I have not been tested but symptomatically fit the profile for Celiac disease. A gluten free diet is very difficult to stick with,but I believe my Type 2 diabetes is caused by it and worsened by wheat, so am trying to get back on the GF diet.

Danielle- no problem. When in doubt, go without... sort of a good motto.

Fanci- I'll do my best to get a few to you. I am a chef myself and am working to open a GF bakery/cafe. For a few other ideas, look up ROCK. The meeting I attended was a pot-luck and recipes had to be provided... they were then posted on the website. Good Luck.

I appreciate the encouragement. I'm still waiting for the lab results. I'll let you know when they return. I"m thinking about doing a cookbook for celiac disease. Any favorite recipes you'd like to share? I'll give credit in the acknowledgements of course.

oh thanks for that fxstone, i wont b havin gum again

Danielle- Hey there. I have been GF for almost 4yrs now and I certainly don't know everything. That was the first I'd heard about gum, but it makes some sense (given what I know about stamps and what-not). On the other hand, gum has never (that I can recall) set off my symptoms and I am VERY sensitive. But when it's all said and done, symptoms or no, if something isn't GF it WILL cause damage.

Fanci- I wouldn't feel so badly if I were you (easier said than done). The testing isn't tough to go through. It doesn't much matter if he has it or not, what matters is that you'll KNOW.

I feel horribly guilty because my 7 year old son has now become the family guinea pig. I have not been tested for celiac, but since he has similar symptoms I mentioned to his dr today. The doctor ordered labs to test for the celiac antibodies. If he doesn't have celiac, I'm going to feel even worse. I should have been the one to be tested first.

Shopbydiet is a great on-line resource. They have tons of good stuff. I have read that most, if not all, of the toothpastes made in the US are gluten-free. If you want to be extra carefull, get Thom's of Maine. There are plenty of vitamins and what-not out there, I can't remember the names off-hand but I think Celiac.com is a good place to start your search. If you have a good health food store nearby, ask them for help. Chances are, they have something.
