anyone here dealing with it? apparently i was born with it, and apparently weaned off it. but i think that's poppycock., not sure if one can ever clear it. i appear to be symptom free, but who knows. i really just need to get a blood draw to find out. any help appreciated with regards to diet, etc.

WHEAT, BARLEY AND MOST GRAINS AND EVEN Corn sometimes, and their derivatives. That means products made with malt, vinegar, alcohol, etc. It can go on and on. Someone on the board asked about this awhile ago. See if you can find some info from there maybe.

Do you exhibit celiac symptoms? I'm not sure a bood sample will diagnose celiac. More of a process of elimination, food allergy tests, food sensitvity tests, food monitoring, food diary. I've always heard that it can take months to correctly diagnose. See what Dr. Skunk says or see a gastroenterologist (sp.)

JohnR, one of my neighbors has it and she's a good ten years older than you and she's amazingly healthy and athletic (and pretty young-looking, too). Living proof that it's a disease that can be managed and accomodated for. Other than that, I know nothing about it. Sorry!

I know think we need a Dr. Skunky forum dealing with our health issues.

Well John, I know nothing about this particular ailment, however, I do know one thing, mental status does wonders for the body. So, when you are in the environmental threads posting, picture everyone only wearing a seawall in the pertinent places or perhaps a geotube up their arse. :razz:

While I am allergic to all of those grains, plus many more, I have never heard of Celiac Disease.
