[QUOTE="Josie, post: 605311, member: 1792"] I used [URL="http://www.enterolab.com"]www.enterolab.com[/URL] to test, but the results of the diet are what convinced me. My younger daughter had stomach problems and I had long suspected celiac disease. None of her celiac tests came back positive and the doctors all said gluten wasn't the problem. We also have a family history of celiac so I was unconvinced. When she tested positive, I tested myself and my older daughter. We were both positive, too, even though we did not think we had stomach issues. Since then, I have realized I did have constant bloating. I intended to follow the diet when I was with my kids and eat what I wanted when they were not around, but I felt so much better that I am very strict about it. I really don't do gluten free substitutes much, but eat naturally girlfriend foods. Rice, potatoes, veggies, fruits, meat, eggs. I am also dairy free. I used to love bread and bagels, but I don't miss it. As an added bonus, I lost about 20 lbs without trying when I went girlfriend. If you have a family history of celiac, there is an even better chance it would help your child, in my opinion. When we first started this diet, I made lots of girlfriend treats so my kids wouldn't feel deprived. It is hard watching other kids eat cupcakes, donuts, etc., if you feel you can never have it. I told them if there was a treat at school, I would make a treat at home. I have found you can substitute girlfriend flour for regular flour in cakes and cookies and get good results with regular recipes. Also add about 1 t of xanthan gum per cup of flour. A mix of different flours works best. [/QUOTE]
