    Some studies have shown a gluten free diet can help for auto-immune disease. Doctors are now starting to recognize some patients test negative for Celiac, but when gluten is removed, noticeably improve. It seems to have a higher association for nuerological affects of gluten sensitivity. Two very good reasons to start a gluten free diet. IMO ...

    I agree, immediate change. There is a withdrawal for some individuals. Do it all at once to make it easier, just in case. Substitution foods processed gluten free foods at first don't taste or pass texture tests. Wait about four months before even trying them. Keep a stash of gluten free snacks and CANDY. You never realize how many places are...

    What do I have in common with a Panda bear? We both eat bamboo fiber. The enjoy life bread, that is allergen safe, for my daughter has bamboo fiber in it. So, I guess a gluten free diet involves having an open mind and a willingness to try new things within reason.

    Keep a very detailed food journal. I say journal, because you should also be writing down amounts and long term reactions. Bm s and behavior symptoms checks too. Some food reactions last up to 12 days (eosinphils) after the food "trigger". That's why a long term written history is critical to getting the full picture.

    The code OMGMARCH2012 is good until the end of (you guessed it) March at www.lizlovely.com

    Umm well I just ordered from Lizlovely glutenfree vegan selection. Her chocolate chip cookie tastes like cookie dough batter, so it is not my favorite. Right now there is a 15 % sale on the new gluten free cookie options. The new peanut butter ones are awesome! You can order a case and freeze them. I don't have any ties to the company, or get any...

    You have excellent advice already. Drink a glass of ice water before your meals. Put away half of the meal for when you get hungry later. Really just get your plate of food and cut it in half, push it to the side. Smell your meal before you start eating. Chew each bite slowly and thoroughly. Eating smaller portions more often really helps some people...

    Thank you for posting! This is some exciting news! Especially when my daughter was first diagnosed with EoE and the only thing medical community could say was "medical mystery".

    Like the gums in some gluten free mixes, some react to substitute flours. Check the ingredients of the cake mix for sorghum and millet flours. (Those seem to be the two common offenders.) Other than that start a food journal to narrow down any food sensitivity or source of cross-contamination.

    Dat be true!!!

    When my daughter was diagnosed the hospital dietician called and cancelled the appointment, because she knew she couldn't help us. She said to look online, that's how we ended up here at this site. We should have honorary dietician degrees. (I took a look at a college students dietician class test ~ and knew all the answers. Not a day in the...

    Kudos to you for actually trying to make a doctor learn about Celiac Disease. She will always stay "out of her depth" because she needs to open her mind to learn about Celiac. No wonder doctors don't even test for Celiac, they don't even understand the tests or results. Maybe she could go work in a clinic to swab for strep throat? Hopefully she can...

    Hi Kiddo! Enjoy your last gluten bites.

    Do a quick check into "geographic tongue" and definately look into vitamin B12

    From what you just wrote, gluten FREE makes you feel better. Why would I ever tell you to eat gluten so you can feel sick again? Unfortunately, eveyone is going to have an accidental "glutening". That's when you know for sure. It is common for some on the gluten free diet to have some constapation. You just cut out a lot of foods that were probably...

    Latest medical findings say that Eosinophilic Esophagitus and Celiac are related. New diagnoses of EoE should be screened for Celiac. Are you trying to manage the EOE with diet? If you can figure out what your food "triggers" are, and start avoiding them. Celiac diagnoses starts with a gluten free diet immediately, when testing is done. You...

    Parasitic infections have different stages. When the worm is in an younger stage it is migrating through the body. It is possible that it would reach maturity in a wrong major organ and cause damage there instead of the intended gut lining. During this time your body should respond by making Eosinophils. Eosinophils are white blood cells with (in lay...

    I think the blocked post from yesterday has me suspicious. Sorry Gfresh, didn't mean to call you a troll.

    I have been gluten free about 7 years. You really have to supplement vitamins and minerals. Gallbladder still had to be taken out 2 years ago too. Is it just me or does it seem like there has been "sales trolls" here lately?

    I just had one of those on Saturday. I did not get sick! It was a great snack for on the go!

    Very cool! Are they hiring?

    There are some that believe "no press is bad press." I would not have willingly looked at another picture of K.K. if it weren't for a flour bomb.

    My daughter was very calm and a sound sleeper. She also had a pot belly and had "D" and vommitted a lot too. She was diagnosed as probable Celiac around 16 months old from some elevations on the Celiac blood panel, a positve genetic test (DQ2 and DQ8), and she was just to sick for the endoscopy. She was later diagnosed with with Eosinophilic Esophagitus...

    We have been very happy with the Pamela's baking mix following the recie on the bag. But OMG I order from LizLovely online and her really expensive cookies (gluten free variety and all vegan) are totally awesome! She just came out with a gluten free option for the Lovely Ohs. (Like a chocolate covered oreo.) I just ordered! There is a promotional...

    One of the tests for Celiac panel is IGA. It is estimated that 30% of Celiacs are IGA deficient. That is why total IGA count should be done. When we had discrepencies in genetic testing. Prometheus labs suggested there is at least a 30% error rate for any blood testing. This is to allow for basic HUMAN error. Mistakes in the blood draw, specimen handling...
