I don't think Rainbow Light Prenatals contain gluten. They say they are gluten-free on the box and I don't see any of the ingredients you are worried about on my package. Are you taking the Rainbow light "Prenatal One" multivitamin?

Wow, thank you 2kids4me! You did some great research. I also had problems with a primer. (I started wildly crying halfway through the paint application). It was a Behr all-purpose primer. I called the manufacturer and they couldn't tell me if it had gluten in it or not. Has anyone else had problems with a primer?

Hi All, I have a question: What is it that actually causes the problems for celiacs--the drywall dust, the taping compound, or plaster put over the drywall? I had some problems when we had our diningroom redone, though that was just new drywall and plaster. Thanks!

Thank you all for the helpful responses. I have tried a food/symptom journal and found it hopelessly murky--no clear correlations between food consumed and symptoms, though I suspect my probably in identifying links lay in the fact that I was still consuming a diverse array of foods. I think I will try the blood test and maybe return to the journaling...

I have been on the gluten-free diet since June 2005. I still have trouble, which does not seem to be related to cc or any kind of gluten exposure. I suspect that I am intolerant to certain foods, though I'm not sure how to figure out what is giving me grief. I have kept a food journal but don't see any noticable correlation between what I eat and the reactions...

This may sound crazy, but I sometimes wonder if being diagnosed with celiac is a calling of sorts. We understand certain things after being diagnosed that we could not understand before, like how to care for ourselves and how others might end real pain in their lives. Ever since my diagnosis (in June 2005), I have been unable to let go of the idea that...

Hi Corinne, I have celiac AND microscopic colitis. I am considering the SCD, but am feeling a bit intimidated, simply because my diet is already so restrictive. That said, I really want to rid myself of my occasional (once every two months) bouts of colitis. They last for 3-4 weeks and are really unpleasant. I'd love your advice. Any chance I could...

It's hard for me to know how to advise you without knowing more about the email and whether or not she had a basis for what she said. In my own experience, on gluten, I was definitely myself, but my view of the world was out of whack. I was depressed, more emotional (too emotional, really), hyper-sensitive, and I didn't have enough energy to invest in...

Leah, I don't know... nor do I know how I would find out... do you have any ideas?

All, Last weekend my husband and i went out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Something I ate must have been contaminated because, by the time we got home, I felt ill, was teary, and had D. Now, nearly four days later I'm still feeling off. Last night was the worst and I'm wondering if it could have been gluten-induced. (Because, like some others...

Thank you both. I really appreciate your feedback and support!!!

Hello All, I was diagnosed with celiac disease in June 2005 and adopted the gluten-free diet immediately. My symptoms immediately got worse. I had D all day and was soon diagnosed with microscopic colitis. Before I was diagnosed with celiac, I lost arond 12-15 lbs and I've only gained 2-5 back. I am 5'7" and weigh 126 lbs. I have some fat on me, but...

hi All, Thanks for the replies. Monica, you asked my height/weight. I'm 5'7" and weigh about 125 lbs.

Thank you, Thomas. It's strange how reassuring your words are, but they are. I appreciate them.

Hello All, I'm writing here because I feel like some of you may understand what just happened to me. I am at work and a co-worker who started working me in September said, "you look really thin these days. Have you lost weight?" As best as I can tell, I have not. My weight seems to bob up and down, never gaining or losing more than 2 lbs, no matter...
