    When I went gluten free, the nasal stuffiness I've had all my life went away and I've had no more sinus infections. So the diet IMPROVED my sinus problems. I wouldn't think a" gluten free diet" could contribute to hay fever at all ----

    Yes, it is normal to have sore throat after endo----- I'm surprised they didn't tell you that. And it's possible to have sore tummy, etc. All should resolve shortly--- if not, give the doc a call.

    I just got an email today from" About.com Celiac disease" that said gluten molecules were too large to be absorbed into the skin.

    I'm thinking I might go for the gene testing since I am allergic to wheat and can't do the eating gluten thing. I really would like to know if I have the genes. I certainly have a suspicious family history for celiac----I've had abd. cramps, bloating, and "gurgling" intestines since I was 18. My son has had recurrent mouth ulcers since childhood-...

    It is not healthy to strain during a bowel movement---- especially if you hold your breath at the same time---- and especially if you have any heart problems -------------- so stop it ! (Nursing 101)

    I have facial numbness and tingling, a few muscle twitchings, a couple of muscle spasms to my feet (scarey! ) numbess and weakness to arms, legs, tingling all over, . Some dizziness and some ditziness-- These symptoms come and go. I'm not a diagnosed Celiac--- I have a major wheat allergy for sure, numbers off the chart ! !!--- I went...

    For snacks, you might want to stick with ONLY raw veggies (carrot sticks work well ) and fruit--- And prunes -- NO baked goods----- and lots of water----

    Yes, tell them you have many food allergies and you will bring your own lunch to be safe. Everyone can relate to "food allergies"------ whereas Celiac disease will boggle their mind, Keep it simple !

    Has your thyroid function been tested lately? weight gain, joint pain, depression, hair loss , overheated, low energy ----- can be signs of hypothyroidism----

    "Word gets around" about what ??? A med student wants to be tested for Celiac ??? There is no problem here that I can see. Give the doctors some credit for having empathy for a med student---- they were once one. I worked closely with doctors for 20 years, and just like all people. some are good , some are bad. Pick a good one...... As a...

    Hi Jenny, I am praying for you....... May God sustain you by his everlasting love ---

    Another question that we might ask ourselves is WHY ARE WE SO WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THE DOCTOR THINKS ????????? If not for all us sick folks, they could not buy their new boats, and new sports cars, new vacation homes, etc. etc. etc. WE ARE THEIR PAYCHECK--- They should greet us at the door with hugs, and coffee and donuts. Here's what I...

    Gluten FREE baked goods (bread, buns, pizza crusts, cookies, cakes, bagels, etc) are HIGH carb foods---- so are potatoes and rice, ice cream, etc. You will have NO trouble finding HIGH carb foods. They are everywhere ! But I don't know why high carbs are good for prancreatitis----- ???????? I'll have to look that one up .

    Hi, First suggestion------ Don't be scared---- only makes EVERYTHING worse. Second suggestion----- to help with feeling overwhelmed----- Let this be your mantra " I will take one day at a time " , then pursue every avenue to wellness, but understand that it may take a while to sort everything out. Do go ahead and see the hematologist that...

    I know gene testing isn't used to diagnose celiac. BUT----- Here's a quote from Dr. Peter HR Green, MD : "As celiac disease is in the genes,it will remain in the genes of families forever.... " my children are negative " is a common refrain. One should also add "for now" because Celiac disease can appear at any age in people who are negative in testing...

    Gluten in Parsley????????????????????????? It's hard to get "good help" these days.

    Hi folks, I am weary of sitting at this computer researching everything on Celiac disease I've got a LIFE ---- I need to be living it . HA ! But I am such the CURIOUS person----" Leave no stone unturned," so to speak -------- So, those of you who have already done the research on the gene testing,---- tell me what value is it in determining...

    Going strictly gluten free may be a good idea for you since you have to be wheat free anyway------ Snack ideas: gluten-free muffins raisens, dates, dried figs, nuts sunflower seeds celery stalks with peanut butter rice crackers and cheese or peanut butter plain sugar free yogurt (add your own fresh fruit ) apple slices and...

    Yep--- I like my empty calorie junk food rice chexs with cinnamon sprinkled over and with blueberries and milk------- Makes a nice little snack--- But I can't eat them often---- too many carbs for me !

    If you were eating turkey bacon, some of those can have gluten, I think. My vote would be for the milk as the culprit -------- or you might be coming down with a "bug"----

    Have you been checked for diabetes ?? UTI's and slow healing wounds, fatigue, are some symptoms you have that could be diabetes. As for the gluten issues---- if you must avoid wheat (as I must ) it's just as easy to be gluten free as wheat free. And that way you cover all your bases.

    Blood in the stool is a red flag to have yourself checked. This is not " normal " for any condition except perhaps bleeding hemorrhoids. And that would need to be checked also. Upper GI bleeding will appear as "coffee grounds" when you vomit. But it can be black and tarry when it passes with the stool. Lower GI bleeding can be red, bloody looking...

    Good luck on finding one without sugars---- I used Duke's because it was sugar free---- then switched to Hain's safflower mayo because it was SOY free---- but they have honey and cane juice in it. And frankly Duke's tasted a lot better than theirs. I sent them (Hain) an email telling them that I was pleased their mayo is SOY free--- but couldn...
