I am learning this slowly. I think my doc just wanted me to be safe being that you can develop other food sensitivities with this disorder or autoimmune disease. I was craving something sweet so bad, I went to Wholefoods and found some gluten free/corn free chocolate cookies. Even though doctor warned me about eating from gluten free packages, I ate them...

What kind of salt do you use? I heard it would be best not to use Iodized salt, but use Sea Salt or Celtic Salt particularly for those who have developed other autoimmune diseases from this disorder such as hypothyroid problems.

Hey alissar, I would say same situation for me. My face has improved about 85 to 90%. But when I am glutened, the biggest problem now is puffy eyes.

I suspected early this year that the avocado's might be causing me problems, but didn't pay it much attention. I will also pay close attention to bananas. Don...

Thanks for your response. That is what I want, to get to a point where the symptoms are not normal. Its to the point that I will go 2 or 3 days without eating so I don't have to experience the reactions. I think one problem I'm guily of is getting convenient foods from restaurants. Even though the foods I will get from restaurants are gluten free (at...

Hi guys. I'm new to this Celiac thing. About a year ago my face started to look very deformed. It became puffy and swollen like the marshmallow man. I developed huge cheeks that sag, my face looked like the moon. Some days it looks like I have a swollen double chin and my under eyes are puffy. I didn't know if it was fluid retention, or from my chronic...
