ARCHIVED I'm Confused, Have Questions
chrissy replied to mom-to-claire's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
allergy testing can be pretty unreliable in children that young-----so can celiac testing. have you considered that she might have acid reflux? -
ARCHIVED My Enterolab Tests Are In..
chrissy replied to mandyann's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

ARCHIVED Telling The Difference Between Celiac's And A Stomach Bug
chrissy replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
since you know what your normal reaction to gluten is, and this is totally different, i'd guess it is not a gluten reaction. -
ARCHIVED My Enterolab Tests Are In..
chrissy replied to mandyann's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
we've just been discussing this on another thread. it seems that just about EVERYONE who tests with enterolab is going to test positive for 2 gluten intolerant genes. that only guarantees that your son will have at least one gene(based on your test alone)---which does not gurantee that he will have a problem with gluten----unless you have complete faith... -

ARCHIVED Hip Pain?
chrissy replied to hannahsue01's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
that sounds familiar to me!!! i first had hip problems with my second pregnancy----i would sometimes limp because of the pain. during my 5th pregnancy both hips hurt when i walked for about 2 months. it carried on for some time (years) after my pregnancies. i think it is probably not celiac related (i don't have celiac). it is probably just your... -
ARCHIVED Should I Get Other Dd's Tested?
chrissy replied to ptkds's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
i'd do the blood test if it were me. it is just a simple blood draw and the results come back pretty quick. i tested my whole family after we suspected one of the girls might have celiac---and we discovered that 3 of them actually have it. my oldest son has more symptoms than all 3 of the girls combined-----and he does not have celiac. there are other... -

ARCHIVED Nutrimill Grain Mill - Anyone Use One Of These?
chrissy replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
i have a nutrimill. i had some trouble with it at first and the company was WONDERFUL to work with. they ended up sending me a new mill-----and the problem may have just been my own lack of understanding as to how the mill should have been working. they called me and said they wanted to test the new one before they sent it out, so they wanted to know what... -

ARCHIVED Who Knows What Their Genes Are?
chrissy replied to Rachel--24's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
in a nutshell, dr. fine seems to think that almost the entire world is genetically susceptible to gluten intolerance??? i have a hard time buying that one. it seems like alot of people are spending alot of money to get an answer they can almost count on 100% if they do enterolab tests. why bother testing? -
