    I have a total of six children, three who have Celiac. My oldest (30 years old) was recently diagnosed. She is very unhappy about it to put it mildly. I have a feeling my youngest daughter (24) will be next, though she is in complete denial and refuses to get the test done. Living with Celiac disease really doesn't bother me. It's a royal pain when going...

    My 13 year old son, two adult daughters and myself have Celiac. My husband and 18 year old son do not. It's been an ongoing debate with us. Can a non-celiac person who follows a gluten-free diet, develop gluten sensitivity? So they follow our gluten-free diet, but on ocassion eat gluten. Can they develop gluten sensitivity? I think gluten sensitivity is a...

    Geeze I almost forgot about the outside grill, duh. Thanks for the reminder. Ennis, good idea with the butcher paper, its cheap and easy cleanup. ?

    We are staying in a cabin for a week. It is fully stocked with food, spices, kitchen supplies, everything you might have in your own kitchen at home. It is only used maybe three months out of the year. I am bringing my own kitchen stuff (skillets, serving spoons, bowls etc) and of course our own food. I am wondering what else I need to do to avoid cross contamination...

    Awesome you found your triggers! My niece is on the diet you mentioned. Keyto I think. I fibd the pain follows before or after abdominal rumbling and moved down as the day passed. It def hurts way down low on the left when a bm is coming. If it keeps up Ill have my doc refer me to a GI. Thanks for your input. ?

    I forgot to ask if you have the off and on stabbing pains with your UC.

    Celiac wasn't enough, your body had to throw in UC. Ugg. I will keep a good diary starting now. I never had this problem before, which is why I'm wondering if the constant expose to the cooking oil where I work is the problem. I did end up with the other symptom of being glutened, the worst migraine I've had in years.

    I know that feeling, racking your brain trying to figure out what you are. It can be maddening! Even worse for you that your symptoms vary. Very frustrating.

    I got up today feeling horrible. Super tired, no energy at all, cold, weak. Took my hubby to his appointment. I had to go to the bathroom, a normal b.m., but with blood. An hour later I got off and on stabbing pains below my ribs to my belly button. No pattern to them at all. My upper abdominal area seems very noisy, and that's usually when the pain happens...

    LOL, that might put it into perspective if I explain it that way.

    We have gone gluten free, our whole house, as of a month ago. It was pretty seamless since I had been gluten-free for 5 months last year. I have found many good recipes, and my picky husband and one of my boys who is also a picky eater, even prefer many gluten-free recipes to the regular ones. My husband did see my point about the size of the gluten protein...

    Ennis, it is made out of metal, coated with plastic I think. You have such a hard time, my heart really hurts for you. But you are such a support to those on this board, and a great teacher for those of us who are new.

    Thanks everyone! I think its hard for people to fully accept because they cant see the damage it does every time you get glutened. It's invisible. Im glad to know I wasnt being paranoid. I sure was when I was first diagnosed. I laugh at myself now, but its a pretty steep learning curve.

    I was diagnosed about a month ago. I have mild symptoms...itchy spots and diarrhea a few times, when I eat gluten. I don't seem to be very sensitive when I have eaten gluten. My daughter with Celiac has more severe symptoms. My 11-year-old with Celiac has no symptoms. My husband thinks I have gone overboard buying new pans, replacing wooden and plastic cooking...

    My daughter was recently diagnosed, and her doctor agreed, Celiac could very well be the cause for her recurrent miscarriages. She is very excited to have found the problem. Looks like you are on the way to success! Whoohoo!

    It sounds like you were beyond miserable. But you found the solution! or whatever reason wheat just throws your body for a loop, so avoiding it like the plague seems to be working. I know you might need for a doctor to positively diagnose you with Celiac, but maybe it just doesnt fit into a neat little box to be considered Celiac. It sounds like something...

    I forgot to ask, do you have family members who have RP! if so, you can usually base how fast your vision loss will progress on their vision loss. Not always, but I've heard that is the general rule. Most people don't lose their vision entirely until they are in their 60's or 70's. Just something that popped into my head.

    Since I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, we had our two youngest (ages 11 and 16) tested. Our 16 year old is fine, our 11 year old had a high IgA but all the other tests were normal. Except he is anemic. Honestly, my brain hurts trying to figure this all out. I never did figure my own out. His doctor, who we love, says he thinks he is at risk for one day...

    Alex, are you serious about your depression slowly going away? If its not too personal, have you stop taking medications now? I've suffered from depression all of my life, even as a baby, according to several of my aunts and my mom. My depression is "treatment resistant", meaning medications don't work well, occasionally not at all. I added Deplin a year...

    Im so sorry :'( My husband, boys, brother-in-law, father-in-law, my husband's uncle...all have RP. Eighty percent of my husbands side of the family have it. No one had Celiac disease though so I cant help with that idea. Sadly they have disproved the vitamin A treatment saying it works minimally in some people, not at all in others. I can tell you something...

    The external pockets are a great idea. That and getting him gluten free snacks solves the whole problem. I agree with kids knowing how to take care of their own issues. He has Autism, and we are still working on having him pay attention when we are out as he tends to just mosey along, not paying attention or walk into the street. He would wander off when...

    LOL!!

    Everyone on this board is wonderful! Thank you so much or your help. I'm going with what you guys say, and I will share what you said with my husband. I see there are a few places I can relax in, and replace the other things, which won't be so expensive. Thank you!!!
