    Hi Maureen, I have 16 year old son whose vegan (I'm vegetarian) who has suffered from sadness most of his life. My hubby and I could never figure it out...we have a good life...vacations...stable home but he always was sad. Now that he is gluten free he has improved immensely!!

    I can totally relate to the antibiotic trigger. Not only did it spiral my health, it also affected my son. After a very strong dose of antibiotics for bronchitis we both could not eat anything without major diarrhea. We went on the Brat diet and that includes toast...big mistake. For 4 months we couldn't go anywhere or eat anything. We both lost weight. I...

    You should avoid sugar...yeast thrives on it! My son and I had a coating that was quite thick before we realized what was wrong with us. Taking probiotics will also help...they crowd out the bad bacteria. I know what it's like dealing with family I come from a Italian family whose life revolves around food! Not only do I eat gluten free but I'm also...

    My son who's 16 will be studying to become a doctor at the U of B.C. He probably already has more knowledge than most doctors about celiac. The frustrations him and I have been through have definietly been a driving force on which type of doctor he wants to become. Our family doc thinks we're crazy...you can see it in her eyes. She even said have you...

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and have found it to be very helpful. I have read through many threads and have learned a great deal on how to deal with such a limiting diet. I have found the support and advice you give each other very helpful. As I think back on my health, I realize I've had a problem with gluten my whole life. Doctors said it was...yes...

    I get a itchy rash mainly on my calves, behind my knees, torso and chest when I accidently ingest gluten. It gets really nasty. It's like my body is trying to expel the gluten out through my skin. lol Hang in there...you'll get through it!!

    Hi, new to the forum. My 16 year old son and I are gluten sensitive. Haven't been diagnosed celiac, but have sent for Enterolab test. I usually have a burning feeling in my lower abdomen after I've accidentally ingested gluten. I will then have diarrhea for the day and have to take immodium to get back on track. My symptoms usually last a day but can be longer...

    Hi, I'm new to this forum. My 16 year old son and I are both gluten sensitive. Whole family has been gluten free since March 2005. Just wanted to add a gluten free bakery I found in Calgary. It's in Marda loop and called Earth's oven. They have the best bread and sweets. You can also order pecan or pumpkin(THE BEST!) pie for Thanksgiving, Easter or Christmas...

    Hi, sorry I'm new to this site. My son and I are both celiac and are travelling to Oahu in March. We've never been there but have travelled safely to other countries and just ate what we knew wouldn't contain gluten. To be on the safe side we have rented a house for our stay and I wish I didn't have to cook on holiday but it's the only way I feel safe. I...
