Are you born with it or can it develop later in life?
I think you are born with it, but may not be diagnosed til much later. I've always had problems, but it wasn't diagnosed correctly until now.

They have a gluten free section of the menu. Its in downers grove, if thats relatively close to you.

Sorry, I don't meant to be nosey. My father has been having issues with his stomach and such and has lost a significant amount of weight (to the point that it is unhealthy.) Guess I'm always looking for things to check into if it seems relevant.

The roomie switched to wine and whiskey...

Last time he went on a beer bender he puked for a day, got better did it again and gave himself a cool ping-pong ball sized ulcer.. The doc was unsure if it was caused by all the vomiting or if it was there or not, but it did not really help.

Weight loss/gain is a symptom of it.....check out the syptoms list on celiac.com

I'm amazed its taken this long for my diagnosis....this explains so much. I'm glad I have an answer and can treat it.....I'm just super pissed I have such a limited diet.

All I know is I see lots of people in the food stores reading labels, going is this gluten free Confused I was tested for this, came up negative. So I feel for you, but it's not the end of the world. There is a lady here near me, she turned this into a business - think outside the box lady friend - her kid couldn't have cookies made with flour - because of this - so one day he said Mommy a Cookie for Me - and it struck her - she needed to make cookies for people who were like her son. Bing Bang - she turned it into a cottage industry - and is selling to upscale food stores - and now is online with the cookies - and has a small place she rents to do the baking with so many employees. So look at it as a possible business venture - not the end all of no beer Smack

Yes, someone has to show you a positive side to this Whee

Oh Comfort as well Smilie

laugh out loud One of the first things I thought of was no chocolate chip cookies laugh out loud I'll have to find these gluten free cookies...

I can't wait to feel better. This past year has been brutal...it will be worth it to change my diet. I also suffer from bad joint pain....apparently also caused by celiac. I just want to feel better.

Your request is fulfilled: http://www.cookiesforme.com/

Read their story about how they started the business, it's about their little boy as I said, and yes, indeed they have chocolate chip cookies.

The idea here, is to learn what they used to make their cookies, so that you too can learn to bake with these ingredients so you don't have to spend this type of money on what you can eat. It's basically rice flour they are using, but it's the other ingredients as well, that you may also need, in order to keep the Celiac under control.

Grilled chicken over Jasmine Rice (which is really good tasting rice) if you can eat that, would be a good meal, if you are able to pop it into a microwave and heat it up. Even if you stop into a 7-11 and buy a drink - most of them would allow you to use their microwaves to do this. Again, think outside the box with this. Jazz it up with different veggies, and you can do wonders with grilled chicken and rice, and different sauces on it as well.

I'm sorry to hear this SC!

I have a resident at where I work that is strictly gluten free and working in a medicad nursing home, it's near to impossible to keep her feed.

I really feel for you, this sucks big time.
