Sick all my life until diagnosis Nov 2007.

Married with two children including celiac son born 1997, diagnosed at the same time.

    You have an extra challenge with the kids. It will get easier over time. I didn't do much initially but these days I go on trips even out of the country and attend social functions involving food. You just need to figure out ways to make it work.

    I was also tempted by my old favorites initially. After awhile that food lost it's appeal. You get new favoritie things to eat. Things get better.

    I am sorry that you had this problem. I hope that your daughter is feeling better. Can you please answer a question for me? Was it a colored plastic? My endodontist recently told me that it was colored materials that were most likely to contain gluten so they avoided those. This didn't make sense to me since gluten isn't colored. I had some terrible...

    This is what webMD says: Open Original Shared Link "It is important to have a doctor evaluate any bleeding in the stool." Try not to worry as you wait for your appointment. It is likely nothing serious.

    I'm sorry you got sick. It is really hard to tell what is causing a reaction, especially at first. Personally, I like removing as many possibilities as I can so that I can more easily know what the problem is. One thing that you could do is to put the melon in deep bowl and put the stretch tite over that so that it doesn't touch the melon. I hope that...

    I should have put this in my first post, but my mind wasn't working very well then. My experience with supplements was that my health improved significantly when I cut them all out. I was taking quite a few and likely, in my opinion, something was gluten contaminated. I am very sensitive so that my experience would not apply to the vast majority of celiacs...

    If you like green tea, but not too bitter, you may like green tea with chamomile. The Twinnings brand used to be my favorite.

    I'm not sure about in Australia, but here in the U.S. you can often get journal articles from your local library. You need to special order them but they get you copies in a few days. You can also go to the local university library and get access there sometimes. I agree that it can be a challenge. Not only is it a challenge to read them and understand...

    I am sorry that you are feeling sick again. It is tough when it seems like the only way to find out if something will make you sick is to have it make you sick. I hope that you recover quickly. I also hope that you make good progress at figuring out what is bothering you. I hope that keeping the food diary helps.

    Oh, good. Sorry I didn't notice. In case anyone is interested, there are eggs available from soy free chickens. Just soy free eggs online. I have no idea if it is really an issue.

    Thank you for posting this. I like it that he recommends reading published reports.

    The OP has a soy reaction. I think that's why he posted in the "Other Food Intolerances" section.

    I got diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome recently. The reason I went to the eye doctor was that I had blurred vision and I was afraid that I was losing my eyesight. She said that we tear up more with dry eyes and that was what caused the blurring. At that time I was suffering from a relatively long term accidental gluten ingestion period. Later, when I...

    I didn't edit that out to try to hide something. I edited it out to try to make my meaning more clear. Please don't make accusations.
  20. dilettantesteph
    The comments from Irishheart make realize that I need to work harder to be more clear. I gave the references to those studies because I thought the OP might want to read them because they are relevant to her question to me asking if I cut grains from my diet to heal.
