I guess this USANA company is kind of like Avon - you go to parties to buy their products. They claim to treat all kinds of stuff, including helping celiacs recover from their symptoms. Has anyone heard of this or have any info to pass along?

Thanks!

Yuyp, I'm taking them. My dad got them for after hearing how yucky I was feeling. He just ordered from their website, I think. I was getting all kinds of weird things going on with my body, and after taking them three weeks, I feel alot better. I think I'm taking the "essentials blend".

Since these were just kind of passed along to me, I don't think I've been influenced by expectations or marketing, but I really do feel better. My dad has been taking them, and he said he's noticed an improvement in his workouts.

Honestly, the least you can do is give it a shot. I've heard you are supposed to notice a difference in your health in two weeks, but I would try it a month before you switch to something else.

I am a Usana distributor so I am a bit uncomfortable about replying to your message. I don't want to sell you anything, but just explain a bit about Usana. They don't claim to cure anything. Any nutritionist will tell you that with optimal nutrition our bodies are able to resolve many ailments themselves. Usana products help people to achieve optimal nutrition.

They are sometimes sold at 'parties', but I found them on the internet. Many people are introduced to them through friends or family like Rachel was.

Rachel pretty much summed it up - give it a try - but please consult you physician if you do.

Best of health to you,

Brenda

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit.  We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel.  He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?

      I'm heading to the UK for a vacation the end of this month on a tour with Road Scholar. I haven't been out of the US since my diagnosis so I'm a little concerned about exposure to gluten during my travels. Most of our meals are provided by the tour. Either the hotels we are staying at, or places we will visit. Road Scholar is aware of my dietary needs as well. Any helpful hints about navigating the restaurants in England is greatly appreciated. Also are there any medications out there to help mitigate the effects of exposure to gluten? Thanks in advance.
