<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Elizabeth, Welcome. I was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago and I am still struggling with the diet. It takes a while to learn it fully. There are so many hidden sources of gluten. My symptoms were extreme heartburn and gas and my doctor thought I had an ulcer or something like that. I also have just become sensitive to dairy products so I am off them now as well as the Gluten. Did your doctor recommend you go off dairy for a while? I think it depends on the doctor. This is a very informative listserv and you will get alot of valuable information and encouragement from it. I have already and I haven't joined for all that long. I'd be glad to answer any questions I can. Talk to you soon. Lisa Overton Guelph, ON Canada...Spring has sprung, the grass has rizz. I wonder where the birdies is?
