    8-12 weeks?? Wow, I probably won't bother, then. I might as well just try eating gluten for 1-2 weeks and see how I feel. If I feel okay, I'll just keep eating it. If I feel worse, I'll stop, possibly forever. I don't think I need a diagnosis to help me keep eating gluten-free, if I know it makes me feel better. I had blood drawn on Friday to test for...

    How long do I need to be back on gluten? Two weeks? And then is it just a blood test?

    Hmmm, now I don't know what to do! I suppose I should get tested...but what if I start eating gluten again, and five days later, I'm miserable with heartburn and a horrible cough? Does it even matter at that point if I have Celiac or not? It'll be obvious that either wheat or gluten affect me... I've heard a lot about the book "Wheat Belly" (and have...

    Hi! Just wondering what web sites or blogs everyone likes to use for gluten free cooking/baking? I just found glutenfreeonashoestring.com and am going to make her pumpkin bread today. Looking for other web site ideas, too!

    As much as I want to eat gluten again, you're probably right - I should wait at least another few weeks before trying. I don't think my cough has disappeared for more than about six weeks at a time, so the longer it stays away, the more likely it's the diet that's helping. I will definitely try gluten again at some point, though, since I haven't officially...

    I haven't been diagnosed with Celiac. I started a gluten-free diet a month ago out of desperation to get rid of my chronic cough (caused by acid reflux). The cough went away - yay! - but I'm not 100% sure it's from the diet, since it has randomly gone away for 2-4 weeks at a time before. So I feel like I should try gluten again at some point, since I obviously...

    There seem to be a ton of digestive enzymes brands out there - how do I know which ones are good? I know Digest Gold was mentioned in the Newbie 101 thread, but it's over $50 and I'd like to find something cheaper. Thanks!

    It was definitely the coconut oil and milk. I didn't have coconut products Monday-Wednesday and had no heartburn. This morning I had a gluten-free granola bar that had coconut in it (oops) and now I've got HORRIBLE heartburn. No more coconut for me, at least for a while.

    I didn't have any coconut products today. I had mild heartburn this morning, but it was brief. Tonight I had enchiladas for dinner. That included cheese, onions, and, of course, enchilada sauce. It's three hours later and...no heartburn! So far so good. I can't believe coconut oil would give me heartburn but not cheese and onions. Maybe it's the large...

    I'll try cutting out coconut oil and coconut milk this week and see if I feel better. Now that you mention it, I have a feeling it's that, not dairy. I hope it IS that, because it's easy to eliminate from my diet (whereas dairy would be REALLY tough). I have an appointment with a GI doctor on Friday to check my stomach acid levels. I plan to ask him about...

    I haven't been tested for lactose intolerance, but I don't know why I would be "suddenly" lactose intolerant? I"ve had tons of dairy my whole life with no issues (at least, certainly no heartburn). I didn't have dairy for breakfast today but got heartburn anyway, so I don't *think* dairy is the problem...The only other thing that's "new" in my diet, besides...

    Hi! I've had a terrible cough for two years and was diagnosed with acid reflux two months ago. The ENT put me on Omeprazole, which was a nightmare. I took myself off that pill and decided to try going gluten-free after seeing an episode of Dr. Oz in which some women's acid reflux symptoms (and other health issues) went away after going gluten-free. I...
