Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I've been reading _Dangerous Grains_ - which btw I don't like the title of. I kept thinking it was one of those scare tactic books, but it really isn't like that inside. But, I digress... I have many of the associated issues - anemia, low bp, heartburn/GERD, asthma, autoimmune thyroid, short 5th finger (kind of a funny sign of food issues IMO :-P), infertility/miscarriages, history of related issues in my family - and basically nothing else I've tried over the last 2 1/2 years has worked. So, I believe I do have gluten issues. My question is, do I go and get tested, just to be sure, or do I just decide that I have gluten issues and stop eating it - knowing that I can't get tested later? Also, what is the best way to tell people that we don't eat gluten? Like when my kids go to church and homeschool co-op where they have cookie and cracker snacks (don't even get me started on that!) ? Do I say, they're celiac, or just that they shouldn't have gluten? I don't want to have to spend an hour explaining it all the time. I guess that's why I was thinking the tests would be good - then I would know definitively. Just thinking out loud. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again! Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
