    Oh Sarah, I can definitely relate ! I also wish I had a diagnosis but, just like you said, I'll stick to the diet as long as I feel better! I'm also really trying to go strictly gluten-free now but I think I keep unknowingly glutening myself pretty much all the time! I had to eat out a lot this weekend and although I ordered stuff that looked gluten-free...

    All right, so I guess butter's off limits now until I'm stable enough to experiment some more !

    Thank you everyone for your help! It just sounds so complicated (the diet) :-(. I try and be more careful/specific next time. However, I'm feeling better now.

    I don't do well with dairy. However, I read that butter is not on the same boat as other dairy for dietary purposes. The reason is that the ingredients in dairy that cause allergies and intolerances are proteins and sugars, both of which butter doesn't contain because it's pure fat. That way we should react to it to any other fat/oil. So I'm wondering it...

    I got sick yesterday after eating out in a Mexican restaurant. I tried to be very careful with my selection but got really bloated after dinner. It's still going on today, after 14 hours since the meal. Could anyone help me figure out what' went wrong? I ate about 2 corn chips with salsa Had chicken fajitas with corn tortillas, mexican rice (it was yellow...

    Roxie, I think your weight gain is a sign of your intestines healing. Now again you're able to absorb nutrients and if your diet is high in calories it might lead to weight gain. I understand you're eating healthy but it's possible to gain weight even on a healthy diet. I'm wondering, what exactly do you eat? Did you replace a lot of your bread with gluten...

    HAK1031, thanks for the explanation! I think I'm more likely to be just "plain intolerant" so it wouldn't show up anyway.

    Oh no, I hope you feel better soon!

    Janet, I believe that dyslexia actually can be diagnosed at this age. My sister was diagnosed at the age of 6 and because of the early diagnosis she was able to get over it. But I agree with your that it might be too early for other diagnoses such as ADD. I hate to see so many parents putting their children on medication instead of just giving them the care...

    HAK1031, I am curious about your testing, especially the gene test. Is that something that can be done through a regular lab (and thus covered by insurance)? Did your gastroenterologist prescribe this test? My bloodwork and endo were negative but I responded well to the diet so I'm curious if I could still have celiac...

    Hi Shannon, I don't know much about celiac symptoms in kids so I can't offer any help here. However, what caught my attention was when you said that your dd will turn 18 into 81. I was wondering if by any chance your dd is left-handed? Because this really reminded me of my sister when she was that age. She's left-handed and she was diagnosed with a mild...

    I've been diagnosed with IBS after a colonoscopy back in 04 but I had symptoms since I was a teenager (and my mom told me that even as a child I had "poor" digestion and suffered from constipation). My symptoms were (and still are) bloating, constipation, cramps, fatigue, and knee pain (for which I have been treated separately). After my IBS diagnosis I've...

    mamaw - thanks, I've also heard wonderful things about Italy when it comes to gluten-free stuff. I'm just concerned about how much a little store in the mountains would carry... but I will bring my own safe foods just to keep it safe. And a dictionary is a great idea! lizard00 - I'm really skeptical about those translation services, I've tried them before...

    I am going to Italy soon but I don't speak Italian. I've been there before (back before the diet) and I know that I can't always rely on people speaking English, especially when I have to explain something complicated in detail. We'll be staying in the mountains in a small, family-owned hotel. There is supposedly a small grocery store within a few kilometers...

    Thanks everyone, I'll look for the book. I use a Zojirushi bread maker and the pan that comewith with it. I'll also probably chicken out and buy a mix first and that way I can see what the consistency is supposed to look like, etc However, I would much appreciate it if someone could write down a recipe that really worked for them. Thanks!

    I used to love baking breads from scratch but when I tried making gluten-free bread it turned out horrible! I followed various recipes I found on the internet. Does anyone have a recipe for sandwich bread that's light and fluffy? Also, is the dough supposed to be tough (unlike wheat bread)? I used enough xanthan gum but it didn't seem to stick well. Help...

    Thanks for your responses . However, I'm a bit confused now. If it takes awhile for the symptoms to go away, how about the other way? I mean, for the fructose I have to watch which foods bother me. So is it possible that for example I eat an apple but don't get sick until 3 days later? That way it's hard to determine what made me sick

    Hi everyone, a week ago I had my blood tests and an endoscopy done - all negative. I was suspecting gluten sensitivity before so I tested going gluten-free for about 2 weeks. It seemed to work fine but I had to go back on gluten for the tests and I got worse again within 3 days. Now I've been gluten-free for a couple of days again but it seems like the...
