    I also had a negative biopsy, but positive bloodwork. The "gold standard" isn't so gold anymore. Now the most sensitive test for celiac seems to be the tissuetransglutaminase Ttg level in your blood. Mine was three times as much as it should be and an expert in Utah told me that something must have been misread or mistaken in my biopsy. With a level that...

    I just went to IHOP and the corn pancakes are NOT gluten free. They have flour in them. I asked before I ordered. I figured it would need some flour to make them fluffy with the cornmeal. Kerri

    Sounds great, thanks for the info. FYI IHOP puts pancake batter in their eggs. Who would have thought. Be careful when ordering eggs. Kerri

    I am in a similar boat! I have also been gluten-free for a year and every now and then I get pretty sick. Maybe just unknown contamination, but could be another allergy that I am not aware of. I had a positive blood test, but negative biopsy. My dad also has celiac. My endocrinologist has discovered hyperthyroid and hypoglycemia. I have researched...

    Thanks for the great info.! There is no telling where I got the stuff. I am not active at this time and I need to get on the INH treatment real soon! Kerri

    Just found out from the manufacturer of the PPD Tuberculin skin test that there is no guarantee that is does not contain gluten. They had me give them a report with all my information to have on record. I had a reaction with reddness, itchy blisters and the infamous "bump". They retested me on the other arm and I had a worse reaction. Could be just a...

    Hello, Just wanted to share with you that I have been gluten-free for a year and I have had hypoglycemic issues. My endocrinologist says that it may be all the rice I am eating now. I eat rice noodles, rice cakes, puffed rice cereal (without malt of course). Just letting you know that rice will cause your sugar to drop suddenly and just as someone said...

    I am the same way with the post gluten-free diet ingestion of gluten. More severe symptoms now that I have been gluten-free. Agree with the induldging. You almost have to so you will not even want to look at the stuff again. It was donuts for me and I was sick for three weeks after having been gluten-free for 6 months. kerri

    Yeah, I really miss donuts and pizza the most. I have two children and it is hard when they are enduldging in those things. Six months into the gluten-free diet, I ate a donut. Sick Sick Sick for THREE weeks!!! I am glad I did it though. People bring donuts to work all the time and now I feel sick if I just smell them because of what happened. Kerri

    I agree with you on the Lame Advertisement prices. Crazy!! I too sent an email to maybelline and they sent me a list of ingredients to look for in all cosmetics (not just maybelline) that could contain a harmful gluten-containing grain or even oats. If you do not get this list, let me know and I will send it to you. Kerri

    I have been gluten free for a year and have had the disease for about the past 20 years of my life. I am 34 now. I was experiencing palpitations and shortness of breath just like you described and it turned out I have hyperthyroidism (which is another autoimmune disorder and sometimes these are all related). I am taking a medicine now to calm down my thyroid...

    I tried one of the bars and it was okay. I did notice the maltodextrin in the ingredients which is most likely corn based, but you cannot be sure. Kerri

    Sounds like we are in the same boat! I have had "IBS" symptoms for about 15 years. Diagnosed with celiac a year ago, blood test positive, biopsy neg. I recently have had to see an endocrinologist for racing heart/palpitations and turns out I have hyperthyroid. My sugars have been dropping and the dr. is suspecting diabetes, but he also mentioned with...
