I would also suggest...Thank you for your comment!! I would also suggest you checking out the gluten free checklist I have on my about celiac disease link - its a great one. From my understanding, from the many many tests my GI's performed - getting testing for the Celiac gene (is a simple blood test) - to find out the severity of the damage done to you - you'd have a endoscopy done (I have links to more information about these tests on my about me link). <br /><br />You will LOVE Bite and Bunny Cakes, wonderful gluten free bakers who take pride in making delicious gluten free goodies (I have blogs on both in Bakery and Chocolate - my 2 favorite things~!). I was desperate for a gluten free cookie cake for my birthday and Marie, owner of Bite made it happen for me, and it ROCKED!!!<br /><br />Being gluten free isn't as bad as it used to be (we have sooo many great options out there), life will be fine for you - just have to make life changes as you go along - the adjustments are what's tough. Keep in touch and let me know how your journey goes. And, if you do additional allergy testing - please let us know your thoughts. <br /><br />JenJennifer Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865419556721744216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210059509781954194.post-33634000688630158282011-04-08T18:54:16.323-04:002011-04-08T18:54:16.323-04:00Thank You soooo much for this blog!!!

No formal testing has been done but my GP and I had been putting the various ailments I've been having over the past few years together and when the gluten was eliminated just about all the symptoms disappeared. <br /><br />I am loathe to get tested formally but would like to know the extent of the damage done to me since I suspect I've been a Celiac since 2003 or perhaps longer. This article was great and gives another perspective I've not heard/read about.<br /><br />Thanks for all the awesome places to eat!! I think I will finally be able to have a birthday cake this year that won't kill me!!!<br /><br />-SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
