Thanks for the replies.

I have the soft bouillon cubes from Knorr and I don't see any gluten-free labeling on them. Does anyone know the status on these?

)-: I don't know if I will do the challenge or not. I think to be absolutely sure I would have to do it for at least 6 weeks. If I did it for a short time and then was negative I would always wonder about it. What you are experiencing is why I am hesitating. Also, I took the gene test as well and am negative for the 2 major Celiac genes, although positive...

My answer isn't all that helpful, more in the spirit of empathy since I am still in the process of diagnosis and can't say celiac or intolerance at this point. But before going gluten free I had many a morning with a puffy face and an aching neck and migraine. From what I've read it is a sign of inflammation/inflammatory disease. I tend to get joint swelling...

Ah. I wondered if there was a gluten meter than I hadn't heard of. I test for glucose 3-4x a day. Especially when I started the diet and the food diary. I wanted to see where my sugars were going with the LCHF diet. I haven't noticed non-carb related spikes with particular foods with the exception of peanut butter. Even if I keep within the carb allowance...

Thanks for the reply Cyclinglady. Do you mean a blood sugar meter or something else? My husband actually has LADA/type 1. Worth keeping in mind as I hadn't considered it before. Good point about checking for gluten. I did myself in with gummy vitamins for a while before I thought to look.

Enis_TX: Thank you for the reply. I'm doing Atkins/Keto/Paleo combos so I would love recipes or tips! I started with Atkins but they use a lot of sugar alcohols in their products and those don't agree with me. I still use the tracker but I've switched to more fats with the Keto macros rather than the higher protein. I'm staying under 25 net carbs a day and...

Ravenwoodglass: Thank you for the reply. Glad to hear your symptoms went into remission! I am amazed at all the things that just stopped without gluten to fuel the reaction. I do have the genes for RA, type 1 Diabetes, and auto-immune thyroid issues and Crohn's. I don't know how predictive that is in general. I'm trying to get my mom and sister to test since...

Hi All, Thank you for the informative forum. I've been reading articles here for a couple months now and they have answered some of my more desperate initial questions and fears. Apologies in advance for the book I'm about to write. I'm looking for a little advice and I'm not sure what is important and what isn't. I'm not sure if I have celiac...
