Yes, Nukapai, I suppose you could say there's a profile. I believe it's more frequent in those of northern European descent. Thus the fair skin fair hair. That's what my doc said anyway. My first visit she immediately mentioned Celiac b/c of my fair complexion and red hair, and then she asked about my lineage of which I haven't a clue.

On Leno on 11/9/04 (it may have been a rerun I didn't catch the opening) Eddie Izzard, a British comedian, mentioned his gluten "allergy." Leno wanted to know what exactly it was he was allergic to and Izzard mentioned gluten. Leno had never really heard of it and Izzard said something to the effect of gluten being tiny little animals that lived in wheat...

Thanks for all the input. I think it's best that I do another trial and the sooner the better as it's the only way to know for sure if it helps. Unfortuneatly, I had just purchased about $100 worth of gluten-laden groceries for the semester. It's amazing how EVERYTHING I normally eat short of lunch meat and apple sauce might be inedible, haha. I'm going...

I went back for a 3 month checkup at the GI doc today. I finished up a monthlong Gluten abstainance in April and it was horrid. Before that, my test results were borderline in all cases.

Be sure to consider your proximity to gluten-free food when you choose a dorm...

I'm trying to find a good Italian salad dressing that is actually gluten-free. Anyone have a favorite. Preferably low fat or fat free. I've heard Kraft's is gluten-free, and then again I've heard it isn't. I used Ken's vinagarette for a while, but then I found out none of their products were gluten-free according to the company. I can't bear to eat a...

Hey, here's some more info on this pizza. Donatos says it IS gluten-free, but there's a risk of contamination. So I guess it's a personal decision depending on how severe your reactions are and how risky those of us with few symptoms are willing to be... Also, I included all the ingredients below b/c I'm kinda new to this so maybe there are some hidden...
