foil, so that they don't touch the grill surface itself. not quite the same, I know, but it prevents contaminating your hot dogs.

    on average - one to four weeks. you might take less time, you might take more, but that's a decent two-sigma average.

    different potatoes have different glycemic loads. eaten on their own, they're primarily simple starch. some have more fiber than others, so it's perfectly reasonable, for instance, that a russet would cause a reaction for you. even a sweet potato could if you don't balance it with fat and protein. (for some people, ample fiber is enough to slow the sugar...

    better for gluten free specifically? meh. better for baking in general? yeah, a bit. the fan distributes the heat more evenly, so you don't get hot/cold spots. it also means that you should set it to a lower temperature (15-25F lower) than recipes generally state.

    you do have to read the ingredients on *everything* including altoids. at least two of their products - the small mints and the mint gum - have wheat. they do label clearly, which is lovely, but you have to read the ingredients.

    humans originally only ate fruits, vegetables (root vegetables), seeds, nuts, and meats. no dairy, no grains. you'll be fine. get weight bearing exercise (for bone health) and consider a calcium supplement, but you don't even need grains for carbohydrates - fruits and vegetables are mostly made of them.

    Rice Dream and Soy Delicious are both Gluten-free Casein-free. I'd stop by a local health food store (or Whole Foods like place) and see what they have, as it can vary so much from place to place. There are at least three others that I know are fine, but I can't think of them off hand.

    the tooth enamel defects related to celiac disease actually often start in childhood because the enamel can't form properly without the minerals which are not getting absorbed by the damaged digestive tract.

    It makes sense because there are physical limits to how little of something can be detected. In order to have a federal regulation on food labeling, you have to be able to 'prove' your claim. In order to prove your claim, you have to measure it. All instruments that measure physical things have a lower limit of resolution, and right now, that's about what...

    a chiropractor may be useful even for short term pain relief for sciatica. no guarantee, but there may be something they can do to help with spine alignment temporarily (if you don't want to commit to the time for full corrections if they're needed - that takes months).

    celiac is not uncommonly found in patients with diabetes - both type 1 and type 2. as IR typically preceeds type 2, the logical conclusion is yes. additionally, there are plenty of us here with reactive hypoglycemia (and many in the population). you're definitely not alone.

    You're first message came through fine. First - congratulations for all the progress you've made! As for your specific questions: 1) While genetics play a role, it's thought that environmental factors are *also* required to trigger Celiac disease. Physical stress (e.g., surgery, pregnancy), mental stress (e.g. high-intensity work stress),...

    sorry if it wasn't clear in my post, and it doesn't help that we don't have any note of hierarchical structure while maintaining view of all the posts, but my response was to the OP (original poster). it's one of the things that can be a bit difficult to read about the site - who's responding to whom. :shrug:

    celiac disease is not an allergy - the allergy tests don't even look for it.

    yep, it doesn't appear to accept img src tags. links are the way you'll have to go. I've tried on and off over the years, but it's never worked.

    Psychologists (unlike psychiatrists) are not able to prescribe medication. A psychologist worth a grain of salt is unlikely to suggest that early in the process unless it's actually warranted. Also, given that he's yelling at the other kids, I'd say it's vital to get this behavior in check for the well being of the other children. Until he finds someone...

    To be fair, this board is *not* representative of the average celiac. Studies put the compliance rate for the diet somewhere well under 50% (though I don't recall the exact number). It's one of the reasons doctor's tell their patients that the diet is "too hard", because the statistics show that people can't generally keep it up. (Of course, you could...

    I have always thought, comparatively speaking, I transitioned to being gluten free pretty painlessly. I found adapting to be pretty easy, didn't care much about other people 'looking at me' (oh noes! ha!), didn't care about people trying to correct me, liked talking about it, liked trying to adapt around it. But I still went through the same thing. To some...

    Definitely don't eat anything you don't KNOW is safe - and it sounds like your coworkers food wasn't something you had an ingredient list for, and hence couldn't *KNOW* that it was safe, only GUESS. Also, AFAIK, nothing at Taco Bell is safe.
