    Thanks, I'm very glad to go back to gluten-free. I was lucky I did not need to eat it very long to prep. And yeah... I don't know why some people just choose to go gluten-free! I would never do it if it weren't for having Celiac.

    Thanks everyone. Got the endoscopy today showing mild villous blunting. Biopsy results in 5-7 days.

    Update: for most accurate results, I am eating one piece of white wheat bread a day and am hating the symptoms. Less than two weeks until the endoscopy so I'm hanging in there.

    I'm not really sure what causes it, but I know mine get better after I go running.

    Update: Gemini, you were right! I went to the GI doctor today. I'm still getting scoped to check out the damage (but I won't need to go back on gluten--that IS NOT happening!), but she said there's nothing else that can cause those numbers.

    I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's skin causing her pain. If you haven't yet, take her to a dermatologist, it could be something like eczema. I get itchy skin from gluten but no rash, and my sister, who does not have Celiac does have eczema and it causes her skin to hurt very badly and itch when she doesn't treat it with special ointment and cream. It...

    Hi everyone, Due to poor bone health and high blood work, I am suspected to have Celiac's (a few more weeks and I will be back in the States to complete testing!). Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone had success stories about regaining bone density? My nephrologist says this will happen, and I trust her, but I would like to hear what anyone here did...

    If Norway is anything like its next-door neighbor, Sweden, you should be OK. My relatives were recently in a smaller Swedish town (not Stockholm) and said there was a wide selection of gluten-free at most grocery stores, gluten-free bakeries everywhere, gluten-free options at many restaurants, they said it was even better than their selection in the Pacific...

    Waitwhathm, great to hear you are finding some products--cool that you found chicken like that! Kudos to you being proactive and finding products online and cooking. Just know you're not alone. I'm in a similar boat to you (Russia, ordered off gluten a week before leaving). I miss eating out too. If you haven't already, look for Tamari sauce (soy...

    Happy news to hear of your daughter's drastic improvements! You must be a proud mom!

    Thanks Gemini--you're right, I told a doctor a few years ago I had issues sometimes with wheat and they blew it off and told me that I was eating too much fiber. Thanks for the advice, I will get those tested ASAP when I get home. Yes thyroid medication is a miracle but only in the correct dose!! Wow, your poor niece. Surprisingly, I'm the (tentatively...

    Thank you Gemini! I'll look through these. I had already bought my plane ticket so I went for it!

    cyclinglady, great idea. I find the people here are generally helpful (they just don't understand cross contamination) so I'll try that.

    If you're ok with some sugar from vegetables, carrots and Bolthouse Farms blue cheese yogurt dressing is one of my favorite gluten-free snacks.

    And any other replacement suggestions are appreciated! I'm looking through the coping forums for ideas.
