    I don't know what all the tests are but I just wanted to wish you luck and I hope that they come up with some good answers for you. Give yourself a pat on the back for standing up to that doc who droned on about IBS! Cathy

    Hmmm, you all have certainly given me a lot to think about! I guess bottom line is that irregardless of the outcome of my biopsy, etc I am going to go back on the gluten free diet and stick to it for a good six months to see how I feel. That would be a good litmus test for me to really see how my body responds to it. The last few days I've been eating...

    When I first went on the Atkins diet a few years ago and then when I cut out gluten from my diet a month or so ago, I experienced withdrawal from the gluten! I found I was starving, not just hungry near meal times and even after I ate I felt hungry! For me it took about 2 weeks and those feelings/symptoms ceased. Now I'm normally hungry and a decent meal...

    Yes, it can be a life saver but it is a restricted diet and many people would feel it to be harsh. Of course if they were suffering they would gladly follow the diet. But let's face it, it's not mainstream (yet) and it's more expensive, requires more thought and preparation than eating all the food out there that the majority of the world eats! So, if you...

    I will have to find out more about this "full celiac panel" of tests and see what the doc says about that. Most of our symptoms are not typcial - neither of us has lost any weight - I tend to get alternating constipation with diarrhea, nausea, pain just below my sternum and on the lower left side of my abdomen, abdominal cramping that wakes me up at night...

    That is good to know Cindy because my allergist says that there is starch in it and she has a call into the drug rep to find out what specifically they mean by "starch". I'll let you know if they say anything differently. Of course it could matter which form you are taking. I take the 180mg tablets. Cathy

    Hi, I was curious about something my doctor said when I was there last week - something about my IGA being within normal range and I recall telling him that I had been trying to avoid gluten for several weeks before the test. We didn't realize it was the wrong thing to do. Anyway, I called my allergy doctor and asked her to fax me my results and this...

    Hi France, What kind of coffee? Plain coffee? There may be something else in there that is bothering you and it's not gluten. Do you add any creamer or anything? Those can have gluten. I have other food allergies so have to watch out for those too. Anyone else have issues with coffee? I can't drink it on an empty stomach but I don't suppose that is the same...

    Nilsa, I agree with you and appreciate your honesty! We have every intention of returning to the diet but I do think it is important for there to be an "official" diagnosis. I myself am not keen on doctors and have only had a couple of them during my lifetime that I trust and feel that truly listen. But this is for my son and I don't want him to have a lifetime...

    Hi Rachel, Thanks for your reply! My son isn't being tested on the 23rd, he's only going to see the Dr. for the first time. His blood test already came out negative but he had been eating gluten-free for several weeks. What we hope to accomplish by his eating gluten prior to the appointment is so the doc can see him unwell and also Joey will be able to explain...

    Hi! I'm excited to see there are folks from Massachusetts here! I'm from Western MA too - Springfield area and have just begun the testing for celiac disease. My son too. We'be been gluten free for almost a month and have felt great but now have to go back to eating gluten in order for the doc to see how sick we are and for the tests to register properly...

    Hi, I'm new on the board and very new to celiac disease! I came this way via allergies...seems that since my son was conceived and born 17 years ago (when I was 30), I developed all sorts of allergies including food allergies but I wasn't tested for them until I was 40. Not all of them showed up at the time of testing either - it seems they've been gradually...

    Hi, I find it easier just to make my own taco seasoning mix. It's simple and you know what's in it! This makes the equivilent of 1 1/4 oz package taco seasoning mix: 1 Tablespoon minced dried onions (can omit if you use fresh onions) 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tsp cornstarch (to thicken -...
