I have been on a gluten free diet since Sept of 2005. My intestinal symptoms have vanished, but I also had to give up tomato's and anything containing citric acid (either natural or additive). My health has improved, but I used to be a really energetic person and I barely make it through a 40 hour week (I'm in the Air Force). I don't have a problem with...

Maltodextrin is ok. I picked up a subscription to the Gluten Intolerance Group Magazine and it has been very useful. Turns out a lot of stuff I initially cut were ok because of the new labeling guidelines and rules on how things are defined. Their web site is www.gluten.net, maybe you can get some back issues that talk about the new labels. The new FDA...

I justed wanted to say that I am one of those people with Non-celiac Gluten intolerance. The antibody test was negative and the biopsy taken 1 month after I went gluten free was negative (except for lymphocyte agregates). I was positive for both DQ2 and DQ8 and when I don't eat it I am fine and when I eat it I am sick. If you feel better then just keep...

I have Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance, but I also have problems with rashes. Most of them went away when I went Gluten Free. But other food intolerances cause me to have them, oranges (citric acid) and blue no. 1. I also read that DH may take a while to resolve on the gluten-free diet, but it will resolve. I worry because I have DQ2 and DQ8 meaning my...

DH, Celiac and Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance are all caused by Gluten Intolerance. The symptoms and lab test results are different but the need for the Gluten Free diet what is need for all of them. People with DH can take medications to make the symptoms decrease, but the cause is still there. I also read that even without villi damage you will still...

Growing up I was a very thin child. During junior high my parents switched us to a whole grain diet which included a lot of whole wheat. I missed 30 days of school (not in a row) due to stomach pain. We were only allowed shreaded wheat and grapenuts (only cereals with no added sugar). The doctors did upper and lower GI series and the diagnosis was teenage...

Celiac disease damages the villi in your small intestines. Lactase, the enzyme that digests lactose is producted on the ends of the villi. Your continued symptoms could be caused by lactose intolerance caused by damage to the villi. Lactose intolerance can be reversed, but may not. First you will get rid of the intestinal symptoms, but if the damage was...

-Hi just started reading this, but not the whole thing. I have non-celiac gluten intolerance. I am a Medical Technologist (run a hospital laboratory). I figured out the gluten intolerance all on my own. That is not to say that I didn't see lots of doctors along the way for lots of different problems (my medical record is on to it's 3rd volume and the...

Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C: you have to find a source other than citris fruits. Citric Acid is found naturally in citrius fruits: lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit and tangerine. I have non-celiac gluten intolerance and recently realized that food with citric acid bother my stomach and cause itching and rashes (not hives).
