    Go gluten-free as a group if you can m

    No problems for me with garlic. Had a Easter brunch with eggs and bacon. Skipped the bagels, but my wife made a quinoa salad, 7 hour roasted tomatoes, and gluten-free bread and muffins. With mimosas, God was very good. Easter blessings

    Might be nitrates. They are carcinogens in any case. We eliminated them from our diet years ago. Look for nitrate free meats. They cost a small bit more and don't last quite as long, but you get what you pay for.

    Thanks, Laura. I have not used it, as I just got diagnosed right after New Year's. Thanks for their tip.

    Thanks, Laura, it was a Cantina Laredo. Also, if you are in far north Dallas (well, really Denton, but it is basically a Dallas suburb now), Hannah's Off the Square has a great gluten-free menu, and is one of our favorite restaurants in the U.S. We try to hit it every time we drive from Omaha to Houston to visit our daughter and son-in-law.

    There is a decent Mexican place in terminal D with corn tortilla items. Soup at La Bon Pain (there are at least two at the airport), If you are an American Express cardholder, you might try the Centurion Lounge, also in terminal D, with food, including salads, from Chef Fearing, who owns one of the best restaurants in Dallas, which also has gluten-free dishes...

    Blessings to you and your son.

    Cleaning up after your sandwiches, etc. Should be fine. As to restaurants, some pizza and pasta joints are the best around. As to,Pizza, Pie Five, Godfather's, Pizza Hut and Uncle Maddio's are great. The various Spaghetti Factory variants usually have good gluten-free entrees. It is the fast food joints that are the hardest to deal with. Kudos to you for...

    Almost four months in, I can tell you it does get easier. I am blessed my wife, after reading "Wheatbelly", went gluten free as well. We cook a lot more of our lunches than we used to, but you find good gluten-free restaurants pretty quickly. It is just fast food on the road that I struggle with. Keep the faith.

    Yes. I have not returned to weightlifting, but within a couple weeks of going gluten free, my stamina for walking went up incredibly. I do a minimum of 35 minutes a day, but on vacation soon after changing diet, I was walking for up to 3 hours a day. It is such a blessing to feel good again.
  11. Jays911
    BLesser Mommy, you are right. The only real problems I have are with fast food. There are plenty of options at sit down restaurants or at home.

    I guess I am blessed. I was diagnosed with celiac three months ago, and my wonderful wife just decided on her own to go gluten free along with me. I have repeatedly told her she doesn't have to, but she is totally supportive. Most folks I know are good as well, although I ate at a restaurant in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska today, and when I asked if the soup...

    Get tested. It was the best thing (other than my marriage and my conversion to Catholicism) I ever did. If you are celiac or gluten intolerant, your life will change. Major league blessings.
  14. Jays911
    Agreed. Get tested, but stay the course on gluten until then. If it is celiac, changing your diet thereafter will be a fame changer.

    My Gi doc initially told me he thought I was "clean", but two days later told me I definitely had celiac. I hope this is the final,resolution you and your son deserve. Even if it isn't celiac, think about going gluten free. I feel so much better since I did. Blessings.

    Jerky, Kind bars, Nutthins, mixed nuts.

    All I know is that two GPs and two gastroenterologists failed to diagnose my celiac over a 10 year period, while a great endriconologist found it on the first visit. Yes, I have had longstanding thyroid issues, but, in retrospect, that should have prompted a more thorough look at other autoimmune issues. But they didn't look.
  18. Jays911
    Is the Doctor an endriconologist? If not, find a good one.

    All I can tell you is that, after what I suspect were years of undiagnosed celiac (now confirmed), my life has improved Immensely. My years of depression and worry are gone. My body glows, and my family is so relieved. Do I miss crusty bread? Sure, but there are plenty of options. Life isn't perfect, but take the path. You will not regret it.

    The only issue with a colonoscopy is the prep, and it is no more than a mild inconvenience. The upper GI is a total piece if cake.

    I am a whiskey guy. No problems with bourbon. Anyone have problems with Rye?
  22. Jays911
    It was only a few days before I felt much better. I have been gluten free for about a month and a half now, and I can truly say it is the best I have felt in my life.
  23. Jays911
    Never a problem for me if I avoid beer. Vodka or gin and tonic is great. Most whiskies are fine. I stay away from Rye, though.
  24. Jays911
    Welcome to our world. The symptoms can vary so much. Get the testing. If this is celiac,, the change in diet will be amazing. Blessings.
  25. Jays911
    Go. And don't be afraid. Do you have any other autoimmune issues? If so, I would be surprised if you don't have celiac. I was diagnosed on New Year's Eve. I changed my diet, and almost overnight my life has changed for the better. No more depression, no more coughing, no more intestinal upset, no more snoring (my wife U.S. amazed Andre thankful), no more...
