Much appreciated. I will try the antihistamine route -- certainly can't hurt. And, I will definitely be more vigilant about the soy. It is very interesting to know that soy could be a more potent antigen for me than gluten. I should also say that after I posted my question I saw you mention in anoth...

advice for handling minor flare?

Hi folks, I have been dealing with a minor flare for the past three weeks. I am down to one 3 mg pill of Entocort a day (and had been doing OK on that for a month or so before the recent flare), but now I am wondering if I should go back up to 6 mg. a day. I have been avoiding gluten and dairy stric...

Thanks, Leah and Tex. Reassuring. I will still get a blood test to make sure everything's OK, as I'm overdue a check-up anyway, but it does sound pretty reasonable to me that it was a little hypoglycemia or something of that nature.

Leah, That makes sense, regarding the yeast, and I hope it doesn't turn out you have a problem with potatoes! When do you expect your results to come back? I look forward to learning about the results. Brandy, thanks for the GF tips. I've already made chocolate chip cookies with almond flour, and my...

Zizzle, Thanks for the kitchen tips. I will set aside some cookware for pasta for sure. I've also seen a baking sheet liner I was thinking about getting for me. My husband eats whatever I make him, but he also makes sandwiches for lunch on "real" bread, so I know that will be a hard habit ...

That's really helpful, Tex, and thanks for the thoughtful reply. To clarify, since August the Entocort has been helping but not to the extent it did the first round. Since I reduced the dosage last week, however, it's as if I'm not even on it, even after I kicked the dosage back up. We'll see if it ...

Hi everyone, I'm a new member but have been browsing the boards for a couple of months. I can't tell you what a great resource this has already been for me! Quick background: I've been symptomatic since fall 2009, was diagnosed fall 2010 and put on Entocort. The Entocort worked great and I weaned of...
