"If you can track this down, the February 2003 Today's Dietitian had an excellent article on celiac testing, the different types of celiac, the different types of tests, and the difficulty of getting any type of accurate diagnosis. I really, really wish that article was on-line because it's the best thing I've ever seen on the topic, and quite shocking."
Some years ago when I became semi-retired I gave up all the professional journals I subscribed to (darn it) so I don't have access to it. Maybe someone on the Celiac boards, a moderator possibly, could gain permission from the publication to post this one on line. We would sure like to know more and I do believe this is a viable subject given the number of people with IBS who are wheat intollerant and could possibly be celiac too.

ok so day 4 of the wheat-free diet!....
so day 2 and 3 weren't very good in terms of what things i ate...but its just going to take some time i suppose and cheking everything very carefully!
I can def see how the wheat has been causing problems tho...on sunday i went for a chinese buffet...i thought i had been extra careful but turns out some wheat managed to sneak its way onto my plate! anyways i felt awful for the rest of that evening and most of yday. today however, i have had a completely wheat/gluten/dairy free day and my symptoms have slightly improved...and im determined to stick to a strict diet!
will keep you updated on how things go...god i sound like a soap opera!

Hi Katgirl,
Here are two websites with great recipes on wheat free food.

I hope these help you.
There are two excellent authors you might want to check out their books. Betty Hagman and Carol Phenster.
Good luck!

Hey watch those chinese fast food places they say they serve grilled chicken for there bowls but the use wheat and other preservatives for the chicken to keep it soft.
Same thing with charboiling ask them before you order it.
If you make you own stir fry at home you can but La choy soy sauce it's wheat free to use in your stir fry.
Here is a website for wheat/free/gluten free mall.
www.glutenfreemall.com.
Good luck oh ya here's another for ya for frozen waffles.
www.wheatstonefoods.com they have wheatfree/gluten free waffles you can get at most whole food stores. Again good luck..

Sorry I didn't answer earlier.I was in a pretty bad way prior to the procedure. I needed a whole 4 days to recover and get back into the swing of things. My recovery from the gasterional infection It took a toll on me. By the time they decided to run the test what ever caused the infection had already left my body and 40lbs lighter. So the only thing my Dr. said I might of been was a real bad case of gasternitis in the bowel, big DDD. I was always a little IBS prone before nothing real big just occassional around that time of the month. Now I have to watch out for everything I eat. That post by Heather not to long ago on Gasternitis fit me to a tee. now take tht extra day or two if your in a bad way now, if your ok you should bounce back right away. Just take it slow for the next few days.
Wish you luck... Sheri

Best of luck and
