    You should be able to slowly reintroduce dairy at this point if your problem is lactose intolerance. If you have a milk protein (usually casein, but occasionally whey) intolerance, then you might not be able to reintroduce--now or ever. If you follow cyclinglady's schedule and can't even get past the hard cheeses (cheese is almost all casein with very little...

    I buy beans and seeds from Edison Grainery. Certified gluten-free, awesome quality and the owner's wife is celiac. :-) Open Original Shared Link

    My son is twelve and undiagnosed, but all his GI symptoms and malabsorption issues resolved when he went gluten-free, so, at the very least, he is NCGS (I believe, though, that he's celiac). He's been glutened twice with very small amounts of cc. His original symptoms were chronic constipation; now, when he gets glutened, he has three days of watery (and...

    Melli, I was referring to gut symptoms. If your gut symptoms go away after three months on a stringent gluten-free diet, I would say you know you either have celiac or NCGS. Either way, you'd need to adhere to a strict gluten-free diet. Me, I wouldn't put myself through a gluten challenge if it wasn't absolutely necessary. Best of luck to you!

    I think the challenge you do first is to eat as stringently gluten-free as a celiac would (mostly whole foods--vegetables, fruits, meats) supplemented by only certified gluten-free additions. If that hasn't helped after three months or so,then maybe go for the gluten challenge. It doesn't sound like you're being as careful as you could be. Maybe just careful...

    Thank you!! I'll let my mom know. :-)

    Thank you! Would you suggest she get *all* those tests? (I'm wondering since it says the last one has largely been replaced by the DGP test.) I just want to make sure I'm pointing her in the right direction.

    My mother wants to get tested for celiac, but will only go to her GP. He doesn't seem to be terribly knowledgeable about celiac, and I'm afraid he won't be familiar with the appropriate tests to order. I'd like her to go in knowledgeable and forearmed with the correct information. So...what *are* the appropriate tests for celiac?

    If you're reacting to corn-derived products, then I would say you're very sensitive (I'm very sensitive, too). I wouldn't bother to test further. Give up all corn and corn-derived products (this can include soaps and personal care products--these you might want to test to determine your degree of tolerance). You may also find you have problems with supplements...

    Yup, that sounds like histamine. Try the Low Histamine Chef's website as well as her FB group (Low Histamine, Closed For Privacy). Lots of good information there. :-)

    I've heard Alessio Fasano allude several times to the prolonged length of time it can take for someone to start having symptoms again after they've completely healed and then been exposed to gluten. He seems to imply that it can take months (and several glutenings) for someone to start showing reactions again once they've completely healed. In Gluten Freedom...
