It's in the August 2006 'Good Housekeeping'. A lady named Alice Bast, was sick for seven years and went through 20 doctors, and not a single one of them diagnosed her. I think it was her veterinarian (sp?) friend who said that she might have it. She had also had 3 miscarriages from it. It's a great article! I'll try to find it on the web. I thought it was great publicity for it though! Alice is trying to give it more publicity.

K I found it! It's a pdf. Here's the link:

      My son newly diagnosed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, the biggest source of cross-contamination would be eating our in restaurants--even ones that have a gluten-free menu. If your son was just recently diagnosed I'd recommend trying not to eat out during his healing period, which could last up to a year or more, depending on how much villi damage he had.

      Celiac pain relief

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      How long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease? How long have you been gluten-free? Is your diet strict, and are you 100% gluten-free? Do you eat out in restaurants?

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      Key word, "gluten-like".  By the way, have you looked up Dr. Osborne's credentials and his background? He is a licensed nutritionist but his scientific? medical? clinical background is that of a chiropractor. He is not taken seriously by many experts in the medical and scientific community. If it is helpful to you to see these other cereal grain proteins as "gluten", I'm fine with that. The problem is, when you begin to promote that line of thinking to others, people get confused about what grains they actually need to avoid. About 10% of celiacs react to oat protein (avenin) like they do gluten (the protein in wheat/barley/rye). That is not news. But the vast majority of celiacs have no issue with these other cereal grains. If we start throwing around the term "gluten" to loosely embrace the proteins found in all cereal grains it's going to be very confusing to those just getting started who only need to avoid wheat/barley/rye. And it will also create a great deal of confusion in the restaurant industry trying to cater to that element of their customer base needing to eat gluten free.

      Testing

      By Nicola McGuire · Posted

      I was told by my doctor that due to high levels in bloods my son has celiacs but can do a test with biopsy etc but she said she can see the levels without this in his bloods . Is that correct

      Welcome to the forum, @Nicola McGuire! An appointment with a dietician might be helpful. In the meantime, this article might get you off to a good start: It is easy to eliminate major sources of gluten in the diet but to arrive at a consistently "gluten-free" state is much more challenging. There is a real learning curve involved and part of that is just experience. In time, you and your son will develop a sixth sense of where gluten might be hiding as you shop for food and eat out. Eating out is the biggest challenge. You will make mistakes so give yourselves some grace. It is important that your son take ownership of this new health reality as you cannot be with him 24/7.
