Hi, Yes, your experience sounds like mine. I do get bloating very often. I would say I get bloated, stomach distended at the minimum twice a week. I often look like I am pregnant! If I eat anything with milk in it, I get stomach pain. So I don't eat anything with gluten, or milk in it. And lately, it seems if I have a glass of wine (especially on an...

So maybe it is related to being glutened then. Hmmmm. Thanks!

Today I had something happen that has happened atleast 2 other times to me within the last year or so. I will start feeling down emotionally, then after that I will become very fatigued (comes on quickly) and feel cold/chills. It is like I am coming down with a virus. I usually have to take a nap and pile tons of blankets on me to stay warm. About an...

We will be moving to Central New Jersey this summer. A little south of Trenton. Can anyone tell me what is available in the way of shopping for groceries, and eating out? Thanks!

General Mills is reformulating their rice chex cereal. They are taking out the barley malt syrup and replacing it with molasses. They are also going to be producing the rice chex cereal in a dedicated facility! The new boxes say "gluten free" on them. Be careful when you shop because some of the old non gluten free formula boxes are still on shelves in...

Hi, One thing you might watch is if there is a connection to his hyper behavior with food coloring-especialy red food coloring. I have noticed that while gluten and dairy affect my children in other ways, red food coloring makes them start bopping off the walls. Just a thought. Sounds like you are a very caring and concientous mom!

My 9 year old's behavior changes dramatically after getting gluten or milk. After gluten, he becomes paranoid, anxious, cries at the drop of a hat, picks on his sister more, has angry outbursts and sometimes wets the bed. It is all irrational behavior for a nine year old. He doesn't have digestive symptoms. We are going through it right now and I have...

Thanks for the supplement suggestion. I am not currently taking any because I have had trouble in the past (which I now think was soy related). So I do need to find good, dairy, gluten and soy free supplements. I guess my real question now is, if I get an official diagnosis, what are the chances of being denied health insurance in the future?

Yes, unfortunately I have been dairy free for 2 years and soy free for 1 year now. I think the weakness is from my hypoglycemia which is related to gluten ingestion.

This is a good question. I have no idea. I guess I will need to find this out first.

After reading Momma Goose's post about the pill cam I got really excited about the idea of having this procedure done. History: Had 2 negative biopsies, but a positive through enterolab and I have the 2 main celiac genes. I am 95% sure that I have celiac disease. Right before taking gluten out of my diet I was really sick. I became hypoglycemic and this...

This is absolutely fascinating! I really wish I could have done this a few years ago when I was still eating gluten. I had two endoscopy/small bowel biopsies done and they were negative. I'm 95% sure I have celiac diesease though from my genetic testing and enterolab results. I'm wondering if I could/should go get it done now to see if there is still...

Thanks Gemini for this information. My ENT is reccomending a CAT scan with and without contrast dye for this Monday. I'm wondering if I should still do that or if having the blood work done first would be less invasive? He did mention doing bloodwork after the CAT scan. Is there a cure for Sjogren's disease? Is it dangerous our just annoying? Thanks...

For about 3 months now I have noticed that I have this swollen gland in my neck. Saw the ENT today and he thinks it is a swollen salivary gland. He mentioned Sjogren's disease as a possibility but I don't have ANY of the other symptoms. Interestingly I have been getting gluten accidentally for several months and have now discovered the source and eliminated...

Thanks Beagle for the info. on Melatonin. I will also check out the book you mention. I am glad to have these ideas because I have never gone this long with poor sleep. AliB, This may be something. Because I was getting glutened over the last few months, my hypoglycemia symptoms started returning at night. I was having to eat a snack...
