I was diagnosed about 10 months ago, took 5 1/2 months
to feel better,   and started to go downhill again a couple
months ago.   I gave up my orange juice,  my cereal,
ate rice instead  and was ready to eat rice and vegetables
three times a day and not a thing else when I read the posting
about Fritos having contamination.   They had been my little treat after
I found I could eat them.   I took them out of my diet and with no other
changes to my diet,  I am restored to health after six days!   I didn't
eat many,  and always bought them in small bags and I realize I was
probably exposed to multiple batches.   I was so discouraged and was
starting to think I had colon cancer or something.   This has really
taught me to be more aware (and suspicious) of everything I eat,  and to
focus on gluten as the likely problem rather than getting scared about
something else.

 And I really appreciate the listserve without which I wouldn't have
figured out this simple thing for some time.   It is my first post-
diagnosis gluten exposure and I can't believe I was so blind to it. thanks...
