    For micro-exsposures (generally happens when I visit gluten-full friends) I get a rosacea flare up. My cheeks are bright, bright red. Full blown exposure (which only takes a few crumb) triggers a response after an hour or two. Gastrointestinal Distress. Cramps. Less pleasant stuff. That goes on for about 6-8 hours. Constant for the first hour or so and...

    There might be a correlation because I started having problems with tendinitis and bursitis around the same time I was diagnosed. I think the inflammation is what exasperates the problems. Accidental exposures and cumulative micro-exposures prolong the problems. Try adding more anti-inflammatory foods and teas into your diet.

    As a Catholic who is fairly well-educated in her faith, let me explain. The bread must be made from wheat and the wine from grapes. This is because of the symbolism of the wheat grain and grapes are from clusters. It's a from many, one symbolism. We are unique, yet unified in God. We are separate beings in a particular time and place, and yet unified during...

    Thanks TexasJen. As a Catholic with Celiac Disorder, I was dismayed at the over-reaction to the Vatican's announcement. Unfortunately many Catholics are not educated in the faith and do not fully understand the dogma or symbolism behind the rituals. The Eucharist is about trasubstantiation and transubstantiation is about being spiritually present. In...

    Yes. You have to be 100% gluten abstinent when you have Celiac Disorder. It gets easier to be gluten abstinent, not because you get used to it but because of the negative effects that ingesting gluten causes when you accidentally eat something with gluten. Nothing tastes good enough to go through a glutening. As your system heals it will become less...

    Wheat/gluten will not bother a Celiac unless it's ingested. Wheat-free cosmetics/hair care products are necessary for people with wheat allergies--which is completely different from a Celiac problem. If you want to switch as a precaution, that's up to you, but I have been a gluten-abstinate, clinically diagnosed Celiac for 7 years and I have no...

    Wine will dehydrate you which will leave you with a headache. You might be having a hydration problem--which is easily fixed. Drink a glass of water between glasses of wine. Or drink a glass of water (or 2) after drinking wine. If that doesn't fix the headaches then look for another cause.

    My re-occurring nightmare is that I have forgotten myself and eaten something with gluten--usually cake--and I am awaiting the reactions to start. Just feelings of dread and anxiety. I wake up all upset and then remind myself that it was a bad dream and I haven't eaten anything.

    Is the child seeing a reputable gastroenterologist? Whether it Celiac or Chrohn's there should be a gastroenterologist involved in the diagnosis. Both disorders run in my family and the diagnosis for both usually involve a battery of fairly invasive tests--not just blood work. If none of the doctors she has seen so far are a gastroenterologist, perhaps...

    Are you certain that your salad dressing was gluten free? It's a often-forgotten culprit.
