Definitely... that's what I was thinking too- the gluten-free diet will be the tell tale sign that gluten was causing those symptoms.

My daughter (10 ms) was tested because of unexplained diarreah and weight loss. My son and I have both been diagnosed so we got her tested as well but her test results show that the full panel were all negative- totally normal range. BUT my daughter has had very limited exposure to glutens so my question is- do the numbers go up the more exposure there...

yum... got the chocolate almondy torte last night when we went to Ikea- thanks for the heads up!

I can't even believe that the night sweats that I've been having for 3 years are Celiac related! I haven't gone gluten-free yet because I have an endoscopy on the 31st but this is one major symptom that has been plaguing me (and my poor husband who I share a sweat soaked bed with ). I love how the more that I read all of your experienced, the more "AHA...

I don't know whether having all this information is helpful or dangerous (to me and my butt)

Vincent- your sick funny... but sick... Wow- thanks for so much info everyone!

This is our first "food holiday" since being diagnosed. I keep seeing all kinds of tempting Easter candy everywhere- especially on sale and want to stock up for Sage's Easter basket. He was also invited to an egg hunt where all the kids are to bring 12 filled eggs- I was thinking that I would put a special sticker on the outside of his 12 eggs and those...

oh wow- thank you so much everyone... your words are comforting and encouraging. We had a great meeting yesterday with the nutritionist and she actually told me (based on the food diary I filled out for the past week) that he's getting enough of what he needs, and that I need to r-e-l-a-x, that it will all come in time and he'll get used to it. I...

Sage has been gluten-free for only about 3 weeks and is having a really tough time with it. He's an wreck of emotions, crying, screaming, being aggressive with his baby sister- it's almost like the emotional upset that we experienced with him 2 years ago that got him a 2 day psych eval. and a misdiagnosis of "anxiety" which I now understand in my heart was...

I work part time at a large retail bookstore in the cafe. We have baked goods, we bake cookies, we have MALT powder to make mixed coffee drinks, we have a zillion gluten containing things but this is my job... this helps to provide my family with that "little bit of extra" for the more expensive gluten-free foods that we need to buy. So- since I'm new...

Hey there! I'm so excited... we're going on our first ever family vacation in June to PA! My son who is 5 1/2 is asking every day "how much longer" and I've started the preparations to get our little family there safely and to make a trip full of lasting memories... I'm jsut worried about the food since our whole family is gluten-free (my son and...

I was on Weight Watchers before I was diagnosed. WW encourages lots of healthy fiber and whole grains, which unfortunatly for Celiac people.. that's not an option. My friend sent me this link this morning and after reading more about it I registered (free!) and chose the "Gluten Free" diet option and now I have a menu all planned out for me that's entirely...

Just in the past few weeks... I've had so many "lightbulb" moments about my sons health and my health that I could light up a friggin Christmas tree All kidding aside... I've learned just how complex this disease is and how even minute "complaints" can turn out to be small "indicators" of celiac disease. Whatever you decide to do is always in the best...

Hi Sarah... I have a newly diagnosed and equally picky 5 year old myself When we went to the store I let him pick out what he wanted... i've also been encouraging him to help me prepare the food too. For the most part, I just take the recipes that he's used to and modify them. It's hard because he hasn't been gluten-free for long enough to feel...

oh wow- thanks to all for the warm welcome Paulasimone- you're a punny girl... Dietcokehead- no R.O.C.K. group but there is another kind of support group close by, I just need to get in touch nini- I'll email you- thank you... and thanks for reminding me to focus on the positive taweavmo3- are you having a girl? congrats to you! ...
