| Anyone do gluten free? My rheumatologist thinks I might have celiacs disease. I have low phosphorus and she thinks this might be the cause. Has anyone done gluten free? For medial reasons? has it helped? was it difficult? |

| I do. I did my own research when my dermatologist and allergist couldn't tell me why I had a rash/bumps on my legs, torso and arms. Cut out gluten and it went away. Ate a pizza, drank some beer and was headed for the bathroom within 30 minutes. All the proof I needed. I have since had a saliva test that confirmed I was extremely intolerate of gluten. I've also been diagnosed with dairy, chocolate, tomato and corn allergies. Joy. I avoid gluten like the plaque, but can tolerate limited amounts of the rest. It has definitely helped me. It's expensive, but the alternative is not an option for me. I have not been tested for Celiac as my Dr. requested, because the testing $$$ requires that you consume a diet of gluten for two or more weeks. In the end, you get (or not) a diagnosis of Celiac and have to avoid gluten. Hmmm, no thanks. |

| My endo was able to rule it out with a simple blood test. I'm a type 1 (juvenile) diabetic, which has been linked to Celiac along with some other autoimmune diseases. Though I have not personally gone gluten-free, I know of a few people with T1 diabetes who have kept their babies gluten free until well after their 1st birthday in the event a causal link is ever found between gluten early in life and T1 diabetes. My grocery store has a large section in the organic area of gluten free foods. I wonder if you could have bloodwork ordered and go from there? Good luck!
