thanks for all the info. I am going to go cold turkey for a month, just to see what happens.my family and i had dinner tonight (9 of us!) at spaghettti factory where they have gluten-free pasta. I am a pretty anal rule-follower, so cold turkey works for me. I would be so thrilled to get a handle on this pain. it is getting so old.

"Dangerous Grains: Why Gluten Cereal Grains May Be Hazardous to Your Health" by James Braly and Ron Hoggan.

Okay, I'm about 1/4 the way through the book. Don't know if I ever want to eat grains again...let alone have my son eat them... skull

Njmom, you were asking about specific tests one could have to identify sensitivities? Chapter 4 in the book is dedicated to this.

I wish you the best with the cold turkey approach.  You are like me, I like to just do it and give it my best shot. 
Keep us posted and kudos to you kiddo.

Gentle Hugs

Yogaprof, you are really lucky that you have a restaurant that serves gluten free pasta. I would be there all the time. I have heard some places will cook it for you if you bring it but that seemed like a lot of trouble to me. I usually end up having a chef salad when I eat out.

Quinoa pasta is pretty good. It is usually mixed with corn. The only one I really don't like is soy pasta. It is very rubbery. Van's makes gluten free frozen waffles. My husband eats them too and he has no reason. They are good.

I have heard that PF Changs, Outback Steakhouse, and Spaghetti Factory all have gluten-free offerings. If you live in cities with any of those chains. I am so appreciative of all the comments on both my threads about this topic.

You might also want to look into a local celiac support group. I know the one in my area welcomes anyone with dietary issues, you don't have to have celiac disease. You get lots of good ideas and tips from something like that. I have heard about Outback Steakhouse gluten free offerings. I should try it sometime. I don't recognize the other two.

Hey, if you find something good out there let me know too! I'm always looking for new ideas. Let us know if you try something suggested and don't like it too.
