What Tom said. I was in the mid 150s and dropped to the mid 130s prior to diagnosis. Clawed my way back to mid 140 and then had a setback this spring...back to 137. Over the past 2 months I've gotten back to 147, but it takes constant focus on calorie intake. 2500 wouldn't cut it for me. I make sure I have a solid breakfast, snacks during the day, an...

Can't help you with a specific store for Redbridge. However it is a Budweiser product and should be available at any good liquor store. I've also heard it is available at Wal-mart.

It's only been three weeks on the diet, try not to over-react. As others have said (and I've experienced), your body will do strange things at this stage.

Hi, Quick question. I've been receiving treatment for elbow tendinitis for the past couple weeks. In addition to the icing, streaching, and strength training, they have been treating my elbow with dexamethasone (synthetic steroid anti-inflammatory) delivered via iontophoresis (driving the drug via electrical stimulation from a patch, through the skin...

I'm new to this too. Diagnosed and gluten free in early July. Everyone has different recovery times. I've heard everything from 3 months to 2 years. What I can tell you is after only two weeks, you're still on the roller coaster.

Mostly at this point, I'm just curious. I find the autoimmune reaction interesting. As far as my diet goes, I think 7 weeks gluten-free is too soon to start tinkering with other things. I do feel better. It's just the bad days seem to happen without a cause. Which because of my personality drives me a little batty. If I'm not damaging my insides...

1) Can anyone point me to a study/paper that talks about casein intolerance and damage to intestinal villi? Is it an autoimmune reaction or a food sensitivity? 2) For those that have determined they are casein intolerant, do/did you get a reaction every time you ingested dairy? I've been on the gluten-free diet for 7 weeks. I've consumed some dairy...

Exactly. Give it time.

I think that's it as well. During my diagnosis process I had an MRI (as well as a small bowel series and a colonscopy w/biopsy in addition to the camera work and biopsy from the mouth end). While none of that will diagnois celiac (except the intestinal biopsy), it gave me piece of mind knowing there was nothing else going wrong. You can have celiac and...

So I've just finished up Week 7 post-diagnosis. By and large I'm feeling pretty good. Actually starting to put a little weight back on (only a couple pounds, but it's a start). We have been very alert about gluten exposure and I'm comfortable in saying that I've been gluten free. During the seven weeks, I've had roughly 3 bad stretches lasting a day...

Interesting. Nothing on their label really stood out to me as a potential source, but I've since moved on (based on the email I got) and gave my bottle away. Good info. Thanks.

I liked the smell too. Here is what the Aussie email said. Take it for what it's worth. I'm not trying to be purposely dense, but that means they'll say the words 'wheat', 'barley', 'rye', or 'oats'? If that's the case, that's great news. Thanks.

I was using Aussie. After diagnosis I contacted the company and they said they couldn't guarantee the ingredients were gluten-free. I don't have the email here with me, so they may have worded it slightly different, but that was the jist of it. I'll check when I get home. I'm not sure what a 'guy' shampoo is either. When I search the board for similar...

Howdy, I'm looking for a gluten-free shampoo. I'm still on the fence that this is necessary, but I figure it's one less thing to worry about, right? I utilize the Clan Thompson drug list (which includes shampoos) and I've reviewed the Delphi list (which seems a bit dated). It seems that everything that I've used in the past is in that 'unknown' category...
