Glucose Tolerance Test?

Gluten, not glucose. [...]

Ah! Thanks. ;-)

No, I've not had that test and can probably not afford it at this time.
Even with health insurance, I still can't afford elective health care.

Testing for celiac for someone who already knows they are
gluten-sensitive is certainly far from elective. Gluten is in at least
half the products on grocery shelves in one form or another so it takes
practice and a great deal of diligence to avoid it. For people with
this genetic condition (roughly 1 in 100), there is no safe level of
gluten. This is a manifestly serious condition that can readily lead to
a bevy of other grave health problems or early death if untreated or
treated too late. Denial is sometimes a problematic collateral issue
because of the extent of diet modification required. But, it's your
health and your business. I'll say no more.

I appreciate the time you took to post me a warning Isabella. Truly I do!
I really do doubt tho' that it'll be a problem for me as I almost
totally avoid processed foods.

I live mostly on freshly cooked meat, leafy greens, and fresh and fresh
frozen veggies. I don't eat bread or ANY grain products anymore except
for some rice, corn and occasionally legumes.

It's a life style. :-)

Cheers babe!
