Dont let this stop you from doing what you want to do. That just makes it worse... I think that should be the case with everyone here... Unless the career is like centered around gluten lol

Dairy, I guess more specifically lactose is difficult to break down because the villi are kind of in layers. One of the enzymes produced by the villi is lactase which breaks down lactose. If you are missing villi (which you are because you have just begun the healing process) it is almost impossible for your villi to heal. It is usually a temporary thing, but for some people it is permanent (like me).

So what your saying is... (depending on the person)

It is common during the process of switching to "gluten free" to not take in "dairy products". Once "gluten free" you can start taking dairy again?

Is this because dairy acts like gluten and will cause damage or symptoms? or will it just affect the healing process?

Ezme and Kassandra,

Thanks for the posts and info! What does dairy do to the healing process when I go gluten free. Dairy foods dont seem to bother me but this is still all new to me. I dont know what bothers me anymore lol.

Thanks for the link Ezme, I also have been searching through some posts and came across this protein powder. They said it was gluten free in the forum but it does not say it on the website. I may have to contact them for further information.

Sup Jason,

I feel exactly how you do right now, but maybe a little better because I have been reading these forums for a few days. They really do help seeing that you

Weather you believe in divorce or not this is your life you are talking about. I don

Thanks Mamaw and Jamie and the rest of you, I am continuing to read these forums, and check here for more advice. My doctor said to continue eating gluten till the biopsy so I am taking the time to eat a lot of my favorite foods for the last time. I will have to look into that thing in Columbus I go up there all the time so im familiar with the city. My moms slowly recovering, she

Ok I heard back from GNC today and didn

Hi and welcome!

Someone else was asking about the whey protein the other day and said he was contacting the company. He hasn't posted whether he's heard back or not. I have the vanilla whey protein usually mixed in with my plain yogurt and berries or in a smoothie almost everyday and haven't had any problems. I never contacted the company to find out because it never caused me any problems. If it's not making you sick, you should be okay, I think. If you're not keeping a food diary, I would start doing that. Mine helped me to find out what was and wasn't making me feel bad.

Thanks Ezme

If no one has posted answers to this, I am going to try contacting the company myself and post them for all of you. I hope to get this accomplished within the next few days.

I got diagnosed 2 weeks ago and I have been working out since last December. I get my supplements from GNC. I have been taking N.O. Xplode and 100% Whey Protein. These are very popular and basic work out supplements to improve your results.

Will I still be able to continue taking these supplements? I went to GNC.com and I looked up the product info and it says nothing about gluten. I could not find any contact information to ask a knowledgeable advisor.

I hope I will find someone else with this disease who also takes these supplements. Anyone know if this stuff is ok or any alternatives?

Just in case you don't know . . . you need to stay on gluten until your biopsy.

Wow, thats a great point that I never thought of. Here I am trying to go gluten free and I havnt had my biopsy yet. lol I guess I just cant wait to see some results. At least ill be able to drink some Miller Lite as opposed to Rebridge for holloween this year. Redbridge isnt bad though.

BTW thanks for everyones post so far, they have all been very informative and have made me feel better. I am so glad I came accross this forum tonight.

Im surpised I am not seeing more people mentioning a biopsy. I was told by my doctor, who is very good, that only way to know for sure that you have celiac is a biopsy. Treatment is the diet.

Hi, I am also new to this. I just got my blood work back about week ago and it came back posative. My doctor said the only way to know for sure is to have a biopsy done. I am getting one done at the end of the month.

I am a 22 year old male and I have had a hard time in life being mistaken for a 12 year old. (exaggerated) lol. I weigh about 138 pounds.

About 2 weeks ago I went to the doctor for some dry skin under my eyes that I have had for about a year. After talking to the doctor I asked her about some other symptoms I have been having. I told her I have been lifting weights since last December and trying to bulk up and gain weight. I have gained about 3 pounds since like my younger years of high school which was like 6-7 years ago. I have also had some anxiety problems as of lately that I never use to have. The doctor did blood work and I came back positive with celiac disease and I have to go have a biopsy done in a few weeks.

I am completely freaked out now after doing my research of this disease. I am the kind of guy who loves beer and to party and due to some food allergies like the only thing I can eat is wheat and now I can't. I am allergic to chicken, turkey, tuna, (confirmed) and maybe beans (not confirmed but pretty sure). These are all major sources of protein and if I can't eat wheat then I don
