<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi there Everyone Firstly, I just like to thank everyone of you who took the time to write to me. I just can't thank you all enough, I have read all of the 40 odd posts and followed all the links, printed off loads and loads of information too. I feel much better, not so overwhelmed about it all and not so silly either. Thanks to everyone who wished me well for my baby as well, I really appreciated the kind thoughtfulness from you all. There were a lot who felt that my quick 15-20 minute reaction to gluten definitely signified a gluten intolerance/wheat allergy as opposed to CD. But also a lot pointed out they are related and that my improvement on a GF diet after years of anaemia, mouth ulcers, constipation indicated CD. Most felt that I should see a Dr. but the tests for CD would be negative because I had been GF for 3 months. Most people were concerned for the baby, as I am 28 weeks pregnant and that I should tell my Dr. I am not actually under a Dr. supervision for this pregnancy, I am under a private midwife who is aware of my gluten intolerance. She is not unduly worried at all and says although I am not putting on weight the baby is a good size. I have never had problems with my other 6 babies, all have been big babies, full term and overdue! A lot of people advised me to stick to fresh simple food until after the baby is born then to experiment with new foods. This is the advice I will take, I will stick to what I know without a doubt is GF and then after the baby is born. A lot of people also said that I should breastfeed my baby. This I always do for 12-22 months, so my babies do get the best start in life. So many people sent me links that I could never name them all here but I will keep all the posts so that if anyone would like the posts sent to them or just the links, I will gladly do so. It is interesting that some people definitely feel that a "medical" diagnosis is essential, biopsy, blood etc. On the other hand some feel that if you improve dramatically on a GF diet like I did, then that is evidence enough and to go through all the tests and a gluten challenge, which would never be possible for me because I react so strongly to gluten, is unnecessary. That going through these tests would be just for peace of mind and encouragement to stay on the GF diet for life. Personally, I will stay on the GF diet because of the evidence I have discovered for myself, I can not tolerate gluten. I will not cheat because I can not cheat with 6, nearly 7 children to homeschool and care for, it would be irresponsible. But I can see where people who do not react so violently or quickly to gluten need the medical evidence to keep them on the straight and narrow. I now know that I must see this as a new adventure in food and drink and think of myself as being in a new country. I am so glad that I have found this group, thanks very much. I hope this is ok, I have not done this before. Thanks again everyone, I will reply privately when I have more time.
