Our newest website for people affected by celiac disease is Gluten
Free Pastas. Everybody loves pasta and Gluten Free Pastas is a
great source of information about the various companies offering GF
pasta for sale.
Regular readers of this space will already know that we often
create new websites to benefit people with celiac disease. So the
fact that we have created another one is not likely to come as a
big surprise What is different in this case is that this new site
is all about videos, thus the [...]

Those of us with celiac disease know it affects far more than just
our digestive systems. I've spoken with many women who say going
gluten-free altered their menstrual cycles (usually making their
periods less painful), and even one or two women who tell me their
celiac disease diagnosis reversed what seemed to be early
menopause. Medical research also has linked celiac disease with
infertility....Read Full Post
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine
that occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages from
middle infancy onward. Symptoms include chronic diarrhoea, failure
to thrive (in children), and fatigue, but these may be absent, and
symptoms in other organ systems have been described.

I suffer from Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It started 9
years ago when I was in a horrific Amtrak train accident (1 person
was killed in my car and we were trapped in the bottom of the car,
lying upside down in a ditch in the middle of the night for over 30
minutes). That was absolutely horrible, but fortunately I was not
seriously injured. However, I had severe bruising all over my body
as well as trauma to my neck and face. Then in April, I was in my
first car accident. It was my fault, as I didn't see the stop sign.
I damaged the whole front bumper of the car but was not injured,
nor was the other driver. I got my car fixed and had it for 2
months before it happened again on Aug 4. This car accident was not
my fault, rather the other driver failed to yield and we collided

I have a drug list that says Ambien is gluten free. My doctor
ordered it knowing I am a Celiac but did order the generic brand.
Does anyone know if Ambien is gluten free. I have used Melatonin
and it doesn't help much. My sleep problems are even worse since I
have been gluten free for 6 weeks.
I just got a positive blood test last week (I am 35) after going to
a slew of Dr's for different weird symptoms (non of which are
classic celiac). She told me she was going to run a bunch of blood
tests, so she called the next day and told me it came back positive
for celiac. I was shocked and really never heard of this disease.
Anyway, I just happened to have had my annual gyn exam yesterday
and brought up the celiac thing to her and asked her if it would
affect my chances of getting pregnant, etc. She told me that celiac
is something you really never heard of before, but now it is being
"over diagnosed"! LOL I was like well, if someone is positive for
it, how can a Dr really over diagnose it, it's not like they are
making up the results! Anyway, she then said as long as you stick

An FDA advisory panel gave a closely divided vote of support to

I am an avid camper, occasional backpacker, and avid hiker: Was
looking for meal ideas for all of the above. I tent camp, RV camp
with almost a full kitchen and at times just sleep under the stars
so any ideas you have are welcome. Have a hubby who sometimes comes
along - and have worn out all easy stuff (chicken, steak,
hamburgers, gluten-free hotdogs, ect...) so whatever you've got
throw them out there. As a side note I have found that due to my
gluten-free lifestyle i occasionally run a little short on carbs
and protein when I need them for an intense day hike, leaving me
tired and dizzy (maybe sugar too??)when others are ready to move on
even though i am in good shape my recovery is longer - any ideas??
I was sick for many years with the gamut of classic Celiac symptoms
without DX. Now, 3 weeks into being gluten-free, I am developing
the small blisters that I read can be indicative of DH. I have
never had anything like this before. I had been hoping that I would
be one of those who did not need to worry about buying new
toiletries and household products. This weekend, I put Oil of Olay
moisturizer on and got an immediate reaction - burning, bright red
skin. I washed it off immediately, but it literally feels like my
skin has been burned. So, I guess I do need to tackle the problem
of finding new cosmetics and cleansers. Question - is it possible
bc I have never had DH before, that this is just temporary? As long
as I follow through and get gluten completely out of my house? I

Hi, I'm due with baby #2 in about 6 weeks. We recently found out
that our son (28 months old) has Celiac Disease. He is doing
amazingly on a gluten-free diet and we are thrilled beyond belief.
At the same time, the Celiac diagnosis came out-of-the-blue for us
since, as far as we know at this point, no one in either of our
families has been diagnosed Celiac. In any case, I've been hearing
conflicting things about whether or not gluten can travel through
breastmilk or not. I do plan on breastfeeding the new baby, and I
do still occasionally eat gluten. Will this travel to the new baby
or not? Obviously, we don't know yet if the new baby will have
Celiac Disease, but at the same time, if I can avoid seeing another
one of my children go through the pain of undiagnosed Celiac
Disease, I ...
Help. I am 42 yo and have been diagosed w ibs/ gerd..... Well for
the past twenty years I have suffered with very painful diarrhea-
an episde lasts hours and the pain is horrible, to the point I have
passed out- vasovagal reaction. When I have a flare, I can't eat
for the day and if I do, symptoms return. This usually lasts months
at a time and then it magically dissappears. I have to take levsin
during my bouts. Well about a year ago I saw a GI doc who thought I
may have this celiac thing, but the initial test came back neg. So
I dismissed it. He wanted to do a biopsy and I declined. Well this
bout I noticed when I ate cereal by lunch time I was cramping
again. Also I always "feel" it coming on - fatigued and fog headed
on those days. I blamed it on depression and got on
antidepressants,...
How do you deal with family members and friends who don't take you
seriously? I discovered I have celiac disease and went gluten free
6 months ago. The problem is I've been living abroad for several
years so my family has not witnessed my symptoms. All these years I
hid from them that I suffered from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
as well as constant GI symptoms and mental health issues, etc...
And so I'm visiting them this summer and they seem to think going
gluten free has only been a diet choice, nothing dangerous. I tried
telling them about the symptoms I was getting. Also, my mother has
suffered the same symptoms all her life and suffers from cerebellar
ataxia and has had difficulty walking for a few years as a result
of gluten. I tried explaining this to them and that if I carri...
just checking to see who out there has both, celiac disease and
sibo and which one was diagnosed first?? thanks!
Does anyone know a good GI specialist in Connecticut?
I got glutened a couple of days ago by my toddler. I've had all the
usual symptoms and today was added the worst bowel cramps and most
painful C. Any suggetions? It hurts BAD.
To be more blunt... Period like cramps... I've noticed the last 2
days I've had very mild cramps, like mild period cramps. I know
I've been alittle more hormonal... Wondering if this is hormones
straightening out... I do believe eating gluten for so long messed
up my hormones...
So previously my GI told me that my endoscopy/biopsy results were
normal. This was a little surprising, since my TTg came back
strongly positive at 66. Today I requested and received a copy of
the biopsy results, which I've posted here. Notice the phrase "mild
villous blunting". I think this is actually her observation; the
pathologist described the biopsy as "mucosa with no significant
histopathologic changes". I thought that villous blunting was
diagnostic of Celiac; isn't that all you need? Why would she call
these results normal? How could she have observed blunting, while
the pathologist report came back normal? I wish I had had the
chance to ask her these questions myself, but I didn't get the copy
until after my appointment was over. She did tell me that based on
my TTg results ...

low and behold they had gluten-free Bisquick! Tiny a$$ box, but I

mean there's always the ever obvious biscuits...but I was hoping
for something a bit more creative.
Children who survived brain tumours might face health challenges,

strategies to help long-term survivors maximize their potential.
