Hi Peta. Before going gluten free, my suggestion would be to get her tested for celiac disease. It’s a simple blood test and if positive, an endoscopy. This way, you know what you are dealing with. Let me know if you have any questions.

My 12-year old daughter and I are beginning the road to GF. She has no firm diagnosis, other than constant belly pain. We’ve been seeing a nutritionalist who has advised us to follow FOD MAPS Diet, which includes going GF. We are trying to remove every food item that has the potential to cause belly pain (with the thought of adding them back in one at a time) but trying to get a 12-yr old to follow this path is extremely difficult. Any tips on how to help her see the light? I’m grateful for this site for someone who is a complete newb! Thanks!

I’m new to this and haven’t gone GF yet. I’m still trying to learn all I can. You said exactly what I’ve been feeling…I fear it and look forward to it all at the same time! I’m still dreading the transition haha! Thanks!! 🙂

I feel so happy to have found this blog; there is a LOT of great information here – and such realistic encouragement. THANK YOU!
I am celebrating one year GF this month, and I have definitely improved. It’s kind of a slow go, but I have not had one bit of gluten for a whole year (except for that one time when I was erroneously told that a certain potato chip was GF – I ate 5 chips and paid the price; after that, I read EVERY label). Maybe I’ll be more relaxed this year, but I really don’t mind checking…and I am COOKING again, which means I am certain of the ingredients and how they’ve been handled in my own kitchen. There are some wonderful recipes – and I’m ready to experiment (a little!) now too.
Thank you again. I am reviewing your entire site and finding great information and support. I appreciate it!

My doc put me on a trial gluten free diet for three months. After three months and two gluten bombings, my doc had me go back on a gluten diet for the purpose of a biopsy. I had the biopsy. The biopsy showed changes in my duodenum with minimal damage, so I haven’t officially been diagnosed with Celiac but I definitely am allergic/sensitive to it. I’m confused about non-diagnosis. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Thanks!!
You have an awesome site here!! My dietitian introduced me. 🙂

So happy to find your site. I was diagnosed Feb 2, 2014 with Celiacs. I told my GI guy that I was probably a Celiac but after about a decade and two blood tests which said I was not they finally did the Endoscopy & Colonoscopy and made it to the small bowel and small intestine and low and behold…no villai. They were all completely blunted. Biopsy confirmed- Celiac. I know many of you feel very upset by this diagnosis- but, I cried because I finally knew what was wrong with me. Knowing what was wrong I could make the changes in my life to heal.
Only problem is…gluten is a cheap filler. I get sick just about every week and am further educated where the gluten may be hidden…like on those sheets of wax paper that seperate my frozen burgers to keep them from sticking. Like in the drywall compound so when i sand it i contaminate my whole home. Like in my dog food so when my beloved pet eats and then licks me I have it on my skin. Like in my bird feed so when I dump out the bag i inhale it.
But, some of the things I had been dealing with seemed to get much better…the rashes, breaking out in my mouth, hot flashes, breaking out in my hair, hours of bathroom time starting at 3:00 am, zombie sleeping where you wake up and don’t remember if you actually fell asleep, stomach pains, aching joints etc…all have gotten better.
Your site is like a fresh breath of clean air. Other people who actually share in this same experience. However, it’s been a long road for me and I am getting poisoned because gluten is hidden everywhere. Would you start a little section for our group. Kinda like a “Look where I found gluten” or whatever. So , we can share where we have in- advertantly gotten sick.

Thanks again for all you do!
