Does anyone happen to know if Target's ibuprofen inactive ingredients are gluten-free? I took two yesterday & today I have diarreah & I'm just trying to figure out if that explains it or not...The inactive ingredients are: croscarmellose sodium hydroxypropyl cellulose hydroxypropyl methylcellulose microcrystalline cellulose polyethylene glycol...

Thanks everyone. This really helps! I think I am just going to listen to my body & keep doing the diet because I feel so much better on it & then if I ever get to a point where the genetics are a factor (kids or a family member who shows symptoms), I might look into the Enterolab tests, but otherwise I think I have my answer. I really appreciate...

Hmm...this is very interesting. Thank you for sharing this info. The doctor I talked to seemed to think that my biopsy was conclusive--I just had a biopsy come back negative, but my symptoms got much better after my test when I went gluten-free & have been better for the last 2 and 1/2 weeks of gluten-free diet. I suppose it's also possible that I...

Oh well, I'm just going to try to stick to the diet anyway & see if...

Hi- I decided to write in here becuase it seems related to what you are going through. I just had an endoscopy done on nov. 7th & the doctor took several biopsies and did test for celiac sprue. I got a letter last week that just said that my biopsies were benign. So I called to find out if this also means that I did not test positive for Celiac....

Ignore this. I just realized there is an entire Forum for this topic already.

I'd just like to ask in a "poll" sort of format, about how long did it take on the gluten-free diet for you to start having what you would consider "normal" poop? I've only been on the diet for 3 days & the first two days were great/normal & then today it's back to diarreah, so I felt really upset until I read through a lot of these posts &...
